Puck, rope or probe: choosing a water leak sensor
Pick the sensor by the shape of the risk, not by the room.
- Puck sensors cover one point: under a water heater, in an elevator sump, beside a chiller or in a drip pan. Drop one where water collects first.
- Rope sensors detect water anywhere along a length of sensing cable. Run one around the perimeter of a server room, under a raised floor, along a pipe run or beside a foundation wall, where a single point would miss a leak a few feet away.
- Probe sensors mount on a wall or surface and are used for levels in reservoirs, vats and sumps.
Every model reports to ioX-Pulse, so one leak at 2 AM reaches the on-call technician by email or text, and pairing a sensor with the LoRaWAN Smart Valve lets a workflow close the water supply when a leak is detected. Browse the full range in the LoRaWAN devices and sensors catalog.
