Andel Floodline® Multi-8 Water Leak Detection Cable
Multi-zone, water-sensitive cable that allows up to eight separately reporting leak detection zones from a single cable
Andel’s robust Multi-8 Detection Cable complies with stringent fire, smoke and halogen tests and is a multi-zone, water-sensitive cable that allows up to eight separately reporting leak detection zones from a single cable. The zone changeover points along the cable are provided by either traditional 8-zone junction boxes or Andel's Plug And Play system.
The cable is available in a variety of lengths to provide as much coverage as required and typically between 5 metres and 15 metres.
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.
Standards tested and met: CPR (Construction Products Regulation) Testing
Under the harmonised European standard EN 50575 this cable has been tested for heat release, smoke production and flame spread in accordance with EN 50399:2011+A1:2016 and EN 60332-1-2:2004+A11:2016.
Tested under AVCP (Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance) system 3 by a notified body the cable was classified as Euroclass Dca-s2,d0.
