Capable of accommodating up to 10,000 feet (3048m) of sensing cable, the SeaHawk 10K has an audible alarm and can communicate via Modbus. As a stand-alone solution, the SeaHawk 10K provides alarm notification and numeric distances on its front panel.

Product Overview User Configuration and Communication The SeaHawk 10K’s front panel display – which includes a four-digit LED panel and six LED indicators – provides information about its status, including the following: Leak detected Cable fault detected Power status Configured unit of measure Leak detection cable’s amperage value...
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection 2.2. Physical Connection Overview The SeaHawk 10K contains two circuit boards: The top circuit board houses operational controls and displays. SeaHawk 10K operational information is found in Chapter 3. The lower circuit board houses the connectors for: –...
2.3. Mount the SeaHawk 10K The SeaHawk 10K can be mounted inside a panel or on a DIN rail. The device has two adjustable orange clips on the bottom. Push the clips out to expose two screw holes that allow the device to be mounted in a panel;...
DIP Switch 5, SW1 - Latched or Unlatched Alarms 2.4.2 TB2: Leader Cable A 15-foot (4.57m) section of non-sensing leader cable is supplied with each SeaHawk 10K. The leader cable connects sensing cable to the SeaHawk 10K, since sensing cable cannot connect directly to the unit.
Do not connect 120/230 VAC to the unit, or damage will occur to the circuitry. Run a power supply to the location of the SeaHawk 10K, or use a DIN rail mountable power supply and mount it next to the SeaHawk 10K.
Installation and Configuration A grounded shield contact is provided for connection to shielded cable. If the shield contact is used, verify the power connector is properly grounded and there is no voltage potential between units on the Modbus network. Figure 2.10 TB3 and TB4 Power Supply and Modbus Connections Set the baud rate for the EIA-485 port using DIP switches 1 and 2 on SW1: Figure 2.11...
2.5.2 Set the Re-Alarm Interval The SeaHawk 10K can be set to re-alarm – after a leak or cable fault has been detected, the alarm will be re-sent at a designated interval until the alarm condition has been resolved. This re-alarm triggers both the audible alarm and the Modbus register 30001 readout.
Attach the first length of sensing cable to the leader cable. Insert the male pins into the female connector, and twist the collar on the female side of the connector to secure. Figure 2.15 SeaHawk Sensing Cable Route the sensing cable according to your cable layout diagram. Attach additional lengths of sensing cable as necessary.
ARNING Do not connect 120/230 VAC to the unit, or damage will occur to the circuitry. An isolated power supply was run and power was connected to the SeaHawk 10K in Section 2.4.3 on page Ensure all connections are correct and all screw terminals are secure.
Installation and Configuration 2.8. Test the System If the SeaHawk 10K is already connected to a BMS or NMS, notify monitoring personnel Note before you begin testing the system. To verify the SeaHawk 10K’s accuracy, test three points within the length of sensing cable - one at the beginning, one in the middle of the length, and another near the end of the length of cable.
3.1. Front Panel Controls and Display The front panel of the SeaHawk 10K contains a 4-character LED and series of colored LEDs that are used together to convey device status and information regarding detected leaks and cable faults. A blue button is used to cycle the 4-character LED, silence the audible alarm, and reset the alarm.
Operation Table 3.1 Front Panel Controls and Displays Front Panel Indicator Symbol Description • 4-character LED System is running in its normal operating state. SH10 • A leak, fault, or contamination has been detected. The numerical (e.g.) distance to the leak displays on the LED. A green LED lights next to the appropriate distance measurement, and either the LED next to the water drop glows red to indicate a leak, or the LED next to the wrench glows yellow to indicate cable contamination.
Operation 3.2. Manage Alarms General Guidelines If the audible alarm sounds, briefly press the Test/Reset button to silence it. Look at the display, or read the appropriate Modbus register, to determine the type of alarm and the distance to the leak, contamination, or cable break. If you have a leak detection reference map, cross-reference the distance with the map.
4.1.1.2 Function Field The function field is one byte in length and tells the SeaHawk 10K which function to perform. Functions are 03 (Read 4xxxx output registers) and 04 (Read 3xxxx input registers) are supported by the SeaHawk 10K.
4.1.1.5 5-1.2 Exception Responses If a Modbus master sends an invalid command to the SeaHawk 10K or attempts to read an invalid register, an exception response is generated. The response packet will have the high order bit of the function code set to one. The data field of the exception response contains the exception error code.
Packet Communications for the SeaHawk 10K 4.2.1 Function 03: Read Output Registers To read the SeaHawk 10K parameter values, the master must send a Read Output Registers request packet. The Read Output Registers request packet specifies a start register and the number of registers to read.

Modbus Communication 4.2.2 Function 04: Read Input Registers To read the SeaHawk 10K input values, the master must send a Read Input Registers request packet. The Read Input Registers request packet specifies a start register and the number of registers to read.
Modbus Communication 4.3. RTU Framing The example below shows a typical Query/Response from an SeaHawk 10K module. Table 4.7 Response Sample Register Register Register Slave Function Count Bytes Data Data Data Address Code of Data “Lsb” “Msb” Slave address 2 responds to Function Code 4 with six bytes of hexadecimal data and ends with CRC16 checksum.
4.4. Calibrate Cable Length via Modbus The length of sensing cable connected to the SeaHawk 10K can be calibrated through a Modbus-enabled system. This helps fine-tune a distance-read leak detection system. If no alarms are present, follow these steps to calibrate and test the system: Set the SW1 DIP switches for the correct cable resistance per foot, as follows: Figure 4.1 DIP Switch Settings for Ohms/Foot...

AINTENANCE HAPTER Follow these steps monthly to test the SeaHawk 10K and ensure that the device is functioning properly. If your SeaHawk 10K is hooked into a BMS or NMS, notify monitoring personnel before you begin to test the system.
SeaHawk 10K. If no voltage is present at the terminal block, check the power supply and circuit breaker that power the SeaHawk 10K. If voltage is present but no LEDs are illuminated, go to step 2. Contact RLE Technologies for further troubleshooting and evaluation.

(<105°F). Agitate the cable in the solution, rinse with clear lukewarm water and wipe dry with a clean towel. Connect the cable to the SeaHawk 10K and test it to make sure the contaminates have been removed before reinstalling the cable under the floor.
DIP switches in blocks SW1 and SW2. The configuration of a stand-alone SeaHawk 10K can be performed using the DIP switches on the front panel. If the SeaHawk 10K will be connected to a Modbus-equipped monitoring system, some of the configuration can be performed using Modbus registers.
Configuration Reference A.1.2 Configure the SeaHawk 10K Modbus Address DIP Sw2 is used to set the address of the Modbus device, which should be a number between 1 and 254. Adjust the individual switches until their sum equals the Modbus address. Figure A.2 shows the values of the DIP switches on the SW2 block as well as two examples of how...
