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  

indicate 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.
4. Ensure the pilot is lit.

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.

5.  Ensure the pilot is lit.

The Water Detector Shutoff is now set to operate in the event of 

water heater leakage.
 

 Note:

 

Temporary loss of power to the control unit will not cause the 

pilot to be extinguished. The control unit will keep the pilot on 

for up to 8 hours.

 

 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.
