SJE-Rhombus Xpert Alert Wi-Fi
The Xpert Alert Wi-Fi indoor alarm system from SJE-Rhombus can help protect a structure from costly damage due to flooding, pump failure or freezing pipes. The system monitors and reports residential alarm conditions by notifying locally (audible and visual alarms) and remotely via SMS text messages and/or emails. It uses an existing Wi-Fi or Ethernet network to send messages. The design incorporates an LED alarm light ring that illuminates red for Alarm 1 and amber for Alarm 2. The red low-temperature indicator activates at 40 degrees F to alert for potential freezing conditions, but it can be deactivated for cold climates. It is CSA-certified. Connect it to the WS360 Water Sensor (available exclusively with this alarm) to get immediate remote notification of potential water damage. When water reaches any side of the 360-degree sensor, it sends alerts locally and remotely. 888-342-5753; www.sjerhombus.com
