3 Installation
4 Route the sensing cable according to a cable layout diagram, if provided.
5 Secure the EOL terminator on the unoccupied end of the sensing cable.
Note It is important to finish the end of the SeaHawk Water Leak Detection Cable (sensing cable)
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.
3.2.1 Securing Cable to the Floor
Secure the sensing cable to the floor with either J-clips, or one of the other approved methods
shown in Figure 3.2. J-clips, available from RLE and designed specifically for use with
sensing cable, are the manufacturer's recommended installation method and can be installed as
follows:
♦ 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, place a J-clip on 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 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 12 to 18 inches (.305 to .457m) apart.
