With the Rope Water sensor you can protect your essential equipment from potentially harmful water damage. Designed and manufactured by AKCP it forms an integral part of your solution for data center monitoring.
Ideal for use in basements and under false floors and roof spaces, the Rope Water sensor can cover a large area. Combined with any
of our remote monitoring base units, or wireless tunnel sensors, it will give you advance notice of any water leaks or flooding.
The sensor will retain it’s error condition until it is read via an SNMP get. Therefore if the sensor encounters a critical condition at anytime it will report that condition before it returns to a normal state.
- Ideal for covering large areas monitoring water leaks in warehouse and data centers
- Compatible with sensorProbe+ and securityProbe series and Wireless Tunnel
- Protect water-sensitive equipment from disaster
- Notifications via E-mail, SNMP trap, SMS and more
- Comes in extendable 10ft lengths, or pre order custom length
- Powered by the base unit, no additional power required
- Will report critical state if cable is cut or damaged
