In commercial and residential buildings, basement flooding is one of the most common causes of property damage and operational downtime. For facility managers, hotel operators, and building system integrators, a reliable water alarm system is critical to maintaining asset safety and operational continuity.
Reliable Protection with ZigBee Water Leak Sensor
OWON’s ZigBee Water Leak Sensor (Model WLS316) offers an efficient and scalable solution for early-stage leak detection. The device senses water presence in basements, machine rooms, or pipelines and instantly transmits an alert through the ZigBee network to the central gateway or Building Management System (BMS).
Compact and battery-powered, it enables flexible installation in areas where wiring is difficult or space is limited.
