FS-15: Knows when water invades your equipment or server room

• Used to detect water leaks
• Connects to a Vertiv Geist Watchdog climate monitor via analog input or analog to digital converter
• Receive alarms via email or SNMP

The flood sensor allows a Vertiv Geist Watchdog climate monitor to detect leaks that could damage your equipment. The sensor measures conductivity and indicates whether the sensor is dry, damp, or completely immersed in water.

When water or other conductive liquid is present, a tiny electrical current flows between the metal contacts on the sensor. The more liquid, the higher the current. A cable attached to the sensor allows the climate monitor to detect the presence and severity of a leak. Some example sources include:
• Plumbing fixtures
• Air-conditioner drip pans
• Condensation-outflow pans
• Roof/ceiling leaks

Connecting to a Vertiv Geist Watchdog climate monitor
There are two options for connecting the flood sensor to a Vertiv Geist Watchdog climate monitor. Since the flood sensor is an analog sensor device it can connect directly to an analog input. If other sensors already occupy these inputs, or the climate monitor doesn't have them, then you can use an analog to digital converter to connect the sensor to the monitor's digital-sensor ports.

Alarms
The web interface provided by a Vertiv Geist Watchdog climate monitor allows you to configure alarms to notify you if water is present. The notification is sent through email and/or SNMP trap. Some units can also trigger an alarm buzzer or energize an output relay.
