Detect the presence of water and prevent disaster!

Data loss, irreparable damage, lost revenue—all could have been avoided through early detection with a Monnit Enterprise Water Rope Sensor.

The Water Rope Sensor detects the presence of water anywhere along the surface of the rope element. When liquid contacts a sensor’s conductive polymer rope, the sensor instantly activates its onboard RF radio and transmits water presence data to the iMonnit Sensor Configuration and Management software. This facilitates a near-instantaneous text, call, or email alert.

Prevent the ripple effects of water damage

The Monnit Enterprise Water Rope Sensor detects conductive liquids anywhere along the length of the detection rope by using two wires covered with conducting polymer. When water or conductive liquid contacts the rope, the sensor will immediately turn on the RF radio. Then, the sensor transmits the data to the wireless gateway and the iMonnit Online Sensor Monitoring and Notification System, allowing you to immediately receive an alert by SMS text, email, or voice call. The sensor rope quickly dries so it can reset.

This water detection sensor comes with 10 feet of a sensing lead or detection rope. An additional 10-ft sections are available and can be connected up to 100 feet. The sensor comes with AA batteries includes and has an estimated battery life of 10 years.
