Important!

Adherence to all local and municipal building, plumbing

and electrical codes as they pertain to the installation

of the WaterCop

System is of utmost importance.

Codes in some areas may require that a licensed

plumber be employed to do the installation, or that the

proper permits be obtained prior to any installation.

Even if local codes do not require a licensed plumber

to do the installation, it is necessary that the installer

has a professional level of competence in both

plumbing and electrical skills to perform the

installation. These instructions assume this level of

knowledge and skill. If in doubt, use a licensed

professional.

Pre-installation Testing of WaterCop

Although each unit is pre-tested at the factory, it is

highly recommended that the unit be tested prior to

installation to ensure proper operation in your home.

Operating the valve before connecting to the water line

will not damage it. But be careful!

• The valve closes with enough force to cut off a

finger.

• Be extremely careful to keep fingers and other

items out of the valve.

• Always use a grounded (3-prong) electrical outlet.

Manually Test the Valve

To test your WaterCop

system, gently pull the safety

plugs out from each end of the valve. Check the

position of the valve by looking in either threaded end.

In the open position, you will be able to see through the

valve; in the closed position only the shiny surface of

the ball will be visible. Place the base of the housing

on a sturdy surface, as close as feasibly possible to the

Installation Guide

location where it will be permanently installed. Plug the

WaterCop

power cord into a nearby grounded 115

VAC outlet. The valve position indicator lights should

now correspond to the actual position you noticed.

Green = Open. Red = Closed. Grasp both sides of the

housing (not the valve) with the valve pointing away

from you for safety. Being very careful not to have your

fingers or other objects near the valve openings, press

the colored circle just below the unlit indicator light. You

will hear the motor change the valve position. Again,

look into the threaded end of the valve to verify that the

valve has changed position. If it appears that the

valve has not turned from one position to the

other, DO NOT try to reposition the valve yourself

by inserting any tool or fingers into the valve.

Operate the valve several more times from open to

close, checking each time for proper positioning. If you

are experiencing trouble getting the valve to open and

shut, call the installation help line listed on the back

cover.

Manually Test the WaterHounds

Each WaterHound is a battery-operated radio

transmitter. The units are shipped without batteries.

Two fresh "AA" alkaline batteries are needed to power

each unit. To install batteries, remove the battery cover

retaining screws and cover located on the front of the

WaterHound, and install batteries in accordance with

the (+ and –) placement guide. Reinstall cover and

screws.

Follow suggestions found in the section titled

"Selection

WaterHound

recommendations where WaterHounds should be

placed. Locate a wall near the area you choose to

monitor. Avoid high traffic areas where cord or sensor

could be stepped on or kicked. Mount transmitter at a

convenient location on the wall, two to three feet above

the floor. This will help avoid damage to the

WaterHound and provide a strong signal. Use hook

and loop fastener included with the unit.

1. Following all safety precautions, make sure that the

WaterCop

is plugged in and the valve is in the
