Assembly, Installation and Commissioning
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to incorrect procedures.
•Only authorized and qualified personnel may do
any of the assembly, disassembly, installation
and commissioning work.
•Pay attention to the type of installation (e. g.
double floor; piping).
•Use suitable tools.
Assembly/Disassembly
All other work, including cleaning, should be fin-
ished before the sensor cable is laid,
•to prevent damage being done to the sensor
cable by other tradespeople
Points to observe when laying the sensor cable:
• The supporting surface must be dry, free of dirt
and to a large extent free of dust.
• The sensor cable must be attached in the re-
quired areas (e.g. double floor) by means of
self-adhesive fixing tapes.
• The sensor cable should be fastened to the floor
at intervals not exceeding 1 m.
• The sensor cable must not be pulled over sharp
edges. The sensor cable must not be squashed
against metal parts because the evaluation cir-
cuitry monitors the cable´s electrical resistance.
• It is not permissible to lay the sensor cable out-
doors in rain or in snow or in a wet environment
because a wet sensor cable cannot be put into
operation.
• Care must be taken to ensure that the sensor
cable does not become wet from dripping con-
densate from pipes or cooling units.
• If running through a wall or through other con-
fining structures, a non-detecting connection
cable or a protective conduit ortube must be
used.
• Warning signs (Caution: Sensitive sensor cable)
should be axed at points where the sensor
cable could become damaged.
• The sensor cable must lie on the surface to be
monitored but it is permissible to run it over ob-
stacles such as e.g. cable trays directly on top of
the surface if leakage monitoring can be contin-
ued immediately afterwards).
The installed sensor cable length (in particular
where there are partial lengths with T branches)
must be added into the installation plan.

Installation (see Test Report)
Before installing, check the sensor cable’s insula-
tion level. During and at the end of assembly the
sensor cable must be tested for insulation resist-
ance before the system is put into operation. It is
essential to enter the measurement readings into
the report.
NOTICE
i
Warranty claims are subject to the submission of a
correctly and completely filled-in test report. Date
and signature are also required.
Commissioning
The SCR sensor cable is connected to the RDA 01,
RDW 03, RLAnet or RLW monitoring electronics
either directly or by means of a connection cable.
For the relevant details, please refer to the operat-
ing instructions for the respective electronic mon-
itoring unit.
Before putting into operation for the first time,
check if:
• the device has been installed correctly
• the device is not damaged
• the connection has been established correctly
(check that the wires are secure)
Note
Water leaks are detected quickly depending on the
quantity and the conductivity of the leaking fluid.
The SCR sensor cable has the shortest reaction
time when completely covered (approx. 5 mm) at
least at some points. Conductive materials which
are not to be detected must be kept away from the
sensor by constructional measures (e.g. rain water,
splash water, condensate etc.). Commissioning
and the tests to determine correct functioning for
the intended purpose are recorded in the accept-
ance report.
NOTICE
i
All warranty claims are subject to the submission
of a correctly and completely filled-in acceptance
report. Date and signature are also required.
Transport and storage
Damage to the device through incorrect transport
or incorrect storage.
• Transport and storage are permitted only in orig-
inal packaging.
Operating Instructions SCR Sensor cable, Type 17-85M1-1761
Maintenance and fault clearance Water
leakage detection system
NOTICE
i
Loss of function due to incorrect procedures.
• Only authorised and qualified personnel may do
any of the maintenance and fault clearance
work.
• Directive 2014/35/EU must be complied with.
The owner/managing operator of the device must
keep it in good condition, operate it correctly, mon-
itor it and clean it regularly. The SCR sensor cable
itself is maintenance-free.
• It must be ensured that the SCR sensor cable
is kept clean and free of grease by cleaning it at
suitable intervals of time, adjusted to the expect-
ed degree of dirt or accumulation of dust. This is
assured by cleaning with spirit or with a house-
hold detergent which contains a grease solvent.
• Plug-in connections required for installation
must be laid with protection against moisture.
Where surfaces are monitored, spacers provid-
ed by the customer for this purpose must be in-
serted between the surface and the floor.
As a basic principle, it is not necessary to peri-
odically inspect the monitoring electronics because
the electronics is self-monitoring.
NOTICE
i
BARTEC recommends inspecting the system at
least once a year. The countermeasures introduced
when a leak is reported must be adapted in terms
of prioritisation and the speed of reaction to the
damage which is to be averted. The owner/man-
aging operator must obtain clarification about the
respective insurance requirements (building insur-
ance, liability insurance,…), such as e.g. testing
intervals, scope of testing, and training of the op-
erating personnel.
Fault clearance
WARNING!
Serious accidents due to the use of non-original
spare parts.
• Use original parts only as replacements.
Defective SCR sensor cables can be repaired. Cut
out the faulty length and insert the same length of
SCR with a plug and socket. Work must be done in
conformance to these Operating Instructions.
