3. RESETTING AND OPENING THE VALVE AFTER A LEAK ALARM
The Water Valve Control will shut the valve on the incoming water main or pipe if a leak detection tape is in contact with water, or if the No
Flow or Continuous Flow set times are exceeded.
3.1 Resetting the system after a leak has been repaired or Continuous Flow limits are exceeded
1. Press the “WATER OFF” button on the Water Valve Control to mute the alarm – the valve remains closed. If the alarm continues, and
you have a detection tape directly connected to the Water Valve Control, disconnect the tape then press the “WATER OFF” button on
the Water Valve Control to mute the alarm.
2. Identify where in the property the leak has occurred.
3. If you have wireless leak detector transmitters installed the one that has instigated the alarm will be beeping. If none of the
Transmitters are beeping but you have a leak detection tape or tab directly connected to the Water Valve Control then this is where
the leak is.
4. Repair the leak and dry the leak detection tape. Tapes should be unplugged and dried either naturally, or with a hairdryer on a
medium setting held 1M away from the tape, or on a warm (not hot) radiator.
5. Reposition and reconnect the tape once dry.
6. Press “WATER ON” on the Water Valve Control to open the valve.

3. To connect the 1.5M connection cable to two or more lengths of leak detection tape with interconnecting 2 core cable between,
crimp the female bullet connectors at the end of the 1.5M cable into the male bullet connectors on the first length of leak detection
tape. Cut the required length of 2 core cable and strip the insulating sheath off either end of the cable to expose the wire. Crimp 2
male bullet connectors to the wires at one end and 2 female bullet connectors at the other, then crimp the test pins on the first tape
in to the female bullet connectors on the connecting cable and the male bullet connectors on the cable into the female connectors on
the next length of tape. A maximum of 30M of tape and interconnecting cable can be connected in this way.
Connect to the wireless Leak Detection Transmitter or Water Valve Control as detailed above.

3.2 Resetting the system after a No Flow limit is exceeded
If the valve has closed because the No Flow limit is exceeded press the WATER ON button on the Water Valve Control or wireless On/Off
switch to open the valve and reinstate the water.
