INTRODUCTION
The LIQUI-SENSE Controller is a two-channel alarm system used to sense
liquid leaks using a specially designed detector or used with other liquid
detectors such as high or low liquid level detectors. The Model 77096-00
LIQUI-SENSE Controller operates from 115V AC and the Model 77096-05
operatesfrom230VAC.Whenanalarm condition issensed on eitherchannel,
the LIQUI-SENSE Controller can perform the following actions:
• Disconnect power to a pump drive.
• Activate an auxiliary pump drive to resume pumping through a second
pump drive.
• Activate the front panel red ALARM ON indicator .
• Sound an audible alarm if the audiblealarm is enabled.
• Provide a contact closure output that can be used to activate an
Environment Monitor for automatically telephoning the user of the f ailure ,
or to activate any other device that operates from a contact closure input.
The contact closure may also be used to operate shut-off or switchable
valves to redirect flow.
The LIQUI-SENSE Detector Model 77095-00 (detector with cable) or Model
77095-01 (detector without cable) is used to sense leaks in pump heads
resultingfrom ruptures of thetubing.This detectoris notsuppliedwith theunit
and must be ordered separately. (See ACCESSORIES.)

APPLICATIONS
The LIQUI-SENSE Controller and LIQUI-SENSE Detector can be used with
a wide variety of different pump systems for leak detection. The alarm
controller has two inputs. These can both be used with LIQUI-SENSE
Detectors, or one input can be used with a LIQUI-SENSE Detector and the
second inputused with other typedetectors such asa liquidleveldetector for
determininghigh orlowlevelsina container.Figures 1through5show various
suggested detector arrangements in different pump systems. Tubing is
omitted for clarity.

DESCRIPTION
The LIQUI-SENSE Controller, shown in Figure 6, is used to monitor various
liquid detector devices. When an alarm condition is detected, the controller
deactivates the rear panel MAIN OUTPUT power connector and supplies
power to the AUXILIARY OUTPUT power connector .Also, when the alarm
condition is detected, a contact closure output is provided at the rear panel
CONTACT CLOSURE OUTPUT connector (a 1/8-inch phone-type
connector) for activating remote devices such as an Environment Monitor or
a second pump drive. The fault condition is indicated by a red ALARM ON
indicator on the front panel and by an audible alarm (unless the ALARM
AUDIBLE switchhas been set to OFF).
Figure6. LIQUI-SENSE Controller (Alarm Module)
The MAIN and AUXILIARY connectors, shown in Figures 7 and 8, are used
to connect to external devices such as pumps. The pump connected to the
MAIN OUTPUTconnector willoperate whenno alarmcondition exists.When
an alarm condition is detected, power to the MAIN OUTPUT connector is
turned off and power isapplied tothe AUXILIARY OUTPUT connector.Thus,
if nopump is connectedto the AUXILIARY OUTPUTconnector, pumpingwill
cease. If a pump is connected to the AUXILIARY OUTPUT connector, that
pump will be turned on. The switch over occurs within one second after
detection of an alarm condition.

Poweris applied to the unit through a permanently attached line cord on the
115V AC model and through an IEC 320/CEE 22 connector coupler (female
line cord/male socket) on the 230V AC units. A number of accessory input
and output power cords are av ai lab l e .(See ACCESSORIES.) The power is
controlled by the rear panel OFF-ON switch.Power-onis indicated by a front
panel green POWER ON indicator.
The CONTACT CLOSURE OUTPUT connector (rear panel) provides a
latched contact closure output, rated 30V DC at 1 ampere max., when an
alarm conditionis detected.This output can be connectedto an Environment
Monitor,which thencan telephonethe userto signalthe alarm condition.This
output can also be connected to any device that operates from a contact
closure condition, such as a warning system. An accessory cable is listed in
the ACCESSORIES Section.

The locking modular INPUT connectors (front panel) connect to external
detectors. Each input has a SENSITIVITY adjustment that is used only with
the LIQUI-SENSE Detectors. The sensitivity is factory set so that when the
detector is placed within one inch of the pump, less than one mL of
water-based liquid will trigger the detector. For other types of liquids, or to
change the sensitivity level, refer to the SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT
Section. Sensitivity adjustment may be required when operating with cables
longer than 3-1/2 feet or in a high-temperature, high-humidity environment.
TheLIQUI-SENSE Controllerishoused ina slate grayABSplastic enclosure,
with aluminumfront andrear panels.Theunit can beplaced ona flatsurface,
on asupport platformor on thetop surface ofsome MASTERFLEX
type pumps.
TheLIQUI-SENSE DetectorModel 77095-00(with cable)orModel 77095-01
(without cable), Figure 9, operates on a capacitance change principle. The
detectoris designedtobe placedunderthe pump.Ifa leakoccursin thepump
tubing, the liquid will fall on the top surface of the detector. When sufficient
surface area is moistened (less than 1 mL of water-based liquid when using
the factory sensitivity setting), the change in capacitance is sufficient to
activatethealarmcircuits.Thedetectorhas a lockingmodulartypeconnector.
The cable between the detector and the controller is 3-1/2 feet long with
modularlocking connectorson bothends.Ten-foot andfifteen-footaccessory
cablesare available.Refer toAPPENDIX Aforpinconfiguration forthecables
when connecting other detector types.

Startup Procedure
1. Check that all connections have been made as described in the
INSTALLATION Section.
2. Check that detectors are connected and properly positioned. Only one
detector can be connected to each channel. Use hook-and-loop fabric
fasteners to secure detector in position or, if permanent mounting is
desired, detector can be attached with #4 screws as described in the
INSTALLATION Section.
NOTE: Tubing may break at locations other than expected.Using a second
detector can provide for better detection.
3. If theaudible alarm isto operate, set ALARMAUDIBLE switchto theON
position. If no audible alarm is desired, place ALARM AUDIBLE switch
in the OFF position.
4. Set rear panel power OFF-ON switch to the ON position and check that
the front panel green POWER ON indicator is lit. The equipment should
now be operating normally.
5. Ifan alarmconditionexists,proceed totheSENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT

LIQUI-SENSE DETECTOR SENSITIVITY CHECK
The LIQUI-SENSE Detector sensitivitymay be checkedas follows:
1. Connect detector to one of the front panel INPUT connectors, if not
already connected.
2. Place water one drop at a time on the detector pad. Do not drop water
from more than one inch.
3. Check numberofdrops requiredto activate alarm.Pre-setfactory setting
should activate alarm with less than 1 mL of liquid. If activation level is
not as desired, refer to SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT Section.
4. Afteractivatingalarm,momentarilypressthenreleasetheRESETbutton.
Alarm condition should still be present.
5. Wipe detectorsurfaceclean withadry cloth andmomentarily press,then
release, the RESET button. Alarm condition should terminate, ALARM
ON indicator should extinguish and, if activated, audible alarm should
turn off.
SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT
Generally, no sensitivity adjustment of the LIQUI-SENSE Controller is
required. However, various liquids or environmental conditions such as
temperature and humidity may require adjustment of the SENSITIVITY
controls for use with the LIQUI-SENSE Detectors. The SENSITIVITY
adjustment is accessed through the small hole adjacent to each INPUT
connector.Contact closure or logic level detectors do not requireadjustment
of theSENSITIVITYcontrol.
If the factory default setting for sensitivity is not activating the alarm, or is
falsely activating the alarm for the liquid being sensed, adjust the input
sensitivity with one channel connected at a time. Turn the SENSITIVITY
control clockwise to increase sensitivity (fewer drops will activate) or
counterclockwise to decrease sensitivity.
NOTE: If the sensitivity is increased so much that the red ALARM ON
indicator illuminates, the RESET button must be depressed each
time sensitivity is decreased until the indicator extingui shes.
Normal sensitivity adjustment is between one-quarter and two turns
counterclockwise from the activation point.The activation point is defined as
that sensitivity set when ALARM ON indicatorjust illuminates.Refer to Table
1fortypicalsensitivitysettings f orvarious liquids.Themiddlecolumnindicates
the number of turns counterclockwise from the activation point that the

the quantity of fluid required in the target area of the detector to activate the
detector.
Sensitivity will change with detector position or when used near metallic
objects (e.g., table). Also, sensitivity changes when using longer (optional)
cables.

White
For level detector (sensors) connections,cut off one endof the sixconductor
flat cable, or cut the cable in half, if using longer cables, to make two pieces.
Strip the shield (metal) and plastic jacket back two inches.Spread the wires.
Strip back one inch of the black wire, pin 1, and white wire, pin 2. Fold the
other wires back along the plastic jacket and tape or cut off as desired.Twist
one lead of the level detector to t he black lead of the cable, pin 1, and twist
the otherlead of theleveldetector to thewhite lead ofthe cable,pin 2.Solder
the two connections together or use a wire nut if possible. Tape around
exposed bare wire areas.
