EWA System Features

Early Warning Alarm for Water Leak Detection & Environment Monitoring

Monitoring environmental conditions is critical to the protection of moisture and/or temperature sensitive facilities and valuables. The damage that results from leaking or sweating pipes, clogged drains, ruptured storage tanks temperature or humidity extremes, can be absolutely devastating. Because the potential for these problems and because the accompanying losses are so great, business, industry and asset conscious individuals are turning to the Hydro-Temp Early Warning Alarm (EWA) System for protection to secure their valuable assets.

Originally developed in 1971, to protect computer installations and their recorded and stored data, the EWA System can be applied wherever water and climate damage may occur. The EWA System consists of a solid state Control Unit, our unique liquid detector tape and other sensors that monitor and warn of liquid leaks, changes in temperature, humidity and liquid levels, around the clock. In addition, users report exceptional reliability and minimal maintenance requirements for the EWA System. Moreover, the unique design of the EWA System prevents false or bothersome alarms.

EPC-50/32 Control Unit - Micro-processor Based

• Designed to meet user's needs - monitors up to 32 zones or inputs
• Designed to accommodate various conditions of computer operations
• May be used in other type applications - record storage facilities, museums, multi-story building, etc.
• LCD display, 2 line X 16 alphanumeric characters
• Keypad - operator interface for programming, viewing & lockout feature
• Monitors 1-16 or 1-32 independently wired inputs
• Multiple outputs, including RS-232 and optional by-zone relay interface available
  ... Common relay outputs -ALARM & FAULT and ALARM HORN
• Adjustable detection sensitivity and alarm setpoints for each zone
• 36 hour Battery Back-up
• Cost efficient & low maintenance expense

Liquid Leak Detection & Environmental Monitoring

• Features our exclusive leak detection
• Spot & level detection
• Temperature & humidity monitoring

Early Warning Alarm at leak stage

• Prevent, flood/disaster
• 95% of floods are prevented when detected at leak stage

Lineal Leak Detection Tape - B-11

• Detects water, including de-ionized water, & other aqueous or conductive liquids
• Laid out in small zones surrounding potential source of leak
• Military grid - for maximum degree of redundancy
• Every inch glued to surface - avoids bridging, damage and migration
• Sensitivity adjustable - by zone
• Low profile - .5 mm high - avoids damage (not damaged when stepped on)
  
• Lineal leak detection - superior to spot detection
• No incidence of electrolysis
• 2 year warranty

Redundant Detection Capability

• Proper design allows redundancy - other zone(s) in close proximity
• Subsequent or multiple alarm capability
  ... tracks flow or progress of leak

Zoned System

• Build-up, to size system required
  ... 1-16 or 1-32 zones/inputs per EPC-50/32 Control Unit
• Simultaneous multiple device monitoring & alram
  ... Lineal leak detection using unique B-11 tape
  ... Water levels - sump, drains, etc.
  ... Spot Detection
  ... High-Low temperature sensors-real time value viewing
  ... High-Low Humidity-real time value viewing
  ... Other devices
• Multiple outputs-RS-232, modem hook-up, by-zone & summary
  ... Remote annunciation - summary and/or by-zone using optional EPC-RI8 relay output interface
  ... Corrective measures - sump pump activation, solenoid water cut-off, shutdown, etc.
  ... interface with computer or building management system
