Location:
The Smart Water Valve must be installed:
NOTE: Water shutoff valves and leak detection devices should NEVER be installed on a fire
suppression system.
•
In a dry, indoor location.
•
Downstream from the main shut-off valve on the desired water supply line.
•
With the Control Unit located above the valve. Use drip loops wherever possible to avoid
damaging the electronics in the event of a leak.
•
In compliance with all local plumbing and electrical codes.
•
Within 20 feet of a wall outlet.
•
Easily visible and accessible to the end user.
Installation:
1.
Shut off the water supply line and drain the system.
2.
Install the valve in the desired water supply line using appropriate fittings. See
“
Location
”
section for information on selecting a suitable installation location.
3.
After installing the valve, turn the water supply on and ensure there are no leaks
originating from the valve or connections to the valve.
4.
Connect the actuator to the valve.
5.
Connect the actuator to the control unit using the attached cable. If possible, create a
drip loop in the actuator cable.
6.
Use the included wall bracket and anchors (if applicable) to mount the control unit above
the valve so the LEDs and buttons are visible and easily accessible.
7.
Connect the power supply to the locking barrel connector on the control unit. Rotate the
connector clockwise to lock the power supply in place.
8.
Plug the power supply into the nearest wall outlet. If possible, create a drip loop in the
power cable. Verify that the Smart Water Valve is on by checking that
the “Valve Open”
or “Valve Closed” LED is illuminated.
If no LEDs are illuminated, try a different power
outlet.
