2.5  Assembling Leak Detection tape and connecting cables:

Tools required:

Crimping plier suitable for securing red pre-insulated terminals (bullet 
connectors).

NB. If lengths of leak detection tape are being daisy chained together 
with interconnection cable between each length of tape, you will also 
require:

  Red 0.5 - 1.5 mm² Insulated Male and Female Crimp Bullet 

 

Connectors/Terminals with a copper sleeve and flared vinyl  

 insulation. 

  2 core audio cable.

Assembly

 

(see Figure 9)

1.  To connect the 1.5M connection cable to a single length of leak 

detection tape crimp the female bullet connectors at the end of 
the connection cable into the male bullet connectors on the leak 
detection tape. 

 

Plug the connecting cable in to Input “L” on the Water Valve 
Control or the cable on the bottom of the Wireless Leak Detection 
Transmitter.

2.4  Installing a Wireless Leak Detector Transmitter and Leak Detection tape

A Wireless Leak Detector Transmitter and Leak Detection tape can be installed up to 25 metres away from the Water Valve Control. The 
distance over which the wireless signal will work will depend on a number of factors including building construction, position of the Water 
Valve Control and Wireless Transmitter and in some instances the effect of interference from other wireless or electronic devices.

Test the wireless signal between the Wireless Leak Detector Transmitter and the Water Valve Control by temporarily 

positioning all the components in the location where they are intended and testing in those locations before installation 

(Section 1.6). Position the transmitter as high as possible off the ground to maximise the wireless signal.

Installation

Fix using self-adhesive fixing pads or Velcro. Ensure that the transmitter’s connection cable hangs vertically and the Leak Detection tape 
can be positioned where needed.

Figure 8. 

– Leak detection tape components

2.  To connect the 1.5M connection cable to two lengths of leak detection tape to make a longer length of tape, crimp the female bullet 

connectors at the end of the cable into the male bullet connectors on the first length of leak detection tape, then crimp the test pins 
of that tape in to the female bullet connectors on the next length of tape. A maximum length of 30M of tape can be connected in this 
way.

 

Connect to the wireless Leak Detection Transmitter or Water Valve Control as detailed above.
