OWNER’S MANUAL / INSTALLATION GUIDE
Introduction
WV-01 is a patented, wireless, water detection and automatic water shut-off system that works as an automatic
valve for a home’s main water supply line and can be easily installed by a certified professional plumber.
WV-01 is a new professional grade, electrically operated water shut-off valve introduced by FortrezZ LLC.
Every year nearly 1 million families have their homes ruined and their lives overturned by water damage and the
subsequent repairs. The WV-01 used in a Z-Wave home automation network along with Z-Wave water alarm
sensors (WWA-0X), helps to reduce or eliminate water damage caused by leaky pipes or faulty appliances.
WV-01 can also work as a Water Level / Irrigation device. It can be set up to be on a ‘timed’ schedule using a
Smart Controller inside a Z-Wave home automation network.
WV-01 operates in a Z-Wave enabled home network which uses the latest and most successful wireless home
automation technology to provide protection 24/7, 365 days a year.
System Components
The Emergency Water Shut-off Valve System has two basic components:
1. A motorized ball valve and housing containing a wireless Z-Wave radio transceiver which automatically
turns off your water supply when any wireless water alarm sensor detects water or low, potentially
freezing temperature.
2. One or more wireless water alarm sensors (WWA-0X), which detect water from a leak or overflow, or
detect potentially freezing temperatures, and cause a wireless Z-Wave signal to be sent to the WV-01 to
turn off the water supply.
