iv. When Maintenance is due the following screen will be displayed:-
v. The ‘Spanner’ will pulse and a ‘Bleep’ sound will be heard.
Telephone the number displayed for Service.
2. Cable Care
The Detecting Cable is one of the most important parts of the
system. For the system to work, water must be able to penetrate the
Cables. The following list of substances (although not exhaustive) will
have a detrimental effect on the cables & will cause un-reliable readings.
Fizzy Soda, (coca-cola etc) Coffee, Tea & Chocolate Drinks,
Chemical Cleaning Agents both Wet or Dry, Photocopier, Printer
Toners, Mastics & Sealants, Plumbing, Heating & A.C. lubricants,
Glycol, Builders Rubble & Dust.
All the above substances will cause an ’Alarm’ state. If allowed to dry
without attendance a Trace Path (contamination) may occur & the ‘Alarm’
state will not be able to be cleared or the system reset. Contamination may
also cause un-reliable alarm readings. Contaminated cable should be
removed, cleaned & allowed to dry before replacing back into service. If
after cleaning the cable the system will not reset, the cable must be
replaced. Damaged cable should always be replaced.
# NOTE – Following a Water Leak, the Detecting Cable should
be dried using a Clean Dry cloth. If the Detecting Cable is left to dry of
its own accord, ensure that an adequate air flow is available to dry it.
This could take up to 24 hours (depending on the air flow available,
temperature & extent of the water leak).
