Rack-level visibility. Not just room averages.

Place sensors exactly where readings matter — front intake, rear exhaust, hot aisle, cold aisle. Get granular data that room-level sensors completely miss, and pinpoint hot spots before they cause failures.

Fluid & leak detection

Know about leaks before damage happens.

Fluid detection sensors protect liquid-cooled racks, CRAC units, and raised floor environments from catastrophic water damage. The PinPoint sensor goes further — detecting not just that fluid is present, but exactly where.

PinPoint — fluid detection
that tells you exactly where.

Not just "there is a leak somewhere." PinPoint identifies the precise location of fluid along a cable run — critical for liquid cooling environments where leaks cause catastrophic damage.

How it works

Three layers. One complete solution.

From physical tag to software intelligence — RF Code connects every layer of your infrastructure into a single real-time system of record.

FAQs

Common questions about data center environmental monitoring.

Yes. RF Code sensors are completely wire-free — battery powered and self-contained. There is no cabling to run, no conduit to install, and no network port needed. They can be installed on live racks and cabinets in minutes without disrupting operations.

RF Code sensors deliver rack-level granularity — not just room-level averages. Sensors can be placed precisely at intake, exhaust, or any point along a rack. This gives you the visibility to identify hot spots that aggregate sensors completely miss.

Alert response time is under 1 second from threshold breach to notification. Alerts are configurable per sensor, per zone, or globally — and can be sent via email, SNMP trap, SMS, or integrated into your DCIM or BMS alerting framework.

Yes. The PinPoint fluid detection sensor (R136) is specifically designed for liquid cooling deployments. It detects both the presence and exact location of fluid along a cable run — critical for catching leaks before they cause damage in high-density liquid-cooled environments.

RF Code sensors and CenterScape software support ASHRAE A2, A3, and A4 thermal envelope compliance reporting. CenterScape automatically compares live readings against the configured ASHRAE class and flags any out-of-envelope conditions in real time.

Yes. CenterScape supports SNMP, MQTT, Modbus, BACnet, and REST API integrations. It can push sensor data to any DCIM, BMS, or energy management system — keeping all systems synchronized with the same real-time data source.
