Sensing and non-sensing cables are designed for use with Zone and
Distance Read panels. The sensing cables detect the presence of
detectable liquid, and send a signal to the panel. The panel generates
an alarm and pinpoints the location of the leak or spill along the cable’s
length. Sensing cables are designed for high accuracy and maximum
reliability.
SC water detection cable senses the presence of water or other
conductive fluid. SC-C chemical sensing cable detects the presence of
chemicals (see Specifications for list).
NSC non-sensing cable is used to extend the control panel’s leader
cable to an area where SC detection cable is needed. It also bridges
lengths of SC detection cable in areas where sensing is not required.
Invisible to the control panel, the non-sensing cable does not affect the
accuracy of readings or limit the amount of detection cable that can
be connected to a control panel. NSC cables are only compatible with
systems using SC water detection cables.
All cables are highly flexible, durable, and kink-resistant. They lie flat
after installation, and are abrasion resistant. The cables are plenum
rated and UL Listed, making them ideal for use under raised floors and
areas where plenum rated cable is required. Choose a pre-specified
cable length or a custom length for your convenience and installation
flexibility.
