Sensor-based water leak detection systems
Sensor-based water leak detection works by using one or more of spot sensors, probes and cable/distance measuring cable, to identify water pooling. When water is detected, this information is fed back to a central control panel which will act to stop water flow and/or raise an alarm. Sensor-based systems can be single or multi-zone. Single- zone systems monitor one specific area, while a multi-zone system can monitor up to 500 separate areas.
Single-zone
AquaTek
- Entry-level water leak detection system, designed for residential and small commercial applications
- When a leak is detected, a localised audio-visual alarm is initiated
- A signal to a BMS can also be triggered via a relay
- Can connect to sensor cables, probes and pads
- Monitors distances of up to 30 metres from the panel
Example applications: Multiple tea points, small and medium-sized server rooms and/or combined UPS storage areas, hidden pipework and water storage tanks.
AquaTraq
- Designed to identify and minimise water leaks in sensitive areas where high value equipment and/or data is present
- When a water leak is detected, a localised audio-visual alarm is initiated; automatic text messages can also be sent via a SMS system
- A signal to a BMS can also be triggered via a relay
- Can connect to sensor cables, probes and pads; users are alerted to any faults with sensor equipment, including cable damage and broken connections
- Can connect to a solenoid valve, enabling automatic water shut off in the event of a leak Monitors distances of up to 100m from the panel
- Battery backup is available, allowing the system to remain functional for up to 10 hours
Example applications: Archive rooms, electrical switch rooms, boiler houses, plant rooms and small data centres
Multi-zone
AquaTek 4
- A compact, entry-level water leak detection system, designed for residential and small commercial applications
- Monitors up to four separate detection zones, over a distance of up to 30 metres from the panel
- When a water leak is detected, an audio-visual alarm is initiated to indicate which zone is affected
- A signal to a BMS can also be triggered via a relay
Individual zone relays can connect to solenoid valves, enabling automatic water shut off to the affected zone
Example applications: Multiple tea points, small and medium-sized server rooms, combined UPS storage areas, hidden pipework and water storage tanks.
GWD
- Designed to detect water leaks in sensitive areas where high value equipment and/or data is present
- Ideal for monitoring up to eight individual zones
- When a water leak is detected, an audio-visual alarm is initiated, according to the affected zone
- Can connect to sensor cables, probes and pads; users are alerted to any faults with sensor equipment, including cable damage and broken connections
- A signal to a BMS can also be triggered via a relay
- Can connect to a solenoid valve, enabling automatic water shut off in the event of a leak
- Additional relays are also available, allowing for extra functionality tailored to specific zones
Example applications: Archive rooms, comms rooms, computer rooms, electrical switch rooms, boiler houses, plant rooms and large data centres.
EMS
- New, sophisticated multi-zone water leak monitoring system
- Available in 5-zone, 10-zone and multi-zone configurations, expandable to simultaneously monitor up to 625 zones; ideal for commercial buildings of all sizes, industrial facilities and large, high-value residential property
- Fully addressable system, including master panel, outstations and individual zones
- Greater adaptability than many multi-zone systems on the market and configurable to provide a fully bespoke leak detection system
- Offers an extensive level of functionality, on a zone-by-zone basis, and clear alert reporting
- Touch screen graphical user interface, giving access to a range of live, real-time and historic system data
- Modular design makes EMS is an ideal and cost-effective solution across a range of applications
- Compatible with all Aqualeak water sensor cables and probes, as well as infrared, temperature and humidity sensors
Example applications: Archive rooms, comms rooms, computer rooms, electrical switch rooms, boiler houses, plant rooms and large data centres.
Leak Lokator II
- A sophisticated water leak detection system, ideal for large, multi-floor buildings and critical areas
- Capable of monitoring up to 500 separate zones simultaneously, every 60 seconds
- Comprised of a master station connected to up to 100 outstations, that can be up to 100m away from the panel
- Each outstation can connect to five sensor probes or cables, up to 50m long
- When a leak is detected, an audio alarm sounds in the affected underfloor outstation, enabling easy tracing; a visual alarm is also activated on the master station
- Uses Windows-based touch screen technology and an intuitive user interface to make programming and operating simple
Example applications: Archive rooms, comms rooms, computer rooms, electrical switch rooms, boiler houses, plant rooms and large data centres.
