Detect & defend from water damage
The sensor detects when water is present by completing the circuit between the two wires at the end of the water detection lead. When the detection state changes the sensor will immediately turn on the RF radio and transmit the data to the wireless gateway and iMonnit Online Sensor Monitoring and Notification System, allowing the user to immediately receive an SMS text or email alert. The sensor can be set to activate when the detection state changes, water is present, or water is absent. If the sensor sends an aware message, it can trigger the gateway to forward the data to iMonnit immediately, otherwise the data will be forwarded when the gateway talks to the server on its heartbeat or when triggered by another sensor. The sensor can be configured to detect both the presence and absences of water.
Protect your facility your way
Instant alerts from Monnit’s Water Detect Plus Sensors help defend against weather, faulty plumbing, and equipment failure. In addition to detection, the sensors monitor for water’s absence—helpful for sanitation and remediation.
Detect plus sensor employs a wall- or surface-mountable probe at the end of a 3’ lead to detect the water’s presence (or absence). The probe is often used in sanitation or process applications to detect levels in reservoirs or vats of non-combustible liquid. The Detect Plus probe helps minimize false alarms when mounted to compensate for expected variables, e.g., condensation.
This sensor comes with an industrial battery included with the life of up to 7 years.
All industrial sensors are enclosed in a reliable, weatherproof NEMA-rated enclosure that are constructed for both indoor and outdoor use. These rugged enclosures protect the sensor circuitry against;
- Falling dirt
- Wind-blown dust
- Rain, sleet, snow, splashing water, and hose-directed water
- Ice formation on the enclosure
- Increased resistance to corrosion
Features
- Impressive wireless range of up to 1,200 feet through walls
- Frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS)
- Improved interference immunity
- Improved power management for longer battery life
- Encrypt-RF® Security (Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange + AES-128 CBC for sensor data messages)
- Stores 2000 to 4000 readings if gateway connection is lost (non-volatile flash, persists through the power cycle)
- 10-minute heartbeats = ~ 22 days
- 2-hour heartbeats = ~ 266 days
- Over-the-air updates
- Free iMonnit basic online wireless sensor monitoring and notification system to configure sensors, view data and set alerts via SMS text and email
