____________
Turn the source water you will be connecting to off. Preferably, the controller will be installed
as far upstream (closest to where the water is access from the main plumbing) as possible from
the device you will be protecting, such as under the kitchen sink or behind an appliance. If you
are going to cut an existing plumbing line, allow for an extra 1/2” of tubing on each side of the
controller valve. Do not put valve ahead (in front of) a fire sprinkler system.
Step 2: Test the Controller
VERY IMPORTANT:
DO NOT STICK ANYTHING INSIDE THE VALVE WHILE IT IS NOT
CONNECTED AND INSTALLED IN A WATER SUPPLY
SERIOUS INJURY OR VALVE DAMAGE WILL OCCUR!
Open the valve by pressing the middle button on the controller. The green light will flash until
the valve is open. Now the controller is open and loaded. Press the left close button. The red
light will flash until the valve is closed. Press the open button again to open the valve.
Put a coin into the sensor or put a small amount of water on the sensor. The valve will close
sounding the alarm and flashing the LED 4 times continuously. After the valve is closed and
the red light goes off, open and reset the valve by pressing the open button. The system is not
ready for installation.. Now the controller is confirmed to be working properly and is ready to
be mounted and the valve connected to your water supply.
