Flood Sensor Connectivity

This Reduced Pressure Detector Assembly includes an integrated flood sensor designed to detect excessive water discharges from the relief valve. To activate the flood alert feature and relay notifications, an add-on sensor connection kit is required (sold separately). Once activated, the sensor can communicate through various systems:

  • Building Management Systems (BMS)
  • Cellular Network Communication
  • Integration with a Sensor Control Monitor (sold separately) enables connection to Building Automation Systems (BAS) via RS-485 Modbus or to the Nexa® platform through Wi-Fi connectivity.
