CONTROL BUTTONS
Protective Button Cover Flap. (1) To ensure no
accidental control inputs are made to the system keep
the protective flap closed during normal use.
Valve Close Button. (2) Press to shut off the incoming
water supply. The valve must then be manually reset
every time the Valve Close Button has been pressed.
To ensure reliable service test once every month by
pressing this button. Failure to do this will invalidate the
Guarantee.
Manual / Auto Mode Selector Button. (3) Press to
select either Manual or Auto Mode. LEDs 15 or 11 (see
diagram) will indicate which mode has been selected.
Manual Time Adjust Button. (4) (Use in manual
mode only) Pressing this button repeatedly will select
the desired water flow time on the time display (7). This
is the amount of time that water is allowed to flow
continuously before the alarm is sounded indicating a
problem. After a further 10 minutes the valve will close,
shutting off the water supply if the reset button is not
pressed to cancel the alarm. When in the manual mode
should no flow occurs for 12 hr, the flow control time will
automatically set to the minimum time setting of 15
minutes for added protection. The initial setting is then
restored following the first usage of water.
Away Mode Selector Button. (5) This mode should
be selected if the property is to be left unoccupied for
longer than 24 hrs. In the event of any abnormal flow or
leak the water supply is closed after a period of 10
minutes on flows below 3 gallon/hour or 2 minutes
where the water flow is higher, i.e. in the event of a
significant leak or a burst pipe.
Reset Button. (6) The Reset button is used to cancel
an alarm signal or for cancelling any incorrect user
input.
MODES
Auto Mode computes the best protection flow / time
settings for an occupied property and collects your
water use data for the ‘economiser’ function and stores
the data in its memory. To automatically set up your
system; press and hold down the manual/auto button
(3) for 5 seconds, until the economiser lights (8) scroll
up and down continuously. The lights will scroll up and
down for the 48 hour sampling period. When a single
time light remains illuminated the system has then auto-
set. During this 48 hour learning period only flows
exceeding 180 minutes duration will trigger an alarm.
It is important that no other control inputs are made to the
controller or valve during this set up period & that you use
water wisely during the “set up” period to provide a low
water use benchmark.
Plumber Mode when a small non damaging leak such
as a running toilet valve has been detected and a
plumber is not immediately available to rectify the
problem, press and hold the Reset (6) button until 2
audible “beeps” are heard then immediately press the
Away button (5) and release. This plumber mode will
remain active for 4 days; thereafter the system will
revert to the previous setting. This mode can be
cancelled by pressing the Reset button (6) at any time.
Note: Water leaks above 3 gallons/m will alarm as
normal in this setting.
CONTROL LEDs
Manual Time Display LEDs. (7) (15 - 180 minutes)
Displays the chosen time setting when the manual
control function is selected or the unit has auto set.
Economiser Water Use Gage LEDs. (8) This function
requires the unit to have been set in the Auto Set Up
mode on commissioning or at a later stage. Normally
the gage will show at least two lights in either Auto or
Manual modes, the centre (amber) light is the average
daily water use computed at Auto Set up, the second
light shows whether the previous days water usage is
great or lower than the average daily use pattern
recorded at the time of set up. It is recommended that
Auto Set Up facility is used to recalibrate the
economiser base data if water usage patterns change
due to seasonal effects such as irrigation systems,
swimming pool filling or change of occupancy patterns
etc.
RF Signal Strength Warning LEDs. (9) If lit indicates
the RF signal is weak. Press reset (6) to cancel the
light. If the light is still lit move the controller to a power
socket closer to the valve and test again until the light is
extinguished.
Battery Low Warning LEDs. (10) If lit indicates the
valve batteries are low (or when installed the optional
wet sensor battery is low). Individual battery inspection
and replacement is required - if ignored the valve
automatically shuts off the water.
Manual Mode LED. (11) Lit when Manual Mode is
selected.
Wet Sensor Alarm LED. (12) (Optional) Lit when
water has been turned off by a wet sensor signal.
Audio Alarm Bleeper. (13)
Leak Detection Warning LED. (14) Lit when a leak or
abnormal flow has been detected.
Auto Mode LED. (15) Lit when the Auto mode is
selected.
Away Mode LED. (16) Lit when the Away mode is
selected. Always test the valve prior to vacations.
Plumber Mode LED. (17) Lit when a small leak has
been detected such as a toilet overflow.
Once the system has been set the controller can be
unplugged and relocated to any convenient socket
provided this is within RF range without losing the system
settings or compromising the protection.
