Three or Four Zone Water Leak Detection Alarm Type LD4-2 & LD4-2V

Application of LD4-2 Water Leak Detection Alarm

The LD4-2 Water Detection Alarm shares similarities with our smaller leak detector type LD2-3. The main difference is that it can detect water leaks in three or four zones. This feature makes it an ideal solution for detecting leaks in large residential homes with multiple areas. Additionally, the LD4-2 serves as an effective leak detection system in industrial areas, including power plants, server rooms, and office blocks.

How LD4-2 Water Leak Detector Works: Advanced Features for Effective Water Damage Prevention

Our water leak sensors boast a unique feature that sets them apart from the competition—they employ a bi-directional (AC) signal. By doing so, these sensors significantly extend their lifespan by preventing electrolysis and degradation of the water leak detection equipment.

Upon detecting a water leak, the LD4-2 display will flash, indicating the precise location of the leak. Additionally, an audible warning device will activate, and the common alarm relay will close. Even after removing the water from the sensor, the unit will continue to operate in this alert state. To silence the alarm, simply mute the sounder, which will simultaneously stop the display from flashing.

Benefits of Implementing the LD4-2 Water Leak Detector: Effortless Leak Identification

With its backlit alphanumeric display unit, the LD4-2 offers unparalleled leak detection capabilities. Identifying the source of the water leak has never been easier, thanks to this user-friendly feature.

Moreover, the LD4-2 includes a cable fault alarm feature. Any disconnection between the sensors and the controller will trigger a “Sensor Fault” alarm, ensuring you stay informed and prepared.

Each zone can accommodate a range of spot sensors or up to 50 meters of linear water detection cable. Furthermore, the standard configuration includes monitoring of the interconnecting cable between the sensors and the control unit.

To provide optimal customization, we have equipped each zone with a sensitivity potentiometer. This allows you to adjust the sensitivity of individual zones based on your specific requirements. Increase the sensitivity for areas that require extra vigilance, or decrease it for locations with high humidity or water splashes.

The unit also offers a common alarm set of volt-free contacts, allowing seamless integration with Building Management Systems (BMS) and PLC.

Our LD4-2 water detection alarm offers optional battery backup, providing uninterrupted operation during power outages. It also features outputs for connecting to flashing and audible beacons and SMS text messaging units.

Choose the LD4-2 water detection alarm for superior leak detection capabilities and comprehensive protection against water damage. Invest in a solution that combines cutting-edge technology, user-friendly features, and advanced customization options.

LD4-2 vs. LD4-2V: A Closer Look at the Differences

If you’re seeking an added layer of control, consider the LD4-2V Water Detection Alarm. This variant includes valve control functionality. In the event of a water leak, the Alarm panel will automatically shut-off the ball-valve, effectively stopping the water supply to the affected area and preventing further damage. Additionally, an internal valve shutdown override push button enables water services to be restored while waiting for the cable to dry out.

Why we use Actuated Ball Valves

CMR Electrical were one of the first Water Leak Detection companies in the UK to use Actutated Ball Valves. Read this article to discover the Benefits of Actuated Ball Valves in water detection systems. Find out why we rarely use Solenoid Valves.

Summary of the standard features:

  • The unit can be supplied as a 3 or 4 zone system
  • Large back lit alpha numeric display
  • Internal Zone Alarm and Fault lamps
  • With the exception of mains power, all terminals are of the plug and socket type
  • Bi-directional DC signal in the sensors to stop electrolyses and polarisation
  • Individual Zone sensitivity adjustment allowing any zone to be set for high to low sensitivity
  • Monitoring of each zone cable and sensor to ensure continuity and integrity
  • On board audible warning device to alert local operators of a problem
  • Alarms latched until Mute operated to give indication of transient water leaks
  • Zone signal isolation to stop multiple alarms due to sensors coming into contact with earth
