Water detection system

The Floodline MultiZone control panel from Andel is an advanced leak detection solution for water, oil, and gas systems. The wall‑mounted panel is available in configurations with 1, 4, 8, or even 16 zones and provides continuous, reliable monitoring of multiple detection zones simultaneously. The system is designed to support both installers and end users with modern technology and extensive functionality.

Each zone can consist of a single detection point or multiple water, oil, and gas sensors, including distance sensors up to 1500 metres that provide metre‑accurate detection. The network is continuously monitored for leaks and can also measure humidity and temperature per zone. This makes the system highly versatile and easily adaptable to a wide range of applications.

The zones operate completely independently and are displayed separately. As a result, the panel can accurately register and report simultaneous or sequential alarms per zone. When an alarm occurs in one zone, the remaining zones remain fully operational, ensuring reliable and continuous leak detection throughout the entire system.

Technical advice

A robust heating cable

The robust Multi-8 detection cable from Andel meets strict fire, smoke, and halogen tests and is a water‑sensitive cable that enables precisely reporting leak detection down to one metre via a single cable. The zone transition points along the cable are created using conservative 8‑zone junction boxes or Andel’s Plug & Play system.

The cable is available in various lengths to provide the required coverage, typically between 3 and 15 metres, and can be extended up to 1500 metres using an easy click‑connection.

The sensor can be wetted and dried an unlimited number of times, provided the cable is not contaminated with a substance that permanently alters its electrical properties. If the contamination is soluble, the cable can be removed, washed (with clean water only), dried, and depending on the degree of contamination put back into service.

The cable is available in various lengths to provide the desired coverage, typically between 5 and 15 meters.

The sensor can be wet and dried an unlimited number of times, provided that the cable is not contaminated with a substance that permanently alters its electrical properties. If the contamination is soluble, the cable can be removed, washed (with clean water only), dried and, depending on the degree of contamination, put back into use.

Operation

The cable features a fine, multilayer cellulose outer sheath that absorbs liquid into the detection cores, enabling the system to respond to the smallest amount of water, conductive fluid, or condensation. The Multi‑8 high‑sensitivity detection cable provides visual confirmation of where and when the cable becomes wet.

A single cable provides coverage from 3 up to a maximum of 1500 metres. The cable is available in any required length to achieve the largest possible coverage area, typically between 3 and 15 metres, or custom‑made.

The cable can be attached to the underside of pipes, inside or outside insulation, laid in drip trays and containment channels, and fixed to roof edges and ceilings. The cable is activated by contact with a conductive liquid anywhere along its entire length. It can be wetted and dried an unlimited number of times and then put back into service.
