Problem
Action
2. A section of the sensing cable may be faulty. To determine if this is the
case:
e.
Power down (switch off) the Aqualeak 10K and remove the End-of-
Line terminator (EOL) from the end of the sensor cable.
f.
Find the junction between the first and second sections of sensor
cable. Separate the two sections and install the EOL terminator at the
end of the first section.
g.
Turn power back on to the Aqualeak 10K. Allow the Aqualeak 10K to
run for five to ten minutes. Apply a damp cloth, rag or paper towel to
the end of the first section of orange sensor cable. If the leak is
calculated correctly, remove the EOL terminator; reconnect the
sensor cable and move down to the next section of cable.
h.
Repeat this process until a faulty reading is obtained. If the reading is
off at the first section of cable, the Aqualeak 10K may be
miscalculating the distance. Please contact Aqualeak for support
Persistent cable
contamination
alarm
1. Unless an obvious contaminate can be found, to clear a contamination
alarm the sensor cable must be removed from its installation and cleaned.
Usually the cable can be cleaned by pulling it through a clean damp rag.
You can also wipe the cable with isopropyl alcohol.
2. If the sensor cable is contaminated by oil, glycol or chemicals, the cable
can be washed. Remove the cable from its installation; and submerge it in
a solution of one capful of mild dish washing detergent to two gallons
lukewarm water (<105°F). Agitate the cable in the solution, rinse with
clear lukewarm water, and wipe dry with a clean towel.
3. Connect the sensor cable to the Aqualeak 10K and test it to make sure the
contaminates have been removed before reinstalling the cable under the
floor.
NOTE
Contamination and/or physical damage to the sensor cable is not covered under
warranty.
Repair
If the 10K requires repair and service, it must be either returned to Aqualeak, or an Aqualeak
Installation Engineer called-out. When contacting Aqualeak for assistance, please have the
following information available:
