4. Secure the valve body in one hand and snap the receiver into place on the valve body mounting pad.
(Note: Improper alignment of the valve stem may interfere with proper receiver mounting. If any resistance is encountered, confirm that the witness mark
on the valve stem is in alignment with the ports of the valve. Use an appropriate hand tool, such as pliers, to clamp down on the valve stem and turn in the
appropriate direction until the desired position is achieved.)
5. Route and secure the 18-2 wire from the Power-Off Relay to the location of the 120 VAC wall outlet that supplies the water heater
Power-Vent unit.
6. Plug the Power-Off Relay fully flush into a wall receptacle. Do not plug into an extension cord.
7. Plug the Power-Vent Water Heater cord into the Power-Off Relay and activate the Power-Vent unit.

Function Test the system as follows:
a. Place the sensor on a wet paper towel.
b. The audible alarm will sound and the water valve will rotate to the closed position. The Power-Off Relay will also respond to kill power to the Power-
Vent unit.
c. The red Valve Closed LED will turn on when the valve is completely closed (approximately 45-second cycle time). Open a hot water faucet and
inspect for absence of water flow. There should be no flow. Confirm deactivation of the Power-Vent water heater.
d. Remove the sensor from the paper towel, dry the contact points and place the sensor back in the desired location on the floor.
e. Press and release the Reset button on the RS-094 receiver to open the valve and begin the flow of water again (approximately 45 seconds to fully
open position). The green Power indicator light on the RS-094 receiver will flash once to indicate the reset process has begun. Confirm reactivation
of the Power-Vent unit.
f. Open a hot water faucet and inspect for water flow.
MAINTENANCE:
We recommend an annual test of the unit to ensure proper function. See
Function Test
instructions above. At a minimum, users should exercise (press and
release) the reset button on the receiver annually to ensure correct operation and to maintain product warranty status.
