Black Box EME1W1-015

Overview

The Black Box EME1W1-015 is a water detection sensor designed for the AlertWerks II environmental monitoring platform. It serves to provide immediate alerts when water contacts its sensing cable, helping prevent damage from leaks before they escalate into costly shutdowns. The sensor includes a 15-foot pre-terminated cable that can be extended up to 500 feet, ensuring flexible coverage in various environments such as data centers, server rooms, and remote sites. It operates reliably within a temperature range of -4 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for spaces with fluctuating temperatures.

Key features

• Direct connection to the AlertWerks II hub eliminates the need for an external power supply, simplifying installation and maintenance.
• Pre-terminated 15-foot sensing cable allows for quick setup and can be extended up to 500 feet to cover larger areas.
• Detects all types of water, including distilled and deionized, ensuring dependable leak detection in specialized environments.
• Wide operating temperature range supports use in equipment rooms with extreme heating or cooling cycles.
• Integration with the AlertWerks II hub enables multiple alert methods such as on-screen notifications, SNMP traps, emails, and SMS messages for timely response.

Key specs

• Sensing cable length: 15 feet (extendable up to 500 feet)

Connectivity and compatibility

This sensor connects exclusively to the AlertWerks II Environmental Monitoring System hub, drawing power and communicating alerts through this central unit. Its design ensures seamless integration within existing AlertWerks II setups, making it a practical choice for facilities already using this monitoring platform.

Ideal uses and environments

The EME1W1-015 sensor is well suited for environments where early water leak detection is critical to protecting sensitive equipment. It fits well in data centers, telecom exchanges, laboratories, and unmanned remote locations where temperature extremes and water exposure risks are present. Its ability to detect even distilled water makes it valuable in facilities with purified water lines, providing an extra layer of security against unexpected water damage.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
