4.3  Function 

The Smart Command Eco Valve is an efficient leakage protection system. Thanks to permanent monitoring, any leak 
is detected at an early stage and the risk of extensive water damage is reduced because the water supply is cut off 
automatically.

The Smart Command Eco Valve features an electronic water metering device (by means of a turbine), an 
electrically-driven shut-off valve, a pressure sensor to monitor the smallest leakage volumes and a multifunctional 
display. In addition, the device determines water hardness and indicates it in three stages.

The Smart Command Eco Valve can connect to the Smart Command App via Bluetooth

®

. In case of an active Smart 

Command Cloud connection, the Eco Valve transmits data, e.g. volume flow, flow rate per time, duration of volume 
flow, pressure drop and temperature via a secure connection.

Even if the Internet connection is down, the parameters will continue to be monitored. However, during that period, 
there is no communication with the server and no notification. Of course, the system can also operate without 
Internet connection and be monitored with the Caroma Smart Command App.

The mains adapter is used for power supply. A battery backup is included to provide short-term protection in case 
of power failure. Battery must be replaced regularly at a interval of no more than 24 months.

CAUTION!
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions according to the 
manufacturers instructions and environmental regulations.
