We are pleased to announce the AquiTron Addressable Pinpoint Alarm (AT-APA) leak detection panel has been updated to include BACnet® to meet the latest building integration requirements.
BACNet expands the panel’s current capabilities of Modbus TCP/IP register, SNMP trap, volt free alarm relays plus built-in web server for remote connection to a BMS, building or home automation system.
The AT-APA is a highly-effective leak detection alarm panel for use with TraceTek
AquiTron water sensing probes installed in a busy plant room adjacent to the underfloor heating manifold and hot water storage cylinder.
This room was defined as a higher risk by the client as it is left unoccupied most of the time.
A single zone alarm panel was used to monitor the two probes and activate an alarm that is connected to the central alarm system isolating a water shut-off solenoid valve to minimise damage and disruption should a leak occur.
