AN INTEGRATED STRUCTURE MONITORING SYSTEM FOR MOISTURE MONITORING IN BUILDING SYSTEMS

摘要

A building monitoring system monitors selected zones in a building structure for the presence of moisture. The system uses multiple moisture detectors, each installed I the structure at a location to be monitored. A remote sensor unit is associated with each zone to be monitored and is c detectors in the associated zone. The sensor unit generates an alarm signal having a characteristic uniquely representing the sensor unit and any wet detector to pinpoint any leakage problem. A monitoring unit receives alarm signals from the sensor units, decodes the alarm signals and generates an alarm report reporting the existence and location of any leakage.
