subject: Leak Detection Systems, Flood Warning Systems And Flood Monitoring For Businesses Featuring The Ld-1 [print this page] When you think of leak detection systems, flood warning systems and flood monitoring you probably think of third word countries and or places where rivers are prone to flooding and flooding disasters in the news. However, flooding closer to home can cause allsorts of problem. Flooding in industrial workplaces and business premises can cause electrical fires and water damage to good and vital equipment. And your business premises don't have to be next to a river to be at risk, a leaking roof or a burst water pipe is all that is needed to cause considerable damage costing hundreds of pounds, not to mention the increase costs of your insurance. Although we all like to think that it wouldn't happen to us, it does and can happen and simple flood monitoring systems can be used to prevent it.
In the past, flood monitoring depended on someone observing water levels and reporting findings by radio. But nowadays flood monitoring is done by sensors. Small sensors can be set up to monitor moisture levels. Parameters can be set as to how sensitive the flood sensors are, and they can be left running 24 hours a day, to detect and potential leaks in the property.
Leak detection systems can be either active or passive. Passive leak detection systems are intended to alert you of a leak. It is possible to implement flood warning systems together with other adaptation measures, as part of an integrated flood risk management plan. When the sensor of the flood warning system reaches its alert parameter, the system send out text messages or emails to a pre determined list of people who can then act upon this information.
In many cases flood warning systems with flood monitoring sensors prevent hundreds of pounds of damage but are relatively cheap to install. The LD-12 flood detector is a cost effective and reliable flood sensor.
The LD-12 flood detector works as an indicator or a flood warning detector. When water is detected by the sensor, the information is sent to an alarm system to send out an alert message. The LD-12 works in conjunction with products with dry contact inputs. This flood detector is designed for indoor use and can withstand temperatures from -10 to 40 degrees Celsius making it a versatile solution in places of varied temperatures.
