Multizone Water Leak Detection System – Type LD8-2

Comprehensive Multizone Water Leak Detection System for Up to 8 Zones

The LD8-2 Multizone Water Leak Detection System has been designed to monitor and detect leaks across eight independent zones. This makes it an ideal solution for protecting residential, commercial, and industrial properties. The LD8-2 multizone water leak detection system is capable of monitoring leaks in areas of varying sizes and configurations. Whether it’s tea points, server rooms, basements, or office blocks, the LD8-2 delivers reliable and comprehensive protection against water damage.

This multizone water leak detection system exands upon our popular LD2-3 (1 to 2 zones) and LD4-2 (3 to 4 zones). The advantage is having the added benefit of monitoring more zones, making it an an ideal solution for detecting water leaks in large buildings with multiple areas. The LD8-2 multizone water leak detection system provides scalability and precision in water damage prevention.

Advanced Features of the LD8-2 Multizone Water Leak Detection System

Real-Time Alerts:
Water leak detection has never been easier, thanks to the LD8-2’s large graphic touch screen. The Alarm panel display is very user-friendly, making it simple to identify which zone has a water leak or a sensor fault. This enhances the usability of the multizone water leak detection system for diverse environments.

Cable Fault Detection:
Moreover, the LD8-2 Multizone Water Leak Detection System 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. This feature further emphasizes the reliability of our multizone water leak detection system.

Flexible Installation and Integration:
For each zone, you can choose to use either a spot probe or a water leak detection cable up to 50m long. There is also the option of choosing a braided water leak detection cable that will enable you to monitor leaks on conductive, metallic surfaces. This flexibility makes the LD8-2 multizone water leak detection system adaptable to various applications.

Customizable Sensitivity:
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 multizone water leak detection system’s adjustability ensures it meets the demands of any environment.

Integration with BMS:
The multizone water leak detection system also offers a common alarm set of volt-free contacts, allowing seamless integration with Building Management Systems (BMS) and PLC. This ensures the LD8-2 Multizone Water Leak Detection System fits perfectly into any existing infrastructure.

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.

LD8-2 vs. LD8-2V: Enhanced Control with Valve Integration

Looking for added protection? Upgrade to the LD8-2V Multizone Water Leak Alarm System, which includes valve control functionality. This feature automatically shuts off the water supply to the affected zone using actuated ball valves, minimizing water damage. Additionally, an internal valve shutdown override push button enables water services to be restored while waiting for the cable to dry out. The LD8-2V is the ultimate choice for advanced multizone water leak detection system functionality.
