Monnit Industrial Wireless Water Detect+ Sensor

The Monnit Industrial Wireless Water Detect+ Sensor is a rugged, purpose-built solution designed to protect facilities from water damage, floods, and moisture intrusion. Part of the ALTA Wireless family, this sensor quickly reports the presence or absence of water in critical spaces such as basements, machine rooms, data centers, and outdoor installations. With flexible lead options and reliable wireless connectivity, it helps facilities managers maintain uptime, reduce repair costs, and optimize preventive maintenance programs. Whether you’re monitoring a sump pump pit, cooling equipment, or a risky utility area, the Water Detect+ Sensor delivers timely alerts, actionable data, and seamless integration with Monnit’s comprehensive IoT platform.

• Immediate water detection — Detects the presence of water right away and sends real-time alerts to your monitoring dashboard, staff, or automated systems, enabling faster response and minimizing potential damage.
• Flexible lead options — Choose from lead lengths of 0.9 m (3'), 3 m (10'), 7.5 m (25'), 15 m (50'), and 30 m (100') to fit tight spaces or long-run installations, with lead or probe configurations to suit different detection needs.
• Industrial-grade wireless reliability — Built for demanding environments, the Water Detect+ Sensor uses Monnit’s ALTA Wireless technology to provide secure, scalable sensing without complex wiring or invasive installation.
• Seamless platform integration — Integrates with Monnit Manager and compatible gateways for centralized monitoring, alerting, and historical data, helping teams track trends and verify corrective actions.
• Easy deployment and maintenance — Compact, rugged design supports rapid installation in basements, mechanical rooms, data centers, utility closets, and outdoor enclosures, with straightforward field-proven lead configurations for long-term reliability.

How to install Monnit Industrial Wireless Water Detect+ Sensor

• Plan placement: Identify the highest-risk locations for water intrusion within the area to be monitored and determine the appropriate lead length to reach a stable mount point or detection path.
• Install mounting and lead: Mount the Water Detect+ Sensor securely in the chosen location and connect the lead or probe according to the selected configuration. Ensure the lead path is protected from physical damage and free from interference.
• Pair with the Monnit gateway: Power the sensor and associate it with a compatible Monnit gateway or the Monnit Manager-enabled network. Allow the device to register and begin transmitting status data.
• Configure alerts and thresholds: In Monnit Manager, set notification rules for water presence or absence, define alert recipients, and tailor escalation paths to ensure timely responses from the right personnel.
• Test and validate: Trigger a controlled water presence event to verify alerts are received, dashboards reflect the event, and historical data correctly records the occurrence for audit trails and maintenance planning.
