Water Leak Detection System
TRACETEK
TT1000
Water Leak Detector
The TT1000 water leak detection cables (a.k.a. sensing cables) detect the presence of water at any point along their length. Installed with a TraceTek alarm and locating module, the water sensing cable detects water intrusion, triggers an alarm, and pinpoints the location. The cable is available in a variety of lengths to provide as much coverage as needed.
TT1000 leak detection cable is supplied with factory-installed plastic connectors that plug together. The cable is designed for a range of applications, including data center subfloors, telecommunications rooms, HVAC equipment locations, pipes, electrical vaults, storage areas, tanks, and roofs. The cable is small, lightweight, and flexible, allowing easy installation. The smooth design allows for quick drying.
TT1100-OHP
Water Sensing Cable for Suspended Pipe
Water Leak Detector
The TT1100-OHP sensor cable detects water leaks at any point along the cable length. When used in conjunction with TraceTek monitoring instruments, the cable senses the presence of a water leak, triggers an alarm and pinpoints the location of the leak to within ±1-meter accuracy.
TT1100-OHP is supplied with an absorptive synthetic fiber braid designed to wick water along the cable even when the water leak is dripping from a single small pin hole or crack. The fiber is selected to be rapid drying so that once the leak is located and repaired, the cable will quickly dry and be ready for re-use, in many cases as soon as the pipe repairs are completed.
TT-FLAT PROBE
Water Leak Detector
The TT-FLAT PROBE is intended to detect water accumulating in drip pans or in other applications where damp conditions are acceptable but “floods” need to be detected. It is a special purpose probe designed to detect water leaks in specific locations. It is intended to be floor or tray mounted, using either screw or adhesive attachment. The unit has an orange color to promote visibility in the installed location.
The TT-FLAT PROBE can detect water leaks in low spots, drip trays or sumps, where nVent RAYCHEM TraceTek sensing cables are inappropriate. The TT-FLAT PROBE is designed to be integrated as a part of a larger nVent RAYCHEM TraceTek leak detection system.
The water leak detection system design is very flexible with the TT FLAT PROBE and leak detection cable.
TTSIM-1
Leak Detection Module
The TTSIM-1 is a sensor interface module capable of monitoring up to 1500 meters (5000 feet) of TraceTek sensing cable. When liquid is detected, the TTSIM-1 locates the leak and communicates the leak details to the host of monitoring system. The TTSIM-1 can communicate to a variety host monitoring system including a TraceTek TTDM128, a PLC, DCS or Building Management System using standard protocols. No field calibration is required.
The TTSIM-1 is well suited to applications where large areas are being monitored, or long sensor circuit lengths are required. Since it incorporates multiple sensor monitoring algorithms, the TTSIM-1 is capable of performing several specialized leak detection measurements. These algorithms make TTSIM-1 especially well-suited to monitoring long circuits of TraceTek hydrocarbon sensing cables that are installed in demanding applications.
TTSIM-1A
Leak Detection Module
The TTSIM-1A is a primary sensor interface module with the capacity to monitor up to 150 m (500ft) of sensor cable. The output is via relay contacts and serial data. When liquid is detected, the TTSIM-1A unit indicates the leak with an LED, and switches a relay to provide local voltage-free contact closure. The TTSIM-1A can also communicate to a host monitoring system such as a TraceTek TTDM-128 or directly to a PLC or other host system using standard protocols. The low cost of the TTSIM-1A makes it economical to build very robust systems with many small independent sensing cable segments. No field calibration is required.
TTSIM-2
Leak Detection Module
The TTSIM-2 sensor interface module monitors up to 150 meters (500 feet) of TraceTek sensing cable. When liquid is detected, the TTSIM-2 unit indicates the leak, displays the location of the leak and switches a relay to provide local voltage-free contact closure. The TTSIM-2 can also communicate to a host monitoring system such as TraceTek TTDM-128 or directly to a PLC or other host system using standard protocols. The low cost of the TTSIM-2 makes it economical to build very robust systems with many small independent sensing cable segments. No field calibration is required.
TTDM-128
Leak Detection Module
The TTDM-128 is the primary user alarm panel and system control unit for networked Tracetek systems. TTDM-128 module directly monitors up to 1500 m (5000 ft) of sensor cable and a network of up to 128 remote Tracetek modules. The remote modules may be a combination of sensor interface modules (TTSIM), relay modules (TT-NRM) or additional TTDM-128 modules. With its networking capability, the TTDM-128 provides tremendous flexibility in terms of system layout options and monitoring capability.
When liquid is detected on any of the sensors, the TTDM-128 sounds an alarm, closes relay contacts, turns on a front panel LED and displays the circuit identification and location of the leak on the alphanumeric display. The leak detection event is logged to a non-volatile event history file. All status and event information are made available via the front panel keyboard or RS232/RS485 Modbus digital communication to a host computer, PLC or plant/building automation system.
