Installation Supplies

Included with the LD5200

LD5200 controller in wall-mount enclosure
15 foot (4.57m) leader cable
End-of-line terminator (EOL)

A dedicated circuit breaker must be provided within
close proximity to the LD5200 and be clearly marked as
the LD5200’s disconnecting device. Engage a certied
electrician to run a 110 or 220 VAC power supply from a

dedicated circuit breaker (following all state and local electrical codes)

and conduit to the device to support your cabling needs.

Install the Sensing Cable

Leader cable is used to connect sensing cable to the LD5200,
since sensing cable cannot connect directly to the controller.

1. Insert the four stripped wires of the leader cable into the
appropriate slots in the 4-pin terminal block connector ­from left to right: white, black, green, and red. Tighten
the screws on the terminal block connector to secure the
leader cable. Thread the leader cable through a knockout
on the bottom of the enclosure and plug the terminal
block connector into TB2.

2. Unscrew the EOL from the end of the leader cable.

3. Attach the rst length of sensing cable to the leader cable.

4. Route the sensing cable according to your cable layout diagram.

5. Secure the EOL to the unoccupied end of the sensing cable.

Apply Power to the LD5200

1. Route the power supply through a knockout, into the enclosure, to the power
input terminal block. Insert the wires as noted on the enclosure’s backplate:
Neutral - Line- Ground. Ensure all connections are correct and the screw
terminals are tightened and secure.

2. Apply power. The device will boot. Once diagnostics are complete, the
LCD displays the Main Menu. No alarms should be present. If an alarm is
present, consult the Troubleshooting section of the LD5200 User Guide.

Available from RLE, Sold Separately

SeaHawk sensing cable - up to 10,000 feet (3048m) of conductive uid sensing
cable or 7,000 feet (2134m) of chemical sensing cable

Network Communications Information

Consult your IT administrator and determine the following LD5200 network
settings:

• IP Address _______________________________________________

• Subnet Mask _____________________________________________

• Default Gateway __________________________________________

Mount the Device

THE LD5200 is a wall mounted device. Use the included wall mount kit and
mount the controller in a convenient location. Once the unit is mounted on the
wall, carefully remove the appropriate knockouts from the enclosure.

Congure Communications

Use the LCD touch screen on the
front of the LD5200 to congure
communications.

1. Push the Setup button on the
LD5200’s LCD.

2. You’ll be prompted to enter a
password. By default, there is no
password congured. Leave the
password eld blank and press the
enter button.

3. Once you’ve accessed the Setup
Menu, press the Down button
until the System Settings option is
highlighted in blue. Press the Select
button to access the System Setup
Menu.

4. Push the Down button until the IP
address is highlighted. By default,
the IP address is 10.0.0.188. Press
the Select button to change the IP
address.

5. Use the backspace button to delete
the default address. Enter the new
IP address, as provided by your
network administrator. Press the
Enter button to apply the new IP address.

6. Scroll down to the Def Route and Net Mask and use the same method to edit
the Default Gateway and Subnet Mask information as necessary.

Test the System

If the LD5200 is already connected to a BMS or NMS, notify monitoring personnel
before you begin testing the system.

1. Using a sketch or mechanical drawing of the facility, add the cable routing,
connection points, and any accessories used. Record the distance marker
when the cable changes direction and in between connectors.

2. The more details you show, the greater the benet later when you are
locating leaks and troubleshooting the system

3. To verify the LD5200’s functionality, test three points within the length of

sensing cable - one at the beginning, one in the middle of the length, and
another near the end of the length of cable.

4. There are a variety of ways to simulate a leak.

• Pour a small puddle of water on the cable while it rests on the oor.

• Dunk the cable in a cup of water.

• Soak a paper towel or rag and wrap it loosely around the cable. This is
popular if the cable is used in pipe applications. Be careful to wrap the wet
cloth loosely around the cable. Do not put pressure on the cable.

IMPORTANT - To avoid inaccurate readings, do not grip the cable with your
hand.

5. Verify that the LD5200 reports the leaks within a few feet of their actual
physical location. If the leaks are reported in the approximate location, but
not precisely at the actual location of the leak, you may wish to calibrate the
system. Consult the LD5200 User Guide to calibrate the cable’s resistance,
which will provide the most accurate distance readings.

6. Remove all simulated leak sources and return the system to its normal
operating state.

7. To test the cable fault alarm, remove the end-of-line terminator (EOL) from
the end of the sensing cable. This will cause a cable break, which should
be reported appropriately by the LD5200. Once the cable break alarm
is veried, reapply the EOL and ensure the system returns to its normal
operating state.
