M8
Sensor cable

The unique “Multi–Zone” construction of the M8 sensor cable allows up to eight separately reporting detection zones to be provided from one length of cable.

The zone changeover points along the cable are provided by either traditional Floodline 8–zone junction boxes or the Plug And Play system. The zones can be any length but the usual length is between 5 and 15 metres.

The sensor can be wetted and dried any number of times provided the cable is not contaminated with a substance that permanently changes its electrical characteristics. If the contamination is soluble then the cable can be removed, washed (clean water only), dried and returned to use subject to the level of contamination.
