When retrofitting an existing Model 113RFP Flood Protection ACV, 

disconnect the electrical power before retrofitting the old Junction 

Box to the new one.

CAUTION

2. Installing and Wiring/Retrofi tting the Control Box

Installation and Operation

WARNING

!

Ensure that all power supply to the Control Box is turned 

off before making any connections to the Control Box. 

Failure to do so may result in electrocution, personal 

injury, and /or death.

WARNING

!

Certified electrician to connect 110 VAC power and Control Box to 

Relay Box.

NOTICE

During the retrofitting process on the 113RFP, the system 

will not be monitoring for flood detection or protection..

NOTICE

For All Installations

The Control Box is designed to be mounted to a wall using the 

mounting tabs and screws provided with the kit, or it can be 

mounted on the ACV.
  1.  To open the Control Box, loosen the four screws located 

on the corners of its cover to access the internals of the 

Control Box.

  2.  Use a 300V, 14-24 AWG cable (not provided) to connect 

the Flood Sensor to the Control Box. Insert one end of the 

cable into wiring gland on the Control Box and attach two 

wires to the terminals labeled FLOOD SENSOR. There is 

no polarity. 

  3.  Inset the other end of the cable into the opening on the 

Flood Sensor. Attach one wire to each terminal block locat-

ed at the top of the probes. There is no polarity.

  4.  Optionally, use a cable to connect to a Building 

Management System or alarm for remote indications of 

a continuous water discharge at the terminals labeled 

REMOTE TRIP. There is no polarity.

  5.  Using the four-conductor communications cable with the 

kit, connect to the Cellular Gateway using the terminals 

labeled WIRELESS. Insert the cable through the wiring 

gland and attach one wire to each terminal. Cellular 

Gateway connections will be described in the next section, 

Installing the Cellular Gateway.

Adjusting the Time Delay

The Flood Sensor has a delay feature which starts a timer once 

it detects water. The timer counts down before signaling that 

there’s a discharge occurring. You can adjust the time delay to 

avoid having the valve close due to intermittent or nuisance relief 

valve discharge. The delay is adjustable from 0 to 120 seconds, 

and the default is 60 seconds.
Adjust the time delay by pressing the + or - button in the Control 

Box.

We recommend setting the delay between 3-60 seconds. 

However, the ideal set point can vary widely depending on the 

product application, including drain size, location, backflow 

preventer, water pressure, and tolerance for discharge. For 

example, if your backflow preventer releases water each time a 

booster pump turns on upstream and you know it will release 

water for 10 seconds before the system stabilizes, you can set 

the time delay to 15 seconds.

• The terminal block accepts 14 to 24 AWG.
• Relay Box terminals have 24VDC/AC, 2A max.
•  The Control Box uses an external 24VDC, 1.04A, 25W 

supply. This also powers the Cellular Gateway.

• The Sensor Probe is passive.
