Connecting the LeakBreaker To Your Wireless Network

Before beginning, have the following information available:

a. LeakBreaker Serial Number (located on the inside of the control

panel on the connectors) See Figure B.

b. Network Name (SSID): this is your home’s wireless network

c. Network password (key)

After connecting the power, the unit should show the LED GREEN, but

m flash ORANGE every 3 seconds indicating Wi-Fi setup mode is enabled.

a. The LeakBreaker will remain in this mode for 5 minutes.

b. If 5 minutes passes without connecting to Wi-Fi, your LeakBreaker

will exit the Wi-Fi Setup Mode and no longer be visible to wireless

devices. Press MUTE and OPEN button at same time until you

hear first beep to enter Wi-Fi Setup Mode.

Control Panel and Wiring

Press the tabs on the side of the control panel and pull apart to separate

the front panel from the back panel.

Using the hardware provided, mount the back of the control panel in a

location close enough to the water heater so that both the actuator and

sensor wiring can be connected to the control panel.

If the sensor is to be installed in a metal pan or on a damp surface, insert

the four (4) feet provided into the four (4) holes on the corners of the sen-

sor. (These feet may already be installed.)

With screws on the sensor quick connect facing toward the back of the

controller, plug the sensor wiring into the control panel port marked sen-

sor. Place the sensor on the floor, at the base of the water heater, making

sure it is located where water is likely to flow in the event of a leak. If the

water heater is in a pan, place the sensor inside of the pan. If additional

sensors were purchased, locate them in different areas around the water

heater.

With the screws on the actuator quick connect facing toward the back of

the controller, plug the actuator wiring into the control panel port marked

valve.

Two (2) sets of dry contacts are provided. Each set includes normally open

and normally closed connections. They can be used to send a signal to

any device requiring an open or closed signal, such as a security system.

If using batteries, install them into the battery holder. Be sure to insert

each battery in the correct orientation as indicated in the battery holder. If

electrical power is being used the power cord may also be connected.

LeakBreaker can be powered by batteries, power supply or both.

LeakBreaker with eLink must use AC power supply. This model is

equipped with optional battery back up.

Assemble the front on the control panel to the back of the panel.

If your LeakBreaker features eLink™, continue with the steps below

immediately after installation to setup Wi-Fi

and register your device to

enable notifications

NOTE: When attaching the wires to the actuator quick

connect, the black wire must match up to the "B" on the

control and the red wire must match up to the "R" on the

control. The LeakBreaker will not function correctly if

it is not wired correctly.

NOTE: LeakBreakers without eLink, continue to “Testing Your Installation” on page 4.

ATTENTION: eLink setup instructions continue on page 3. You must com-

plete all of the required steps in order to connect your device and start

receiving status change alerts!

ATTENTION: When using the LeakBreaker with

eLink, AC power must be used. Battery back up is an

available option. Wireless functionality shortens

battery life significantly if AC power is not used!

NOTE: Make sure valve and sensor are plugged in

first. If not, follow instructions for control panel

and wiring. Double check that your device is con-

nected to power before proceeding with eLink

setup.
