Wireless Water Leak Sensor
The Wireless Water Leak Sensor from Fidar Electronics detects water anywhere along a sensing cable of up to 50 m. It links over a LoRa radio with no cabling at all.
Continuous sensing cable up to 50 m
Detects a leak anywhere along the cable
Immediate alarm to protect sensitive equipment
LoRa radio link up to 1 km line of sight
AES-128 encrypted payloads
Pairs with the FWL1600-01 LoRa card
No cabling; pairing takes seconds
Low-battery warning per node
A water leak sensor works with a continuous sensing cable: contact with water anywhere along its length raises the alarm at once. Unlike a spot probe, which only sees where it happens to sit, the cable covers up to 50 m and can be run around racks, under a raised floor, alongside chiller pipework or around a UPS room. In a server room the difference between minutes of warning and losing the whole room is exactly where and when the water is seen.
