Power Supply

Each OPSEN requires a 12Vdc power supply. Power is available from
a separate power supply unit: AT-PSU-1 for 1 to 10 sensors.
The 12Vdc should be connected as detailed below, care should be
taken when connecting the power as the sensor is polarity sensitive.
The Bulk OPSEN cable is colour coded for connection into the
TraceTek and AquiTron™ panels: white 12Vdc (+) and blue OV (-)
should be used for the power cables.

Power indication

The sensor unit is provided with a GREEN LED to indicate power
present.

Alarm indication

In the event of a leak being detected the units RED LED will
illuminate.
Indication will also be displayed on the following leak detection
panels:
AT-SZA, single zone indication.
AT-DIM, single zone indication.
AT-MZA, individual zone indication.
TTDM, distance or zone number/region/area name.
TTSIM-1/1A/2, via the master panel or BMS a distance or zone
number/region/area name is available.

Detection time

The Optical sensor head will detect the presence of a liquid within
seconds of it making contact. The alarm activation on the OPSEN
(Red LED) will be immediate, however, alarm indication on the leak
detection control panel will depend on the model selected.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Zones / Regions

Probes with terminal strips and built in
resistors (weighted lengths) equal to 8 metres
(25 feet) for the first sensor and 16 metres
(50 feet) for each subsequent sensor when
used on the TraceTek TTDM or TTSIM-1/1A/2
alarm & locator panels.
If sensors are used alone on a circuit, without
sensing cable, the 'zones' setting within 'units'
can be used on the panels.
