it to be located anywhere a leak is likely to occur, or

where water might cause damage. The WaterCop

requires household electrical power (common 115

VAC, grounded outlet) and will not operate during a

power outage.

Selection of WaterCop

The WaterCop

valve should be installed in the main

water line just downstream from the main shut-off valve

in your home. The front control panel of the

WaterCop

should be easily visible in order to see

what position the valve is in (open/closed). It should

also be easily accessible for resetting after a leak has

been detected and the water supply has been shut off.

While the WaterCop

is completely supported by the

piping in your plumbing system when it is installed,

placement of the valve should ensure that the housing

is protected from use as a step or from other excessive

loads. The WaterCop

power, and the provided power cord must be plugged

into a properly grounded power source (115 VAC). Do

not use an extension cord.

Selection of WaterHound Locations

Each WaterCop

WaterHounds. Additional WaterHounds may be added

at any time. A WaterHound consists of a transmitter (a

rectangular box with an antenna) and a sensor (a small

disc at the end of the wire, with two short gold prongs

protruding from one side). The WaterHound should be

placed in locations where leaks are most likely to

occur.

The transmitter in the WaterHound and receiver in

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 WaterHound transmitter (attached to the sensor)

must be kept dry.

WaterHound should never be placed outdoors. The

sensor detects the water from a leak and is completely

waterproof. Sensors 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,

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

should be placed FLAT on the floor so water can be

detected as soon as it begins to accumulate. The

sensor may be secured to the floor with adhesive tape.

To avoid damage to transmitters and to provide for the

strongest signal possible, the WaterHound transmitter

should be mounted in a convenient location (on the

wall, in a cabinet, closet, etc.) two to three feet above

the floor (see illustration on page 4). (See Installation

section for details on WaterHound installation

WaterHound Battery Life

High quality alkaline "AA" batteries are recommended.

Under normal conditions (standby mode) the batteries

should last about one year. Each transmitter has a low

battery signal (audible chirp). Replace batteries at

least annually or when low battery signal is detected.

Re-test each unit in its regular location (see installation

manual). If you are away from home for long periods of

time, transmitters should be tested upon your return to

ensure proper function
