Hydrowire Installation and Commissioning
Hydrowire Installation HSHWI-100
Mount the Connection Interface to the area where the start of the Hydrowire is to be
mounted. Wire the Connection Interface back to the Hydrosense Control Panel as shown in
Hydrosense Wiring section.
1. Connect the lengths of Hydrowire to be used in the zone and terminate with an EOL
(HS-HWCI-EOL). Plug the Hydrowire into the Connection Box (HS-HWCI). Power up
Control panel and Check that no fault or alarm is reported on the connected zone.
2. Remove the end of line plug and check that a Fault is reported.
3. Remove power from the Control Panel. Disconnect the Hydrowire and store ready for
installation.
4. Ensure that the installation area is clean and free from water, dust and debris.
5. Plan detection route and mark floor and install clips (HY-FXSA) to the area to be
protected so that the distance between any two Hydrowires is no more than 2 metres.
(For localised protection of sources of potential water leakage, such as air conditioning
and water filled radiators, the distance between Hydrowires may be greater).
6. Plug the Hydrowire cable into the Connection Interface, then lay cable to the first clip
ensuring cable not taught, fit into clips and then push clips down to retain the cable. At
the end of the Hydrowire cable fit the EOL (HS-HWCI-EOL).
7. The Hydrowire cable should be installed so that it remains in contact with the floor for as
much of its length as is possible.
Great care must be taken when using other fixing
clips. Although the cable is quite sturdy is can be damaged by crushing or excessive
bending. A bend radius of 150mm is recommended as a minimum.
8. The product label should be left such that it is clearly visible.
Note:
Hydrowire should not come into contact with surface temperatures greater than 70
o
C.
Lengths of greater than 50 metres are not permissible from the Connection Interface, this
distance includes Hydrowire and any Zone Extenders fitted.
