Mounting
Connecting WDC / Water detection rope
- Connect WDC rope sensor to the VT591 leak sensor.
- Wire the WDC rope around or under potentially leaking objects around the perimeter or under raised floors.
- Cconnect the sensor to the monitoring unit. Connection is plug-an-play.
- Sensor is ready to use.
Connecting WLC / Water leak cable
- Connect the "VT591 / Water leak sensor" to the monitoring unit. Connection is plug-an-play.
- Connect "VTC / Terminal cable" to VT591 sensor.
- Connect "WLC / Water detection cable" to "VTC / Terminal cable".
- Connect any additional "WLC / Water detection cables" to each other as shown on picture above to make a chain connection.
- Wire the WLC rope around or under potentially leaking objects around the perimeter or under raised floors.
- Put a protective cap on the connector of the last WLC cable in a chain.
- Sensor is ready to use.

Sensor uses standard Vutlan analog sensor cable(RJ11/RJ12 to RJ11/RJ12) for connecting to the monitoring unit. You can find further instructions at: Analog sensors connection
Technical support
The device does not contain any user-serviceable parts. If the power meter requires service, contact your local sales representative. Do not open the device. Opening the device voids the warranty.
Troubleshooting
The following table describes potential problems and their possible causes. It also describes checks you can perform or possible solutions for each. After referring to this table, if you cannot resolve the problem, contact the your local Vutlan sales representative for assistance.
| Potential Problem | Possible Cause | Possible Solution |
|---|---|---|
| The data being displayed is inaccurate or not what you expect. | Incorrect setup values. | Check that You use the correct f(x) formula |
| Incorrect voltage inputs. | Check power meter voltage input terminals to verify that adequate voltage is present | |
| Power meter is wired improperly. | Check that all wires are connected correctly and that they are energized. See “Wiring Diagrams” of the device. | |
| Sensor does not appear in Vutlan monitoring interface | Communications lines are improperly connected. | Check 6P4C RJ11 communication cable. |
| Communication cable is inserted in to a wrong port. | 6P4C RJ11 communication cable must be inserted into analog port of Vutlan monitoring system. |
