Standing Pilot Operation:

1.  Remove the thermocouple from the gas valve. 

Figure 8

2.  Install the Power Cutout Module supplied with the Water Detector Shutoff to the gas valve. 

Figure 9

3.  Install the thermocouple to the Power Cutout Module. 

Figure 10

4.  Remove the green circuit board terminal strip from the Control Unit by pulling straight out on the terminal strip. 

Figure 11

5.   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 Supply and the control panel. [+ to + and – to -] 

Figure 12 

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.

6. Insert the green circuit board connector into the Control Unit. 

Figure 14

7.  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 posi-
