Description
Floodline Ranger 2 sensing cables detect the presence of water at any point along their length. The cables are installed with a Floodline Ranger Leak Detection Panel, and when the cable senses water, it triggers an alarm and pinpoints the exact location.
The cable is small, lightweight and flexible, allowing for easy installation. 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.
Features and benefits:
- Cable senses water presence and can pinpoint the exact location.
- Provides distributed leak detection and location over a wide range of areas.
- Available in a variety of lengths to provide as much coverage as needed.
- Small, lightweight and flexible.
- Easy installation.
- Sensor can be wetted and dried multiple times.
- Can be supplied with factory-installed metal connectors that plug together.
