Check Water’s Status Across Your Facilities

Sealed in a hockey puck made of nearly indestructible vulcanized rubber, Monnit’s Commercial Wireless Water Detection Puck Sensor is a novel way to monitor water presence or absence in a wide variety of facilities and locations.

With the perfect union of form and function, you can use the fully submersible, waterproof sensing device to face off against potential water damage by detecting leaks, flooding, and pooling. Or quickly sense the absence of water or other liquids in troughs, tanks, and containers. Place the versatile Water Detection Puck Sensor in virtually any facility area, including restrooms, kitchens, server rooms, boiler rooms, production lines, or under aging machines and systems.


Drop-in Monitoring

The sensor deploys in less than 15 minutes. Drop it under problematic plumbing, leaky windows, or tanks and turn it on via a magnetic contact switch. Once water or liquid rises approximately 1.6 millimetres under the probe, the sensor’s probes detect the water’s presence. This triggers an alert that’s sent via text, email, or call. Similarly, you can configure the sensor’s settings to detect the absence of water or liquid and immediately alert you.

Monnit’s Commercial Wireless Water Detection Puck Sensor detects when water is present by completing the circuit between the two probe points (exposed stainless steel metal screw heads) on the bottom of the sensor. When detection state changes (water present or absent), the sensor will immediately turn on the radio and transmit the data to the wireless gateway and the iMonnit Online Sensor Monitoring and Notification System. Once data is received in iMonnit, the user-configurable notification system can send emails, text messages, and automated phone calls to alert you of any changes to the sensor. The sensor detects both the presence and absence of water.

This sensor come standard with a non-replaceable 3.6V battery and has a typical battery life of approximately 10 years.

Monnit Gateway Options

An integral component of any IoT network is the gateway. A gateway device allows for data from sensors to be transmitted to the iMonnit software platform.


Monnit Ethernet Wireless Gateway 4

Monnit’s Ethernet Gateways allow your Monnit Wireless Sensors to communicate with the iMonnit™ Online Wireless Sensor Monitoring and Notification System without the need for a PC. Simply provide power and plug the gateway into an open Ethernet network port with an internet connection. It will then automatically connect with our online servers, providing the perfect solution for commercial locations where there is an active internet connection.

Monnit 4G + Ethernet IoT Gateway

The ALTA® by Monnit Wireless IoT Gateway combines a 4G LTE CAT-M1/NB2 cellular engine and Ethernet platform with Monnit’s wireless access point network to aggregate and communicate data from Monnit ALTA Wireless Sensors. The ALTA IoT Gateway allows ALTA Sensors to operate on the world’s leading cellular networks and stay connected to the Internet. The gateway uses AC main power but also has redundant power through a battery backup lasting up to 60 hours.

To meet the global demand for enterprise IoT deployment, the IoT Gateway communicates with the cloud-based iMonnit® monitoring software via cellular transmission, making it ideal for remote locations or where the Internet isn’t available. The RJ-45 Ethernet jack allows local device configuration, diagnostics, and connectivity backup. The IoT Gateway is instrumental in sending sensor notifications via text, email, or call if user-defined conditions are met or exceeded.
