Abstract
A method of monitoring at least one leak detection sensor, the method including the steps of: determining via a communication hub a first state of a sensor comprising a first condition when the sensor is dry and a second condition when the sensor is wet; determining via the communication hub a second state representing an operability of the sensor; communicating via the communication hub each of the states of the sensor to a Graphical User Interface (GUI); and displaying, via the GUI, a representation of the first and second states of the sensor.

A method of monitoring at least one leak detection sensor, the method comprising the steps of:
- determining via a communication hub a first state of a sensor comprising a first condition when the sensor is dry and a second condition when the sensor is wet;
- determining via the communication hub a second state representing an operability of the sensor;
- communicating via the communication hub each of the first and second states of the sensor to a Graphical User Interface (GUI);
- and
- displaying, via the GUI, a representation of the first and second states of the sensor.
A leak detection system comprising:
- a sensor having a first state comprising a first condition when the sensor is dry and a second condition when the sensor is wet, and a second state representing an operability of the sensor;
- a communication device operatively connected to the sensor;
- and
- an attachment element adapted to attach the leak detection system to a fluid component for monitoring fluid leakage, wherein the communication device is adapted to receive the first state from the sensor via a wireless protocol, wherein the communication device is adapted to communicate the first and second states of the sensor to a Graphical User Interface (GUI).
