Local electrical and plumbing codes should be consulted to ensure that the
installation is in complete compliance. (See Installation section for details.)
Notice: WaterCop® should be installed downstream of existing shut-off valves and
pressure reducers . Install 18" downstream from existing indoor water meters to allow
for future meter maintenance .

Placement of Wireless Sensors

Each WaterCop® Classic System can support an unlimited number of wireless
leak 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) . Leak sensors should be placed
in locations where leaks are most likely to occur .

WARNING:
sprinkler systems.
The transmitter in the leak 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 .
