Alarms

Our most basic level of protection is a FloodMaster water alarm that sounds when a leak or near-overflow condition is detected, with integration available to a security panel or BMS. Early notification of otherwise unnoticed leaks can prevent water damage and associated costly clean-up.

Thanks to the RS-096 water leak alarm’s magnetized water sensor design, the sensor can easily be installed at an elevated height for monitoring HVAC condensate pans. This allows a normal amount of water to accumulate in the pan, with the system only activating if there is a near-overflow situation. Place the sensor horizontally or vertically flush to the floor for immediate detection (1/16"), or install it at the desired near-overflow detection offset (suggested 1/2"). A through hole is provided on the sensor head for more tamper-resistant applications.

Another option is the RS-095 battery-powered water leak alarm with attached 6' wired sensor and audible alarm. (Note: this is a water alarm only and does not include dry contacts for security panel / BMS integration).

Why choose the RS-096?

• Easy installation
• No wiring required; simply plug into a standard wall outlet (except plenum-rated RS-096-MK6)
• Additional sensors can be added for a wider area of leak detection
• Systems are reusable – when the alarm sounds, fix the problem and reset unit for continued protection
• Can interface with an existing security panel or BMS
• Plenum-rated kit with a hard-wire, step-down transformer is also available (RS-096-MK6)

The RS-096 is especially suited for the following applications:

Residential drains and pipes, fan coil heating/cooling units, HVAC units with overflow pans, equipment protection for healthcare and dental facilities, data processing rooms, any area requiring leak detection and communication via a building management system
