Environmental Monitoring System (EMS-5X, 10X and OS) Instruction Manual

Product Overview 

 

The EMS-05 supports both 

RS232/RS485 protocols

. RS485 is the default protocol and an Aqualeak 

Engineer will be required if RS232 is required. 

 

 

The 

Aqualeak  Environmental  Monitoring  System

  (EMS) 

Water Leak Detection System

 series are standalone leak 

detection  systems  designed  to  be  integrated  with  larger 
Building Management Systems (BMS) and networks. 
 
Designed  for  continuous  operation  with  minimal  human 
intervention, the EMS series is also compatible with a wide 
variety of sensing technologies (sold separately) to detect 
the presence of water and other liquids. 
 
With 5 (EMS-5X) or 10 (EMS-10X) input channels as standard, 
these models are ideal for applications ranging from small 
multi-room  offices  to  medium-sized  industrial  and 
commercial  complexes.  Alternatively,  the  scalable  and 
modular  EMS-OS  is  ideal  for  large  scale  industrial  and 
commercial applications. 

Features 

 

Highly versatile with bespoke configuration 

 

Programmable relay outputs 

 

Remote Status Monitoring (via email) 

 

Email, Modbus and multiple digital outputs 

 

Supports Modbus TCP/IP and Modbus RTU 
RS232/RS485 

 

Touch screen display 

 

Designed and built in the United Kingdom 

 

CE Compliant 

 

Monitors for leaks, sensor cable breaks and 
internal system faults  

Operation 

In operation, the EMS-05 continuously monitors all independent sensing circuits connected to it to reduce risks 
from flooding. If a leak or cable break is detected, the EMS-05 will and/or can be configured to: 

 

Activate a visual alarm 

 

Activate an audible alarm 

 

Shut off local water supplies 

 

Activate default and user-defined outputs 

 

Report to any network via Modbus, digital 
output, and/or email
