Water Detection & Flooding Sensor for Computer Rooms
Water damage is probably the most unknown environmental threat for a computer room. Water in a server room can come from multiple sources:
- defect air conditioning systems
- leakage from pipes running through the computer room
- leakage in rooms next or above the computer room
- leakage from the roof
- flooding
Water is often not visible as most computer rooms are equipped with a raised floor.
When early detected, catastrophic damage to the systems and data can be avoided.
ServersCheck offers a low cost sensor for monitoring water leaks, wetness and flooding 24x7. This sensor can detect water or moisture present on floors, carpets and other surfaces. It will report a WET/DRY indication.
The sensor connects via an includedadapter to the network. Each sensor has its own IP address and can be located in a different location as the software monitoring it - provided there is a direct TCP/IP connection possible over port 3001.
The ServersCheck Monitoring Software is required to read, graph and alert on the values from the sensor. When water is detected at any point of the 6m cable then the ServersCheck Monitoring Software will alert you based on your preferences like email and SMS (Cell Phone) alerts.
