Six Zones of Leak Detection
The LDRA6 accommodates six inputs that can be configured for zone water detection or as remote alarm annunciators. An LDRA6 can monitor for both leaks & alarms generated by networked equipment.
As a zone leak detection solution, the LDRA6 is compatible with SeaHawk sensing cables and SeaHawk SD-Z & SD-Z1 spot detectors. This allows the LDRA6 to detect the presence of water, conductive fluids, and chemicals. When a leak is detected, the LDRA6 annunciates an alarm for the corresponding zone.
Each of the LDRA6’s six zones can accommodate up to 1,000 feet (305m) of sensing cable or one or more spot detectors. One leader cable is required for EACH ZONE of leak detection.
Remote Alarm Annunciation
As a remote alarm status panel, each of the inputs can be configured to relay and annunciate alarms from equipment and sensors that provide a digital dry contact signal. Common inputs to the LDRA6 include HVAC units, power distribution devices (PDU), uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and generator summary/alarm contacts.
In addition to a panel summary relay output, each input has a unique relay output.
The LDRA6’s Modbus capabilities allow it to communicate with other Modbus-compatible devices.
Make Sure You Have An Isolated Power Supply!
RLE leak detection controllers, including the LDRA6, require an isolated power supply. A power supply is not included with the LDRA6. Purchase an RLE power supply – PSWA-DC-24 or 24V-POE-Kit.

Key Features
- Monitor up to 1000 feet (305 meters) of leak detection sensing cable and/or spot detectors per zone; 6000 feet (1830 meters) total,
- The LDRA6 fully integrates with RLE’s family of leak detection cables. One controller can monitor an area for both water and chemical leaks with our distinct leak detection cables.
- Create a unique combination of zone leak detection and dry contact alarm annunication
- Adjustable leak thresholds fine-tune the system
- Supervised inputs monitor cable for breaks and contamination
- Form C relay output for each input enables communication with BMS/NMS/BAS via Modbus RTU (EIA-485)
- One tri-color notification LED per input, and one audible alarm
