Installation Instructions

6. Turn on the water supply using the main shut-off valve. As the valve was cocked prior to installation the
valve will be open allowing the system to be vented.
7. If no leaks are present carefully refit the valve upper assembly to the baseplate ensuring the correct
engagement of the valve drive spigot into its socket; these are color marked yellow. Do not over tighten the
securing screws.
8. Replace the batteries in the Detector Valve and replace the battery cover.
Copper Pipe Work (See Detector Valve Illustrated Installation Assistant)
1. Fit the appropriate half of the transition fittings to the Detector Valve baseplate _ 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.
¾ inch Female Adaptor For ¾ inch copper pipe
1 inch Female Adaptor For 1 inch copper 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 there is no power or water supplies running behind where you are to drill.
3. Fit the remaining parts of the transition fittings to the pipe work using either solder or compression as
specified. If solder joints are to be used ensure that any combustible materials are protected from the heat
also that no heat is applied to the base plate.
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. Fit the base plate to the pipe work and connect the two parts of the transition fittings using joint
compound.
5. Secure the base plate using the plugged holes and screws provided.
6. Turn on the water supply using the main shut-off valve. As the valve was cocked prior to installation the
valve will be open allowing the system to be vented.
7. If no leaks are present carefully refit the valve upper assembly to the baseplate ensuring the correct
engagement of the valve drive spigot into its socket; these are color marked yellow. Do not over tighten the
securing screws.
8. Replace the batteries in the Detector Valve and replace the battery cover.
SECTION 6-Setting Your Leak Detector
Flow Test Mode. (See Remote Controller Illustrated Set-Up Assistant)
To check your LD20-D Leak Detector is correctly detecting water; determine that batteries have been fitted to
the Detector Valve if not fit, wait 2 minutes and locate the Remote Controller in the desired power socket (as
identified in the planning section of this guide) switch on the power if a switched outlet is to be used, wait a
minute for the units to settle, check the RF light is extinguished.
1. Press and hold the Reset button (6) until 2 “beeps” are heard, release, immediately press and release the
time adjust button (4) one bleep will be heard – all lights will extinguish.
2. Slowly open a faucet and the Green light adjacent to the Lo marking on the economiser will illuminate
indicating Low flow.
3. Open a number of faucets, the flow will need to be in excess of 2 gallons per minute, and the Red light
adjacent Hi marking will illuminate indicating High flows.
4. When no water is flowing in the system, neither light should be illuminated. If a light is illuminated, close
the Waterminder valve by pressing and releasing the manual water shut-off button on the Remote Controller,
the light will extinguish. This indicates a pre installation leak in the system. Repair this leak before setting up
the economiser.
5. Exit the flow test mode by pressing and releasing the re-set button 6, one bleep will be heard.
Auto Economiser Set Up (See Remote Controller Illustrated Set-up Assistant)
This mode computes the best protection flow/time settings for an occupied property and collects your water
usage data for the ‘economiser’ function and stores the data in its memory. To automatically set up your
system;
1. Press and hold down the manual/auto button (3) for 5 seconds, until the economiser lights (8) flash up and
down continuously, release the button.
2. The lights will flash up and down for 48 hours whilst it is recording your homes water usage pattern.
3. At the end of the 48 hour period the unit will indicate and automatically set to the ideal setting for your
home. This will be indicated by:
• The auto light being illuminated
• The central light on the economiser being illuminated (yellow light)
• The ideal time setting being illuminated
During this 48 hour learning period only flows exceeding 180 minutes duration will trigger an alarm.
It is important that no control inputs are made to the controller or valve during this set up period and that
you use water wisely to provide a low water use benchmark.
Away Setting (See Remote Controller Illustrated Set-up Assistant)
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 gallons /hour
or 2 minutes where the water flow is high, i.e. in the event of a significant leak or a burst pipe.
1. Test the valve by pressing the central valve close button (2)
2. Re-charge the valve
3. Press and release the Away button (5).
4. The central light on the Economiser display will flash as the valve is setting to the away mode.
5. On returning to the property press and release the Away button (5) and the unit will return to its original
setting
Plumber Setting
When a small leak has been detected such as a toilet overflow and a plumber is not immediately available
to rectify the problem this setting allows the property to have water whilst still providing a high degree of
protection.
1. Press and hold the Reset (6) button until 2 audible “beeps” are heard then immediately press the Away
button (5) and release.
2. This plumber setting will remain active for 4 days; thereafter the system will revert to the previous setting.
This setting can be cancelled by pressing the Reset button (6) at any time.
Note: Water leaks above 2 gallons/minute will alarm as normal in this setting.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
IF THE BATTERIES ARE REMOVED FROM THE DETECTOR VALVE, THE
DETECTOR VALVE WILL NOT OPERATE AND THE LEAK TRACKER WILL
NOT PROVIDE PROTECTION TO THE PROPERTY.
IF THE OPTIONAL TRANSFORMER IS USED IT IS STILL RECOMMENDED
THAT BATTERIES ARE INSTALLED TO COVER FOR THE POSSIBILITY
OF POWER FAILURE.
WHEN REPLACING BATTERIES ALWAYS REMOVE THE OLD BATTERIES
AND REPLACE WITH THE NEW BATTERIES AT THE SAME TIME.
