FOR CONVENTIONAL PLUG-IN POWER-VENT GAS WATER HEATERS
Operation and Installation Instructions for FloodMaster
RS-094 Water Heater Leak Detection Alarm/Shut-Off
Systems with Electrical Plug Interrupter
The RS-094 series of Feed Water (Water Heater) Leak Detection and Shut-Off Systems
is designed to monitor and respond immediately to water leaks. When a sensor comes
in contact with as little as a 1/16” of water (or any other conductive liquid), it will
automatically sound an audible alarm and close the valve to shut down the water feed
line, thus mitigating damage caused by an undetected water leak. This kit also provides
output signal capabilities to automatically kill electricity to the Water Heater Power Vent
when a leak is detected.
Installation of this device should only be performed by appropriately licensed and certified installers.
OPERATION:
In the event the system activates, locate the source of the leak, remove the sensor from the water and dry the metal contacts on the
bottom. Correct the problem causing the leak and replace the sensor in the desired leak detection location once again as required. Press
and release the reset button on the receiver to open the valve and begin the flow of water again. The green Power indicator light on the
receiver will flash once to confirm the reset.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
(FloodMaster recommends that installations be completed by a licensed plumber to ensure that all local code requirements are followed).
1. Turn off the water supply feed line to the water heater. Confirm that the Power-Vent Water Heater is unplugged
from the electrical supply.
2. Thread the valve body into the feed water line after the manual shut-off. Apply pipe sealant or Teflon
®
tape
to the NPT threads and tighten.
3. The receiver connector comes pre-wired with basic connections to the power supply, sensor and electrical plug
interrupter. Using an appropriate screwdriver, make any additional electrical connections as may be desired for
output contacts or additional sensors per the diagram provided.
(Note: Additional sensors can be connected to
either 6 & 7 or 8 & 9, as wiring space allows.)
Snap the terminal wiring block into the receiver housing at the
mating slot provided.
