1.4  Enrolling an Extended Range Water Valve Control and Valve Driver (if being installed)

Once the DIPs are set, press and hold the Setting Button UNTIL the Yellow LED comes on and then IMMEDIATELY release the Setting 

Button. The Water Valve Control will beep once to confirm that the settings are stored in memory.

DO NOT HOLD THE BUTTON ANY LONGER AS THIS WILL RESET ANY CHANGES MADE TO THE DEFAULT 
SETTINGS.

Reassemble Water Valve Control.

If an Extended Range system is being installed, position the Extended Range Water Valve Control and Valve Driver approx. 3 metres away 

from each other in line of sight.  Press the TEST button on the Valve Control 4 times, holding the button down each time until all the LEDs 

illuminate and the Valve Control beeps.  The first three times all 3 LEDs will illuminate, on the fourth time the orange WARNING LED will 

flash to indicated the Valve Control is in ENROL mode.  Please note that occasionally the system will enter ENROL mode after only 2 or 3 

presses of the TEST button.  As soon as the WARNING LED starts to flash the system is in ENROL mode and you can proceed to the next 

step.  NB.  The TEST button needs to be held down for approx. 4 seconds to operate.  Release the button when the Valve Control beeps.

Press the WATER ON button on the Water Valve Control and the red LEAK/FLOW ALARM LED will illuminate.

Press the Enrol button on the Valve Driver (Figure 3) for approx. 3 - 5 seconds and then release it.  The Valve Control will emit a short beep 

and the Valve Driver will give a long single beep to indicate successful enrolment.
