Spot Water Sensors

Spot water sensors 

detect the presence of distilled water for protecting your electronic equipment from water damage 

Water leaks can be a disaster, causing damage and potential large monetary losses. Protect your facility and infrastructure using spot water sensors.

Placed at strategic positions under raised flooring in a data center, they can be used as an early warning indicator when water may pose a threat. AKCP spot water sensors use technology developed by AKCP to detect the presence of even de-ionised water.

AKCP spot water sensors are an advanced microprocessor based design capable of detecting distilled water. In contrast, standard water detectors are unable to detect distilled water and water with other impurities due to them using a resistance type circuit. These resistance types rely on electrolytes present in the water, therefore being unable to detect distilled water due to their high resistance.

AKCP spot water sensors' entire circuit is encased in epoxy giving them a waterproof finish and able to withstand being submerged in water for prolonged periods. They have an SNMP OID for monitoring across a network, and will therefore report their critical condition at anytime before returning to their normal state.

Notifications can be sent to you via SNMP traps, or e-mail (sensorProbe base units) or using any of the wide range of alerts available on AKCP base units.
