Installation of Leak Detection System Cable
1. Attach the leak detection cable to the LT460 module.
2. Activate module and test detection cable. (Touch detection cable
with a clean moist cloth or paper towel.) Dry detection cable to
remove the alarm condition. (A hair dryer can be used to speed up
the drying.)
Note: Do not try to saturate the detection cable for testing! It only
requires a small amount of water to alarm. The detection cable will
have to dry for the alarm condition to clear.
3. Once the cable passes the test, lay it in the pattern desired.
DETECTION CABLE PLACEMENT PRECAUTIONS
• Do not use detection cable that is damaged or dirty—for
example, from plaster, spackle or construction debris.
• Detection cable should not be dragged through contaminants
(dirty or greasy areas). Floor must be clean for the detection
cable to function properly and for the hold-down clips to
adhere to the floor surface.
• Careful consideration should be taken to place detection cable
out of the direct discharge airflow path of environmental
equipment. This type of equipment can discharge moisture
into the airflow. Place cable six feet from discharge to avoid
nuisance alarms during humidification.
• Tools or heavy objects can do permanent damage when
dropped, rolled, or set on the detection cable. Avoid foot traffic
on the detection cable as well.
• Do not use any type of adhesive tapes to secure the detection
cable.
• Do not allow soldering or welding near the detection cable
without providing protection from heat or contaminants. (Also
avoid installing the detection cable in or near these type of
areas.)
• Mild dishwashing liquid can be used to clean the detection
cable of many contaminants.
