    The MCT-550 Flood Detector is designed so that the transmitter is mounted high on the wall, and the flood sensor is placed in a location where water presence, such as a result of leakage or flooding, is possible. Upon flood detection, a digital message is transmitted. Alarm and other data are thus forwarded to the alarm system. The Flood Detector also transmits supervisory reports, including battery condition, to the wireless control panel or receiver at regular intervals - ensuring system integrity and functionality at all times.

    To ensure secure communication, transmissions use a PowerCode™ 24-bit ID command code, which is selected from 16 million possible combinations and is therefore virtually impossible to accidentally reproduce. A smart anti-collision algorithm prevents signal jamming by simultaneous transmissions from multiple devices.

    Reviews

    "very, very cool product. gives me peace of mind that basement won't flood without my previous knowledge." - MICHAEL - BROOKLYN, NY
    "works great. Hope I wont need this either!" - KENAN - NANTUCKET, MA
    "Hooked up to my Powermax Wireless Security System. Tested with water and works beautifully. System now pages me and calls my cell phone if basement floods. I am very pleased with my Powermax Wireless system. It was a fun project installing it and I am very impressed with all the features it has. Everything I ordered so far has worked well. I plan on adding a few more sensors later (e.g. smoke detector). It is very easy to add on to the system whenever you want." - KEITH - MIDDLETOWN, CT
