RLE Technologies’ distance-read leak detection controllers are effective at detecting leaks on up to 10,000 feet of RLE leak detection cable. The accuracy of the reported leak distance can be problematic when leak detection cables (sensing cables) shorter than 25 feet are used. At cable lengths of 10 feet (3.048 m), for example, the resistance … Continued
Previously, we discussed how to secure SeaHawk leak detection cable, or sensing cable, to floors and other surfaces (see Securing SeaHawk Leak Detection Cable to Floors). Another important tip is to be careful when installing the cable near air conditioners. Condensation can cause false leak alarms. If the cable must be installed near an air … Continued

If you have a Falcon FMS or F-Series monitoring system that is not reading data correctly (e.g., temperature of humidity), you may want to adjust the displayed analog readings for temperature or humidity. When you do adjust the reading, be sure to adjust only the Offset reading: Never change the Gain. The Gain acts … Continued
While our patented sensing cable virtually eliminates false alarms from contamination, proper installation can further decrease the chances of false alarms. False alarms that signal a contamination or leak cause unnecessary hassle to the people who must respond to them. And like the story about the boy who cried wolf, false alarms can desensitize your … Continued
When you’re setting up a leak-detection system, you might overlook a simple but crucial component of that system: the power supply. Finding a cord to plug in your system sounds like a no-brainer, but be sure you choose an isolated power supply to avoid system errors. RLE can provide you with an appropriate power supply, … Continued
