Scope of this GuideThis guide will help you select TraceTekproducts for water detection in commercialbuildings. Detailed product information inthis guide complements the TraceTekApplication Guide for Commercial BuildingProtection (H53147).Additional TraceTek products are availablefor other liquids—fuels and oils, organic sol-vents—and for other types of applications.See the TraceTek Selection Guide forIndustrial and Environmental Applications(H55869) for further detail.

Modular Design ApproachTraceTek leak detection is a versatilemodular system, with interchangeablecomponents that can be configured inmany different ways. Standard lengths ofTraceTek cable plug together with nospecial tools, making it easy to modify oradd to the system in the future. Therange of TraceTek alarm modules andmodular components allows you to tailorthe monitoring approach and layout tothe application.

Contents of this GuideThe first two pages of this guide showtypical configurations for TraceTek leakdetection systems. Many other configura-tions are possible as well. The last twopages present product listings—detailedtechnical and ordering information for theproducts available.Other Raychem literature can beobtained from our Fax-on-Demand serviceat (800) 329-4494.

TraceTek Leak DetectionProduct Selection Guide for Water Sensing Systems

Elements of a TraceTek System

A Basic SystemEvery TraceTek leak detection systemhas these basic parts:• An alarm module• Leader and/or jumper cables

(nonsensing cables between the module and the areas monitored)

• Sensing cable• End termination• Accessories such as hold-down clips

and tags.

A Locating SystemA TraceTek locating system oftenincludes these additional circuit components:• Branching connectors • Weighted lengthsThese components make it possible for alocating system to monitor one or morelarge areas or lengths.A locating system has one more essentialelement:• A graphic map (see an example on the

next page)

A TraceTek locating system can monitorone or more large areas. If water contactsthe sensing cable, the alarm and locatingmodule indicates the location with a digitaldisplay. A system map created after instal-lation provides reference points (e.g., in the illustration) to facilitate a quick,effective response.

shows where the sensing circuitjumps to a new room and a weightedlength is used. The weighted length simulates 15 ft of sensing cable so thesystem map will show a clear divisionbetween the separate areas.

shows a branch in the sensing circuit. ATraceTek branching connector is wired sothe connected branches appear in series,middle leg first. The branching connectoralso adds a simulated cable length of 15 fton each branch to make a clear divisionbetween areas. Although not shown, a system may have branches within branches.The number of branches is limited only bythe length of the sensing circuit.

Alarm relays from the TTC-1 module may be used to control equipment (e.g., close a valve), to annunciate an alarm, and/or to signal an alarm to a host system.

Sensing cable can be positioned to provide complete leakdetection coverage of pumps, boilers, and other equipment.

The TTA-1 module can be installed in an occupied area to make use of the module’s audible alarm. The use of jumper cable allows the alarm module to be positioned in a location remote from the sensing cable it monitors.
