RF Code

Thin-Film

Non-absorbent film strip + less cabling

Legacy Approach

Traditional Rope Style

Absorbent sensor rope & heavy cabling

Form Factor Ultra Thin Sensor Strip
Ultra-Thin Film Profile

Just 1mm thick with an industrial adhesive backing make them easy to deploy and unobtrusive.

Bulky & Intrusive Rope

Traditional rope cables are thick and bulky and can get in the way.

Liquid Cooling Works with Coolants
PG50 & Below Support

Support for high PG mixtures. Reliable detection for PG50 and below.

Struggles > PG25 Coolant

Most detection rope struggles above PG25 coolant mixtures.

Reusability Fluid Detection Reliability
Wipe-Dry Reusable

Film-based detection strips can be easily wiped clean and reused immediately.

Degrades / Replace After 1 Leak

Traditional rope cables absorb glycol/coolant and require replacement or bake-out cycles after a single minor leak event.

Infrastructure Less Cabling
Less Cable Required

Provides high fluid sensor density without the cabling nightmare.

Miles of RS-485 Daisy Chains

May require miles of RS-485 and controller daisy-chaining.

Deployment Convenient Install & Management
Fast On-Demand Install

Install on demand without specialist skills. Available in manageable, flexible strip lengths.

Specialist Labor & Long Lead Times

Install may require long lead times and specialist skills. Beware of excessively long rope lengths.

Protocols Flexible Integration Options
Multi-Protocol Simultaneous

Simultaneously integrate with multiple systems using many protocols (SNMP, MQTT, Modbus, BACnet, REST API).

Single Protocol Lock-in

May require protocol selection in advance and provide support for a single protocol only

Economics Competitively Priced
High Density & Lower TCO

Competitive sensor prices and high sensor density options.

High Capex & Replacement Costs

Most solutions cannot compete on sensor price and overall sensor density.

The Bottom-Line Verdict

Engineered for AI Density, Liquid Cooling & Immediate Post-Incident Recovery

While traditional rope sensors degrade upon glycol exposure and turn every leak into a costly sensor replacement project, RF Code's thin-film strips wipe clean and resume monitoring in seconds — without physical wiring nightmares.

Fluid and Leak Detection

With fluid leaks, response time matters. RF Code's fluid detection solutions provide the early warning needed to respond to leaks with enough time to prevent damage and downtime. The PinPoint fluid location detection solution goes further — detecting not just that fluid is present, but exactly where it is along the run.
