The 1-Zone Flood Alarm is a radio transmitter connected to a highly responsive flood detection cable. This cable can be run along key areas enabling rapid notification of water leakage before serious damage is done.
The flood cable consists of eight cores wrapped around a central strain relief plastic core to provide some rigidity. Of the eight cores, two are the conductors. These are uninsulated copper so, if the cable is wetted, they short and provide an alarm signal. The cable is sheathed in a black plastic overbraid to keep the cores in place and prevent the conductors shorting on any metal surfaces the cable may run over.
