CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION
3-1 BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The LDRA6 is a wall mounted device. To secure the device to the wall, first open the door of the
enclosure. There are knockouts on the top and bottom of the enclosure. Remove as many as necessary.
Use drywall anchors and the holes in the back of the enclosure to secure the unit to the wall.
3-2 CONNECTING THE WATER LEAK DETECTION CABLE
A leader cable kit (part #LC-KIT) is required per zone to connect the LDRA6 to SeaHawk Leak Detection
Cable (SC). A leader cable is included in each LC-KIT; one end of this leader cable connects into the
LDRA6. This end of the cable is finished with stripped, bare wires. The other end features a mating
connector which connects with the SC cable. The end of the cable zone requires a removable end
terminator (EOL) which is also included in a leader cable kit (LC-KIT).
To connect the leader cable to the LDRA6, connect the wires (4) to the appropriate zone position of the
terminal block connectors (see section 2-1.3 for more wiring details). Adjust the appropriate zone
configuration for Leak Detection input (see section 2-4 for more details).
Once the leader cable is plugged into the terminal block, it is ready to be connected to the SC cable. To do
this, unscrew the EOL terminator from the end of the leader cable. Attach the first length of SC cable to
the leader cable. Route the SC cable according to the cable layout diagram, if provided. Lay the cable
according to figure 3-1 and section 3-2.1. Secure the EOL terminator on the unoccupied end of the SC
cable.

3-2.1 Secure the Cable to the Floor
Secure the cable to the floor with either J-clips (part #JC) or one of the other approved methods shown in
Figure 3-2. J-clips are the manufacturer’s recommended installation method.
Place one J-clip every three feet along the length of the SC cable. Place one J-clip at each turn of
the cable.
NOTE
:
A Leader Cable Kit (part #LC-KIT) is required per zone to connect the LDRA6 to
SeaHawk Leak Detection Cable (SC). Each LC-KIT includes a 15 foot (4.57m) leader
cable and an EOL terminator. The kits are NOT included with the LDRA6, and can
be purchased separately.
