G. TEST PROCEDURE

1. After connections are complete supply 

power to the unit. If the sensing circuit 
is complete and free of leaks or other 
problems, the green Monitoring LED only 
will illuminate.

2. Leak Simulation: For systems using TT1000, 

TT3000 sensor cable or a detection probe, 
use a TraceTek Mapping Tool or a small 
container of water to simulate a leak. After 
the time delay has expired (maximum 15 
seconds) look for the following indications:

Red LEAK LED on
Green POWER LED on
LEAK RELAY in ALARM condition

(

Note:

 This may cause equipment shut 

down if devices are connected to the LEAK 
relay contacts)
Remove simulated leak
Red LEAK LED goes out

For TT5000 and TT5001 systems, simulate a 
leak condition by tightly bending and holding 
the sensor cable.

3. Cable Break Simulation: For any sensor 

system, disconnect any one wire at the 
sensor cable terminal block or disconnect 
any connector in the system. Look for the 
following indications: 
Yellow CABLE BREAK LED on
FAULT RELAY in ALARM condition

Restoring the connection should cause the 
MZA to return to the normal indications for 
that zone.

1. Complete a system inspection in the 

presence of the owner.

2. Ensure a plan showing the location of the 

sensor is available.

3. Check that the following information 

is clearly visible adjacent to the alarm 
module:

•  In case of alarm instruction.
•  Location of the system map in case it 

is not installed adjacent to the alarm 
module.

•  Name and contact number of the person 

responsible for operating the system.

•  Supplier’s contact name and address.

4. Hand over these Installation, Operating 

and Maintenance Instructions.

5. Make the owner aware that it is strongly 

recommended to perform a systems 
check at regular intervals, at least every six 
months.

COMMISSIONING

Your system should be commissioned 
by an authorised AquiTron™ or TraceTek 
representative. The system map is a crucial 
part of the system and should be located 
adjacent to the unit and within the O&M 
documents.

Important: 

Store hardware and 

documentation supplied with the MZA in a 
secure place for later use (commissioning, 
connecting interfaces, operating).

I. INVESTIGATING LEAKS AND FAULTS

If the location of a leak is not apparent, it is often useful to subdivide the leak detection 
circuit, as illustrated below. To accomplish this, it is recommend have a TraceTek Portable 
Test Box (PTB) and an extra Modular End Termination is used. Contact your local TraceTek 
representative to obtain these products. Note that the PTB comes with instructions on how to 
use it.

To segment the system (one individual zone) and isolate problems, find a TraceTek sensing 

cable or jumper cable connection at a convenient point somewhere at the center of the
