4. Push the Down button until the IP
address is highlighted. By default,
the IP address is 10.0.0.188. Press
the Select button to change the IP
address.
5. Use the backspace button to delete
the default address. Enter the new
IP address, as provided by your
network administrator. Press the
Enter button to apply the new IP address.
6. Scroll down to the Def Route and Net Mask and use the same method to edit
the Default Gateway and Subnet Mask information as necessary.
Test the System
If the LD5200 is already connected to a BMS or NMS, notify monitoring personnel
before you begin testing the system.
1. Using a sketch or mechanical drawing of the facility, add the cable routing,
connection points, and any accessories used. Record the distance marker
when the cable changes direction and in between connectors.
2. The more details you show, the greater the benefit later when you are
locating leaks and troubleshooting the system
3. To verify the LD5200’s functionality, test three points within the length of

sensing cable - one at the beginning, one in the middle of the length, and
another near the end of the length of cable.
4. There are a variety of ways to simulate a leak.
• Pour a small puddle of water on the cable while it rests on the floor.
• Dunk the cable in a cup of water.
• Soak a paper towel or rag and wrap it loosely around the cable. This is
popular if the cable is used in pipe applications. Be careful to wrap the wet
cloth loosely around the cable. Do not put pressure on the cable.
IMPORTANT - To avoid inaccurate readings, do not grip the cable with your
hand.
5. Verify that the LD5200 reports the leaks within a few feet of their actual
physical location. If the leaks are reported in the approximate location, but
not precisely at the actual location of the leak, you may wish to calibrate the
system. Consult the LD5200 User Guide to calibrate the cable’s resistance,
which will provide the most accurate distance readings.
6. Remove all simulated leak sources and return the system to its normal
operating state.
7. To test the cable fault alarm, remove the end-of-line terminator (EOL) from
the end of the sensing cable. This will cause a cable break, which should
be reported appropriately by the LD5200. Once the cable break alarm
is verified, reapply the EOL and ensure the system returns to its normal
operating state.
