Our Leak Detection Systems
Prevention is better than cure.
A reliable leak detection system is crucial in critical infrastructure. Data facilities and server rooms function as nerve centres for most modern businesses, where thousands of optical and electrical connections are concentrated in a densely packed space.
Water or coolant piping is often integrated into data equipment to keep equipment cool. These precision cooling systems, however, pose a possible threat of accidental leaks that may interrupt server operations.

Leak Detection Modules
With the point-sensing approach to leak detection, the liquid must reach the location of a probe to trigger an alarm. Depending on the circumstances, a leak may grow and spread considerably before reaching an individual probe. With distributed sensing, the liquid is detected if it makes contact anywhere along the length of the sensing cable that monitors an entire area. TraceTek leak detection systems can detect the leak at its source, signal the alarm and display the exact distance to the leak which allows users to quickly locate the leak source.
Leak Detection System Module: TTSIM-PLUS
The TTSIM-PLUS is a leak detection system synergizing with the TTSIM-2 as its sensor interface module. This integrated solution is designed for server rooms of all sizes and able to monitor up to 150m (500ft) of sensor cable.
The front face of the panel consist of 4 user-friendly LED buttons which correspond to power status, leak status, buzzer alarm & system reset. The panel also has a window for engineers to view the leak distance indicated on the TTSIM-2 LCD display should a leak occur. The external lockable enclosure enhanced with reinforced alloy offers dust and mechanical damage resistance to the module, as well as an additional security feature for our clients.
The TTSIM-PLUS is definitely a must have in all server rooms to provide your clients with highest level of water detection, along with its accessible design for technicians.
Leak Detection System Module: TTSIM-1
The TTSIM-1 Sensor Interface Module monitors up to 5000 feet (1500 m) of TraceTek sensing cable. When liquid is detected, the TTSIM-1 unit communicates either with a TTDM-128 Master Module or directly to a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), building management system, or other host system using standard MODBUS, Opto-22, or Johnson Controls Metasys protocol. TTSIM-1’s low cost makes it economical to build very robust systems with many small independent sensing cable segments. No field calibration is required other than a map to show where the sensor cable has been installed.
Leak Detection System Module: TTSIM-1A
The TTSIM-1A Sensor Interface Module monitors up to 150 meters (500 feet) of TraceTek sensing cable. When liquid is detected, the TTSIM-1A unit indicates the leak with an LED, and switches a relay to provide local voltage-free contact closure. The TTSIM-1A can also communicate to a host monitoring system such as a TraceTek TTDM-128 or directly to a PLC or other host system using standard protocols.
Leak Detection System Module: TTSIM-2
The TraceTek TTSIM-2 is a sensor interface module with capacity to monitor up to 150m (500ft) of sensor cable. Leak alarm signaling is via 3-digit leak location on built-in LCD display, LED, dry contact relay, and serial data to a PLC or host system using standard protocols. It can be used as a stand-alone leak detection alarm unit, or integrated with the TTSIM, TT-NRM, TTDM-128, or TT-TS12 modules.
Touch Screen Panel: TT-TS12
The TraceTek TT-TS12 Touch Screen Panel provides a graphic user interface to manage and display information from a network of up to 250 external leak detection system circuits. With interactive and dynamic leak location maps and displays, the leak location can be displayed on the floor plan, piping layout or photo of a single piece of equipment. Provides a quick status overview of all leak detection cables. Works with TTSIM or wireless mesh transmitters.
Leak Detection System Module: TTDM-128
The TTDM-128 module directly monitors up to 1500m (5000ft) of sensor cable and a network of up to 128 remote TraceTek modules. The remote modules may be a combination of sensor interface modules (TTSIM), relay modules (TT-NRM) or additional TTDM-128 modules. With its networking capability, the TTDM-128 provides tremendous flexibility in terms of layout options and monitoring capability.
Leak Detection System Module: TTC01
The TraceTek TTC-1 module offers a low cost option for liquid leak detection. It is designed for use with any TraceTek sensing cable, and can be integrated into a variety of monitoring systems. The TTC-1 module includes three sets of relay contacts which can be used for remote annunciation and equipment control.
Leak Detection System Probe: TT-FLAT PROBE
The TT-FLAT PROBE is a special purpose probe designed to detect water leaks in specific locations such as low spots or drip trays. It is designed to be integrated as a part of a larger leak detection system, monitored by controllers such as the TT-SIM module.
Fast Fuel Sensor: TT-FFS
The TraceTek Fast Fuel Sensor (FFS) is a probe designed to detect hydrocarbon fuel floating on water, spreading on a flat surface or collecting in a sump. Reaction time for the probe is typically a few seconds for light or middle weight fuels such as gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel. It is also responsive to crude oil and some heavier weight fuels and heating oils, at a slower response time.
The TT-FFS is FM 7745 Standard approved and available in a standard version for improving safety of diesel generators, oil storage tanks or other heading equipment. The TT-FFS-WR version is water resistant and is effective at detecting possible leaks in hydrocarbon storage tank or float assembly.
Sensing Cables
TraceTek unique sensing cable makes it possible to detect leaks at their source. Extremely resistant to corrosion and abrasion, the 4-wire small and rugged cable dries and clears quickly and the cable construction leaves virtually no place to trap moisture. TraceTek developed water sensing cable with the ability to detect and precisely locate any water leakage.
Sensing Cables: TT1000
TraceTek TT1000 sensing cables detect the presence of water at any point along their length. Installed with a TraceTek alarm and locating module, the cable senses water intrusion, triggers an alarm, and pinpoints the location.
Sensing Cables: TT1100-OHP
The TraceTek TT1100-OHP water sensing cable is intended for inaccessible areas such as the bottom of a suspended or rack mounted pipe. With an additional layer of braided fiber jacket, the TT1100-OHP is fortified against possible contamination.
Sensing Cables: TT3000
TraceTek TT3000 sensing cable detects the presence of conductive liquids at any point along its length. Most acids, bases and even deionized water can be sensed and located. To be installed with a TraceTek alarm and locating module.
Sensing Cables: TT5000
TraceTek TT5000 sensing cable detects the presence of liquid hydrocarbon fuels at any point along its length, yet does not react to the presence of water. Installed with a TraceTek alarm and locating module, the cable senses the liquid, triggers an alarm, and pinpoints the location of the leak within one meter.
