Flood Sensor Battery Life
High quality alkaline “AA” batteries are recommended.
Under normal conditions (standby mode) the batteries
should last about one year. Each transmitter has a
low battery signal. Replace batteries at least annually
or when low battery signal is detected. Re-test each
unit in its regular location (see installation manual).
If you are away from home for long periods of time,
transmitters should be tested upon your return to
ensure proper function.
Operating the WaterCop
®
PRO System
The normal position of the valve is open to allow full
flow throughout the plumbing system. WaterCop
®
PRO is a full port ball valve which does not restrict the
flow capacity of your plumbing system. The indicator
lights on the face of the WaterCop
®
PRO will show the
position of the valve.
If the valve is in the closed position (the red light will be
lit), press “open” and the valve will move to the open
position (green indicator will light).
When water comes in direct contact with a flood
sensor, an RF (radio frequency) signal is transmitted to
the WaterCop
®
PRO and the valve closes, turning off
the water source to protect the building from additional
water damage. The red indicator light will signal that
the valve is now in the closed position. The valve will
remain closed until the unit is manually reset on the
WaterCop
®
PRO panel. After the plumbing problem
is fixed, reset the WaterCop
®
PRO by pressing “open
valve” (green circle) on the face of the WaterCop
®
PRO. Valve will open and green indicator will be lit.
See illustration at left.
Note: If major repairs are needed to correct the
plumbing system, it is recommended that the manual
shut-off valve upstream of the WaterCop
®
PRO also
be closed during the repairs. Close the main water
shut-off valve and unplug the WaterCop
®
PRO before
making repairs on the plumbing system.
Note: In case of a power failure, the WaterCop
®
PRO
use the manual shut-off valve to turn the water off in
case of an emergency. When power is restored, the
WaterCop
®
PRO will remain in its last known position
indicated by the red or green lights on the face of the
unit.
