The first sensor (A) will have its wire leads go directly from the sensor board A’s terminal block to the sensor input on the control panel.

The next sensor (B) will have its wire leads go from the sensor board B’s terminal block to the terminal block on the first sensor board (A).

The next sensor (C) will have its wire leads go from the sensor board’s (C) terminal block to the terminal block on the second sensor

board (B).

The  first  (A)  and  second  (B)  sensors  will  have  their  end  tab

close the valve and watch the indicator on the top of the valve to make sure the valve

rotates to the closed position.
Close any open fixtures and open any shut-off valves that were closed during the installa-

tion of the valve. Make sure there are no leaks.
With the valve in the open position place the sensor in water. The valve should close, the

LED should flash red and the audible alarm should sound. Once the valve closes, press

Installing Additional Sensors

Up to ten (10) sensors may be daisy chained to the sensor input with a total wire

length of no more than 200 feet.

Tab Configuration for Multiple Sensors

The  last  sensor  in  any  chain  must  be  the  only  one  with  the  “tab”  still  attached.  Reference

Figure E to break off tab.  Reminder: remove and replace feet from broken tab to the sensor.

Broken tab can be discarded; it cannot be reattached in the future.
