AquiWave™
Wireless Leak Detection System
A. GENERAL INFORMATION
Based on the same ultra-reliable technology used for radio re alarm systems since 1987. The
AquiWave wireless leak detection system has been designed to be capable of handling 240
devices. Typical installations would include small oces, private houses, guesthouses and small
hotels and any location where traditional wired leak detection would be a problem to install.
This manual contains information to enable an engineer to install, service and operate the
AquiWave control panel and the range of AquiWave devices. This product should be installed,
commissioned and maintained by qualied service personnel in accordance with codes of
practice, statutory requirements and IEE regulations for electrical equipment in buildings. The
system has been designed to allow very simple set up, with a user friendly menu structure
and full-text capability. There is no need to connect devices with a programming lead, as
conguration is achieved by radio. Text locations can be entered on the panel itself or by
connecting a standard USB keyboard to the panel. Prior to installation, the building where the
system is to be installed must be surveyed to ensure that each device to be tted has a good
radio communication path to the control or booster panel. This is done with an AW-Survey Kit.
When installing devices, they must be positioned as per the survey. Installing a device even a
few inches from the surveyed position can aect the signal strength signicantly, especially if
any metalwork is contained in the ceiling above the new position (e.g. air-conditioning ducting).
IMPORTANT
Failure to perform an accurate survey could result in the system being unreliable. These errors
can be costly to correct
• Position the panel where it is to be installed.
• Ensure devices are surveyed for their exact positions. A few inches either side may
substantially aect the signal strength.
• In order to have an accurate survey the batteries in the survey detector should be changed at
least once a year.

Wireless Leak
Detection System
1.1 CONTROL PANEL
INSTALLATION
The electronic components within the panel
are vulnerable to electrostatic discharges. It
is advisable to wear a wrist strap designed to
prevent the build-up of static charges within
the body before handing any electronic
components. Do not remove or unplug any
components while the panel is powered up.
MOUNTING
The panel should be mounted on an internal
wall in a suitable position. If tted, the
antenna should be away from any solid
objects, especially electronic equipment and
metal structures. The wall should be even,
clean and dry and not prone to vibration.
Should the wall not be level, the panel
should be mounted on a wooden board. The
temperature should be in the range of -5oC
to +35oC and the humidity should not exceed
95%. Mount the panel using 3 x No. 10 screws
of a suitable length, and ensure washers
(supplied) are used to meet the IP30 rating.
The smaller washer (25mm diameter) is to be
used for the mounting hole next to the PSU.
CABLING
A 230V AC 50Hz supply capable of providing
500mA with a minimum diameter of 7mm
and a maximum diameter of 10.5mm should
be derived from a separate fused spur. This
spur should not incorporate a switch and
should be labelled ‘Leak Alarm Equipment –
Do Not Switch O’. A cable with a core cable
size no greater than 2.5mm2 should be
used. Always ensure that the mains supply
is completely isolated before working on any
mains rated components.
Cables should only enter the panel housing
through the knockouts provided. Do not
remove more knockouts than is needed
to terminate the cables, as additional
apertures in the panel will compromise the
ingress protection. A nylon M20 IP66 cable
gland should be used. The cable should be
connected to the terminal block as labelled
from above with the Live (brown) connected
to the top terminal, the Earth (green/yellow)
to the middle and the Neutral (blue) to the
bottom. Care should be taken to ensure no
loose strands protrude from the terminal
block and that the wire insulation is trimmed
to the correct length so that no exposed
wire is left visible. Any earth cables should
not be removed. Once the connection has
been made, the panel fuse (3.15A ceramic T
type) should be removed from the panel by
pulling on the fuse holder. The fused spur
can then be energised. To power up the
panel, insert the fuse holder with the correct
value of fuse tted. As there is a high inrush
current there is likely to be a spark produced.
This is normal. Mains power should always
be applied prior to connecting the standby
battery. Once the mains supply has been
applied, the green LED on the bottom edge
of the processor board should begin to ash
once a second. The system normal screen
will be displayed. Connections to the panel
inputs should be made using 2 core cable
with a core diameter of 1.0mm2. A nylon M20
IP66 cable gland should be used. A suitable
core diameter should be used depending on
the loading of the circuit. The Panel has been
type approved to IP rating IP30.
BATTERY
An AT-BU (part no: 3485) battery should
be tted. This will give a 72 hour standby,
assuming no external equipment (e.g.
wired antennas) has been added. Connect
the battery using the supplied terminal
connections. The red wire is +12V and the
black wire is 0V. Do not confuse the colour of
the terminal connectors. Once connected, the
Reset button on the keypad can be pressed. If
‘Battery Fault’ appears; check the connections
and polarity. If the battery is connected

incorrectly it is likely that the fuse will blow.
The wiring should be corrected and the fuse
The PSU will only charge batteries measuring
10.5V and above. Batteries measuring less
than 10.5V are regarded by the system as
faulty and will not be charged. A ‘Battery
Fault’ will be displayed on screen. If the
battery voltage is below 10.5V it will need to
be removed from the panel to be charged
and reconditioned, or replaced. The battery
voltage can be viewed on the PSU Info section
of the 5.5 – Panel Info menu. When replacing
the battery always do so with a product
of equal specication. Always dispose of
batteries responsibly. Never dispose of
batteries in general waste. If unsure contact
your local authority for guidance.
ANTENNA (IF FITTED)
The standard helical stub antenna (part
no: 6775) supplied with the panel should
be tted to the antenna bracket assembly
before it is mounted into the panel. Fit the
antenna onto the SMA connector as shown
below. This should be screwed hand tight.
Over tightening will cause the antenna to
break. The supplied antenna retaining washer
should then be placed over the top of the
antenna. The antenna and bracket assembly
should then be inserted through the antenna
aperture and mounted using the supplied M3
screw and an M3 serrated locking washer.
Once mounted, the antenna retaining washer
prevents the stub antenna being unscrewed
from outside the panel. Connect the antenna
assembly to the main processor board using
the SMA connector. If a high gain remote
antenna is being used, the stub antenna and
the antenna bracket assembly should be
removed. The new antenna should be tted
using a 50Ω SMA connector, suitable for use
with RG58 c/u coaxial cable, to the processor
board. When making o the cable, ensure
that no stray shielding wires are shorting.
Do not use non-radio connectors as they will
reduce the performance of the panel.
MONITORED INPUTS
The panel features two monitored inputs
that can be programmed either as latching
or non-latching. It is important to note that
before using these inputs they must be
enabled by programming them in the panel
options menu. If the inputs are enabled then
4K7Ω end of line resistors must be tted at
the termination. Applying a 470Ω resistor
across the inputs will produce a ‘LEAK’
message. The inputs are labelled ‘INPUTS’ and
‘No1’ and ‘No2’. These inputs can be assigned
a zone and text location, and then cause and
eects can be programmed for them. See
5.12 – Input Options for further information.

PCB LAYOUT
RS-485 CONNECTIONS
The RS485 connectors are used for wiring
hardware to the panel such as extra antennas
or a secondary display. A suitable data cable
should be used with 2 sets of twisted pairs.
Cat 5/5e/6 can be used but is not re rated.
Wired antennas and displays have two RS485
connectors, making it possible to make a
chain of up to 4 units. On the last unit in any
chain, a 100R resistor should be tted across
the D- and D+ terminals of the unused RS485
connection. If one of the control/booster
panel RS485 ports is unused then a 100R
should be tted between D- and D+. If none
of the panel RS485 ports are used then there
is no need to t the 100R resistor. The RS485
ports are capable of supplying 500mA at 15V.
PANEL RELAYS
The panel is equipped with four
programmable relays, each capable of
supplying 500mA. The total current draw
across all four relays must not exceed 1A. The
default relay types are:
Relay 1: Fault Relay - This activates on a fault
alarm condition. The default setting is Type
2 volt free fault relay. If set to type 3 or 5 the
relay can be used to power accessories (i.e.
Beacon or sounder). It switches 12V onto the
output and is monitored for short and open
circuit, with a 4K7Ω EOL. In this situation the
circuit should be connected between the C
and the NO terminals. The fuse should be
tted and the links put in the lower position.
Relay 2: Fault Failsafe Relay - This
energises on power-up and de-energises in
fault. Consequently the normally open and
normally closed terminals are reversed. The
fuse should be removed and the links tted
in the upper position as shown on the PCB
layout diagram.

DISPLAY CABLE
A ribbon cable connects the two panel boards
together. It should be connected to the
system link/bus connections on the boards.
Do not remove or connect the ribbon cable
while the panel is powered up, as damage
can occur to the processor board.
BUZZER LINK
The buzzer can be disabled by removing the
buzzer link (see page 8 – PCB Layout).
MEMORY CARD
The memory card stores a complete set of
the system settings including device/zone
text and options. The memory card should
be tted at all times unless instructed by the
panel (i.e. when adding a repeater panel).
USB SOCKET
The USB socket can be used for connecting
a keyboard to program device text. It is also
used to plug in a memory stick to download
the event log, device info and the verify table
so a hardcopy can be retained for records.
1.2 TRANSMITTER (AQW-RTX) INSTALLATION

supplying 500mA at 12V. Both the sounder
circuit fuses should be tted in the fuse
holders and the links tted in the left or
lower positions as shown on the PCB layout
diagram. The circuit should be connected
between the S+ and the S- terminals. A
4K7Ω end of line resistor should be tted
to monitor the circuit. The relays can be
congured as accessory circuits, sounder
circuits, monitored outputs or volt free
clean contact relays. The relay type can
be changed in 5.7 – User Options and by
positioning the jumper links and fuses as
detailed below. When relays are congured
as ‘Volt Free’ accessory or as sounder circuits,
the associated terminal pin (V+) must not be
used.

When xing the AQW-RTX care must be
taken choosing its location. Consideration
must be given to its physical and potential
environmental surroundings. The transmitter
itself is not IP rated and must not be
positioned in an area that will get wet if a leak
occurs. It is recommended a leader cable be
run from the transmitter to the leak sensor,
positioned in the potentially wet area. If the
tamper feature is to be used, the transmitter
must be rmly xed back to an even surface.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is important to locate
the transmitter in the position indicated
during the site suitability survey. Even
moving a small distance could potentially
aect its performance. If the AQW-RTX is
relocated, its radio connection to the system
in its new position must be veried as
suitable. If a descriptive location reference
has been added to the main control panel
programming, this should also be altered
accordingly.
Prior to xing a small 5.5mm hole should be
drilled into the bottom left corner of the back
box for leader cable entry.

The two core leader cable should be
terminated into the sensor cable terminals.
Only connect one leader cable/sensor to each
AQW-RTX.
Once the back box is in place and sensor
connected follow the instructions in
section 5.26 to add the device to the
system.
The AQW-RTX has anti-tamper and sensor
fault monitoring. Both removing the sensor
and/or the box will register as a fault on the
control panel.
The ant-tamper can monitor both device
removed and device open. Both are achieved
by using the spring loaded button positioned
on the back box.
NOTE : By default this is set for device
open only. For Device removal the
retaining clips must be removed to allow
the button to protrude from the rear of
the box. In this case the box must be xed
to a at surface to prevent a removal fault
showing on the control panel.

There may be times when the sounders have
been mistakenly silenced – for example if the
alarm was genuine but someone pressed
silence. The Re-Sound Alarm button followed
by a valid access code will activate the
sounders again.
3.8 RESET THE ALARM
Assuming the reason for the alarm condition
has been investigated; pressing Reset after
silencing the alarm will return the system
to its normal operation screen and reset
the devices that prompted the alarm. The
system silence and reset function can be
protected by an access code by turning on
‘Code Protect’; see 5.8 – System Options.
If code protect is enabled the user will be
prompted to enter a valid access code using
the navigation keys before being able to reset
the system.
If a device has remained in alarm (i.e. the leak
has not been cleared/dried, or fault rectied)
after silencing the alarm and pressing Reset,
the panel will redisplay the alarm and go back
into an ‘alarm state’.
