Andel Floodline Ranger® Distance Measuring Water Leak Detection Cable

How it works

Distance-measuring leak detection

When used with a Floodline Ranger^® control panel, this sensor cable provides continuous monitoring up to 1,500 metres, reporting the exact location of a leak to assist rapid response and minimise damage. The distance measurement capability helps pinpoint leaks anywhere along the cable, even in extended runs.

Flexible installation patterns

The cable can be laid in straight runs, loops or grid patterns to suit floor voids, plant room layouts or long corridors, ensuring tailored coverage with clear localisation.

Typical applications

Floodline Ranger^® Distance Measuring Cable is best suited to floor-level and wide-area monitoring where water is likely to pool or spread amd where extensive leak monitoring and precise location are required, including:

• Data centres and server rooms – corridors and halls
• HVAC plant rooms and equipment spaces
• Warehouses and long corridors
• Libraries, museums and archival spaces
• Raised floor voids and beneath service risers
• Large open areas requiring distance measuring

Benefits at a glance

• Long-distance monitoring
• Precise localisation
• Coverage efficiency
• Reduced investigation time
• Faster incident response

System compatibility

The Ranger^® sensor cable is designed to work with:

• Ranger^® Distance Measuring Control Panel as a stand-alone system

• Floodline^® zonal control panels as part of larger installations

This flexibility makes it easy to scale from small installations to complex building monitoring systems, integrating with alarms, BMS and remote monitoring platforms.

Supporting resilience in mission-critical environments

In mission-critical facilities such as data centres and central plant rooms, maintaining uptime depends on rapid detection and accurate localisation of water ingress across large or complex areas. Floodline Ranger^® Distance Measuring Sensor Cable supports resilience by providing continuous monitoring along extended cable runs, enabling facilities teams to quickly identify the location of leaks within floor voids, plant areas and service routes.

By accurately reporting the distance to a leak along cable runs of up to 1,500 metres, Ranger^® supports targeted response and efficient remediation, helping to reduce disruption and limit the impact of water-related incidents. When deployed as part of a wider Floodline^® leak detection strategy, it supports operational resilience objectives commonly associated with data centre best practice and frameworks such as EN 50600.

Reusable and low-maintenance

The cable dries quickly and resets within minutes after water exposure. It can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and returned to service without loss of performance – supporting low maintenance and long-term reliability.
