Leak Detection MDT: Rapid Water Alerts for Property Damage Prevention
Leak Detection MDT helps property owners monitor for water leaks in high-risk areas, providing immediate alerts when water is detected to prevent property damage.
Leak Detection MDT Overview
Leak Detection MDT assists property owners in monitoring water leaks in high-risk areas, such as hot water tanks, under sinks, or basement floors. When water is detected, it sends immediate alerts to ensure timely responses and prevent property damage.
Equipped with a two-foot or optional 40-foot water sensing cable that detects water presence along its length, this fully sealed MDT has a battery life of over 10 years and can detect freezing conditions, sending temperature-based alerts as needed.
By enabling proactive leak detection, this MDT enhances resource management and helps property stakeholders maintain the integrity of their facilities while reducing potential repair costs.
This device supports wireless ranges of 10+ miles, with extended coverage via repeaters (MAX) or additional gateways (LoRaWAN) for flexible deployment across diverse property layouts.
Leak Detection MDT provides advanced monitoring for water leaks, helping property managers prevent property damage and ensure efficient water management.
- Monitors for leaks near hot water tanks, sinks, and boiler floors.
- Sends immediate alerts to the DCAP or Gateway upon detecting water for quick action.
- Detects freezing conditions and alerts to prevent burst pipes.
- Includes a two-foot sensing cable for effective leak detection.
- Sealed design ensures durability and reliable performance.
- Integrates seamlessly with existing utility management for efficiency.
Whether addressing potential leak issues or enhancing property management efficiency, Leak Detection MDT is essential for modern utility oversight.
