ROOFGUARD with FLECK connect

INSTALL MORE SAFETY ON THE FLAT ROOF

 

FLECK ROOFGUARD – leaf screen that removes leaves from itself automatically and sends status messages directly from the roof via the FLECK connect digital wireless module.

HOW ROOFGUARD WITH FLECK CONNECT WORKS

What if a leaf screen were to raise itself automatically if it were blocked and the leaves suddenly dragged away by the backed-up water?

If leaves and dirt clog the gravel or leaf trap of a flat roof drain or gully and cause the rainwater to back-up, considerable damage can occur. Roofs, which are particularly susceptible to leaf and dirt accumulations, should therefore be maintained regularly, since no drain or gulley reports dangerous backwater in the event of heavy rainfall events.

The innovative solution: the ROOFGUARD with FLECK connect. The ROOFGUARD- leaf screen lifts itself automatically, as soon as the flat roof drain or gully is blocked and the water reaches a backed-up level of 60 mm. The backed-up water shoots beneath it and into the drain. The resulting undertow drags leaves, hail, etc. along with it. The leaf screen then lowers itself and FLECK connect* sends an email. The owner, roofer or facility manager can then arrange an inspection or maintenance.

*FLECK connect is only available in Germany at the moment.

A BRILLIANT IDEA NOW ENABLES A “REMOTE DIAGNOSIS”

Flat roofs must be maintained regularly, among other things to maintain insurance protection. Owners who spare the expense accept the risks.

The increasingly frequent heavy rainfall events increase the risk of backwater on the flat roof penetrating the building where it can cause substantial damage, especially where older roofs without an emergency overflow are involved. The idea of the ROOFGUARD was born in practice and was thought up by a master roofer, in order to offer owners a permanently active protection system for the flat roof drain and thus increase safety on flat roofs.

With the ROOFGUARD with FLECK connect ,roofers can:

  • identify urgently needed maintenance from afar
  • add the technology to existing maintenance agreements
  • point out the need for maintenance agreements
  • reduce the risk of flooding on flat roofs

 

HOW IT WORKS IN DETAIL

The ROOFGUARD with FLECK connect explained in 4 steps:
    1. In case of normal precipitation, the ROOFGUARD with FLECK connect functions as a conventional leaf screen. The transmitting module is permanently active.
    2. At a backed-up water level of  approx. 60 mm or higher  (e.g. due to heavy rainfall events) the ROOFGUARD mechanism is triggered.
    3. The movable buoyancy bodies then move upwards and open the roof drain suddenly. so that leafs or hail are flushed away unimpeded. As the same time as the ROOFGUARD is triggered, FLECK connect sends a status email.
    4. After the rainfall, the ROOFGUARD returns to its original position. FLECK connect sends further information to the user as soon as the screen element has lowered again at a low water level. In the event of persistent backed-up water > 30 minutes or if the battery voltage is low, a warning email is sent to the user. The owner, roofer or facility manager can then carry out an inspection or maintenance.

 

The integrated leaf screen of the ROOFGUARDs triggers automatically above a certain water level and keeps the drains clean.

AVAILABLE WITH FURTHER ACCESSORIES

To protect parapet drains or spouts from dangerous leaf accumulations and backed-up water, the ROOFGUARD can be fitted with an optional parapet extension.

A ROOFGUARD should be installed on a gravel or green roof with the optionally available gravel trap The add-on module prevents substrate and gravel from being washed into the ROOFGUARD, so that it also functions faultlessly on these roofs.
