Control Panel not
Calculating Proper
Leak Distance
1
Check the distance on the cable run to verify that the control
panel is monitoring. Verify there is no water along the cable run.
Check to see if multiple leaks are present on the cable. The first
leak should be read and latched by the system; however, if the
system is updated or simultaneous leaks occur (2 or more) within
30 seconds of the initial leak, the system may display the
average distance (distance of the first leak + distance of the
second leak / 2). If no water is present, go to step 2.
2
Power down (shut off) the control panel and remove the end-of-
line terminator (EOL) from the end of the SC cable. Locate the
first section of SC cable from the LD5100 control panel. Where it
joins to the second section of cable, disconnect and install the
End-of-Line terminator at the end of the first section of SC cable.
Turn power back on at control panel. Once the control panel runs
for five to ten minutes, use a damp cloth, rag or paper towel and
place it on the end of the orange SC cable. If the leak is
calculated correctly, remove the end-of-line terminator;
reconnect the SC cable and move down to the next section of
cable. Repeat this process until a faulty reading is obtained. If
the reading is off at the first section of cable, there may be
miscalculations from the LD5100 unit, please contact RLE
Technologies for support.

To clear a contamination alarm, the cable must be removed and
cleaned. Usually the cable can be cleaned by pulling it through a
clean damp rag.
2
If the cable is contaminated by oil, Glycol or chemicals, the cable
can be washed. Use a mild detergent solution of 1 capful to 2
gallons lukewarm water (<105°F). Agitate the cable in a suitable
container, rinse with clear lukewarm water and wipe dry with a
clean towel. The cable may also be cleaned by wiping it down
with Isopropyl Alcohol.
3
Retest the cable by connecting it to the LD5100 before
reinstalling it under the floor.
