A data center is a physical location that contains the computing infrastructure that IT systems require, such as servers, data storage drives, and network equipment. Cooling systems are used to keep servers cool, improve airflow between the aisles, isolate hot air, and keep humidity at an appropriate level.
The presence of water from condensation or leakage may cause tremendous damage to the functionality of the IT equipment in data centers. Increase moisture within the structure also encourages the growth of mold and other infestations. Therefore, monitoring and localization of leakage, condensation or buildup are critical in maintaining the efficiency of data centers.
Sensing cables and floor leak detectors are designed to detects the presence of water, triggers an alarm, and pinpoints the location of the water. They are lightweight and flexible, enabling easy installation for a wide coverage area.

The sensor (cable) is laid along the monitored area or pipeline, and, connected to the evaluation unit. Leakage is detected by the converter, which determines, records and reports information via the analog output, relays and the RS485 Modbus interface. LWC-B (Local floor detector) can be connected to the converter.
- Static floor water detector
- Integrated resistor for detection loop monitoring, with ES5000 relay
- Applications:
- Control of presence or not of conductive liquid on the floor
- Monitoring in technical room, computer room, etc.
- Detection in retention basins, underground cable trays, etc.

The resistive level detector, associated to a resistive relay, detects the variation of resistor value caused by the presence of a conductive liquid between two electrodes. This variation generates an alarm signal via a resistive relay.
With the integrated resistor (680 kOhm), the ES5000 relay secures the detection loop by detecting any cable break or short circuit.
- Detection of water leaking (1 drop is sufficient)
- Alarm signal before flooding
- Self diagnostic of measuring loop integrity, LED display (Short circuit or ribbon sensor break off)
- Protection of equipment and exposed areas
- Suitable to any surface
- Applications: Water distribution (pipes, sprinklers) and alarming in case of water, condensation or humidity in areas where water is prejudicial for equipments (Computer rooms, machinery, power plants, medical equipments, HVAC, museum, stores, etc.)

The ribbon detector consists of two metal wires connected at the end by a resistor and insulated by an absorbent fabric. The special material used for the ribbon, contains ionic ingredients, which allow detection of demineralised water. This flexible ribbon is placed in all positions and fits all shapes.
As soon as there is humidity somewhere on the ribbon, the relay detects the change of resistivty and switch on the alarm signal, even before a significant amount of water could be find out.
The relay ES5000 includes a self diagnostic of the integrity of measuring loop (alarm in case of short circuit, or ribbon sensor break off) in order to warrant a positive safe detection system.
