Data Center Leak Detection Equipment

Distance-Read Leak Detection Equipment provides the best features when looking for pinpoint accuracy with your data center application.

Most common is the Water Leak Detection applications, whether under a raised floor, piping, or other hard-to-see areas. Server Rooms and Data Centers benefit well from this Leak Detection technology.

Distance-read panels can display a distance marker, then personnel can cross-reference to a Leak Detection Reference Map. A more advanced system can show a leak marker on an image, and take the guesswork out of where to look.

All Distance-Read Controllers support system integration using open protocols. Some models also use Form C relay output.

LD5200 Distance-Read Controller

The Goliath of Leak Detection Controllers

Any disaster mitigation strategy must include measures to protect a facility from hazardous leaks. The LD5200 combines advanced leak-detecting technology with a user-friendly UI. This integration enables customers to set up a distance-read leak detection system that monitors up to 10,000 feet of sensing cable and successfully safeguards precious assets fast and easily.

Configuration And Monitoring Via LCD Or Web Interface

The LD5200 is a device that RLE Technologies created with the end-user in mind. The LCD touch screen provides access to all essential device functions, including the ability to set up, monitor, find, and acknowledge leaks. The LD5200 may be utilized as a stand-alone device.

While the LD5200 Panel has a robust independent operation, it also offers extensive integration options. The LD5200 can provide leak detection and warn for an entire building through a single IP address. The LD5200’s multiple communications ports enable it to serve as an aggregation device for a number of secondary leak detection devices. The LD5200 also works with BMS, EPMS, DCiM, and NMS platforms.
