Placement of Flood Sensors

Each WaterCop
Classic System can support an unlimited number of wireless flood sensors . Additional sensors may be
®
added at any time . A sensor consists of a transmitter (a rectangular box) and a sensor probe (a small disc at the end of the
wire, with two short gold prongs protruding from one side) . Flood sensors should be placed in locations where leaks are
most likely to occur .

Suggested Locations

•
Washing Machines
•
Dishwashers
•
Kitchen Sinks
•
Bathroom Sinks
•
Pipes that are prone to freezing (freeze sensors are also available)
The transmitter in the flood sensors and the receiver in the WaterCop
communicate by radio frequency . The smaller the distance between
them, the stronger the signal will be . The maximum transmission
distance is somewhat dependent upon the building layout and type
of construction, but will be in the 150'-200' range . The transmitter
(attached to the sensor) must be kept dry . It is NOT splash proof .
Sensors should never be placed outdoors . The sensor probe detects
the water from a leak and is completely waterproof .
Sensor probes should be placed on the floor or in areas where
water would tend to accumulate rapidly in common leak or
overflow situations .
Make sure that any water from a leak will drain toward the sensor
probe, not away from it. Avoid high traffic areas where the cord or
sensor could be stepped on or kicked and where children or pets
may disturb it .
The sensor probe should be placed FLAT on the floor so water can be
detected as soon as it begins to accumulate. The sensor probe may be
secured to the floor with adhesive dots (supplied) . Do not use hook and
loop fasteners to secure sensor to floor as this will raise the probe too
high above the floor . To avoid damage to transmitters and to provide for
the strongest signal possible, the transmitter portion of the flood sensor should be mounted in a convenient location (on the
wall, in a cabinet, closet, etc . ) two to three feet above the floor . (See Installation section for details on sensor installation.)

Flood Sensor Battery Life

Fresh, high quality "AA" alkaline batteries are recommended . Assuming the sensor has not detected and transmitted a leak
condition (standby mode); high quality "AA" alkaline batteries should last between three to five years .
Sensors will sound an audible "chirp" sound when batteries are low . Replace batteries when low or during periodic
maintenance to ensure proper power and function . Re-test each unit in its regular location (see Installation Manual) .
Operating the WaterCop
The normal position of the valve is open to allow full flow throughout the plumbing system . WaterCop
which does not restrict the flow capacity of your plumbing system . The indicator lights on the face of the WaterCop
show the position of the valve .
If the valve is in the closed position (the red light will be lit), press "OPEN" and the valve will move to the open position
(green indicator will light) .
When water comes in direct contact with a flood sensor, an RF (radio frequency) signal is transmitted to the WaterCop
the valve closes, turning off the water source to protect the building from additional water damage .
