1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Liebert Liqui-tect Monitoring System is the ultimate in leak detection and retrofitting capabilities for computer rooms and other large areas. The Liqui-tect Monitoring System provides direct-read
at the control unit location, as well as the ability to communicate with the Liebert SiteScan Web
enterprise monitoring system or a building management system.
The Liqui-tect Monitoring System features an easy-to-use liquid crystal display (LCD) panel with
readout of normal and alarm conditions, as well as leak location. Display and measurement modules
are contained in a single compact package.
The Liqui-tect Monitoring System can monitor up to 10,000 ft. (3048m) of Liebert LT500Y leak detection cable. Points along the cable may be mapped by one person, making it easy to configure within
the critical space and pinpoint the location of leaks when they occur. The system determines the location of the water on the detection cable and reports the distance from the Liqui-tect panel in feet or
meters. To ensure proper protection, the system continuously monitors operation, signaling system
normal, leak detected and cable fault.
The Liqui-tect panel offers these and other features to protect your installation from leak damage:
• audible and visual alarms
• adjustable sensitivity setpoints for leaks and contamination
• continuous scrolling of data
• history logs
• connection to a building management system
• automatic detection of broken cables and contaminated cables
• password protection
• retention of configuration after a power failure
Introduction
Two interfaces permit easy access and configuration of the Liqui-tect panel:
• LCD on the front of the enclosure
• Liebert’s SiteScan Web enterprise monitoring system through a dedicated connection port
1.1 Equipment Inspection
Upon arrival of the unit, inspect all items for visible and concealed damage. Damage should be immediately reported to the carrier and a damage claim filed with a copy sent to Liebert or to your sales
representative.

1.2 Outside Enclosure Overview
Liqui-tect
Monitoring System
The enclosure for the Liqui-tect panel’s controller board comes in two sizes:
•The large enclosure is designed to accommodate the Transformer Module and future compo-
nents, in addition to the controller board.
•The small enclosure is built to hold the controller board only.
Both enclosures are 2-3/4" deep.
Both enclosures have a built-in liquid crystal display (LCD) and a key lock, as shown in the example
below. The metal enclosures accommodate secure conduit fittings and protect components against
external forces and debris.

2.0 INSTALLATION
2.1 Installation Considerations
The Liqui-tect panel must be installed indoors and may be mounted on the surface of a wall or flushmounted, depending on the user’s application and the type of wall the unit will be mounted on. The
unit’s location must meet the following criteria:
• The panel must be placed close enough to the areas to be monitored to permit proper connection of
the leak detection cable. The panel will monitor two zones; each zone can accommodate up to
5,000 ft. (1524m) of leak detection cable.
• The Liqui-tect panel should be mounted where it can be easily accessed. Personnel would access
the unit through the LCD on its front cover or through SiteScan.
• The site also must have electrical service and must permit connection of the panel’s four digital
outputs, two inputs for leak detection cables and two analog outputs for connecting to a building
management system or external alarm.
• The wall material must be capable of supporting the weight of the Liqui-tect panel: see 7.0 -
Specifications.

installation and prevent strain on the mounting hardware and wall. It is imperative to remove
the knockouts if the unit is to be flush-mounted.
After determining where to place the unit, check to ensure that you have all the hardware required to
install the panel on the surface of a wall. Obtain the needed tools and material.
Required tools
• Electric drill (if surface is too hard to drive screws without pilot holes)
• Screwdriver
• Marker to denote layout of holes
• Four screws, each #10
2.2.1 Mounting the Panel
CAUTION
!
Check building plans and other relevant documents to determine whether mounting the
Liqui-tect panel at the selected location might cause cutting or otherwise damaging electrical
or communication wiring or pipes.
1. Mark the wall for mounting holes, using the back of the unit as a template (see Figure 4).
2. Drill holes, if required, to install the four #10 screws that will secure the Liqui-tect panel to the
wall. Clean up the debris.
3. If the wall material is not strong enough to hold the screws securely, use wall anchors.
4. Install the top two screws—the screw heads must be small enough to slip through the larger,
bottom portion of the pear-shaped mounting slot in the Liqui-tect panel (see inset in illustration
at right). The screws must also be large enough to extend over the edges of the top of the
mounting slot.
5. Hang the Liqui-tect panel on the screws, letting the panel slip down until the screws are in the
smaller, upper portion of the slot.
6. Tighten the screws until they are snug.
7. Insert the remaining two screws in the bottom holes on the back of the panel and tighten.

2.3 Flush-Mounting the Liqui-tect Panel
NOTE
Removing the conduit knockouts before mounting the Liqui-tect panel on the wall will ease
installation and prevent strain on the mounting hardware and wall. It is imperative to remove
the knockouts if the unit is to be flush-mounted.
The rectangular access doors on the top and bottom of the Liqui-tect panel must be removed
from the outside of the panel and reinstalled on the inside of the panel. Leaving the doors as
shipped from the factory prevents them from being opened when the panel is flush mounted in
a wall.
The Liqui-tect panel may be flush mounted according to company practices—either with screws
through the sides of the panel into wall supports or with hanging hardware that attaches to the back
of the panel. After determining how and where to place the unit, check to ensure that you have all the
hardware required to install the panel in the wall. Obtain the needed tools.

3.1 Connecting Leak Detection Cable Inputs
The leak detection cable inputs are found on the lower right side of the Liqui-tect panel’s printed wiring assembly board. There are two terminal blocks for the inputs; the lower terminal block is for the
Zone 1 cable and the terminal block above it is for a second leak detection cable, Zone 2.
To determine the proper wire size, see Table 4 - Wiring specifications.
NOTE
Each terminal block is a removable, two-part assembly to permit easier connection of more
than one input at a time. If making multiple connections, grasp the upper portion of a block
and pull firmly to the right until the assembly pulls apart.
After making the connections, push the removed piece back into the portion attached to the
printed wiring assembly until the terminal block pieces lock together.
3.1.1 Attaching Leak Detection Connection Cable to the Panel
To attach a leak detection connection cable:
1. Disconnect electrical power to the Liqui-tect
panel.
2. Locate the Zone 1 and Zone 2 cable connectors
on the controller board. They can be found on
the lower right corner of the board (see 1.4 -
Controller Board Overview). The Zone 1
connector is Cable 1 or TB9. The Zone 2
connector (Cable 2 or TB6) is just above it.
3. If necessary, remove a conduit knockout to
permit wire entry into the Liqui-tect panel
enclosure.
4. Bring the white connection cable
(CONNECT10) into the Liqui-tect panel
enclosure through a conduit knockout or
access slot.
5. Loosen a screw on the terminal block and slip
the stripped end of the appropriate wire into
the terminal block according to the color-coded
wiring key (see illustration at right).
Note that the WHITE wire connects to the “Y”
slot. The red wire connects to the “R” slot, the
green wire connects to the “G” slot and the black wire to the “B” slot.
6. Tighten the screw until it holds the wire snugly.
7. Repeat for each of the four wire strands in the connection cable.

After making this connection, lay the leak detection cable around the area to be monitored.
The monitored area would include any equipment or objects that might be damaged by water.
Figure 9 shows one possible layout. In the example, the detection cable crosses between air conditioning units and computers to alert personnel when the electronic equipment is threatened by a leak.
If there is a liquid source in the ceiling, the cable can be placed there. If a raised floor is used for cooling, the cable can be placed underneath the raised surface.

Follow these steps in laying the detection cable:
1. Attach the end terminator to the last length of leak detection cable required to monitor the
selected area.
2. Verify power is connected and test the detection cable by touching the detection cable with a
clean, moist cloth or paper towel.
If the cables are connected properly, the audible horn should sound and the LCD screen should
flash. Dry the detection cable to remove the alarm condition. (A hair dryer can be used to speed up
the drying.)
Note: Do not try to saturate the detection cable for testing! It requires only a small amount of
water to alarm. The detection cable will have to dry for the alarm condition to clear.

3. Once the cable passes the test, lay it in the pattern desired. Pay special attention to the following
cable placement precautions.
DETECTION CABLE PLACEMENT PRECAUTIONS
• Do not use detection cable that is damaged or dirty—for example, from plaster, spackle or debris.
• Detection cable should not be dragged through contaminants (dirty or greasy areas). Floor must be clean
for the detection cable to function properly and for the hold-down clips to adhere to the floor surface.
• Careful consideration should be taken to place detection cable out of the direct discharge airflow path of
environmental equipment. This type of equipment can discharge moisture into the airflow. Place cable
6 ft. (1.8m) from discharge to avoid nuisance alarms during humidification.
• Tools or heavy objects can do permanent damage when dropped, rolled, or set on the detection cable.
Avoid foot traffic on the detection cable as well.
• Do not use any type of adhesive tape to secure the detection cable.
• Do not allow soldering or welding near the detection cable without providing protection from heat and
contaminants. (Also avoid installing the detection cable in or near these type of areas.)
• Mild dishwashing liquid can be used to clean the detection cable of many contaminants.
4. Install the hold-down clips in pairs, as shown in Figure 10, with the following considerations:
a. The adhesive used to install the hold-down clips must NOT come in contact with the detection
cable.
b. One pair every 6 to 8 ft. (1.8-2.4m) in straight patterns (see Figure 11).
c. One pair every 3 to 4 ft. (0.9-1.2m) in circular patterns (see Figure 12).
d. One pair at the beginning and end of the arc when turning 90 degrees (see Figure 13).
e. One pair as needed to maintain consistent uniform contact between the floor and detection
cable.
Figure 10 Installation of hold-
down clips in pairs
5. Once adhesive is completely dry, snap the cable into each hold-down clip.
6. Check that there are no gaps between the floor and detection cable. (Add clips as required.)
7. Be certain there are no alarms present on the module.
8. Do final testing as per instruction in Step 2.

3.2 Connecting Alarm Outputs
The Zone 1 and Zone 2 alarm outputs, found in the top right corner
of the Liqui-tect panel, provide a contact output for a leak and a
cable break for each zone. As an example, the outputs may provide
alarms to an auxiliary alarm panel or building management system. To determine the proper wire size, see Table 4 - Wiring spec-
ifications.
A wiring key beside each terminal block indicates whether the connected output is wired for Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed
(NC).
An alarm relay wired as an unsupervised point (energized for
alarm) must be wired to the Normally Open (NO) and Common (C)
contacts.
An alarm relay wired as a supervised point (de-energized for alarm)
must be wired to the Normally Closed (NC) and Common (C) contacts.
To connect an output:
1. Disconnect electrical power to the Liqui-tect panel.
2. If necessary, remove a conduit knockout to permit wire entry into the Liqui-tect panel enclosure.
3. Bring the wire(s) into the Liqui-tect panel enclosure through a conduit knockout or access slot.
4. Loosen the appropriate screw and slip the stripped end of the wire into the terminal block.
5. Tighten the screw until it holds the wire snugly.

The auto calibration feature is designed to allow compensation for the
resistance tolerances in the two legs of the sensing wires.
As soon as cable is connected, the panel begins calculating the cable
length. Initiating the auto calibration feature allows the user to modify the distance to account for any discrepancies. Once the new distance is entered, the panel adjusts for the required offset between the
calculated value and the user value.
To initiate automatic calibration for ZN1:
• From the Setup Zone 1 Menu, choose Auto Calibrate, as shown
at right, and press Enter ↵.
• At the Change Maximum Length screen, you may change the
maximum length of cable protecting this zone:

6.5.1 Specify Longest Cable Length
You may specify the length of the longest cable connected to either of the 4-20mA alarm outputs. The
default value is 0-1000 ft. (0-304.8m). Valid entries range from 0-500 ft. (0-152.4m) to 0-5000 ft.
(0-1524m), as shown in the Maximum Cable Length screen, below right.
Select the longer cable length installed on either zone. For example, if Zone 1 has 2000 ft. (609.6m) of
cable and Zone 2 has 3500 ft. (1066.8m), select 0-4000 ft. (0-1219.2m).
The chosen setting applies to both zones and is correlated to the 4-20mA output of each zone to provide the distance of the leak. Once the range is selected, the following correlation will be applied:
5mA = 0 ft. (0m)
19mA = 4000 ft. (1219.2m)
Table 10 shows the operation of the 4-20mA outputs.
Table 10 Operation of 4-20mA outputs
Signal Operation
0mA Indicates cable cannot be monitored
4mA Indicates normal operation
5mA 0 ft. (0m)
19mA Longest cable length (ft.)—for example, 4000 ft. (1219.2m)
20mA Indicates cable fault / contamination

System and Control Options
Following are some similarities and differences between Latched and Unlatched alarms.
Liqui-tect System’s Response to Alarms - Both Latched and Unlatched
When a leak or cable break is detected:
• An alarm occurs,
• A record is created in the Alarm History Log and
• The leak-detected or cable-break alarm output contact changes state.
Latched Alarms Only
The user must reset latched alarms before another leak or cable break alarm can occur.
NOTE
A contaminated cable alarm will never latch. Because this type of alarm serves only as a
warning, it allows leak or cable break alarms to occur.
Unlatched Alarms Only
When an alarm output returns to its normal state, the alarms automatically clear and the system
returns to normal.
If two leaks occur simultaneously on the same cable, the system creates a record with the distance of
the first leak and displays an average distance for the two leaks. Always check the Alarm History Log
(see 5.2 - View Alarm History) when leak detected alarms occur in unlatched mode.
6.6 Setup System - Setup Re-Alarm Delay
The re-alarm delay may be set to provide an audible, reminder alarm notification after an alarm has
been silenced. The timer begins when the original alarm is silenced; the reminder alarm will occur
after the specified delay time has expired. The default setting is 5 minutes. The delay time ranges
from 0 to 999 minutes.
To set up the re-alarm delay:
Log In and Choose Setup System
• From the Main Menu, use the arrows
Control, then press Enter ↵ (see 6.1 - Login for help).
• Enter your password at the Login screen.
• From the System and Control Menu, use the arrows

6.7 Setup System - Setup Mapmode
Mapping involves measuring the exact location of various points along the leak detection cable. This
greatly simplifies the use of the Liqui-tect Monitoring System to quickly pinpoint the location of a leak.
The Liqui-tect Monitoring System determines the location of a leak by computing its distance along the
leak detection cable. By setting off alarms with a damp paper towel or sponge and marking each reading
on a map of the floor, you can define various points along the cable for later reference in finding a leak.
Up to 254 points can be mapped.
NOTE
You must perform the automatic calibration steps in 6.3.4 - Auto Calibration before mapping
can commence. The leak detection cable is 12 in. (30.48cm) to 18 in. (45.72cm) longer than the
nominal length, which allows a service loop should the cable need to be replaced. Automatic
calibration enables the Liqui-tect system to determine the cable’s exact length.
After the leak detection cable has been laid and properly connected, as described in 3.1 - Connecting
Leak Detection Cable Inputs, follow these steps to map the system:
1. Draw a floor plan that shows the routing of the leak detection cable, including any jumpers used
(non-sensing cable).
2. Using the LCD on the front panel of the Liqui-tect Monitoring System:
Log In and Choose Setup System
a. From the Main Menu, use the arrows
Control, then press Enter ↵ (see 6.1 - Login for help).
b. Enter your password at the Login screen.
c. From the System and Control Menu, use the arrows
choose Setup System, then press Enter ↵.
Select Setup Mapmode
d. From the Setup System Menu, shown at right, use the
arrows
e. Use the following instructions to set up the mapping of each zone.
Set Up Mapping for Zone 1 or Zone 2
f. Use the arrows
ZN2 Zone 2—from the Select Zone to Map Menu, and press
Enter ↵.
The Liqui-tect Monitoring System is now ready for you to short the
cable, as described in steps 3 through 6.
3. Select the first point to be mapped and mark it on the floor map as
point “X” (where X represents 1 for the first point, 2 for the second,
and so on, up to 254). Determine the exact location of the point by
measuring the distance from the panel to the point or otherwise
describing its location (for example, “at front of chiller”).
4. Wrap a damp paper towel or sponge around the selected point on
the cable to cause a short in the cable and trigger an alarm.
5. After about 30 seconds, the Liqui-tect panel annunciates a short beep. The LCD displays the
computed distance to the leak.
6. Remove the paper towel and dry the cable. In approximately 20 seconds, the Liqui-tect panel
annunciates a long beep indicating the short has been removed.
7. Go to the next point and repeat this process (steps 3 through 6) until the entire cable has been
mapped. Up to 254 points can be mapped.
When complete, press the ESC key on the LCD to exit mapping mode and return to the previous screen.

The View Last Map option allows you to review the mapped points
from the last mapping of a zone. This feature is the data logger for the
mapmode process described in the previous section, 6.7 - Setup Sys-
tem - Setup Mapmode.
In the View Last Map mode, the Liqui-tect panel shows the mapped
distance to a particular point along the leak detection cable, identifying each point with an entry number that corresponds to point “X”
(where X represents 1 for the first point, 2 for the second, and so on).
The user may view the entry number for point “X” and see the corresponding distance to that point. This may be used either to record that
distance on the floor map or to verify the distance already recorded on
the map.
When a leak occurs, the Liqui-tect Monitoring System displays the
distance of the leak. By referring to the final floor map, you can easily
determine the location of the leak.
To view the last map:
• From the Setup System Menu, shown at right, use the arrows
to
choose Setup Mapmode and press Enter ↵.
• Use the arrows
to Map Menu, and press Enter ↵.
(If no points have been mapped, the screen displays a message, as
shown below right.)
• If you haven’t already done so, record the distance for each point
on the final floor map next to the respective positions of each short
labeled “X” (for points 1, 2, 3 and so on as described in step 3 in the
previous section).
