open position. Leave the WaterCop

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. 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

onds). The signal will be a series of short beeps

followed by a long tone. This test simulates a leak,

and let you check for interference between the

sensor and the WaterCop

3. Take the sensor out of the water and carefully dry off

the sensor and prongs. It should stop beeping.

4. Go back to your WaterCop

valve has closed (the red indicator light will be lit).

5. Keeping all objects away from the valve, reset the

WaterCop

by pushing the green circle below the

"Valve Open" text.

6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 until you have tested each

sensor directly in the locations you wish to monitor.

Troubleshooting

• If the flood sensor does not close the valve, check

that the batteries are good and that they are

installed properly. Repeat test.

• If the batteries are good and the flood sensor

still does not make the valve close, remove it from

its installed location and place it close to the valve.

Repeat test.

• If the sensor operates properly when it is close to

the WaterCop

valve, but not when it is installed at

its remote location, try moving the sensor to a

different position or try a different flood sensor.

Some possible causes of signal reduction are

steel construction, foil backed insulation or other

large metallic barriers.

• If the unit still does not function properly, check the

digital code settings (see instructions for

changing digital codes).

• If the code matches the code on the WaterCop

valve, and it still does not function properly,

replace the sensor.

Installation of Flood Sensor

Once testing is complete, finish installation of the flood-

sensors by unwinding the cord and placing the sensor

probe on the floor at the lowest point (where water

would naturally collect) in the area to be monitored. Be

sure that the sensor probe is 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 tape, taking care that the metal

probes are not covered. Verify that the transmitter and

wire are clear of doors, drawers, sharp edges, or other

hazards that may cause damage.

Prior to installation, read all warnings and

precautions carefully.

purchased as part of kit.

Read Operating Instructions before any installation is

attempted. All sections of this Installation Guide and

accompanying Owner's Manual should be read and

completely understood.

Review Location and Type of Main Supply Line

The main supply line should enter the house in either

the basement or a crawl space beneath the first floor.

The water main shut-off valve is usually located near

where the line comes through the basement wall or just

after the water line enters the living area from the crawl

space. In apartments, townhouses, and manufactured

housing constructions the water main shut-off valve

can usually be found in close proximity to the water

heater installation. The WaterCop

the main shut-off valve in your home. The water supply
