Leak Detection Controllers: Zone vs. Distance-Read

No two leak detection applications are alike – that’s why RLE has developed a family of leak detection controllers, designed to fit a wide variety of applications.  Discover which product is right for you.

Zone leak detection is ideal for small, contained spaces, or for open areas where the path of a potential leak cannot be clearly defined.

Single zone leak detection controllers monitor one defined area of installed sensing cable or a combination of spot detectors and sensing cable. Single zone modules include the F200, LD1000, and LD310.

Multi-zone leak detection controllers have multiple inputs that accommodate sensing cable or spot detectors, and can detect leaks in several defined areas or zones. Multi-zone modules include the LDRA6.

Distance-read leak detection controllers are supervised systems that continuously monitor a length of cable for continuity and leaks. When a cable break, contamination, or leak is detected, the module calculates and annunciates the distance to the leak. This distance can then be cross-referenced with a cable reference map, or immediately located by accessing an interactive map in the leak detection appliance’s web interface.

Distance-read systems are particularly well suited for hidden areas where the location of a leak is difficult to visually identify, and applications that require leaks to be pinpointed quickly and accurately. Distance-read leak detection modules include the LD5200, LD2100, LD1500.

The Best Leak Detection Equipment for Mission-Critical Facilities

A data-center can’t afford a fluid leak of any kind. In fact, water leaks alone are the second most common cause of data loss, right behind electrical failure, of course. And while you may think that your data center is secure, a fluid leak could happen at any time and could come from anywhere. Water leaks, for instance, can come from a leaky pipe, the room next door or the room above yours. How do you protect your data from these possible fluid leaks? Just like you have electrical safeguards in place, you need a leak detection system that will prevent the worst case scenario. By learning about the various types of leak detection equipment, it will become much easier to find a leak before any damage is done.

Water Leak Detection Equipment Saving Data Centers

Water damage caused by leaks can cause serious damage over time if not treated. Water damage can cause all sorts of problems to data centers and mission critical facilities, and if not caught in time by water leak detectors, can cost these businesses millions of dollars worth of damage.  Behind electrical failure, water leaks are the most common reasons for data loss. These are all things checked by building inspectors when people are purchasing or leasing a building for business purposes. This is why you’ll often see the most thorough building inspectors with water leakage detection equipment.
