The LD1500 is a panel mounted device. There are four mounting holes on the sides of the unit spaced 6.6 inches
(.167m) apart. Use drywall anchors if securing the unit to drywall.

Connecting the Water Leak Detection Cable

The LD1500 requires a leader cable (included in the leader cable kit: part #LC-KIT). One end of this leader cable
connects into the LD1500. This end of the cable has four stripped, bare wires. The other end features a mating
connector which connects with the SeaHawk Water Leak Detection Cable (SC). The end of the cable is finished with
a removable End-of-Line terminator (EOL).
Connect the 15 foot (4.57m) leader cable to the LD1500. From left to right, with the screws of the terminal block
connector facing up, the wires that screw into the terminal connector should be colored: white, black, green, and
red. If the terminal connector is removed from the end of the cable, make sure the wires are in this same order when
the connector is reapplied.
Once the leader cable is plugged into the terminal blocks, it is ready to be connected to the SC cable. To do this,
unscrew the end terminator (EOL) from the end of the leader cable. Attach the first length of SC cable to the leader
cable. Route the SC cable according to a cable layout diagram; see Section 3-2.1, pg. 6, of the Product User Guide
for detail about the layout diagram. Secure the EOL terminator on the unoccupied end of the SC cable.
