Black Box EMERW-020-R2 Rope Water Sensor With 20-FT. (6.0-M) CA
Overview
The Black Box EMERW-020-R2 is a rope-style water sensor designed for early detection of liquid leaks. Its 20-foot (6.0-meter) sensing cable allows for broad coverage around sensitive equipment, server racks, or critical infrastructure where water ingress can cause significant damage or downtime. This sensor integrates with compatible monitoring systems to provide immediate alerts, enabling rapid response to prevent costly water damage.
Compatibility
This sensor is designed for use with Black Box environmental monitoring units and compatible network-attached sensors. It is specifically engineered to interface with the Black Box EMPS-series power distribution units and the EMCS-series environmental monitoring systems. Verify compatibility with your specific Black Box monitoring controller before deployment.
Installation Notes
The EMERW-020-R2 sensing rope should be deployed in areas prone to leaks, such as under pipes, around HVAC units, or at the base of server racks. Ensure the rope is laid out to maximize coverage without kinks or sharp bends that could impede detection. The sensor requires a connection to a compatible Black Box monitoring unit for power and data transmission. Avoid placing the sensor in areas of standing water that are not related to a leak event, as this may trigger false alarms.
