SECTION 4-Pre Installation Radio Frequency (RF) range and performance checks

1. Determine the correct location for the Detector Valve; attention must be made at this stage to the

considerations outlined in the “Planning the Installation” section of this guide. Ensure that both the Optional

AC input port and Valve close off button are accessible.

2. Position the Detector Valve as close to this location ideally, on a bench, remove the battery cover and fit 4

x AA batteries (not supplied) ensuring the correct polarity; It is important that a good quality battery such as

Duracell, Sony or Ever-Ready are used if the time between battery changes is to be optimised.

3. The Detector Valve is dispatched from the factory in an un-cocked state and needs to be cocked prior to

testing. Rotate the valve Control Knob which is on the top of the valve body 90° clockwise to “cock” the valve;

you will hear the unit click when the correct rotational position is reached. Do not rotate the Control Knob

anti-clockwise in either the un-cocked or cocked position. This operation may be stiff the first time the Control

Knob is turned as the valve assembly is coated with a small amount of a protective gel prior to leaving the

factory, this gel is safe for use in domestic water installations (NSF approved) and will flush out quickly when

the installation is commissioned following installation.

4. After fitting the batteries in the Detector Valve wait 1 minute and then place the Remote Controller in a

convenient 110V AC socket close to the Detector Valve - switch on the power if a switched socket is used:

• The Remote Controller will ‘bleep’ three times and the lights will flash

• When this flashing stops only the manual setting light 15, centre light 8 and a time setting

light 7 should be lit (steady no flashing) the units will now be in communication with each

other.

• Should the RF warning light on the Remote Controller be lit, press and release the reset button

(6) the unit will then repeat its communication programme (this may take a few seconds during

which period the RF warning light will flash).

• To test the communications, press and release the manual water shut-off button (2) on the

Remote Controller and the Detector Valve will close. There will be a delay of up to 30 seconds

for the Detector Valve to close THIS IS NORMAL

Remove the Remote Controller from the socket and move it to the desired location in your home – leave the

batteries in the detector valve.

Place the Remote Controller in a convenient socket in that location, switch on the power if a switched socket

is used.

• The Remote Controller will ‘bleep’ three times and the lights will flash

• When this flashing stops only the manual setting light 15, centre light 8 and a time setting light

7 should be lit (steady no flashing) the units will now be in communication with each other.

• Should the RF warning light on the Remote Controller be lit, press and release the reset button

(6) the unit will then repeat its communication programme (this may take a few seconds during

which period the RF warning light will flash).

• Should the RF warning light (9) not extinguish repeating the above procedure up to a maximum

of 5 times should the RF light still fail to extinguish this indicates that the RF as at its limit due to

distance or materials of construction or a combination of both, move the Remote Controller

closer to the valve and test again.

Note: As a final check before moving the Remote Controller the Remote Controller power should be switched

off and a battery removed from the Detector Valve. After 60 seconds replace the battery in the Detector Valve

wait 2 minutes and switch on the power to the Remote Controller, this resets the RF system. Should the RF

light still not extinguish the units must be moved closer together.

The RF communication between the remote controller and detector valve can take several seconds between

pressing a command button and the programming of the Detector Valve. The central light on the Economiser

on the controller will flash intermittently during this period, do not press any buttons while this occurs.

Should a control input fail, press the reset button and repeat the original command.

Do not attempt further installation until this test is successful.

SECTION 5-Installing the Leak Tracker System

Detector Valve Fitting Installation (See visual Set-up Assistant)

1. Remove the batteries from the Detector Valve, cock the valve and then carefully separate the Detector Valve

assembly into 2 parts: the upper valve and lower baseplate. To achieve this loosen and remove the 2 posi-drive

screws located on either side of the unit under the battery cover. This is best done on a flat surface so as not

to drop either part. There is no danger from the cocked valve.

2. Dry fit the transition fittings to the Detector Valve base plate.

3. Measure the total length of the Detector Valve and transition fittings taking into consideration any fitting

sockets. Mark on the pipe to be cut, the section to be removed to accommodate the Detector Valve and

transition fittings.

4. Ensure the water supply is closed off at the main shutoff valve.

5. Drain down the system, ensure that the drain down point is below the point to be cut and that the main

shutoff valve is working. With the system fully drained some water will still leak out when the first cut is made

in the pipe therefore have a bowl or bucket handy to catch this.

6. Make the first cut through the pipe work at the bottom mark on the length to be removed using the

appropriate tool for the material of the pipe.

7. Recheck the length to be removed by holding the Detector Valve and transition fittings (loose assembled)

next to the pipe.

8. Make the second through cut and remove the section of pipe.

9. Remove any burrs around the two pipe ends as necessary using emery cloth – ensure no debris falls into

the pipe, protect when de-burring.

CPVC Pipe Work

1. Fit the appropriate transition fittings to the Detector Valve baseplate ¾ inch male thread using PTFE/Teflon

tape or pipe jointing compound to ensure a seal on the thread ‘do not over apply the jointing compound’ only

apply as the manufacturers instructions. At this point the base plate is ready to be fitted to the pipe work.

1 inch Female Adaptor For 1 inch CPVC pipe

2. Using the baseplate as a template mark the position on the wall where the baseplate securing screws are to

be fitted. Remove the baseplate and drill and fix the plugs in position.

Caution: ensure that there is no power or water supplies running behind where you are to drill.

3. Fit the Detector Valve and transition fittings to the pipe work using the CPVC primer and cement as the

manufactures instructions on the product.

IMPORTANT: ensure that the direction of water flow as marked on the base plate is the same as that in

the pipe work before finally fixing.

4. Leave the cement for at least 1 hour to cure fully.

5. Secure the base plate using the plugged holes and screws provided.
