R TraceTek Leak DetectionProduct Selection Guide for Industrialand Environmental Applications

I. Types of SystemsTraceTek leak detection is based on asimple operating principle, which makesseveral different types of systems possible.

The different types of TraceTek alarmmodules all trigger an alarm if liquid contactssensing cable connected to the module.

However, each type of system has characteristics advantageous for differentapplications and layouts.

Locating System- Can monitor one or more large areas or

lengths.- Indicates leak location with its digital

display; pinpoints the distance, not justthe area.

- Is extremely useful for concealed or inac-cessible areas, such as double-containedpipes, covered trenches, and subfloors.

- Integrates separate equipment or areasinto a single sensing circuit, thus reduc-ing field-wiring costs significantly.

Multiple-Channel Alarm System- Independently monitors as many as

12 discrete channels; displays status ofeach channel separately.

- Identifies any channel with a leak, butdoes not indicate distance to the leak.

- Uses common alarm and relay contactsfor all channels.

- Is well suited to tank and sump applications.

Single-Channel Alarm System- Provides coverage for single small areas.- Is cost-effective for small installations.- Provides an independent system for a

separate area or operation.- Is useful for separate alarm annuncia-

tion or direct equipment control.

Drawingsnot to scale.

Separate wiringfor each channel.

Up to 100 ft (30 m) of sensing cable per channel.

Virtually no limit to the amount of non-sensing jumper cable.

Up to 100 ft (30 m) of sensing cable.


Up to 5000 ft (1500 m) of sensing cable per locating module.

Can have branches upon branches, limited only by length of sensing circuit.

All systems may use multiple types of sensing cable in a single sensing circuit.

II. Determining the Monitoring Approach

Geometry/layoutApplication geometry is key in determining the type of alarm moduleand number of units to use. Aspects ofthe application layout to consider includesize (length or area), separation (thenumber of separate pipes or areas), andaccessibility.

ResponseWhen a leak occurs, consider how yourorganization must respond. If different groupsare responsible for different equipment,systems, or areas, use separate TraceTekalarm modules to make ownership clear.

If you plan to use a TraceTek alarm modulefor direct equipment control (for example, toclose a valve when a leak is detected),select a module with relay logic that willprovide the desired operation, and useseparate modules to control separateequipment.

Liquids to detectDifferent types of TraceTek sensing cablesare available to detect different types of liq-uids, as summarized in Table 2. To select asensing cable to detect a liquid not men-tioned in Table 2 or the product data sheets,call Raychem for assistance. The sensingcables listed are compatible with all of thealarm modules, and multiple types of cablesmay be used in a single sensing circuit.

RisksWhen deciding on the leak detection coverage for your application, take intoaccount the potential impact of a leak orspill, which could include injury, damage,cleanup costs, downtime, and liability. Alsoconsider the likelihood of leaks or spills,which depends heavily on applicationspecifics, such as the degree of exposureand the nature of the operations (thematerials handled, level of activity, maintenance practices).

Hazardous locationsIf handling flammables, select TraceTekalarm modules and a system layout thatwill meet the approval requirements foryour hazardous locations.

Determining the monitoring approachfor leak detection means making threekey choices about scope:

• Areas or operations to have separate alarm and/or control

• Types of systems (see Table 1 fordetails on the different types ofTraceTek alarm modules).

• Extent of leak detection coverage

When deciding, consider these important aspects of your application:the geometry, the response required toan alarm, the liquids to be detected,and the risks involved.

TT5001TraceTek Solvent-Sensing Cable

TraceTek TT5001 sensing cable detects liq-uid organic solvents anywhere along itslength, but does not react to the presenceof water. Installed with a TraceTek alarmand locating module, the cable senses theliquid, triggers an alarm, and pinpoints thelocation of the leak.

Distributed sensing

TraceTek TT5001 sensing cable providesdistributed leak detection and location for awide range of applications. Cable lengthscan be arranged to provide as much cover-age as necessary.

Design flexibility

The TT5001 sensing cable is available ina variety of lengths with factory-installedconnectors. These modular sensingcables may be connected in series to pro-vide distributed monitoring for trenches,

subfloors, and double-containment piping,or used individually for double-contain-ment tanks, sumps, and small areas.TT5001 zone sensing cable—whichcomes with a factory-installed heat-shrinkend termination—is also available forsmall area coverage.

Advanced technology

Raychem’s radiation-crosslinking and con-ductive-polymer technologies are used tomake TraceTek TT5001 sensing cablemechanically strong and chemically resis-tant. The core of the cable is constructed oftwo sensing wires, an alarm signal wire, anda continuity wire. The core is encased in aconductive-polymer jacket and surroundedwith a fluoropolymer braid. This rugged con-struction allows the cable to perform well,even in demanding environments.

Easy setup and simple operationThe TTA-SIM has been designed for use with TraceTek sensing cables, point sensors and normally open, dry contact devices (fl oat switch, pressure or vacuum switch, optical probe with adapter, limit switch, etc.). Up to 150 m (500 ft) of sensor cable can be monitored by the TTA-SIM.

When liquid is detected, the unit indicates the leak with an LED and audible alarm, and switches a relay to provide local voltage-free contact closure. The leak location is measured and can be communicated to a host monitoring system. With the TTA-SIM-2 option, the leak location is displayed on a built-in LCD readout. No fi eld calibration is required.

The TTA-SIM can be used as a stand-alone leak detection alarm unit, or it can be installated in networks with other TraceTek TTA-SIM, TTSIM, TT-NRM or TTDM-128 modules. The TTA-SIM can be confi gured using a Microsoft Windows™ based PC or a TraceTek TTDM-128 network master module.

Design Features• Rugged polycarbonate enclosure for tough environments.• 60 dB Audible alarm with silence button.• Voltage-free contacts for alarm signaling.• LED’s to indicate power, leak, cable trouble, and communication

status.• Optional LCD leak location display.• Simple twisted shielded pair serial RS-485 communications using.

a variety of communication protocols (protocol selection is auto-matic).

Easy setup and simple operation

The TTDM-128 module directly monitors up to 1500 m (5000 ft) of

sensor cable and a network of up to 128 remote TraceTek modules.

The remote modules may be a combination of sensor interface

modules (TTSIM), relay modules (TT-NRM) or additional TTDM-128

modules. With its networking capability, the TTDM-128 provides

tremendous fl exibility in terms of system layout options and monitoring

capability.

When liquid is detected on any of the sensors, the TTDM-128

sounds an alarm, closes relay contacts, turns on a front panel LED

and displays the circuit identifi cation and location of the leak on the

alphanumeric display. The leak detection event is logged to a non-

volatile event history fi le. All status and event information is made

available via the front panel keyboard or RS232/RS485 modbus

digital communication to a host computer, PLC or plant/building

automation system.

Each sensor circuit detects, locates and tracks leaks independently

from any other circuits connected to the TTDM-128. There is no

loss of sensitivity and no re-mapping required after an initial leak is

detected. A simple map showing where the sensors are installed is

the only fi eld calibration requirement.

Design Features

• Multiple event tracking capability for up to 128 independent sensor

circuits.

• Summary relay contacts, LED status lights, LCD information display

at the TTDM-128 panel.

• Standard external interface modes include: dry contacts, and

RS232/RS485 modbus communication. A 4-20 mA analog output

option is available.

• Event history accessible from the front panel or via serial port to

identify type of event, time, location, and other parameters for all

sensor events or user adjustments and interventions.

• Layered password protection for setup changes.

• Adjustable sensitivity and selectable measurement units.

• Universal power supply for 120/240 Vac 50/60 Hz (24 volt option

available).

• Non-volatile memory for event history, setup and network

confi guration.

• Complete remote operation and monitoring through modbus

communications or using optional TT-SUPERVISOR Windows

software.

DescriptionThe TraceTek TT-NRM Network Relay Module provides the capability to add up to 320 individual alarm relays to a TraceTek TTDM-PLUS / TTSIM leak detection network. The TT-NRM communicates with the TTDM-PLUS via the same RS-485 network used for TTSIMs. The TT-NRM can be installed in a wide variety of configurations, allowing many leak detection system layout possibilities.

ExpandableThe TT-NRM is supplied as a base unit (with power supply, communications interface, DIN rail and end blocks) and separate relay modules. Each relay module contains 2 independently addressable relays. Up to 16 relay modules can be installed on each base unit, and up to 10 base units can be connected to a single TTDM-PLUS. The leak detection network can be expanded at any time with minimal effort.

VersatileThe TT-NRM can be installed in large panels, or wall mounted in its own optional enclosure. TT-NRMs can be centrally located with the TTDM-PLUS, or distributed throughout the leak detection network to minimize wiring costs. The TT-NRM can be used to operate valves, control audible or visual alarms, or interface with other control systems.

The TraceTek TTC module offers a lowcost option for liquid leak detection. It isdesigned for use with any TraceTek sens-ing cable, and can be integrated into avariety of monitoring systems. The TTCmodule includes three sets of relay con-tacts which can be used for remoteannunciation and equipment control. Aremote annunciation device is available.

Easy setupAll field wiring connections are easilymade to a terminal strip molded into thebase of the module. The module can beinstalled to reset automatically when thesensing cable dries following a leak, orto require a manual reset using the but-ton provided. The TTC module includesadjustments for sensitivity to leaks, and

for the time delay before the leak alarmrelay trips. These adjustments can bemade in the field.

Versatile designThe TTC module provides separaterelays for leak alarms and troublealarms. The Leak relay has two sets ofcontacts so it can be used both toannunciate the alarm, and to providedirect control linkage to local devices.However, the system is not designed forconstant switching applications. TheCable Break alarm monitors the integrityof sensing cable and jumper cable, andwill trip if continuity is lost. This troublerelay is normally energized, so it will alsosignal if there is a loss of power.

The TTC module may be installed innon-hazardous indoor locations. Its smallsize allows for mounting in or on walls,or on DIN 1 rail systems.

ApplicationsThe TTC is ideally suited to be simplyintegrated into centralized monitoringsystems for large facilities. Typical appli-cations include monitoring for leaks fromindividual pieces of equipment such asair-handling units, water-cooled machin-ery, single tanks, pumps, sumps, orother locations where a single length ofTraceTek sensing cable is used.

TraceTek Sensing Circuit

Leak Detection

The sensing cable has two insulatedwires and two conductive polymer coatedelectrodes.

A small DC voltage (5-9 volts) is appliedto the sensing cable, and internalresistors limit the current flow through thesensor cable loops to approximately 75microamps. The actual amount of currentflowing is monitored by measuring thevoltage drop (V1) across an internalreference resistor.

If a spill occurs, additional current willseek the path of least resistance and flowacross the leak. This results in increasedcurrent flow through the referenceresistor. The resultant increased voltagedrop across the reference resistor signalsthe module to turn on the alarm.

Continuity Monitoring

If the cable is broken, no current will flowin the loop. The voltage across thereference resistor decreases to zero andthe internal circuitry recognizes this as acontinuity fault.

Leak Location

After a leak has been detected, thecircuitry in the module is automaticallyreconfigured into the locating mode.

The digital readout of the location isgenerated by measuring the voltage dropalong the sensing cable between the leakand the module. The voltage drop islinear and proportional to the leaklocation. A different scaling factor isapplied for feet, meters, or zones.

Leak detection is accomplished by monitoring thevoltage across an internal reference resistor.

Leak location is determined by measuring voltagedrop along the cable from the module to the leak.

Operating Principles for LeakDetection and Locating Systems

Zener Safety Barrier Application Guide

Background TraceTek alarm and locating modules carry a variety of approvals, including Underwriters’ Laboratory, Inc.(UL), Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and FM Approvals (FM), for use in ordinary areas. Some TraceTek alarm and locating modules are approved for installation in hazardous locations (refer to module data sheets for details). However, when the sensing cable is to be installed in a hazardous area, particularly Class I Division 1 or Zone 0/1 locations, a protective device such as a zener safety barrier may be required between the alarm module and the sensing cable that it monitors. (The TTG and TTA alarm modules are approved for use with cables in Class I Division 1 areas without additional zener barriers.)

The safety barrier assures that, even if the TraceTek module suffers a multiple failure, the energy transferred to the sensing cable (and thus to the hazardous area) will remain below explosive ignition levels, thus reducing the risk of fire or explosion.

Because the TraceTek system uses very low voltage and current levels, and because the sensing cable is a simple passive device, readily available commercial safety barriers can accomplish the required isolation.

Application Specifics

Several manufacturers produce zener safety barriers. TraceTek has standardized on the MTL-7167+ model manufactured by MTL Incorporated, which is approved and certified by UL, CSA, FM, BASEEFA and other agencies.

Each MTL-7167+ barrier is capable of isolating two wires. Because the TraceTek circuit requires four wires to connect the alarm module to the sensing cable, two of the MTL-7167+ barriers are necessary. The barriers can be purchased from TraceTek with the following catalog numbers:

TT-ZENER-BARRIER-DIN Two MTL-7167 barriers

TT-ZENER-BARRIER-KIT Two zener barriers, plus an enclosure, DIN rail and ground terminals

Impact on TraceTek System Performance

During all expected modes of TraceTek operation (normal monitoring, leak detection or cable break) each of the four barrier channels appears as a 135-ohm resistor in series between the alarm module and the sensing cable. This has two implications for the performance of the TraceTek system:

1. The MTL barrier will add 11 meters to the effective length of the TraceTek sensor cable. All mapped distances and actual leak locations (locating alarm units only) will be affected by the presence of the barrier. The additional length should also be taken into consideration when determining circuit lengths.

2. On locating alarm units, the cable test length readout, will show a reading of about 21 meters more than it would have if the zener barrier were not installed. For instance, if 150 meters of actual sensing cable is installed, the cable test length readout will show approximately 171 meters or slightly more. The additional 21 meters added to the test length readout is a good indication that the zener barrier is correctly installed. Refer to the locating module’s operating instructions for details regarding adjustments to compensate for the barrier resistance.

Other Applications

Review the alarm/locating module data sheets and installation instructions for specific information regarding each module’s hazardous area ratings and approvals. If the existing approval is not acceptable to the local authorities, MTL-7167+ zener safety barriers can be installed with any TraceTek module as an extra precaution.

Installation and Wiring

Below is a typical wiring diagram for using MTL-7167+ barriers with TraceTek alarm and location modules. Please refer to the specific data sheets and installation instructions of the module you are installing for further details.
