2 Installation and Configuration
2.6.2 Secure Sensing Cable to the Floor
Secure the sensing cable to the floor with either J-clips (RLE part #JC), or one of the other
approved methods shown in Figure 2.17 . Available from RLE and designed specifically for
use with sensing cable, J-clips are the manufacturer's recommended installation method.
♦ To avoid contaminating the cable, clean the entire floor as much as possible. Use isopropyl
alcohol to clean the spots on the floor where J-clips will be placed.
♦ Place one J-clip every 5 to 6 feet (1.52 to 1.83m) along the length of the sensing cable and
one at each turn of the cable. Use more J-clips if a tighter configuration is required.
♦ If the cable is installed over an obstruction, clip the cable on both sides, as close to the
obstruction as possible.
♦ The J-clip’s adhesive backing does not work well on porous concrete floors. RLE
recommends using a drop of silicone or another nonconductive adhesive to help secure the
J-clip to the floor.
IMPORTANT Do not install the cable directly in front of an air conditioner. Allow a minimum of 4 to 6 feet
(1.22 to 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 (0.91m) apart.
