| General | Product Type | Multi-Zone Water Leak Detection Sensor Cable (V2) |
| Purpose | Detects the presence of water and conductive liquids at any point along its entire length, segmenting a continuous run into up to eight independently reporting leak detection zones |
| Multi-Zone Capability | Allows up to eight separately reporting leak detection zones from a single cable, providing precise localization within larger areas |
| Improvements (over V1) | Complies with more stringent fire, smoke, and halogen tests, enhancing safety performance |
| Applications | Ideal for sensitive environments including: below raised floors, above suspended ceilings, inside drip trays, around the base of plant/apparatus/tanks, laid in loops/wave patterns for general monitoring of larger areas, attached to pipework within lagging |
| Detection Principle | Activates with any conductive liquid anywhere along the entire length of the detection cable |
| Resettability | Can be wetted and dried any number of times; if contamination is soluble, the cable can be removed, washed (clean water only), dried, and returned to use |
| Benefits | Precise leak localization across multiple zones, reduces cabling complexity, tough, flexible, lightweight, quick drying, reusable, enhanced fire safety compliance, easy to install |
| Warranty | 10-year warranty (when subscribed to the Andel Service and Maintenance Plan) |
| Cable Construction | Material | Tough, all-polymeric, low smoke and fume, zero-halogen construction |
| Cores | Internal conductive elements within the robust polymeric jacket |
| Sensitivity | High-sensitivity for immediate detection of conductive liquids |
| Physical Characteristics | Diameter | Approximately 5mm nominal |
| Lengths | Available in a variety of pre-determined or bespoke lengths, typically between 5 metres and 15 metres per multi-zone segment (the entire cable run can be longer, segmented into 8 zones) |
| Zone Definition | Method | Zone changeover points along the cable are defined by either traditional Floodline® 8-zone junction boxes or Andel's Plug & Play Auto-Connect system |
| Zone Length | Zones can be any length, but typical lengths are between 5 and 15 meters for optimal performance and localization |
| Installation | Method | Cable is laid loosely; can be fixed to floor or other surfaces using standard 6mm tower clips, self-adhesive clips, or tie-wraps |
| Identification | Special Caution Tags are typically attached at regular intervals to identify zone boundaries |
| Compatibility | Control Panels | Connects to any Floodline® zonal control panel (e.g., Multi-Zone, HLD, etc.) |
| Compliance | Standards Met | CPR (Construction Products Regulation) Testing |
| Fire Performance | Tested under harmonized European standard EN 50575 for heat release, smoke production, and flame spread |
| Specific Fire Tests | In accordance with EN 50399:2011+A1:2016 and EN 60332-1-2:2004+A11:2016 |
| Euroclass Classification | Classified as Euroclass Dca-s2,d0 (Standard sensitivity version) or Euroclass Eca (High Sensitivity version, for even smaller amounts of water/condensation) |
