Black Box AlertWerks II Water Sensor with 15ft Cable (Blue)

Overview

The Black Box EME1W1-015 is a water detection sensor designed for the AlertWerks II environmental monitoring platform. It serves to provide immediate alerts when water contacts its sensing cable, helping prevent damage from leaks before they escalate into costly shutdowns. The sensor includes a 15-foot pre-terminated cable that can be extended up to 500 feet, ensuring flexible coverage in various environments such as data centers, server rooms, and remote sites. It operates reliably within a temperature range of -4 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for spaces with fluctuating temperatures.

Key features

• Direct connection to the AlertWerks II hub eliminates the need for an external power supply, simplifying installation and maintenance.
• Pre-terminated 15-foot sensing cable allows for quick setup and can be extended up to 500 feet to cover larger areas.
• Detects all types of water, including distilled and deionized, ensuring dependable leak detection in specialized environments.
• Wide operating temperature range supports use in equipment rooms with extreme heating or cooling cycles.
• Integration with the AlertWerks II hub enables multiple alert methods such as on-screen notifications, SNMP traps, emails, and SMS messages for timely response.

Key specs

• Sensing cable length: 15 feet (extendable up to 500 feet)
• Operating temperature range: -4 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit
