DESCRIPTION
Sensing and non-sensing cables are designed for use with Zone and Distance Read
panels. The sensing cables detect the presence of liquid, and send a signal to the
panel. The panel generates an alarm and pinpoints the exact location of the leak or
spill along the cable’s length. Sensing cables are designed for the highest accuracy
and maximum reliability.
SC water detection cable senses the presence of water or other conductive fluid. SC-C
chemical sensing cable detects the presence of chemicals (see Specifications for list).
SC-H hydrocarbon sensing cable locates hydrocarbons within 1 foot (0.33 m) of the
actual leak, with as little as 2 inches (51 mm) of wetted cable, and is impervious to
the presence of water.
NSC non-sensing cable is used to extend the control panel’s leader cable to an area
where SC detection cable is needed. It also bridges lengths of SC detection cable in
areas where sensing is not required. Invisible to the control panel, the non-sensing
cable does not affect the accuracy of readings or limit the amount of water detection
cable that can be connected to a control panel. NSC cables are only compatible with
systems using SC water detection cables.
All cables are highly flexible, durable, and kink-resistant. They lie flat after
installation, and they are abrasion resistant. The cables are plenum rated and UL
listed making them ideal for use under raised floors and areas where plenum rated
cable is required. Choose a pre-specified cable length or a custom length for your
convenience and installation flexibility.
