The TraceTek Zone System
The TraceTek zone system is a leak detection and location system that monitors many
separate locations from one point. The zone system consists of the TTDM Alarm and
Locating Module and up to 100 separate sensing zones interconnected by one run of
jumper cable.
Each sensing zone consists of a zone connector and one 5 ft (1.5 m) length of sensing
cable. If liquid is detected, the module signals the alarm and displays the zone where the
leak has occurred. The zones are numbered sequentially by the system electronics.
Important: In a TraceTek zone system, only
zone sensing cables (TT3000 zone or
TT5000-series zone) may be used. Each sensing cable plugs into a zone connector.
The last zone connector must have an end termination.

TraceTek Longline System
A TraceTek longline system provides distributed leak detection and location to monitor
long lengths and wide areas. The system consists of the TTDM Alarm and Locating
Module and up to 5000 ft (1500 m) of sensing cable.
The sensing cable detects liquid at any point along its length. The module then signals the
alarm and displays the distance to the leak.
The longline system includes sensing cable and circuit components (leader cable, jumper
cables, end terminations, weighted lengths, and branching connectors) with connectors
that allow components of the system to plug together.
The weighted length resistor simulates a 15 ft (5 m) length of sensing cable. Installed at
the boundary between two areas, it allows the user to clearly identify the area where the
leak has occurred.
The branching connector enables the sensing cable to be branched. An end termination
completes each branch. At the branching connector, the system first counts the sensing
cable along the branch (middle connector), before it continues with the main run. Two
built-in 15 ft (5 m) weighted length resistors allow the user to clearly identify on which
leg a leak has occurred near the branching connector.
An important part of the TraceTek longline system is the system map, a sensing cable
layout plan with actual distance readings. Thus, in case of an alarm, the location of the event
can be determined quickly. The map should be placed near the Alarm and Locating Module.
