Detects the presence of water and outputs an alarm. |
BMS interface via a volt free relay output |
Additional relay output as standard for connection to valves, sounder/beacons, repeater panels and text diallers. |
Easy to install utilising push fit terminal connectors, minimal commissioning and maintenance required. |
This kit includes everything required to protect your comms room including alarm panel, sensor tape and external beacon. |
Monitoring the environmental conditions in a computer room has always been critical because of the risk of lost data. Even smaller Comms Rooms using wall mounted AHUs (Air handling Units) run the risk of water ingress coming into contact with sensitive electronic equipment.
By fitting a water leak detection system in the Comms Room, the risk of costly water damage can be significantly reduced as any water present will be immediately detected and an alarm raised.
The comms room water leak detection kit is specifically designed to protect smaller Computer Rooms up to around 5m x 5m. (other systems are available for larger areas and bigger data centres). The package contains everything required ensuring that installation and the continued operation is as easy as possible. In the pack there is a LeakStop+ alarm panel, a connection cable, 20m of sensor tape, floor clips, mains connection lead and an external beacon.
The LeakStop panel is mounted either inside the Comms Room or just outside. The connection cable is routed down to the floor (or under the floor if the floor is raised). Sensor tape can be positioned either around the periphery of the room or in a zigzag formation allowing maximum coverage. The beacon can be fitted outside the Comms Room usually above the entrance and will flash a bright amber light should a leak be detected. There is also a volt free relay within the LeakStop+ Panel that can be used to connect to the BMS (Building Management System) if required.
It works in the following way: Water (unless purified) contains contaminants such as ions and salts and it’s these within the water that are conductive. The water sensors (conductors) used for leak detection are separated by a carrier and the water acts as a path for very low electrical signal to pass from one to the other. It is this action that triggers the alarm.
In addition to having the ability to detect water leaks the LeakStop+ can also signal an alarm should anything happen to the integrity of the connection cable or sensor tape. Should the connection be accidentally pulled apart or any of the cables damaged some reason, the LeakStop+ Panel will sound a buzzer and switch on a warning light.

Leakstop+ Alarm Panel
Single zone water leak detection alarm panel with line fault monitoring and connection to an external beacon and BMS.
Sensor Tape (20M)
20 meter length of water leak detection sensor tape with moulded plug and socket. Designed to detect the presence of water at any point along its’ length.
External Beacon
Powered through the main alarm panel using a 12VDC supply, eliminating the need to use a NICEIC approved electrician, simply plug and play connection makes it easy to install. Super bright flashing beacon can be seen from over 30m away.
The Leak-Stop detects the presence of water in environments where it shouldn’t be. Perfect for use in tea points, WC areas, smaller comms rooms and plant rooms. If waters detected the alarm panel will trigger an internal buzzer and an LED will start to flash. There is also valve switching as standard and a second volt free relay that will switch when water has been detected.
OUTPUTS ARE AVAILABLE
- 1 x dedicated relay for connection to solenoid shut-off valve.
- 1 x 8 amp Volt free changeover common alarm relay, ideal for connection to a BMS.
- Mute button silences the panel after an alarm has been triggered as well as used to reboot the panel should a fault occur.
- Onboard LED output for System Healthy/Power On and Water Leak Detected. (LeakStop +) LED output for cable fault alert.
