SeaHawk 10K Distance-Read Leak Detection Controller
Thank you for purchasing a SeaHawk 10K distance-read leak detection
controller. This guide highlights basic device installation and configuration.
Additional support information, including the User Guide, is available on our
website – www.rletech.com. Before you install a 10K, check the website to
ensure you are using the most recent version of our documentation.

Supplies for Installation
Included with the SeaHawk 10K
- 15 foot (4.57m) leader cable
- End-of-line terminator (EOL)
Available from RLE, sold separately
- Isolated RLE power supply, DC (PSWA-DC-24) or AC (WA-AC-24-ST)
- SeaHawk sensing cable, up to 10,000 feet (3048m)
Mount the Device
The SeaHawk 10K can be mounted inside a panel or on a DIN rail. The device has
two adjustable orange clips on the bottom. Push the clips out to expose two
screw holes that allow The 10K to be mounted in a panel; push the clips in to
mount the 10K on a DIN rail.
Establish Physical Connections & Test the Device
The SeaHawk 10K’s circuit boards are labeled. This helps you determine which
wires feed into each terminal block. Before you apply power to the SeaHawk
10K, wire all necessary connections and set the DIP Switches.
The 10K requires an isolated power supply. A power supply is not included, but
isolated DC (PSWA-DC-24) and AC (WA-AC-24-ST) power supplies are available
from RLE.
- Connect the power lead to TB3 or TB4. For AC power connections, wire EGND1 to Earth ground.
- Insert the four stripped wires of the leader cable into the appropriate slots in TB2 -from left to right: white, black, green, and red.
- Connect sensing cable to the other end of the leader cable, and be sure an end-of-line terminator is connected to the end of the sensing cable.
- Secure your connection for the relay output to TB1.
- Adjust the DIP switches to the appropriate settings.
- Apply power to the SeaHawk 10K.
- Test the system – simulate leaks at the beginning, middle, and end of the sensing cable to ensure the SeaHawk 10K accurately calculates the distance to leaks.
DIP Switches
The SeaHawk 10K has two sets of DIP switches. Push the numbered switch up to turn it on; push the switch down to turn it off. SW1 is used to configure a variety of settings on the Seahawk 10K. SW2 is used to configure communications.
DIP Switch 1, switches 1 through 8
Set the baud rate for the EIA-485 Port
| 1 = Off| 2 = Off| Modbus 9600 baud
| 1 = On| 2 = Off| Modbus 1200 baud
| 1 = Off| 2 = On| Modbus 38400 baud
| 1 = On| 2 = On| N2 9600 Baud
Unused
| 3 = Off| | Unused, leave in the off position.
Set the Re-alarm Interval – After a leak or cable problem has been detected,
the alarm will be re-sent at a designated interval until the alarm condition
has been resolved.
| 4 = Off| | Re-alarm interval – disabled. No re-alarm will occur.
| 4 = On| | Re-alarm interval – 4 hours
Latching Alarm Status
| 5 = Off| | Unlatched alarms – alarm resets itself once a detected leak or
cable problem has been resolved
| 5 = On| | Latched alarms – alarm must be reset by manually pushing the
blue Test/Rest/ Alarm Silence button, even if the leak or cable problem is no
longer present
Distance Measurements
| 6 = Off| | Cable length displayed in feet
| 6 = On| | Cable length displayed in meters
Sensing Cable Resistance – If you have questions regarding your cable’s
resistance, please reference the cable’s data sheet.
| 7 = Off| | 2.8 Ohms per foot – Use with RLE’s orange sensing cable
| 7 = On| | 4.0 Ohms per foot – Use with most other sensing cables
Enable or Disable the Audible Alarm – The audible alarm is disabled by
default.
| 8 = Off| | Audible alarm off
| 8 = On| | Audible alarm on
DIP Switch 2 is used to set communications options. If you are communicating
via Modbus, use SW2 to set the address of the Modbus device. This should be a
number between 1 and 254. Adjust the individual switches until their sum
equals the Modbus address. Switch values are as follows:
Front Panel Indicators
The front panel of the SeaHawk 10K contains a 4-character LED and series of colored LEDs that are used together to convey device status and information regarding detected leaks and cable faults. A blue button is used to cycle the 4-character LED, silence the audible alarm, and reset the alarm.
| Indicator | Symbol | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 4-character LED | SH10 |
675
(e.g.)
cbr
| System is running in its normal operating state.
A leak, fault, or contamination has been detected. A numerical distance displays on the LED. A green LED lights next to Ft or m, and either the LED next to the water drop glows red to indicate a leak, or the LED next to the wrench glows yellow to indicate cable contamination. If the distance is measured in meters, a tenths place decimal value will appear in measurements from 0.0 – 999.9. All meter values over 1000 will display as whole meter measurements.
Cable break/fault detected. Yellow LED flashes next to wrench symbol.
LED| ****
| Red LED – leak is detected – distance is displayed on 4-character LED
Yellow LED – Cable fault – 4-characted LED displays cbr
Yellow LED – Cable contamination – 4-character LED displays distance Green LED – Power on
Green LED – Measurements are made in feet Green LED – Measurements are made in meters
Green LED – Microamps of current on cable – amperage displayed on 4-character LED
Test/Reset/ Alarm Silence Button| Blue Push Button| In normal operating conditions, the button functions include:
• Press once: Displays cable current in ohms/foot and the green LED lights next to the microamp symbol
• Press twice: Displays the length of installed cable components and the green LED lights next to the appropriate Ft or m symbol
• Press three times: Return to the default display (SH10 )
• Press and hold: Self-test is initiated and the character display reads cal 8060 , which indicates the value of the test resistor.
If an alarm sounds, briefly press the button to turn off the audible alarm. The Status
LED remains red, and the 4-character LED continues to show the alarm condition. In an alarm condition, whether the audible alarm is sounding or not, press and hold this button for 3 seconds to clear the alarm.
Modbus Registers
The SeaHawk 10K uses its EIA-485 port to communicate via Modbus. The SeaHawk 10K is configured to act as a Modbus Server device on a common network and is a Server device only – it will never initiate a communications sequence.
