ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a water detection subassembly and method for forming same, for use in association with water detection system operating within a digital computing center. The subassembly includes a perforated protective shield fitted about a fabric mesh supporting copper conductors connected to a low voltage service. In that way, the shield completely isolates the fabric mesh and copper conductors against abuse such as provided from workmen's shoes coming into contact with the subassembly during repair, replacement or renovation of computing equipment at the center.
The shields are conveniently formed from commercially available plastic pipe such as PVC, sliced longitudinally and then attached to the concrete sub-floor of the computing room along the two cut longitudinal surfaces. Since a pair of shields can be formed from each section of plastic pipe, the shields are inexpensive to manufacture. Installation (and replacement) is facilitated by using a concrete stud gun to insert head-less studs into the concrete sub-floor through each shield following by capping the subassembly with wing nuts. A series of semi-circular openings along the shield give the shield a scalloped look and permits water an easy route into the interior of the subassembly.
