MicroFluidWatch (MFW)

The Micro-Fluidwatch is a miniature leak detection sensor designed for integration with mission-critical equipment for IT as well as industrial applications. The sensing cable is highly flexible, ruggedized, and has no exposed metal. The sensing cable can detect the presence of any liquid within seconds.

Key Features:

  • Detects both electrically conductive and non-conductive liquids

  • Insensitive to dust dirt buildup and corrosive environments

  • Small form factor fits hard-to-access areas

  • Highly flexible and ruggedized sensing cable

  • Built-in Open drain outputs

  • LED status indication

MicroFluidWatch Plus (MFW+)

The MicroFluidWatch Plus (MFW+) is an advanced miniature leak detection sensor with an on board microprocessor. The MFW+ can operate as a standalone sensor to monitor a piece of equipment as well as network with the InterConnect Module (ICM) controller to monitor a large facility. The highly flexible 2mm diameter sensor cable allows the MFW+ to monitor tight and hard to access areas while providing early leak detection. With its ruggedized design and no exposed metal, the MFW+ is well suited for wide range of applications from industrial chemical detection to liquid-cooled data center.

Key Features:

  • Detects both electrically conductive and non-conductive liquids

  • Compact form factor fits hard-to-access areas

  • Insensitive to dust dirt buildup and corrosive environments

  • Easily cleaned and reusable sensor

  • Highly flexible, insensitive to temperature fluctuations and ruggedized sensing cable

  • Flame-retardant UL94-V0 material construction

  • Networkable with ICM controller

  • Standalone w/ open drain outputs or Solid-State Relay (SSR) output w/ ICP

  • LED status indication to show alarm

  • Adjustable sensitivity to meet different requirements

InterConnect Module (ICM)

The PermAlert InterConnect Module® (ICM) is a liquid leak detection controller designed to work with the MicroFluidWatch® sensor. The compact ICM system is ideal for mission critical facilities such as data center, semiconductor fab and pharmaceutical manufacturing. With the simple plug-and-play interface, user can easily startup system in minutes. Combined with the versatility of the MicroFluidWatch® sensor, the system can easily detect both electrically conductive and non-conductive liquids within seconds which provides incredible flexibility for applications such as liquid cooling in data center. The highly scalable system can also be networked together on the same serial bus to monitor hundreds of sensors simultaneously.

Key Features:

  • Plug-and-play design for ease of installation and startup

  • Detects both conductive and non-conductive liquids in seconds

  • Built-in webpage interface for remote monitor

  • Event log up to 2,000 events with export function

  • Monitor up to 200 MicroFluidWatch® Plus sensors simultaneously

  • Network expandable up to 200 ICMs on same serial bus

  • IP30 rated enclosure ideal for indoor application

  • Solid-state relay outputs

  • Support 3rd party integration via Modbus and BACnet

InterConnect Point (ICP)

The PermAlert InterConnect Point® (ICP) is a PermAlert leak detection network component that provides RJ45 port replication to the MicroFluidWatch® Plus sensor for connection and continuation of the serial data network of the ICM system. The ICP provides a connection for one MicroFluidWatch® Plus sensor plus RS-485 and power connections for the continuation of the PermAlert serial network connection to support additional MicroFluidWatch® Plus sensors. The ICP also provides a connection point to the local solid-state relay (SSR) output from the MicroFluidWatch® Plus sensor to any 3rd party controller.

Key Features:

  • Extends the MicroFluidWatch® Plus sensor network via RS-485 serial communication

  • Compact and lightweight design

  • Ease of installation with structured cabling connection

  • Screw terminals for local solid-state relay (SSR) output

  • Allow direct integration of MicroFluidWatch® Plus sensor with 3rd party device via SSR output

  • Support 3rd party integration with ICM controller
