The unique construction of Floodline® 1-Zone water sensitive cable has two cores twisted around a central former, covered with a mesh outer braid. 1-Zone water leak detection cable provides a solution for highly sensitive applications, particularly for cable tied directly to the underside of pipework.
The start and end points of the cable are provided by either traditional Floodline® junction boxes or Floodline® Plug And Play system. The zones can be any length – the typical length is between 5 and 15metres.
The sensor can be wetted and dried any number of times provided the cable is not contaminated with a substance that permanently changes its electrical characteristics. If the contamination is soluble then the cable can be removed, washed (clean water only), dried and returned to use subject to the level of contamination.
Standards tested and met: CPR (Construction Products Regulation) Testing
Under the harmonised European standard EN 50575 this cable has been tested for heat release, smoke production and flame spread in accordance with EN 60332-1-2:2004+A11:2016.
