Description
Water-sensing cable kits feature
detection cables that recognize the
presence of water along the entire
cable length.
Kit includes:
• LD310 control box
• +5 V power supply
• 15 ft (3 m) leader cable
• 50 ft (16.7 m) 4-conductor
alarm wire
• Orange Leak Detection
Cable(s)
• Accessory hardware - Hex key,
wall mounting hardware and
self-adhesive J-clips
• Terminator plug
(NOTE: Some kits contain a
permanently terminated,
orange Leak Detection Cable
and do not require a separate
terminator plug)
Mounting the LD310
Control Box
Determine the location where the
control box is to be mounted. Take
into consideration power
accessibility and the wire route to
your environmental monitoring unit.
With the provided hex key, loosen
the two set screws on the bottom
end of the control box and remove
the cover. Then locate the two
mounting screw holes on the base.
Hold the bottom of the control box
in place and mark the holes. After
drilling the mounting holes, fasten
the control box in place with the
appropriate hardware.
Before replacing the cover, attach
the Leader Cable, 4-conductor
alarm wires and 5 V power supply
into the terminal block near the
bottom of the control box circuit
board. You may also want to
activate the audible alarm before
replacing the LD310’s cover. When
you are ready to replace the cover,
assemble it to the base and use the
hex key to tighten the screws to
secure it.
See the Geist LD310 Control Box
Wiring Diagram on the following
page for details.
Connecting the Leader Cable
The Leader Cable is a 15-ft (4.57 m)
white cable with a twist-lock
connector on one end and four
bare, stripped and tinned wires on
the other end.
To connect the Leader Cable,
make sure the four colored wires

are stripped so that approximately
¼ inch (7 mm) of bare wire is
showing. Then insert the wires into
the appropriate terminals of the
CABLE INPUT terminal block and
tighten the screws to lock the
wires into place.
Connecting the relays to a
monitoring unit
Using the 4-conductor alarm wire
supplied with the kit (or any
suitable 4-conductor wire), with the
relay mode jumper in “supervised”
mode, connect the signals between
the LD310 Control Box and the
monitoring unit’s analog-input
terminal block.
Note that the use of inputs #1 and
#2 here is merely an example. Any
of the numbered analog inputs can
be used. That is, as long as the red
and green wires are connected to
di erent inputs, and those inputs
don’t already have other sensors
connected to them. You cannot,
however, connect both the red and
green wires to a single analog
input. The “fault” and “leak” signals
must be connected to separate
inputs for the unit to work properly.
Connecting the 5 V power
supply
The LD310 Control Box is powered
by a standard 5 VDC wall
transformer-style power supply.
Make sure both wires are stripped
so that approximately ¼ inch (7 mm)
of bare wire is showing and then
insert the wires into the appropriate
terminals of the 5 VDC DC IN
terminal block and tighten the
screws to lock the wires in place.
Connecting the Leak-
Detection Cable(s)
Your leak-detection kit includes
one or more lengths of orange
Leak-Detection Cable. The cables
are designed to be daisy-chained
together, so each cable has a 4-pin,
male, twist-lock plug on one end,
and a 4-pin, female, twist-lock
socket on the other end.
The first length of Leak Detection
Cable connects to the Leader
Cable from the LD310 Control Box,
and additional lengths (if any) are
chained together as necessary.
Some kits are supplied with a cable
that is permanently terminated on
one end. If your kit is one of these,
the terminated cable must be the
last cable in the chain.
If your kit does not include a
pre-terminated cable, the
Terminator Plug must be attached
to the last cable in the chain.
“Non-Sensing Cable”
(optional)
The Non-Sensing Cable, available
as an optional accessory, is an
economical way to route around or
over non-monitored spaces, such
as doorways. It also provides
greater flexibility in where to mount
the control box without wasting
Leak Detection Cables across
areas where there is no need to
actually sense liquids.
NOTE: The Non-Sensing Cable can
be connected anywhere within the
chain.
Program Jumpers
The LD310 has three sets of 3-pin
jumpers. JP1 is used to configure
the sensitivity of the leak setting.
JP2 configures the relay outputs.
JP3 configures the audible alarm.
If you change the jumpers, you
must cycle power to the LD310 in

See the table above for jumper
configuration settings.
LED
The LD310 has one LED, which is
used to report a variety of
conditions.
• Power On / Normal - The LED is
on and displays a solid green
color during normal operation
with no alarm present.
• Cable Break - The LED flashes
orange while the audible alarm
sounds. Once the alarm silence
button is pushed, the LED will
continue to flash orange slowly
until the cable break is resolved.
• Leak - The LED flashes red
while the audible alarm sounds.
Once the alarm silence button
is pushed, the LED will continue
to display a solid red color until
the leak is resolved and the
cable is dry.
Audible Alarm and Silence/
Test/Reset Button
By default, the audible alarm on the
LD310 is disabled. To activate the
audible alarm, first loosen the
screws on the bottom of the
enclosure and remove the unit’s
cover. Remove the warning sticker
from the top of the audible alarm,
move the jumper on J3 to cover the
bottom two pins and cycle power
to the unit. Replace the LD310’s
cover and tighten the screws to
secure it.
The LD310 has one push-button
switch, which is used to silence the
audible alarm and to test and reset
the system.
The audible alarm sounds when a
cable break or leak is detected.
When the audible alarm is
activated, push the button once to
silence the alarm.
Test mode allows the LD310 to test
its internal components. To initiate
test mode, push and hold the
button for approximately five
seconds. When the LED flashes red
and green, the audible alarm
sounds and the relays activate
(change state), the test is complete
and you can release the button.
After the test cycle, the entire unit
resets and the LED returns to
green. If there was a leak or cable
break present before you ran the
test and that leak or break is still
present, the unit will alarm for this
condition again after a few seconds.
Test the System
Once the LD310 is set up, you
should test the system. If the
LD310 is connected to a BMS or
NMS, notify monitoring personnel
before you test.
To verify the LD310’s functionality,
test three points within the length
of the sensing cable - one at the
beginning, one in the middle of the
length, and another near the end of
the length of cable.
There are a variety of ways to
simulate a leak.
• Pour a small puddle of water on
the cable while it rests on the
floor.
• Dunk the cable in a cup of
water.
• Wet a paper towel or rag and
wrap it loosely around the
cable. This is popular if the
cable is used in pipe
applications. Be careful to wrap

the wet cloth loosely around the
cable. Do not put pressure on the
cable.
Remove the simulated leak sources
and return the system to its normal
operating state.
To test the cable fault alarm,
remove the end-of-line terminator
(EOL) from the end of the sensing
cable. This will cause a cable break,
which should be reported
appropriately by the LD310. Once
the cable break alarm is verified,
reapply the EOL and ensure the
system returns to its normal
operating state.
CONFIGURING THE
SYSTEM’S SETTINGS
The first step is to re-name the
analog inputs to something more
descriptive, to help identify the
“cable fault” and “leak” signals
when looking at the unit’s logged
data or e-mailed alert messages.
These names can be changed from
the Sensor tab of the monitoring
unit’s application.
If you connected the signals
according to the Control Box
Wiring Diagram on page 2, Analog 1
will be the “Cable Fault” signal, and
Analog 2 will be the “Leak
Detection” signal.
CLEANING THE LEAK
DETECTION CABLES
If the orange Leak Detection
Cables become contaminated by
oils, solvents or conductive
residues, it may continue to give a
“wet” signal, even though the cable
and surrounding area appears dry.
If this happens, the cable can be
cleaned as follows:
Clean the cable with
isopropyl alcohol
Cleaning the cable with alcohol
allows you to clean the sensing
cable without completely
disconnecting and removing it from
its installed location. Instead, you’ll
remove each section of cable you
wish to clean from its J-clips, wipe
it down, and reinstall the cable.
This method will clean most
contaminants from the cable, and is
generally su icient in most cases.
1. Obtain a dye-free heavy cloth
rag and a bottle of isopropyl
alcohol.
2. Remove the first section of
cable to be cleaned from its
J-clips.
3. Soak the rag with alcohol.
4. Wrap the rag around the cable
and squeeze firmly while pulling
the rag down the length of the
cable.
5. Flip the rag over every several
feet. Re-saturate the rag with
alcohol as required.
6. Once you’ve reached the end of
the first section of cable, place
it back in the J-clips and
proceed to the next section.
7. Replace the rag if it becomes
too dirty.
Clean the cable with warm,
soapy water
If the cable still gives a false “wet’
signal, even after you’ve cleaned it
with isopropyl alcohol as above, or
if the cable appears so dirty that it
requires a more intense scrubbing,
the cables may be cleaned with
warm, soapy water instead. This
process requires you to completely
remove the cable from its installed
location, submerge it in a soap-and-
water solution, scrub it with a brush,
and hang it to dry for several hours,
so it is highly recommended to try
the alcohol-cleaning method first.
1. Remove the sensing cable from
its installed location. Labeling
the sections of cable to note
their location for later
re-installation is highly
recommended.
2. Add dish soap (such as Dawn™)
to a bucket of warm water,
using about 1 cup (250 ml) of
detergent per gallon (4 L) of
water.
3. Submerge a section of the
cable in the water and, using a
scrub brush or rag, scrub along
the surface of the cable with
firm pressure. Be sure to scrub
all sides of the cable.
4. Remove the section of the
cable from the soapy solution
and rinse it in a bucket of clean,
fresh water.
5. Ensure there are no oily
deposits along the length of the
cable. If the cable does not
appear clean, repeat steps 3
and 4.
6. Hang up the cable to dry. Try to
point the connectors down, so
water cannot pool inside the
connectors. The drying process
may take 6 - 48 hours,
depending on the room
conditions.
7. Once the cable is completely
dry, reinstall it in its original
location.
