DLC-50 - Roll of Cable 50’
DLC-100 - Roll of Cable 100’
General Description
The DLC Series water leak detection
cable consists of 1/4” diameter, 4 wire,
insulated bundle. It is available in two
pre-packaged lengths of 50’ and 100’.
The cable assembly has factory installed
connectors making it easy to connect
consecutive sections to achieve the
desired length. The DLC cable is very
strong and can be pulled into place without the risk of damage. The orange color
makes it easy to locate in difficult-to-see
areas. The special insulation allows the

cable to produce accurate distance readings,
regardless of conductivity of the fluid. Even
distilled water will produce an alarm. This
special coating, when combined with
AquaALERT’s traditional AC supervision,
virtually eliminates galvanic corrosion
(electrolysis).
Routing
For the cable to be effective, it must come in contact with the leaking water. Route the cable
around -or adjacent to- the likely source of potential leakage. Use the cable as a barrier
between the source of a leak and the protected area. Make sure to maintain at least six feet
from any HVAC downdraft. Water droplets from the cooling coils as well as moisture from
the humidifiers can cause false alarms. When there are many sources for potential leakage,
consider arranging the cable in a “serpentine” pattern. Starting at the DLS annunciator, wind
the cable back and forth, spacing each run 5’ to 10’ apart, ending on the other side of the
room.
Installing the Cable
Keep the cable rolled-up until ready to install. Do NOT allow the cable to become kinked as
it is pulled into place. Secure the cable to the floor using self-stick cable clamps every five
feet. Add sections of cable as required for total length. Use a cable on each side of the connectors, leaving a little slack for future service. Install the EOL device at the end of the last
section.
