Use caution!
• The valve closes with enough force to cut off a
finger.
• Be extremely careful to keep fingers and other
items out of the valve.
Manually Test the Valve
To test your WaterCop
®
PRO system, gently pull the
safety plugs out from each end of the valve. Check the
position of the valve by looking in either threaded end.
In the open position, you will be able to see through
the valve; in the closed position only the shiny surface
of the ball will be visible. Place the base of the housing
on a sturdy surface, as close as feasibly possible to the
location where it will be permanently installed. Plug the
WaterCop
®
PRO power supply into a nearby 115 VAC
outlet. The valve position indicator lights should now
correspond to the actual position you noticed. Green =
Open. Red = Closed. Grasp both sides of the housing
(not the valve) with the valve pointing away from you
for safety. Being very careful not to have your fingers
or other objects near the valve openings, press the
colored circle just below the unlit indicator light. You
will hear the motor change the valve position. Again,
look into the threaded end of the valve to verify that the
valve has changed position. If it appears that the valve
has not turned from one position to the other, DO NOT
try to reposition the valve yourself by inserting any tool
or fingers into the valve. Operate the valve several
more times from open to close, checking each time
for proper positioning. If you are experiencing trouble
getting the valve to open and shut, call the installation
help line listed on the back cover.
Manually Test the Flood Sensors
Each flood sensor is a battery-operated (or AC
adaptable) radio transmitter. The units are shipped
without batteries. Two fresh “AA” lithium batteries or
optional flood sensor AC adaptors are needed to power
each unit. To install batteries, remove the battery cover
located on the back of the sensor, and install batteries
in accordance with the (+ and –) placement guide.
Reinstall back plate.
Follow suggestions found in the section titled
“Placement of Flood Sensors” for recommendations
where sensors should be placed. Locate a wall near
the area you choose to monitor. Avoid high traffic
areas where cord or sensor could be stepped on or
kicked. Mount transmitter at a convenient location on
the wall, two to three feet above the floor. This will
help avoid damage to the sensor and provide a strong
signal. Use fasteners included with the unit.
1. Following all safety precautions, make sure that
the WaterCop
®
PRO is plugged in and the valve is
in the open position. Leave the WaterCop® PRO
near your main water line, on a sturdy surface. It
is important that anyone who will be near the valve
is aware of the safety precautions, and does not
insert any object into the valve, or handle the valve
during the test.
2. At one of the locations you have chosen to
monitor, drop the sensor probe(not the mounted
transmitter) into a cup of water. Hold until you hear

and repeat steps used to add sensor #1.
If you are adding sensors in quick succession,
your WaterCop will remain in program mode and

Repeat above steps for all of your wireless sensors
taking care to program them in the same order as
labeled. Repeat for all sensors. When finished Press
‘MODE’
twice to return to normal mode. If you need
to remove a device for any reason, please see the
instructions ‘TO REMOVE DEVICES’
TO POWER AND PROGRAM
MONITORING STATION
The WaterCop
®
PRO Monitoring station (part number
WPMS) provides instant feedback of sensor alarm and
trouble conditions as well as open/close status and
control of water supply. An audible alarm will sound
when any sensor detects flooding. The Hardwired
Sensor Monitoring station (part number WPMSH)
includes 8 zones to attach WaterCop
®
PRO hard wires
flood sensors (part number WPSC).
Plug the WaterCop
®
PRO Monitoring Station power
supply into a nearby 115VAC outlet. The LCD display
will beep once and read

until the
Monitoring Station has been programmed to the
WaterCop motor.
To Program Monitoring Station
Similar to flood sensors, the Monitoring Station
is programmed using the keys on the WaterCop
®
PRO motor.
On the
WaterCop

Pre-installation Testing of WaterCop
®
PRO
Although each unit is pre-tested at the factory, it is
highly recommended that the unit be tested prior to
installation to ensure proper operation in your home.
Operating the valve before connecting to the water
line will not damage it.
