3. Install wiring (The wire is installer supplied. Thermostat wire is acceptable) between the green circuit board connector and the Power
Supply, observing polarity, as shown on both the power module and the control panel. [+ to + and – to -]
Figure 8
Maximum run of thermostat wire; 18 gauge – 75 feet; 20 gauge – 50 feet;22 gauge – 35 feet.
Note:
If remote alarm detection is desired, connection to the alarm circuit can be made using the normally open contacts provided on
the terminal strip. These contacts are rated for 150mA. Do not exceed this amp range or damage to the Control Unit can occur.
Exceeding the current rating will void the warranty.

IMPORTANT! –
Do not insert the power supply into the 120 VAC outlet until the installation is complete.
4. Insert the green circuit board connector into the Control Unit.
Figure 10
5. Check the position of the valve reset located on the front of the Control Unit. The slots should indicate the valve is in the open
position. The 11 o’clock position is the open position.

closed position.
6. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks.
7. Insert the Power Supply into the lower receptacle of the Power Cutout Module marked "WDS Power Supply". The status lamp on
the Control Unit will be green.
8. Turn on the electricity to the water heater. The water heater should operate normally.
Test the System Prior to Leaving the Installation:
1. Place enough water in the drain pan or Water Dam to actuate the Water Detector Shutoff.
2. Upon actuation, the following should take place:
a. Power to the water heater should shut off immediately.
b. The water supply to the water heater should shut off immediately. The valve position indicator on the Control Unit should indi-
cate that the valve is in the closed position.
c. The green indicating lamp on the Control Unit should turn to red.
d. An audible alarm should sound, and if connected, the remote alarm should be actuated. The audible alarm can be silenced by
pressing the black silence button on the Control Unit.
3. If all of the above functions take place, the unit can be reset.
To Reset the Control Unit:
1. Remove the Water Detector Pad from the drain pan or Water Dam and wipe the moisture from the green circuit board.
2. Wipe any water from the drain pan or Water Dam.
3. Reposition the Water Detector Pad on the floor or in the drain pan.
4. Turn the valve position indicator on the Control Unit to the open position.
The Water Detector Shutoff is now set to operate in the event of water heater leakage.
Note:
Please note that the Floodsafe™ Water Detector Shutoff will not operate as intended without power. A battery back up is
available to allow operation for 36 to 48 hours in the event of a power outage.
