Installation:
Perpendicular
Installation:

Installing Shuttie
Before you begin installing Shuttie, watch the video at alertlabs.com/ShuttieInstall.
Remove Shuttie from the box and remove the plastic wrap from the batteries.
NOTE: When the batteries are rst installed and the compartment is closed, Shuttie will automatically
start a cleaning process where it will close and then open again.

Inserting The Batteries
Loosen the screw on the bottom of the battery compartment to remove the cap using a Phillips-head #1
screwdriver. Place all 4 x CR123 batteries into the compartment with ‘
- ’ end facing out. Place the cap back onto
the compartment. Align the edges of the cap and compartment before tightening the screw to make sure it closes
properly. Press the orange button briey to check the Shuttie LED status color. It should blink green.

RED - Error
BLUE - Communication fault
GREEN - Operating
OFF - No power

Installing The Adapter
Open a water tap briey to conrm that the valve is open and water is running. If the valve is closed, turn it 90
degrees using a wrench. Select the actuator mount according to installation type. Remove the one you need from
the box.
LONG ACTUATOR MOUNT - In-line installation SHORT ACTUATOR MOUNT - Perpendicular installation
Remove the grey star-shaped valve adapter insert from inside the actuator mount.

Perpendicular installation

Place the valve adapter insert onto the valve. The direction of the rectangular slot will depend on the type of
installation (see images above).
PARALLEL to the pipe - In-line installation
PERPENDICULAR to the pipe - Perpendicular installation.

PERPENDICULAR
INSTALLATION
IN-LINE
INSTALLATION

Slide the gray actuator mount over the valve adapter insert, aligning the screw holes on the water valve.
NOTE: There are 2 holes for screws on opposite corners of the actuator mount that align to the holes on
the water valve.

Next you will need the bag of screws, lock washers, and nuts. Insert the screws through the mount and valve.
Tighten the nuts with lock washers onto the screws.
NOTE: Fully tighten the screws with the hexagon heads inside the cut-outs in the adapter mount.

Mounting Shuttie
Make sure Shuttie is set to the open position. When the line of the brass actuator shaft is horizontal, Shuttie is in the
open position . The metal locking pin must also be pulled out so that Shuttie can slide onto the actuator mount.
6
Brass actuator shaft in
open position

Slide Shuttie onto the actuator mount by inserting the brass actuator shaft into the rectangular slot.
7

Make sure that you have access to the metal locking pin once Shuttie is attached. Push the metal locking pin into its
slots to lock the valve adapter in place.
8

Now you can test that valve will close. Press and hold the orange button for 5 seconds then release. The line of
the brass actuator shaft will move to a vertical position to match . Turn on a water tap to conrm that water ow
through the pipe stops. Test that the valve will open. Press and hold the orange button again for 5 seconds then
release. The line of the actuator shaft will move to the horizontal position to match .
NOTE: When testing is complete, remember to turn the water tap o again.

How do I know if the water valve is open?
Open a water tap briey to conrm that the valve is open and water is running.
How do I open the water valve if it’s closed?
If the valve is closed at the beginning of the installation process, turn the valve 90 degrees with a wrench.
After the adapter is installed you can use the T-shaped key that comes in the Shuttie box.
What if the valve is stuck?!
If the valve gets stuck (not fully open or closed), try again by holding the orange button for 5 seconds. If this is not
successful, remove Shuttie from the actuator mount and turn the valve using the T-shaped key.
