How RF Code Fluid Detection Solutions Compare

You get the best price-for-performance solution that is engineered for reliable fluid detection and convenient install and management.

	RF Code	Other sensor solutions
Convenient install and management	Install on demand without specialist skills. Available in manageable strip lengths.	✖️ Install may require long lead times, specialist skills. Beware of excessively long rope lengths.
Works with coolants	Up to PG50	✖️ Struggle above PG25
Fluid detection reliability	Fluid detection strip can be wiped clean and reused	✖️ Rope style fluid detection systems may degrade after exposure to fluid
Competitively priced	Competitive sensor prices, high sensor density	✖️ Most can’t compete on sensor price & sensor density
Single point of integration for data access	Can simultaneously integrate with multiple systems using many protocols	✖️ May require protocol selection in advance, gateway to be hardwired into shadow network
No vendor lock-in to PDU or other products	Works with your choice of PDU, BMS, DCIM vendor	✖️ Beware of the PDU based add-on controller trap!

Fluid and Leak Detection

With fluid leaks response time matters. Fluid detection solutions provide the early warning needed to respond to leaks with enough time to prevent damage and downtime.

The Pin Point fluid location detection solution goes further - detecting not just that fluid is present, but exactly where the fluid is. Enabling faster response to fluid leaks.

Film-based detection strips wipe dry for long-life reliability
Sensors report fluid contact immediately
Locates the position along long strip lengths
Easy to install without long lead times or specialist skills
Critical for NVIDIA, liquid-cooled, and high-density deployments

Good reasons to contact RF Code

New data center

Build high performance data center telemetry into your new data center.

Adding liquid cooling

Fluid detection is a critical protection when liquid cooling systems are used.

Security for smart PDU

Securely monitor smart rack PDUs by creating a secure air-gap.

Energy efficiency & savings

Optimize cooling and cut energy costs by reducing overcooling, and monitoring for critical temperature changes.

Enhance operations

Supply telemetry and asset tracking data to key systems like BMS, DCIM and ITSM to enhance operations and enrich management data.

Asset audits

Automated continuous asset inventory and audit with active RFID asset tracking.

One place to integrate across all environmental sensors

Unlike other solutions, with RF Code you have one single point of integration that supports multiple systems simultaneously and provides the ability to use different protocols. With RF Code you aren’t locked into a single hardware-based protocol you need choose upfront.

Many integration protocols supported, including SNMP, MQTT, Modbus, Bacnet, REST API.

Environmental

Temperature and Humidity	For monitoring temperature and humidity. Typically used for front and back of rack temperature, but can be used for more.
Tethered Temperature Sensor	For monitoring temperature. This tag has a remote temperature sensor that can be placed closer to the temperature source.
Fluid Detection Sensor	For detecting fluid leaks and providing early warning.
Door Sensor	For monitoring access to a room, rack, hard drive disposal containers and more.
Dry Contact Sensor	Sensor that monitors dry contact or closed-loop monitoring circuit.
Differential Air Pressure Sensor	For monitoring for airflow problems that can prevent optimal data center cooling efficiency.

Power

Rack PDU Power Sensor	Sensor for securely monitoring smart Rack PDUs without need to connect the Rack PDU to the network.
AC Voltage Sensor	Sensor that detects presence of AC voltage in a power cable.

Asset

Active RFID Asset Tag

Tracks the real time location of data center assets. Assets can be tracked to rack, room or zone that they are located in.

FAQs

Where can the fluid detection sensors be used?

Customers have installed fluid detection sensors in data centers, manufacturing facilities, labs, and more.

How can the fluid detection sensors be installed?

Fluid detection sensor strips have a strong adhesive back to install under raised floors, in drip trays, wrapped around pipes, under machinery and more. Because the fluid detection strip is impossibly thin it is ideal for placing at doorways where rope style sensor strips won't work.

Does the solution work with Nlyte and other DCIMs?

Yes. The data from our environmental monitoring sensors is available in a number of convenient ways, including Modbus, BACnet, SNMP, MQTT and REST API.

Is it easy to add more sensors?

Yes. Installing additional fluid detection sensors is easy and can be completed in minutes. It's just as easy to add different sensor types, like temperature and humidity sensors, rack PDU monitoring, and asset tracking tags, alongside fluid detection sensors.
