EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS
• Data center and server room water monitoring
• Document retention center monitoring
• Basement water monitoring
• Plumbing leak detection
• Boat bilge monitoring
• Storage monitoring
Many additional applications.
The ALTA Wireless Water Rope Sensor detects the presence of water anywhere along the
surface of the rope. Sensor comes with 10 feet of water rope. Additional 10 ft sections are
available and can be connected up to 100 feet.
• 10 ft lead and 10 ft water detection rope
• Immediately detects water anywhere along rope
•
Expandable up to 100 ft of detection rope
The ALTA Wireless 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 and transmit the data to the wireless gateway and iMonnit Online Sensor Monitoring
and Notification System, allowing the user to immediately receive an alert by SMS text,
email or voice call. The sensor rope dries quickly allowing the sensor to reset for next
use. Detection rope can be expanded up to 100 feet by simply clicking additional 10 foot
sections of detection rope together. Additional sections of water detection rope are available
on the Monnit website.
