1. Introduction
The Hydrosense ID is an addressable water leak detection and alarm control panel with 16 zonal LED indicators
and is available in models with either 1 or 2 detection loops. Each loop can support up to 127 loop-powered I/O
modules.
Any number of devices can be allocated to any zone ensuring that any system configuration can be easily
accommodated.
To ensure that the system is installed and commissioned with the minimum of trouble, it should be carefully
planned before the installation is begun.
This involves allocating an address to each device and allocating a message of up to 40 characters (including
spaces) to each address to assist in the location of the devices. Each sub-address can also be allocated a text
message so the actual location of the sensing element can bet determined, the panel supports up to 800 sub-
addresses.
Devices should then be grouped into zones in accordance with the equipment to be monitored / protected and
building plans.
The control panel can be configured using the switches on the front as described in the menu descriptions within
this manual or more comprehensively, using the Loop Explorer PC (LE2) configuration utility and download lead
(IDAP-LEAD) which is available as a separate item.
The Hydrosense ID control panel offers an extensive list of features and options for the control and monitoring
of plant, equipment and sounders, which can be configured via the Loop Explorer PC (LE2) configuration program
or the front panel controls. The Cause & Effect configuration enables comprehensive systems to be implemented.
A Water Leak Detection module for example, may have a main address of 123, input 1 sub-address 123.1 and
input 2 sub-address 123.2. (Three addresses from 800 available).
The sub-addresses can be treated as if they were individual addresses i.e. each can be allocated to any zone,
given an individual address message and be operated by different cause and effect tables.
Although unlikely to be exceeded, the maximum number of sub-addresses available should be taken into
consideration when designing systems that contain large numbers of I/O units.
Important: This control panel should be used only with compatible Hydrosense ID system components.

4.1 Installation
The installation of the panel should be carried out by qualified personnel only. The electronic components within
the panel are vulnerable to physical damage and damage by electrostatic discharges.
It is advisable to wear a wrist strap designed to prevent the build-up of static charges within the
body, before handling any electronic circuit boards.
Never insert or remove boards or components with the power on. To avoid this hazard a Mains
Isolator Switch should be installed.
Mounting the Cabinet
The site chosen for the location of the panel should be clean and dry and not subject to shock or vibration. The
temperature should be in the range -5° to +35° C, the humidity should not exceed 95%.
Open the outer cover using the key provided.
Unplug the power terminal block from the left
hand side of the circuit board, remove the two
screws holding the plate in position and then
remove the complete circuit board and plate.
Hold the assembly by gripping the metal plate
only and try to avoid touching the circuit
board.
Place the plate/circuit board assembly and
fixing screws in a safe location to prevent
accidental damage.
The outer cover can be removed to make
fitting more manageable by removing the two
pins holding it in position on the left hand side.
Remove knockouts from the top and or back of
the box in the positions at which cables will
enter.
When surface mounting use the box as a
template, mark the position of the top-fixing
hole, ensuring that the wall is flat at the chosen
location. The top fixing is a keyhole slot and
fitting a screw here and hanging the box first
will assist in marking the remaining fixing
points.
Screws or bolts of a minimum of 5 mm
diameter and 40 mm long must be used to
mount the enclosure in all three mounting
positions.
After the box is firmly fixed, remove any
knockout blanks and dust or swarf caused by
drilling and fixing the box.
See bezel installation instructions if Semi or
Deep recess mounting.

5. Cabling
It is advisable to fit cable glands and cables before re-fitting the outer cover and plate/circuit board assembly.
Cables should be brought into the cabinet using the knockouts provided and where necessary, using couplers to
maximise the space within the enclosure. Use the knockouts closest to the terminating position for each cable, to
ensure cable length within the enclosure is kept to a minimum.
Ensure that only the numbers of knockouts are removed to meet the cable termination requirements, as any
additional apertures in the enclosure will compromise the IP30 ingress protection requirements.
Brass inlet bushings or cable glands should be used to maintain insulation and to ensure EMC compliance.
The screen or drain wires should be bonded to earth via metal cable glands.
The maximum size of cable, which can be terminated, is 2.52mm.
The communications protocols are highly immune to noise but sensible segregation from known noise generating
sources such as mains cables is recommended.
Detection loop circuit cable size and type is dependent on the number and type of devices used and should be
calculated for each installation.
Cabling for sounder circuits should be sized according to sounder load and cable length but 1.5mm2should suffice
in the majority of cases.
The control panel requires a 230 VAC supply, which should be derived from a separate fused mains isolator
switch, labelled “Water Leak Alarm - Isolator”.
The mains supply must include an earth conductor connected to the fixed installation earthing system of the
building.
This equipment relies on the building installation for protection and requires a 5 Amp protection device. The
mains supply should use cable with a minimum cross section of 1.5 mm2.
5.1. Cable Termination
Drain wires need to be terminated at the brass cable gland to ensure EMC compliance.
To ensure good earth bonding at entry to the panel enclosure, it is recommended that the cable drain wires are
terminated using Pirelli AXT brass cable glands. These glands have a slotted fixing thread, which allows the drain
wire to be clamped between the gland fixing nut and panel enclosure. To ensure that a good earth bonding
between the drain wire and panel case, a 20 mm shakeproof washer should be used, as shown in the termination
diagram below.

6. Connecting to the Panel
All panel terminal block connections support cable with a maximum cross section capacity of 2.5 mm2capacity.
Care should be taken to use the correct sized terminal screwdriver and not to over tighten the screws.
If stranded cables are used then care should be taken to ensure that all strands are contained in the terminal
block and that there are not any loose strands that may cause short circuits to other terminals or cables.
The mains connection should enter the enclosure via a knockout as near to the mains terminal block as possible
and should be segregated from all other wiring. Mains connection cables should be kept short and be secured
together with a cable tie near the mains terminal block to minimise the danger of them shorting to other parts of
the equipment if they become disconnected.
The mains terminal block contains a F1.6A L250V fuse and must be replaced only with a fuse of the same type.
The diagram below shows the recommended cable routing for connections to the panel. The diagram shows the
rear cable entry points used. If top cable entry points are used then a similar arrangement should be employed.
To avoid the possibility of a confusing array of fault conditions, it is best to connect the system gradually so that
faults can be cleared on one circuit before connecting another.
Polarity must be observed carefully on any terminals with + or - markings and end of line devices must be fitted
to all circuits which connect to terminals that have had the supplied, end of line devices removed.
All wiring should be checked carefully before applying power to the control panel.
Do not connect or disconnect wiring with the power on.

7. Front Panel Controls
The front panel contains controls for operating and programming the panel.
The “Lamp Test” and “Silence Buzzer” buttons can be operated at any time. (Access Level 1)
The “More Leak Events” and “More Events” buttons can be operated at any time when there are more events
than can be displayed on the screen. (Access Level 1).
The menu navigation buttons (1, 2, 3 and 4) can be used to enter the password to Access Level 2 (2222), which
then enables the “Silence Alarm (Acknowledge)”, “Re-sound Alarm”, “Reset”, ”Sound Alarms” and “Function”
button. This also gives the user access to the Access Level 2 menu facilities such as “Disabling” and testing parts
of the system.
Access Level 2 can also be entered by operation of the “Enable Control” keyswitch.
The internal panel buzzer will “beep” whenever a button is pressed.
The help “?” button offers additional information relating to the current status of the control panel. For example,
if the panel is in an Alarm or Fault condition then advice on the recommended action will be displayed when the
”?” button is pressed or if a menu function is being accessed then help relating to that function will be displayed
when the “?” button is pressed.
With the lid of the control panel open, Access Level 3 controls are revealed. These controls are strictly for service
personnel and should not be operated by the user under any circumstances. Opening the front cover also gives
access to the “PC” Connection Port for programming.
If the processor stops running or re-boots for any reason, the watchdog indicator “W/Dog Operated” will
illuminate as a record of this event, this indicator can only be reset by operating the “W/dog Reset” switch.
It is necessary under some circumstances (after a firmware upgrade for instance) to re-start the processors in
the panel. A reset switch is provided for this purpose labelled “Reset”.
A display “Contrast” adjust control is provided which can be adjusted to suit the lighting conditions or position of
the installed panel. This is a rotary control and can be adjusted with a small terminal screwdriver.
In order to change the configuration of the control panel, the configuration memory must be enabled. This is
done by switching the “Write Enable” slide switch from its normal, right hand position, to the left as indicated by
the arrow beneath it.
A warning is displayed on the LCD when the “Write Enable” switch is in the enabled position to prevent it from
being inadvertently being left in this position. This warning can be reset after the switch has been returned to its
normal position by pressing the front panel “Reset” button. If not reset, the warning will time out a short while
after the “Write Enable” switch is returned to the right hand position.
All of the Access Level 3 controls are recessed to avoid accidental operation but all can be accessed using a small,
terminal screwdriver or similar tool.
