A Water Leak Detection is an electronic device that is designed to detect the presence of water and provide an alert in time to allow the prevention of water damage.
Water leak detection is an expression more commonly used for larger, integrated systems installed in modern buildings or those containing valuable artifacts, materials or other critical assets where early notification of a potentially damaging leak would be beneficial. In particular, water leak detection has become a necessity in data centers, trading floors, banks, archives and other mission-critical infrastructure.
Current digital water leak detection systems can locate multiple water leaks to within 1-meter resolution over a complex network of cables running several kilometers. Water leak detection (WLD) functionality reduces the downtime and potential damage caused by inaccurate reporting that was common with older analog based systems.
