Installation Guide

 

IMPORTANT!

Adherence to all local and municipal building, plumbing 

and electrical codes as they pertain to the installation of 

the WaterCopPRO System is of utmost importance. Codes 

in some areas may require that a licensed plumber be 

employed to do the installation, or that the proper permits 

be obtained prior to any installation. Even if local codes 

do not require a licensed plumber to do the installation, 

it is necessary that the installer has a professional level 

of competence in both plumbing and electrical skills to 

perform the installation. These instructions assume this 

level of knowledge and skill. If in doubt, use a licensed 

professional. 

TO POWER AND PROGRAM WIRELESS SENSORS

WaterCopPRO wireless sensors are addressable. This 

means that the WaterCopPRO valve can tell you the 

operational status of each flood sensor. If you have 

many wireless sensors, this feature will quickly tell you 

which sensor is wet or requires service (low batteries, 

lost connection). It is important that you introduce each 

wireless sensor to the WaterCopPRO shut-off valve and 

document the sensor number on the sensor. Once placed 

in location you will also note this information on the Sensor 

Location Log (included). Once the wireless sensors are 

programmed you will be able to place them in desired 

locations to monitor your home or business for water 

intrusion.

Powering Sensors

WaterCopPRO wireless sensors require power to operate.  

Use either fresh AA alkaline batteries (not included) and/

or a WaterCopPRO Sensor AC Adaptor (sold separately) 

to power.  If both are used, batteries will provide back-

up power in the event AC is lost.  Rechargeable batteries 

are not recommended. To install batteries, remove the 

battery cover located on the back of the sensor, and install 

batteries in accordance with the (+ and –) placement guide. 

Reinstall back plate. Instructions on how to connect AC 

adaptors are included in this manual.
It is important that you number each sensor with the 

included numbering stickers (shipped with the 

WaterCopPRO motor) for easy identification while 

programming. If you do not have stickers, you may simply 

write numbers on the outside back cover of each sensor 

in permanent ink. The WaterCopPRO system is capable 

of supporting as many as 45 wireless sensors. Additional 

wireless sensors (up to 45) can be added in the future by 

repeating the steps taken in this section. Please contact 

your local dealer or DynaQuip Controls to inquire about 

additional sensors.
Once each sensor is powered and numbered, you are 

ready to begin addressing the sensors to the WaterCopPRO 

actuator.

Programming Wireless Sensors

Plug the WaterCopPRO actuator power supply into a nearby 

115 VAC outlet. As with all sensitive electric equipment, the 

use of surge protection is highly recommended. Depending 

upon the position of the valve, the motor may initially turn 

the valve when first powered. 

BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL TO 

KEEP FINGERS AND OTHER ITEMS OUT OF THE VALVE.

 The 

display will read

 WaterCop NORMAL

To add sensor #1

: Press 

MODE

 twice (DEVICE ADD will 

display on LCD) 
Press 

CLOSE

 once (DEVICE #1 ID= will display on LCD)

Short probe on sensor by touching leads with metal. 

Do not wet sensor

—it must be shorted with conductive 

metal such as a key or ring. Sensor will beep and LCD 

will display SERVICE STATUS SENSOR #1 OK!

To add sensors #2 through #45:

 If time has passed, the 

WaterCopPRO LCD will revert to ready mode displaying 

WaterCopPRO NORMAL

. To add more sensors you will 

need to return to program mode and repeat steps used to 

add sensor #1.
If you are adding sensors in quick succession, your 

WaterCop will remain in program mode and the display 

will read DEVICE ADD, press 

NEXT

. Press 

CLOSE

 once 

(DEVICE #2 ID= will display on LCD). 
Short probe on sensor by touching leads with metal. 

Do

—it must be shorted. Sensor will beep and 

LCD will display SERVICE STATUS SENSOR #2 OK!

Repeat above steps for all of your wireless sensors taking 

care to program them in the same order as labeled. Repeat 

for all sensors. When finished Press 

MODE

 twice to return 

to 

NORMAL

 mode. If you need to remove a device for any 

reason, please see the instructions

TO POWER AND PROGRAM 

MONITORING STATION

The WaterCopPRO Monitoring Station (part number WPMS) 

provides instant feedback of sensor alarm and trouble 

conditions as well as open/close status and control of 

water supply. An audible alarm will sound when any sensor 

detects flooding. The Hardwired Sensor Monitoring Station 

(part number WPMSH) includes eight zones to attach 

WaterCopPRO hardwired flood sensors (part number WPSC).
Plug the WaterCopPRO Monitoring Station power 

supply into a nearby 115 VAC outlet. As with all sensitive 

electric equipment, the use of surge protection is 

highly recommended. The LCD display will beep once 

and read 

WaterCopPRO Valve Lost?

 

***ALERT***

 

?COMMUNICATIONS?

 until the Monitoring Station has 

been programmed to the WaterCopPRO actuator.

To Program Monitoring Station

Similar to flood sensors, the Monitoring Station is 

programmed using the keys on the WaterCopPRO 

actuator.
