Precautions:
・Do not use the sensor cable for purposes other than water leak detection.

・Do not use S-1F sensor cable on pipes. ・Use sensor cable S-1FP for the the pipes.
・Avoid installing in a location subject to heavy condensation.
・Please keep the sensor cable length within 100m.

・ Please control the length including the sensor cable within 150m when using jumper wires to connect the detector and the sensor cable.
・Use shielded jumper wire where external electromagnetic induction may occur.
・This sensor cable is designed based on the characteristics of 3M leak detectors. When using in combination with a leak detector manufactured by other companies, be sure to confirm with the manufacturer of the leak detector and check the operation after installing the sensor cable.
・The exposed surface of concrete absorbs moisture. When the amount of water leakage is less than the amount of absorption, it is impossible to detect the leakage and the waterproofing treatment is recommended.
・Installation of the sensor cable by using SS-6 stickers to secure the sensor cable at intervals of 20-40cm so that it is stay to the ground.
・When attaching the sticker SS-6, try to avoid the opening ( electrodes ) of the sensor cable.
・After installation, make sure that the sensor cable stay on the floor.
・When using self-adhesive adhesives, use synthetic rubber or synthetic resin adhesives. Also, do not use vinyl acetate adhesive (adhesive for concrete, etc.). Vinyl acetate adhesives are hygroscopic and may cause false alarms.

 

NOTE
1) The S-1F type sensor is not suitable for use in any hazardous location. A hazardous location is defined as an area where the likelihood of flammable, combustible, or explosive concentrations exists.

2) The S-1F type sensor can detect water or liquids that conduct electricity only. It cannot detect alcohol or pure water (under 50 µS/cm), among others.

3) The S-1F type sensor is designed to be used in combination with detectors made by 3M.

4) Do not use the S-1F type sensor in combination with a water leakage detector if the added voltage to the sensor is a DC voltage.

We cannot use a standard multimeter or continuous DC for this 100-meter leak detection cable. A continuous DC voltage will constantly charge the giant distributed capacitance of the long cable, causing measurement delays and unstable readings. Also, it causes electrochemical corrosion on the stainless steel wires when moisture is present.

我們不能對這條100公尺的漏水偵測帶使用一般的電表或施加連續直流電。施加連續直流電壓會不斷為長線路龐大的分佈電容充電,導致測量延遲和讀數不穩定。此外,當有濕氣存在時,它還會引發不鏽鋼導線的電化學腐蝕。

 

Instead, the 3M WL-AD-2002-A master unit utilizes Pulsed DC. It sends out a microsecond voltage pulse every 2 seconds. This ultra-fast pulse takes a snapshot of the cable's status before the capacitance can even react. It perfectly bypasses the charging delay, eliminates environmental noise like the several MΩ reading, and prevents wire corrosion, ensuring a 100% stable and accurate detection.

With the use of Pulse signal detection, there is no effect of circuit capacitance impedance, thus the overall length is not limited. However it is recommended to keep the sensor and extension wire within 350M. For more details, please refer to each model’s compatibility table.

相反地,3M WL-AD-2002-A 漏水檢知器主機使用的是施加 9V 脈衝直流電。它每 2 秒送出一個微秒級的電壓脈衝。施加超快的脈衝在電容還來不及反應之前,就已經擷取了線路狀態的快照。它完美地避開了充電延遲、消除了像 幾個MΩ 這樣的環境雜訊,並防止了導線腐蝕,確保了 100% 穩定且精確的偵測。脈衝直流電具有「無線路電容抗效應」的特性,因此在處理長距離感測電纜時,總長度較不受限制。3M手冊說明了脈衝波訊號相較於交流 (AC) 訊號在解決電容抗與阻抗問題上的優勢。


5) Do not connect a high voltage source that exceeds 25 volts.

6) Use the S-1F type sensor within 100m (328 feet) per detector.  ( depends on what the main unit is )

7) The maximum length of the S-1F sensor (including the extension wire) is about 150 m (492 feet) per detector.  ( depends on what the main unit is )


8) When installing the detection sensor, use the stickers SS-6.


9) To avoid false alarms from the detector, the sensor and extension wire should be kept at least 20 cm (8 inches) away from any power cables (high voltage circuits over 50 volts).

10) Use the S-1F type sensor at temperatures ranging from -15 to 50 degrees C, under conditions of 90% relative humidity and no dew formation.

11) After the S-1F type sensor is installed, check whether the detector issues a warning when the sensor is wetted by water. (Wipe the sensor dry with a towel after the test.)


12) Before using the S-1F type sensor, read and understand a water leakage detector's instruction manual thoroughly.

1.  Different detectors have different capability in length for sensor cable. Exceeding the maximum length will cause false alarm and inability to reset.)  Please check with us before you buy it.

 

2. Please use appreciate gauge for wiring the senor cables. 0.75mm2 or above anti-interference braiding shield cable 1.25mm2 recommended.

 

3. The leakage detection band uses low-voltage circuitry. Therefore, during installation, do not allow it to come into contact with high-voltage circuits. Avoid installing cables parallel to or crossing high-voltage circuits.

4. For the operating environment, please choose a location where the temperature is between -15 and 45°C and the humidity is below 90%RH, where condensation will not occur.

5. Do not install in locations where toxic gases or vibrations may occur.

6. Please check its operation regularly (at least once a year).
