DO’s
Do follow the installation instructions provided with
the water leak detection system.
Do clean the floor and adjacent area throughly.
Do use the floor clips provided.
Do ensure that the sensor tape remains clean and
free from dust and debris following the completion
of the installation.
Do check that all the connections are sound and
the polarity of the connections are correct.
DON’T’s
Don’t fix the sensor tape to any conductive surface
such as a steel floor or copper pipe.
Don’t fix the sensor tape to any type of conductive
supporting structure such as pedestal support legs
under floors.
Don’t run the sensor tape or connection cable
adjacent to a mains supply cable or other type of
cable that could cause electrical/signal interference.
Don’t coil the tape up on it’s self under any
circumstances.
Don’t bend the sensor tape excessively, try to use
gentle curves.
Don’t use adhesive tapes, sealants or solutions to fix
the sensor tape down.
Don’t install in front of any type of louvre or grill that
is exposed to the outside. Don’t install under outlets
from A/C units.
Don’t tie wrap the sensor tape too tightly or directly
to pipes or lagging.
Don’t seal the sensor tape under floors or behind
walls, always leave points of access.
DO NOT PULL ON THE TAPE OR CONNECTION
CABLE WHEN INSTALLING.
SENSOR TAPE INSTALLATION GUIDE
NOTE:
As with any type of alarm panel using electronic
components, installation must never be adjacent to a
device with a high inductive current. Equipment such as
water heaters and pumps could effect the operation of the
alarm panel by causing interference on the electronics
used. In addition to this, the supply to the alarm panel
should be separate to the supply to other equipment in
order to avoid voltage spikes and volt drop caused by
high in-rush currents. These can also cause interference
on the electronics used in the alarm panel and may result
in false triggering.
Trouble Shooting Guide
System shows a leak detected, but no
water leak is present:
ŸIs the sensor tape/probe used touching anything conductive.
ŸIs the sensor tape being used coiled up with the conductor making contact with
itself.
ŸIs the combined tape and connection cable length more than 100m.
ŸIs there any contamination or debris on the cable/probe.
ŸCheck the Do’s and Don’ts page.
System shows no power: ŸIs there an appropriate supply to the panel.
ŸIs the wiring to the panel sound and secure.
ŸIs the L/N/E connected to the correct terminals.
ŸCheck the fuses.
