TESTING & MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: SEMIANNUAL TESTING

Test the ValveSentry™ device and the valve it is attached to at least twice a year. As a simple way to remember this, we recommend that

you test it when Daylight Savings time started in March and again when it ends in November. In addition, pick one of these dates as the

annual time to replace your batteries.

If the ValveSentry™ device ever fails to test correctly after taking the actions recommended in “Trouble Shooting” below, have it replaced

immediately! If the ValveSentry™ device is not working properly; it cannot react to a water emergency. Similarly, if your valve does not

turn on or off, it must be serviced in order for the ValveSentry™ device to operate.

TESTING PROCEDURE.

1. Push the close button on the controller. The valve sentry should close the valve. If the Valve Sentry tries to open the valve, reverse the

motor wires that connect to the controller. (This is not an issue if the motor wire includes a connector to connect to the controller.)

2. Push the open button to make sure the Valve Sentry opens the valve.

3. Test the water sensor: Touch the water sensor with a wet sponge or paper towel. This should close the valve that the ValveSentry

mounted device is attached to. Use the Open button on the Controller to open the valve again. Repeat with each water sensor if you

have more than one.

If the ValveSentry™ device does not test properly:

1. Make sure that the device is plugged into a working power outlet and/or has fresh batteries and that they are installed correctly.

2. Make sure the valve the device is attached to opens and closes using normal force. A rusted or jammed valve cannot be operated by

the ValveSentry™ device.

3. Test the mounted device: Push the Close button on the Controller. The device should close the valve that it is attached to.

a. If this does not work, then we know the problem is with the mounted device. Proceed to step 4.

b. If this works, then we know that the problem is with either the water sensor or the wire connection if your unit has a wired

connection.

i. If the Water Sensor is connected by wire, check the wire to make sure that it is not cut or damaged.

ii. Make sure the wires are connected to the Controller, (See Step 3 under “Connecting Controller” above).
