WaterCop WCDFST — Wireless Low Temperature Sensor Specifications

Product sheet for the WaterCop® WCDFST Wireless Low Temperature Sensor — a freeze-detection sensor that works with the WaterCop® Classic system to reduce water damage from frozen, burst pipes.

Overview

As water pipes freeze, ice inside the lines can cause them to expand and burst or pull away from fixtures. When temperatures warm enough to thaw the ice, water flow is restored — often in the form of hundreds of gallons rushing out of the failure point directly into the property. The WCDFST Low Temperature Sensor clips directly onto a pipe (up to ¾" diameter) and constantly monitors pipe temperature; left unattached, it still monitors ambient temperature. If pipe temperature falls below 34°F, the sensor sends a wireless alert to the WaterCop® Classic control valve, which immediately shuts off the main water service to minimize damage from potentially freezing and bursting pipes (or excessive temperatures).

Low Temperature sensors can't prevent pipes from eventually freezing and bursting, but they can help mitigate catastrophic loss and damage when the pipes eventually thaw and water flow is restored. WCDFST sensors can be added to any existing WaterCop® Classic system, or purchased as part of a new system installation.

Features

• Consider monitoring pipes highly susceptible to freezing and bursting, such as those feeding outdoor garden hose fixtures, or pipes in exterior walls, attics, crawl spaces, or other lightly insulated areas of the home
• Mount the sensor clip onto the pipe within 12" of an exterior wall
• User-adjustable digital security codes
• Clip directly to the pipe, or hang to measure ambient temperature instead
• Multiple WCDFST sensors can be added to any WaterCop® Classic system
• Powered by two AA alkaline batteries
• Low battery warning chirp
• Optional WPA power adapter available (for AC power instead of batteries)

While perfect for northern-tier states, Low Temperature sensors also provide proven protection for "milder-climate" homes that lack sufficient insulation to withstand unseasonably cold weather.
