Junction Boxes

Floodline Junction Boxes are an integral part of a Detection Cable/Tape system.

Three variations of the Junction Boxes are available:
1. One zone Junction Box for use with Single-Zone Tape
2. Four zone Junction Box for use with the “Multi-4” 4 Zone detection cable (screw terminal connections)
3. 8 Zone Junction Box for use with the “Multi-8” 8 Zone detection cable (IDC “KRONE” type terminal connections)

Function:
Connects Leader Cable to Detection Cable/Tape
End-of-line termination
Zone change along multi-zone cable string

Applications:

Zone identification assists and confirms leak location
Protective Guard Plate/mounting bracket available if required

Caution Tags

Floodline Caution Tags are an integral part of a Detection Cable/Tape system.

Function:
Warns of Detection Cable/Tape function
Confirms zone number

Applications:
Self adhesive wrap around Detection Cable/Tape

Leader Cable

Andel supply dedicated leader cabling.

Used for connecting Floodline Sensors to Floodline Alarm Panels. and for branching between detection areas on the same detection string.

Andel’s purpose-made Leader Cable is all LSF0H construction for use in modern industrial/commercial environments.  The core colours of the detection cable match the colours of the detection cable making installation simpler.

The Multi-Zone Control Panel operates the network of leak detection zones.  A zone can be a single point or many metres long and the whole network is continuously monitored for leaks and continuity.  Zones are electrically isolated from each other and individually displayed so the system can accept and report any number of simultaneous or consecutive zone alarms - true multiple leak reporting - an alarm in one zone has no affect on the normal monitoring of its neighbours or the rest of the system.

LEDs provide clear and easy to understand status and alarm information.  Output relays are provided for connection to remote alarm, BMS etc.  Leak detection is shown clearly as LEAK. Sensor or cable damage or failure is shown as SYSTEM FAULT.

For high sensitivity applications where a more basic, low cost system is required.  The Single Zone Tape is a very strong, easy to install sensor.  The sensor can be wetted and dried any number of times.  The zones can be any length but the usual length is between 5 and 15m.

Applications:
In the voids below raised floors
Above suspended ceilings
Tie-wrapped to individual pipes
Run in drip trays
Laid around the base of an item of plant, apparatus or tank
Laid in loops or wave pattern for general monitoring of larger areas
No minimum or maximum length

Detection:
Activates with any conductive liquid anywhere along its entire length
Multiple re-use, dry and reset
Easy to replace or splice-in new length if damaged or hopelessly contaminated

Construction:
Polyester “woven” construction.  No exposed conductors.  Very high strength and abrasion resistance.

Dimensions:
20mm x 3mm thick.  Supplied in any length either pre-connected at the factory or for cutting on site.

Fixing:
Fix to floor or other surfaces with flat ribbon type clips or self-adhesive clips or tie-wraps.  Detection Tape is laid loosely with warning labels attached at regular intervals to warn of its function

System:
Connection can be made directly to any Floodline Control Panel/Unit or via Leader Cable

The Floodline Pipe-in-Pipe Sensor is based around a Point Sensor but designed for fitting into a female threaded socket provided at strategic points in the outer pipe.  Short stainless steel probes extend into the cavity, or annulus, created between the inner and outer pipes.  When liquid escapes into the cavity and contacts a sensor the alarm is activated.  Two types of device are available for water and oil (oil/any liquid).

Applications:
Double containment pipe or tanks
High level alarm in tanks

Detection:
Activates when any conductive liquid contacts the stainless steel probes or touches the tip (depending on the type of device used)
Multiple re-use
Instant return to use

Construction:
High density plastic body, stainless steel
probes fully encapsulated
Resistant plastic tip (oil pipe-in-pipe)

Dimensions:
Length of body approx 70mm, diameter 30mm

Super Absorbent - High Sensitivity

Multi-4 - 4 Zone Detection Cable has been used for over ten years in areas where maximum leak detection sensitivity is essential.

Although superceded by Andel's more modern Multi-8 all-polymer detection cables for general usage, the highly absorbent Multi-4 cable is the best option where sensitvity to the smallest amount of water or condensation is required.

One length of Multi-4 - 4 Zone Detection Cable can provide up to four separately reporting zones.  The zone changeover points along the cable are provided by the Floodline 4 Zone Junction boxes.  The zones can be any length but the usual length is between 5 and 15m.

Multi-4 - 4 Zone Detection Cable incorporates a fine multi-filament cellulosic outer covering which acts just like a wick. Water is "sucked" into the inner detection cores allowing the system to react to the smallest drip. A special colour change system is built into the cable giving permanent evidence that the cable has been wet - and where -  even after it has dried.

Applications:
Attach to the underside of the pipes (inside or outside the lagging)
Laid in drip-trays and catchment troughs
Fix to soffits and ceilings to detect water ingress

Detection:
Activates with any conductive liquid anywhere along the entire length of the detection cable.  Once dry can be returned to use in most cases.

Construction:
Inner PVC core with cellulosic covered detection cores.  Multi-filament cellulosic outer covering.

Dimensions:
Oval in shape, 4mm x 6mm

Fixing:
For fixing to floor or other surface.  Use standard 6mm Tower Clip or self-adhesive clips, or fix to the underside of pipes with tie-wraps or tape inside or outside any lagging.

The Floodline Tundish/Overflow sensor is designed to be attached to the overflow of a toilet cistern or other tank to provide an immediate automatic warning in the event of an overflow.

The sensor can be used singly, or in multiples, connected to any of the Floodline alarm panels.  Each sensor can be allocated its own zone, or they can be installed in groups with a number of sensors attached together to form one zone.

The Tundish/Overflow sensor can be easily incorporated into a larger, more complex leak detection installation and it can be used along with any other Floodline detection device.

Tundish/Overflow sensors can be wetted and dried any number of times provided the sensor is not contaminated with a substance that irrevocably changes its electrical characteristics.  Any soluble contamination can usually be removed by cleaning the sensor in warm water.

Applications:
Toilet cistern and tank overflows

Detection:
Activates with any conductive liquid, once dry can be returned to use.

Construction:
Tough plastic bowl and connection box with stainless steel sensor probes

Dimensions:
Bowl: 65mm diameter x 60mm height
Outflow: 20mm length 22mm internal diameter 25.5 external diameter
Prefitted leader to connection box: 90mm
Connection box: 80mm length 56mm width 24mm height

Fixing:
Fix to standard 22mm overflow pipe exiting the cistern/tank

The unique “Multi-Zone” construction of the Multi-8 - 8 Zone water sensitive cable allows up to eight separately reporting detection zones to be provided from one length of cable.

The zone changeover points along the cable are provided by either traditional Floodline 8-zone junction boxes or the Plug And Play system.  The zones can be any length but the usual 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.

Applications:
Below raised floors
Above suspended ceilings
Run in drip trays
Laid around the base of plant, apparatus or tank
Laid in loops or wave pattern for general monitoring of larger areas
Attached to pipework within lagging

Detection:
Activates with any conductive liquid anywhere along the entire length of the detection cable.  Once dry can be returned to use

Construction:
A tough, all polymeric, low smoke and fume, zero halogen construction

Dimensions:
5mm Diameter

Fixing:
For fixing to floor or other surface, use standard 6mm tower clips, self-adhesive clips or tie-wraps.  Detection cable is laid loosely with special Caution Tags attached at regular intervals to identify zone
