Etc…etc…. etc..
The first part of the above tables shows the connections for a “string” of 4 zones. Further “strings”
continue with the next available terminals. “Strings” do not have to be of 4 zones – they can be 3, 2 or
even 1.
Returning Sensor To Use
The detection cable can be wetted and dried any number of times as long as it does not become
contaminated with a substance, which irrevocably changes its electrical characteristics. An example may
be vending machine syrup, chemical floor treatments, paint etc. The detection cable will dry out
naturally and the effected part of the cable must be completely dry before the zone can be reset. This
may take 20 minutes to 2 hours or more depending on the environmental conditions and the length of
cable wetted but increased air circulation and warmth will speed up dying time. If a length of cable
seems to take an excessive time to dry out water may be trapped in the retaining clips and these should
be eased to expose the wet area to the air.
The detection cable may be damaged if it is completely immersed for long periods. In the event of this,
or any other damage only the affected section of cable (either all or part of a zone) need be replaced
with a new length of detection cable, which can be easily jointed in.
Multi -8-Zone Detection (Sensing) Cable
Introduction
The multi-8-zone detection cable is the least sensitive of all the Floodline tape/cable detection sensors.
It senses water anywhere along its entire length and one continuous length of cable can be divided into
8 separately reporting zones using special Floodline 8 Zone Junction Boxes. Typical applications include:
• In voids below raised floors.
• Above Suspended Ceilings
• Run in drip trays.
• Laid around the base of plant, apparatus or tank.
• Laid in loops or wave pattern for general monitoring of larger areas.
• No minimum or maximum zone length.
