Download Overview Resources WELCOME Welcome to Hochiki’s Water Leak Detection System, LEAKalarm. For technical data and pricing, please visit the Hochiki online store. INTRODUCTION The importance of finding a solution Despite the understandably significant resources spent on mitigating loss through fire, water damage actually poses a much greater threat to business continuity. Statistics show that the most likely cause of insurance claims in hotels, retail premises and commercial buildings is water damage, costing the UK insurance market iro. £800 million. The financial market is particularly sensitive to these potential losses with Data Centre outages costing such businesses an average of £12,000 per minute, hourly losses on the Stock Exchange of around £4.5 million and Credit Card Clearance around £1.8 million. The cost to businesses due to water leakage can be significant and it is not just the obvious physical damage to IT networks, electronic equipment, plant, fixtures & fittings, stock and the fabric of the building. Like fire damage, even a seemingly minor water leak can result in temporary relocation, loss of working hours, and loss of profits. Hochiki have therefore developed LEAKalarm; a fully addressable, highly reliable water leak detection system, providing vast coverage and value for money. BENEFITS How does LEAKalarm help? FULLY ADDRESSABLE LEAKalarm is a fully addressable system; enabling building management to quickly locate and remedy the situation. When you consider that on average, a data centre outage costs £12,000 per minute, ensuring water leaks are quickly located and remedied is essential for business continuity and mitigating financial loss. VAST COVERAGE A dual loop LEAKalarm panel will accommodate 508 probes or 25,400m of cable, which is more coverage than most competitor solutions offer. ROBUST AND RELIABLE The LEAKalarm water detection protocol is based on a protocol developed for the fire industry, therefore its reliability is indisputable. LEAKalarm will ensure that damage is avoided, disruption is reduced and losses are limited. FEATURES What does LEAKalarm have to offer? LINEAR & POINT DETECTION Offering both water detection probes and water detection cables, LEAKalarm is a flexible and adaptable solution which is ideal for a range of applications and environments.
