The 48 hour monitor is an additional method to check for
leaks. This function can be used when you may be away from
home for longer than several hours and have not activated
the vacation leak protection. When this monitor is activated
and no water is drawn off for 48 hours, the FloodBreaker
closes to isolate the system for 3 minutes.
After three minutes the device opens again and verifies
whether there is a flow of water. If it detects a flow of 8
1
⁄
2
ounces, a leak is suspected and the device will close.
Message A8 is displayed.
The 48 hour leak monitor is factory shipped in the off
mode.
Enter and unlock the Advance Menu Settings. 4- is shown
and the (-) will be blinking, indicating that the setting can be
changed and the monitor is in the deactivated position
(Figure 13).
Set the monitor to the active position by pressing the
or
button so the number (8) is displayed instead of the -.
To save the settings press the button.
The time-based protection is factory set to the off position.
When the time-based leak protection is activated, the
default time setting used in conjunction with the standard
leak setting is replaced by this new setting. (See section 5.1
for default time settings).
Example: With a Standard Leak Protection setting of 1-4
the default time would be 2 hours. If the time-based leak
protection is activated and set to 8 hours, the new time set-
ting for any Standard Leak Protection is 8 hours. This
would mean that the FloodBreaker would not suspect a
leak until either the set volume of water is reached or a flow
of water is detected for 8 continuous hours.
Press the button until the display shows t1 (Figure 14).
Press the button again and use the or buttons
to adjust the number of hours that continuous flow is
acceptable before the unit closes. Save any changes by
pressing the button.
The factory setting is 1 minute. If the flow rate exceeds 15.5
GPM for 1 minute a leak is suspected, the valve will close
and message A4 is displayed.
The maximum flow rate is not adjustable. The time limit can
be adjusted between 1 to 30 minutes.
It cannot be turned
off.
