water detection

FD-100

Category:

E4A's water leak detection sensor delivers reliable, Bluetooth® 5 - enabled water leak detection for industrial environments where early awareness is critical. Featuring a rugged wall-mounted unit paired with a floor-level sensor, it provides accurate monitoring of leaks, drips, and pit overflows exactly where they occur. Its wireless Bluetooth® connectivity ensures instant alerts to personnel and seamless reporting to a central gateway, enabling rapid response and facility-wide visibility.

Designed for harsh, high-risk locations, the FD-100 sensor offers a simple, durable, and cost-effective solution to prevent equipment damage, reduce downtime, and maintain operational safety across industrial sites.

Operational Benefits

Asset Protection

Detects drips, leaks, and pit overflows early, providing instant alerts to prevent water damage, safeguard equipment, and reduce costly repairs and downtime.

Labor Savings

Automates continuous monitoring to replace manual inspections, reducing maintenance workloads and freeing staff for higher-value operational tasks.

Downtime Reduction

Identifies leaks before failures occur, preventing unexpected shutdowns, minimizing operational disruptions, and maintaining reliable performance.
