3 Installation
Once the leader cable is plugged into the terminal block, it is ready to be connected to the SC
cable. To do this, unscrew the EOL terminator from the end of the leader cable. Attach the first
length of the SC cable to the leader cable. Route the SC cable according to a cable layout
diagram, if provided. Lay the cable according to the cable installation guidelines on pages 9-
10. Secure the EOL terminator on the unoccupied end of the last section of SC cable.
Figure 3.1 Water Leak Detection Cable (SC)
3.2.1 Securing Cable to the Floor
Secure the SC cable to the floor with either J-clips (Part #JC) or one of the other approved
methods shown in Figure 3.2. Available from RLE and designed specifically for use with the
SC cable, J-clips are the manufacturer's recommended installation method and can be installed
as follows:
 Place one J-clip every 3 feet (.914m) along the length of the SC cable and one at each turn
of the cable.
 If the cable is installed over an obstruction, clip the cable on both sides, as close to the
obstruction as possible.
Do not install the cable directly in front of an air conditioner. Allow a minimum of 6
feet (1.83m) between the unit and the cable. If the cable is too close to the air
conditioning unit's air stream, the moisture from the humidifier may cause false
leak readings. If the cable must be installed in front of an air conditioning unit,
place the J-clips 3 feet (0.914m) apart.
Note It is important to finish the end of the SeaHawk Water Leak Detection Cable (SC) with the end
terminator (EOL). If the EOL terminator is not present, a cable fault will register. Note any
variances between the cable layout diagram and the actual cable installation.
