Water Leak Detection Systems
Three or Four Zone Water Leak Detector Type LD4-2 & LD4-2V
Reliable Water Leak Detector for Multi-Zone Applications
The LD4-2 Water Leak Detector is an advanced system designed to monitor and detect water leaks across three or four zones. Ideal for large residential homes, office blocks, and industrial settings such as power plants and server rooms, the LD4-2 provides comprehensive leak detection to prevent costly water damage.
The 3 to 4 zone Water Leak Detector shares similarities with our two-zone water leak detection alarm, but expands upon the number of areas that can be monitored.
How LD4-2 Water Leak Detector Works:
Upon detecting a water leak, the LD4-2 Water Leak Detector 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.
Key Features of the LD4-2 Water Leak Detector
Multi-Zone Detection: Monitors up to four independent zones for leaks.
User-Friendly Display: A backlit alphanumeric display provides precise location details of the leak.
Immediate Alerts: A flashing display and audible alarm notify users of a detected leak.
Sensor Fault Alarm: Detects and alerts users to any sensor disconnections.
Persistent Alarm State: Even after the water is removed, the system remains in alert mode until manually muted.
Advanced Sensing Technology: Our Water Leak detection cable uses a bi-directional (DC) signal to extend the detection rope lifespan by preventing electrolysis and degradation.
Customizable Sensitivity and Integration
- Adjustable Sensitivity: Each zone features a sensitivity potentiometer to tailor detection levels to specific environments.
- Multiple Sensor Options: Supports spot sensors or up to 50 meters of linear detection cable per zone.
- Building Management System (BMS) Compatibility: Includes volt-free contacts for seamless integration with BMS and PLC systems. Alternatively you can choose to have Modbus TCP output.
- Optional Battery Backup: Ensures up to 12 hours of continuous operation during power outages.
- Additional Alert Options: Compatible with flashing beacons, audible alarms, and SMS text alert units.
LD4-2 vs. LD4-2V: Key Differences
For enhanced control, the LD4-2V water leak detector includes automated valve control functionality. In the event of a detected leak:
- Automatic Water Shutoff: The water leak detector closes an actuated ball valve to halt water flow to the affected area.
- Manual Override Feature: Users can restore water service using an internal valve override button while the system dries out.
Invest in Advanced Water Leak Detection
The LD4-2 and LD4-2V water leak detectors provide industry-leading leak detection with advanced features, reliability, and ease of use. Whether for residential, commercial, or industrial applications, our systems deliver the protection you need against water damage.
Why We Use Actuated Ball Valves
CMR Electrical pioneered the use of actuated ball valves in water leak detection systems in the UK. Unlike solenoid valves, actuated ball valves offer superior reliability and durability. Learn more about their benefits in our article on the Benefits of Actuated Ball Valves.
The Importance of High-Quality Water Leak Detector Cables
At CMR Electrical, we manufacture our own high-quality water leak detector cables in the UK. Inferior cables can compromise the effectiveness of your leak detection system, leading to costly damages. Read our article ‘Warning: Cheap Water Detection Cable from China.’ to understand the risks associated with low-quality cables and why investing in reliable solutions is crucial.
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
