Didactum Monitoring System 300 – Protection against water leakage and water ingress
Didactum Monitoring System 300
Water damage is one of the greatest threats to IT infrastructures, production facilities, and sensitive building areas. Whether caused by broken pipes, leaking air conditioning units, or condensation – even small amounts of liquid can cause significant damage. The Didactum Monitoring System 300 is designed to reliably protect companies, data centers, and industrial facilities from such risks. With its comprehensive water leakage monitoring and precise capture of critical parameters, this IP-based rack monitoring system sets new standards in security and availability.
Water intrusion monitoring is a central component of the system design. Specialized leak sensors for server rooms and water leakage cables up to 50 meters long ensure that even the smallest traces of moisture are reliably detected. Thanks to this technology, companies can identify hidden dangers early – such as in raised floors, cable trays, or behind air conditioning units. Once a leak is detected, the rack monitoring system responds immediately with an alarm and logs the event comprehensively.
The strength of the Didactum Monitoring System 300 lies in its ability to monitor a wide range of operational and environmental parameters. It captures not only leaks but also temperature, humidity, voltage, smoke development, and airflow. This range makes the system a highly flexible solution for preventing water damage and continuously monitoring critical conditions. It is suitable for both data centers and industrial facilities where non-stop availability is mandatory.
In case of leak detection, the system reacts immediately with a water intrusion alarm. Responsible personnel are informed via e-mail, SMS, or SNMP trap. Additionally, sirens, flashing lights, or external alarm systems can be activated. The redundant connection via the optional LTE module ensures reliable notifications even if the network connection is interrupted – a crucial plus for remote monitoring of water damage.
Comprehensive protection through intelligent sensor integration
The monitoring system supports a variety of sensors. Point sensors can be installed in particularly vulnerable areas such as raised floors or under air conditioning units, while water leakage cables secure larger areas. Combined with humidity sensors, a precise picture of environmental conditions emerges. This intelligent networking of sensors creates a monitoring system against water intrusion that delivers immediate and precise information.
Applications and practical benefits
- Data centers: Protection of server hardware against sprinkler leaks, air conditioning units, or condensation.
- Industrial facilities: Detection of water leaks from cooling pipes or production machines.
- Building monitoring: Securing archives, technical rooms, and switchgear rooms against water damage.
- Energy supply: Protecting UPS, generators, and backup power systems against moisture damage.
- Remote sites: Continuous remote monitoring of water intrusion with LTE backup and centralized alerting.
User-friendly control and flexible alerting
Control is via a web-based interface accessible from any modern browser. Custom alarm plans and escalation levels can be configured directly: for example, setting that when a sensor triggers, a siren activates, a relay switches, and an SNMP trap is sent simultaneously. This flexibility makes the system especially valuable for companies needing redundant security concepts.
Technical highlights of the Didactum Monitoring System
- Four analog sensor ports for Didactum sensors
- CAN bus port for digital multisensors and expansion modules
- Supports Modbus TCP integration into industrial systems
- Eight potential-free inputs and five potential-free outputs
- Two relays with control options for doors, alarm systems, or cooling
- Expandable via LTE and Modbus RTU modules

Summary
How does the system respond to water intrusion?
As soon as a leakage sensor detects moisture, an alarm message is triggered. This can be sent via e-mail, SMS, or SNMP trap and combined with acoustic/visual warning signals.
Is the system suitable for large industrial facilities?
Yes, due to its scalability and the support of CAN and Modbus extensions, numerous sensors can be flexibly deployed. This allows for monitoring of extensive production halls or facilities.
Can alarms be integrated with other security solutions?
The Didactum Monitoring System 300 is fully SNMP and Modbus compatible and can be seamlessly integrated with common network and building management systems.
