## Article body

This comprehensive guide explains the technical information you need for water leak detection system — from project design through commissioning. It includes practical recommendations, checklists, and FAQs based on Heatemp Controls engineering and field experience.

## Risk analysis and protection zones

High water-damage risk areas: AHU condensate lines, sprinkler rooms, UPS rooms, and food-court drains.

Detector density should be set by risk score.

## Detector types

Cable-type, spot-type, and surface-type detectors suit different applications.

Heatemp water leak sensors provide BMS integration via relay output.

## Mounting best practices

Place at low points, follow slope direction, and position near test drains.

Route cabling through watertight channels.

## BMS and automation integration

Alarm, fault, and test mode signals should use separate DI points.

Configure event logging and SMS/email notification.

## Test and maintenance procedure

Monthly functional test and annual full scenario test recommended.

Record test results in digital maintenance logs.

Correct product selection and integration directly affect your project's long-term reliability and energy efficiency. Contact the Heatemp Controls engineering team for project-specific support on water leak detection system.

## FAQ

### Wired or wireless preferred?

Wired systems are prioritized for reliability in critical infrastructure; wireless options suit retrofit projects.

### Is automatic valve shutoff required after alarm?

Automatic valve closure is recommended in data centers and mall technical rooms; audible alarm may suffice in residential projects.

### What is sensor service life?

Quality detectors perform for 5–10 years; periodic functional testing is required.
