Neat electronic alarm warns of water leaks
Waterstop is a new electronic alarm system which provides an early warning of water leaks; it fits on to the wall at ground level and can be hidden completely behind the wall panel
The central unit can be configured to send user-defined SMS (short message service) 'text' messages to one, or several, mobile telephones or GSM modems based on events on the fieldbus.
This may be a digital signal changing status or an analogue signal exceeding a limit value.
It is also possible to send a control command, via SMS, to an output module or to inquire about the status of a digital or analogue signal on the fieldbus at any time.
The system is ideal for remote control applications, such as waterworks or wastewater treatment plants, where several remote pump stations must be controlled and monitored.
