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
not wet sensor
—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.
