The ANWETECH AT-LS102 Oil Leak Detection Cable is designed for continuous monitoring of liquid hydrocarbon leaks, including diesel, gasoline, crude oil, transformer oil and lubricating oil.
Featuring a water-insensitive sensing structure and protective fluoropolymer braid, it is suitable for fuel storage tanks, oil pipelines, filling stations, generators and machinery rooms.
When connected to a compatible locating leak detection alarm module, the cable provides an oil leakage detection signal for industrial leak monitoring.
The ANWETECH AT-LS102 Oil Leak Detection Cable is an industrial sensing cable designed to detect liquid hydrocarbon leaks along its installed route.
The cable uses specially formulated oil-sensitive materials, a multilayer composite structure and a protective fluoropolymer braid to support leak detection in demanding industrial environments.
When liquid oil contacts the sensing material, the material swells and bridges adjacent conductors. A compatible locating leak detection alarm module detects the resulting electrical change and reports the leakage event.
The water-insensitive sensing construction makes the AT-LS102 suitable for industrial environments where water exposure may occur.
The cable can be installed along fuel storage areas, oil pipeline routes, generators, machinery rooms and other locations requiring continuous monitoring for oil leakage.
The AT-LS102 provides reference detection performance for different hydrocarbon liquids, including:
Gasoline
No. 0 diesel fuel
Heat-transfer oil (transformer oil)
Crude oil
Lubricating oil (engine oil)
Cooling oil
The actual response time depends on the type of oil and the detection conditions. Key Features
Continuous Oil Leak Monitoring
Designed to detect liquid hydrocarbon leaks when oil contacts the sensing cable along its installed route.
Water-Insensitive Sensing Technology
The sensing construction is insensitive to water, making it suitable for locations where water exposure may occur.
Multiple Hydrocarbon Liquid Detection
Reference detection performance is provided for gasoline, diesel fuel, transformer oil, crude oil, lubricating oil and cooling oil.
Oil-Sensitive Swelling Detection Principle
Contact with oil causes the sensing material to swell and bridge adjacent conductors, allowing a compatible alarm module to detect the change.
Protective Fluoropolymer Braid
The multilayer cable structure incorporates a protective fluoropolymer braid for demanding industrial installations.
Compatible with Locating Leak Detection Alarm Modules
Works with a compatible locating leak detection alarm module to report oil leakage events.
Flexible Cable Installation
Available as 7.5 m sensing cable sections or 50 m cable rolls, with matching connection and installation accessories.

The AT-LS102 operates through a liquid-contact detection principle.
Oil Contact: Leaking hydrocarbon liquid contacts the sensing cable along its installed route.
Sensing Material Reaction: The oil-sensitive material swells when exposed to oil.
Electrical Change: The swelling material bridges adjacent conductors, creating a detectable electrical change.
Leak Alarm Detection: A compatible locating leak detection alarm module detects the change and reports the leakage event.
The cable is water-insensitive and is designed for detecting liquid hydrocarbon leakage rather than ordinary water exposure.
A typical system consists of:
Compatible locating leak detection alarm module
Lead-out cable
AT-LS102 oil leak detection sensing cable
Jumper cable where required
Required end termination
Cable fixing clips
