AVTECH Software Sensor Compatibility Chart

[1] You can attach analog sensors like the extreme high and extreme low temperature sensors by using the Temperature & Analog sensor connector attached to a digital port.

A guide to all of the temperature sensors available from Avtech including temperature range, accuracy and Room Alert compatibility.

The temperature sensors mostly use an RJ-11 digital connector to attach to your Room Alert monitor. If you would like more information about the various Avtech sensor connectors, please read the Guide to Avtech Software Sensor Types.

There are two types of flood sensor available for the Room Alert range of monitors.

Spot Flood Sensor

The spot flood sensor is able to detect water ingress in a single location. It is typically used either with a sink or a drip tray that concentrates water into a single central tray section where the spot flood sensor is located.

Spot sensors are very good at locating water in a single location but they are not very useful if you wish to detect water over a much larger area. That is where the rope flood sensor comes into its own.

The Spot Flood Sensor is available with a lead cable length of 7.5m only. The length of the lead cable is the distance you can place the water sensitive unit away from your Room Alert monitor.

Rope Flood Sensor

The rope sensor is able to detect water ingress over a wide area by using a long water sensitive cable. The cable can be used to cover a wide area typically underneath a server room raised floor or inside the ceiling space above a server room.

Rope Flood Sensors are available with a water sensitive rope length of 2.4m or 7.5m. The length of the water sensitive rope determines how large the area you are able to monitor for water ingress. The longer the cable, the larger the surface area you can monitor.

Each Rope Flood Sensor has a 4.5m cable connecting the flood sensor to the Room Alert monitor. Therefore, you can place the water sensitive cable up to 4.5m away from your Room Alert monitor.
