Follow suggestions found in the section titled "Placement of Leak Sensors" for

recommendations where sensors 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 sensor and provide a strong signal . Use provided

mounting hardware .

1 . Following all safety precautions, make sure that the WaterCop® is plugged in

and the valve is in the open position . Leave the WaterCop® near your main water

line, on a sturdy surface . It is important that anyone who will be near the valve is

aware of the safety precautions, and does not insert any object into the valve, or

handle the valve during the test .

2 . Remove the back cover of the sensors to install batteries . Use two AA Alkaline

batteris, match polarity .

3 . At one of the locations you have chosen to monitor, drop the sensor probe (not the

mounted transmitter) into a cup of water . Hold until you hear the sensor transmit

a signal to the WaterCop® (about 5 seconds) and beep . This test simulates a leak,

and lets you check for interference between the sensor and the WaterCop . ®

4 . Take the sensor out of the water and carefully dry off the sensor and prongs .

It should stop beeping .

5 . Go back to your WaterCop® and verify that the valve has closed (the red indicator

light will be lit) .

6 . Keeping all objects away from the valve, reset the WaterCop® by pushing the

green circle below the Open text .

7 . Repeat steps 2 through 5 until you have tested each sensor directly in the locations

you wish to monitor .

Troubleshooting

•

If the wireless sensor does not close the valve, check that the sensor has power

and batteries and/or AC adapter is installed correctly . Repeat test .

•

If the batteries have power and the wireless sensor still does not make the valve

close, physically remove it from its installed location and place it next to the

WaterCop® unit . Repeat test . If the sensor operates properly when it is closer to the

Water Control Panel, but not when it is installed at its remote location, try moving

the sensor to a different position or try a different wireless sensor . Some possible

causes of signal reduction are steel construction, foil backed insulation or other

large metallic barriers . You may also use a range enhancing repeater (WPR sold

separately) to extend the effective range of the wireless signals.

•

If the unit still does not function properly, check the digital code settings

(see instructions for changing digital codes) .
