# Probe installation

To install your two-meter leak detection cable on piping, here is the recommended method to ensure effective and immediate detection:

## Preparing the support

Before you begin, carefully clean the pipe surface. Dust or greasy residue can insulate the probe or, conversely, retain residual moisture that would trigger false alarms.

## Installation by wrapping (helical)

The goal is to cover the largest possible surface area, especially sensitive areas such as fittings, valves, or bends.

* **Starting attachment** : Attach the end of the cable (box side) to the pipe using a cable tie (Serflex or rilsan type).
* **Wrapping** : Wrap the cable around the pipe in a helical manner (in a spiral).

{% hint style="info" %}
Make sure the cable consistently passes along the lower generatrix of the pipe (the lowest point), because that is where the first droplets of water will form by gravity in the event of a micro-leak.
{% endhint %}

## Tension and securing

The cable must be pressed firmly against the wall without being excessively tight so as not to damage the sensing sheath.

* Use cable ties at regular intervals (every 30 to 50 cm) to maintain permanent contact between the cable and the pipe.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you have valves, make one extra turn around the valve neck, a zone statistically more prone to leaks.
{% endhint %}

## Housing positioning

Make sure the housing is mounted slightly higher than the pipe or offset onto a vertical wall to prevent it from being submerged itself in the event of a major leak.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://enless.gitbook.io/centre-aide/guides-installation/documentation-en/products/editor-19/use/probe-installation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
