1. Introducon and how it works
The AquaTrip is a programmable electro-mechanical Water Trip Switch. It monitors water ow into the property and is
able to shut o the water automacally in the event of a leak, a cracked pipe, a tap or faucet le running, a leaky toilet
cistern or some other plumbing failure. It can detect very low water ow, and is more sensive than most water
meters. It consists of a Control Panel wirelessly connected to a Control Box, connected by a cable to a Flow Sensor,
with an integrated Shuto Valve.
The System works by measuring water ow over me, and is equipped with a Flow Sensor linked to a Timer. You must
program the Flow Time seng on the AquaTrip with the longest period of me you think water may ow connuously
on the property (without a break in ow), during normal use. This Flow Time can be set from 1 minute to 3 hours. The
System will shut o the water if it sees connuous water ow for longer than the Flow Time that you have
programmed into it.
For example: If you set the Flow Time to 30 minutes and the water ows connuously for more than 30 minutes, the
System will trip and shut o the water supply.
As long as all water ow stops at some point within the 30 minutes, the Flow Sensor mer is reset. The mer then
restarts from zero when the water ow resumes.
WARNING - Before you operate or program the System, read all the warnings in this manual. If you do not
understand the warnings, please contact your plumber for advice or contact - [email protected]
In order for the System to respond as quickly as possible to a leak, it has mulple modes which allow for variable Flow
Times for dierent mes of the day and or night. These can be manually or automacally acvated if you are going to
be away from home, or used to enhance over night detecon while everyone is asleep.
AquaTrip cannot prevent leaks occurring, but it may alert you to the existence of a leak once the Flow Time has been
exceeded. It is up to you to program these Flow Times to a duraon which will suit your normal water usage. It is best
to start with shorter mes, as the system will then be able to indicate a leak or inadvertent use as quickly as possible
aer it occurs. You can change the Flow Time sengs at any me.
What to do if the water turns OFF ?
To turn the water back on, press the RESET WATER buon on the Control Panel. The water will turn on within 15 to 30
seconds. If the water does NOT turn back on, or the Control Panel does not respond for some reason, you can always
turn the water on manually by pressing the blue Control Buon on the underside of the Control Box for > THREE
seconds, OR, using the Emergency Manual Override procedure explained in Secon 10. If this does not work, check
the local Council mains water supply in your area has not been turned o.
If your AquaTrip turns o the water, the Control Panel will emit a beep and the display will ash every 5 minutes.
(To ensure peaceful sleep, the Panel will not beep between 10pm and 6am).
You must look for any obvious leaks to idenfy the cause of the ‘Trip’ before turning the water back on. If none are
evident, turn the water on and look for a less evident cause.

2. Installaon Preparaon and Warning Precauons - READ CAREFULLY
This Leak Detecon System must be installed by a licensed plumber according to Local Government
Building, Plumbing and Water Ulity Supply regulaons. Local government approvals may be required.
Before installing the system, determine if any of the following devices are installed on the property:-
1. Irrigaon System 2. Solar Hot Water System 3. Water Soener or Humidier
4. Icemaker 5. Automac Pool Filler 6. Reverse Osmosis Filtraon System
Check for any other appliance that may use water in an automated or sporadic manner. Take into account the water
usage requirements of these appliances when programming the system. Ensure that you program the Flow Time
sengs so that there is no interference to the normal operang requirements of these systems. Alternavely, install
the system downstream of these systems. If you do this, they will not be monitored by the Leak Detecon System.
WARNING Freezing Condions - Do not t the Shuto Valve in an area where it is likely be exposed to freezing
condions. The system will not funcon below freezing. If condions are likely to drop to zero, only
the metal valve version of this product can be installed, and it must be insulated to prevent it freezing.
The PVC valve cannot be installed in zero or sub zero temperatures.
WARNING Pressure Rang - Do a pressure test on the main incoming supply to the property. Check that the
pressure does not exceed the pressure rang of the Shuto Valve version that you are installing. If the
pressure is within 80% of the maximum rated pressure of the valve, then a Pressure Reducon Valve
(PRV) must be ed. This is to allow for surges in pressure in the mains supply which may then exceed
the maximum rated pressure of the Shuto Valve. The valves respecve pressure rangs can be found
under the Technical Specicaons in Secon 17, Pg. 26.
WARNING Pumped Supply - If the water supply to the property is pressurised using a pump, the system may not
be suitable for the applicaon. If the pump has a pressure vessel to maintain a constant pressure in the
pipes, it will work in most circumstances. However if the pump has no pressure vessel the system will
not be able to detect smaller leaks, as the pressure drop from a small leak may be insucient to cause
the pump to come on, and maintain the pressure in the system (See Secon 3 step 5 for Pump Setup).
WARNING Backow Prevenon - If there is backow down the pipe from the house to the Flow Sensor, due to
very long distance piping and/or large diameter piping or undulang terrain or other circumstances
creang reverse ow and pressure, then it may be necessary to install a backow prevenon valve aer
the Shuto Valve. This is because the backow may prevent the Flow Sensor from detecng the
connuous ow caused by a leak. In addion, it may also be necessary to engage the Pump Mode
seng to compensate for the ebb and ow in the pipe (See Secon 3, Pg. 4, step 5 for Pump Setup).
WARNING Hard Water - In hard water areas where calcicaon is a problem with plumbing xtures, this could
inhibit funconality of the system. Therefore the user is advised to increase scheduled servicing and
system check procedures to compensate for this, as required by the severity of the water hardness.
NOTE: If a Water Soener or Humidier is ed, if possible, install the Shuto Valve downstream.
Always install the Shuto Valve and Control Box in a locaon easily accessible for maintenance. There must be a
manual stop cock upstream of its installaon point, so the system can be isolated from the incoming supply.
In installaons using rain water tanks, bore water or water supplied in some rural areas, we would recommend
installing an inline lter (if not already ed) on the incoming main line to minimise debris entering the system.
WARNING Before programming and using the system, read and take account of all the System Use Warnings in
Secon 13, Pg. 23. Make sure you understand the Maintenance and Service Requirements in Secon
15. Be certain that you understand how to override the System in an Emergency, see Secon 10, Pg.11
WARNING Fire Suppression Lines - Do not install the system on any Fire Suppression Supply lines. If a Fire
Suppression system is present, the Shuto Valve must be installed downstream of the supply lines to
that system, so that it has no inuence on the water supply to the Fire Suppression system.

Pg. 4
The Control Panel and Control Box communicate with each other using a radio signal. Before installaon you must
power up both devices in the sequence described below and they will automacally establish the radio link.
STEP 1 - Remove the lid from the Control Box by squeezing the lid lock tabs
and then slide out the circuit board, nong the orientaon of the lid. Get all
the AA baeries ready and only install ONE of them into the baery holder.
STEP 2 - Remove the baery cover from the Control Panel and install the
3xAA baeries, nong their polarity. The message “Add baeries to Control
Box Now” will appear on the Control Panel display. Now insert the remaining
baery into the baery holder on the Control Box circuit board. The Control
Panel will show “Busy searching for Control Box”, and the Control Box LED will
blink GREEN whilst searching. Within about 10 seconds the Control Panel will
beep and display the message “Link to Control Box successful” and the LED will
blink RED once as it links. The two devices are now linked and synchronised.
If for some reason they do not link the rst me and go into a search mode,
remove both sets of baeries, press the buon on the Control Box for 10
seconds and the OK buon on the Control Panel for 10 seconds. This powers
them down properly. Now repeat the process in the same order as in Step 2.
If this fails, refer to Secon 8 on the Radio Communicaons System.
STEP 3 - The display will now say - “Set the Clock - use OK to start”. Press the
OK buon and now set the correct DAY and TIME (if you miss this step, set the
clock later using the OK MENU buon - Pg. 18). You must set the clock before
compleon. If the clock is wrong, system features will not funcon correctly.
STEP 4 - MOST IMPORTANT - Close the Control Box by carefully sliding the
circuit board into the grooves on the inside of the lid. The board will ONLY slide
in all the way when inserted into the CORRECT side of the box. It is
IMPERATIVE that the lid latches click shut and engage properly with the lid, as
any moisture ingress can destroy your device. This is NOT covered under
warranty should it occur!
STEP 5 - Aer installaon, you will need to set up all the Flow Times and Peak
Flow periods and other sengs to suit the users requirements. If you do not
change any of these sengs then the factory default sengs will apply.
SPECIAL NOTE - FOR PRESSURE PUMP WATER SUPPLIES
If you are connecng to a water supply that is supplied by a pressure pump with
NO pressure tank or air tank to maintain the pressure in the line, then you need
to enable PUMP mode.
To do this, remove one baery from the Control Panel, hold down the OK MENU
buon and simultaneously re-insert the baery. Now look at the LCD display.
Two oponal menus will appear consecuvely:-
1. Pump Mode - Use the arrow buons to change to ON then press OK to save
2. Automac Reset - Leave at the default seng of NO and press OK to save
Automac Reset - The Auto Reset funcon only operates when the Exclusion
Period funcon is being ulised. This funcon is designed for public washrooms
or commercial applicaons, and it allows the system to automacally turn the
water back on, if it has tripped. While the Exclusion Period is acve, all water
use is ignored. Outside of the Exclusion Period, if a leak is detected the water
will shut o. However, if Auto Reset is turned ON, when the next Exclusion
Period begins, even if the leak is sll present, the water will automacally be
turned back on again so the facility can be used.

The Shuto Valve may be supplied with the Flow Sensor screwed into place.
The Flow Sensor is connected by a cable to the Control Box. The Shuto
Valve may be PVC or Metal depending on the model version. If ng the
PVC valve version try to use PVC ngs. If using metal ngs with PVC
valves, take extra care not to overghten them.
Install the Shuto Valve on the incoming main COLD water line, AFTER the
Mains shut o valve, water meter and re suppression system (if ed). This
allows the system to monitor as much of the property’s plumbing as possible.
Aer installaon is complete, place the Service Plug in its bag for protecon and aach the bag to the Flow Sensor.
Horizontal Pipe Installaons
The Shuto Valve must preferably be mounted horizontally in line on the incoming pipe. This is because the Flow
Sensor must always be upright in a vercal plane. If the installaon is in a horizontal plane, the parts will generally be
arranged as per Diagram A. The system must be installed according to local government plumbing and building
regulaon requirements, and the installer must take into account the plumbing and appliances already at the
installaon, which may have a bearing on the funconality of the system and its interacon with those appliances.
Vercal Pipe Installaons
If the incoming pipe runs vercally, e.g. coming up through the oor from under
the house slab or in the basement, the Shuto Valve may be mounted vercally
in line on that pipe, BUT, if this is the case, you MUST t the oponal Right Angle
Adapter (Part # RA90) see Diagram B alongside, before you screw the Control
Box into the Shuto Valve. (See Secon 5, Pg. 6 of this manual for vercal pipe
installaons.)
External or Below Ground Installaons
If it is necessary to install the Shuto Valve outside or underground, install a suitable ground box or valve box to
protect the system from the elements. Do not leave it exposed out in the open. The Flow Sensor is fully waterproof
and can be immersed in water if required. If it is mounted outside in below zero temperatures, make sure the ground
box is fully insulated to prevent it freezing. The system cannot operate below freezing temperatures and may fail.
WARNING If it is likely that the system may be exposed to zero or sub zero temperatures, you must use the
Metal Shuto Valve only, and it must be insulated to prevent it freezing. DO NOT FIT the PVC Valve
version in an installaon where it may be exposed to freezing temperatures, it may fail.
If mounted underground, make sure the underside of the ground box lid has at least 5cm or 2” clearance above the
TOP of the Flow Sensor, when the lid is replaced on the ground box. This is to prevent damage to the Flow Sensor if
the lid is forced down by some impact to it.

NOTE: Whether the Shuto Valve is mounted horizontally or vercally, the Flow Sensor MUST
ALWAYS sit vercally or the system will NOT funcon.

Pg. 6
The Flow Sensor may be supplied already screwed into the Shuto Valve. It is designed to be mounted on a horizontal
pipe. The Flow Sensor must always be in a VERTICAL orientaon. If you need to mount the valve on a pipe running
vercally, you will need to unscrew the Flow Sensor and install oponal part # RA90 right angle adapter, into the valve,
and then screw the Flow Sensor into the RA90. Note the Flow Sensor seals via an O Ring. IT IS NOT A COMPRESSION
FITTING SO DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN IT PAST THE POINT WHERE YOU FEEL IT STOP. TAKE GREAT CARE TO NEVER
OVERTIGHTEN THE FLOW SENSOR WHEN SCREWING IT INTO THE VALVE, YOU COULD DAMAGE OF FRACTURE IT.
The Control Box is connected to the Flow Sensor via a 2 metre waterproof cable. This cable can be
extended by a further 6m or more if required (oponal Accessory # CBL-SOL6). Mount the Control Box
securely, in a locaon where the radio signal can best reach the Control Panel located inside the building,
and can also be easily accessed for servicing - See installaon opons below and on the next page.
While the Control Box is waterproof it must always be mounted with the
lid and buon facing downward to minimise the chance of water ingress.
ABOVE GROUND INSTALLATION OPTIONS (The best opon for maximum radio range)
1. Using the supplied cable e, the Control Box can be aached to the pipe work aer the Valve
OR
2. It can be mounted on a nearby fence post with the provided screws or Cable Tie. Take care to protect
or bury the cable running from the Flow Sensor to the Control Box to avoid it being damaged
OR
3. It can be ed to a pole or garden stake pressed into the ground, using the screws or cable e
provided. If using this method, ensure it is not in a locaon where it can be damaged.
BELOW GROUND INSTALLATION OPTIONS (Ensure the Control Box is close to the surface)
1. If the Shuto Valve is mounted underground in a valve box, always try to mount the Control Box to the
wall of the valve box or underside of the lid, using the short screws or cable es provided OR
2. By drilling a hole through a supporng web on the underside of the valve box lid, and cable tying the
box to the underside of the lid.
3. It is preferable to try to get the Control Box out into the open air above ground to maximise the radio
recepon.

Possible Control Box installaon opons
There are many possibilies for the installaon of the Shuto Valve, and the mounng of the Control Box, and this is
very dependent on the layout of the water supply to the property. For maximum eecveness, the Shuto Valve
should be ed as close to the Water Meter or Main Shuto Valve as possible. This way, all of the underground piping
is protected against leaks. The valve can however, be ed anywhere on the incoming water main supply.
Some water mains and their meters are fully underground, and some are raised above ground. Below are some
suggesons as to how the Control Box may be mounted :-

Use the BLUE Control Buon on the underside of the Control Box to conduct the following tests:-
If you have turned on a tap, and no water ows inially, reset the system by pressing the BLUE buon for three
seconds. You may hear a click as the Control Box resets the Shuto Valve, and the water will now begin owing.
STEP 1 - Flow Sensor Test
• Turn on a tap so that the water is owing connuously at a slow trickle of at least 40 to 50ml or 1.25 to 1.5oz
per minute, this is when a drip just becomes a constant trickle.
• Press the buon once, the LED will light GREEN to let you know the baeries are OK, then ash BLUE to indicate
it can see the water owing. The Blue LED will connue to display when water is owing, for up to 240 ashes
(or 4 minutes), then stay o to conserve the baeries. If you need to visually check ow again, press the buon
once more.
• If the Flow Sensor cannot see the ow. Check the Flow Sensor is rmly screwed into the Shuto Valve and test
again. If need be, increase the ow slightly, and retest. If ow now registers, then scale the ow back to around
40 to 50ml or 1.25 to 1.5oz per minute, and recheck the Flow Sensor can see the reduced ow.
This Flow Sensor test conrms the Flow Rate that the Flow Sensor can detect. It should see ow down to around 50ml
or 1.5 oz per minute. Due the eect of hysteresis, a slightly larger ow may be required to start the Flow Sensor, but
once it has begun sensing the ow, it will connue to do so, even if it drops down to around 50ml or 1.5oz per minute.
STEP 2 - Water Shuto Test
• Turn on a tap to give a steady stream of water ow. Now press the blue buon for three seconds. The valve will
shut and the water ow will stop. This may take up to a minute as the pressure in the pipes must dissipate. This
test checks that the Shuto Valve is working correctly. The Control Box LED will ash RED briey, every few
seconds to indicate that the water is o!
STEP 3 - Water Reset Test
• Now that the water has shut o, press the Control Buon for three seconds and the water will come on. You
should hear a click as the Control Box signals the Shuto Valve to open and the water begins owing again.
STEP 4 - Leak Detecon Test
Turn the tap on again, press and hold the buon down.
• As long as the Flow Sensor can see the ow, the BLUE LED will ash. Now turn o the tap to stop the water ow.
The BLUE LED will stop ashing as soon as the Flow Sensor can no longer see any ow. This should be within 30
or so seconds of turning o the tap.
• If the BLUE LED display does not stop ashing, it means that the Flow Sensor is sll sensing water owing on the
property somewhere. Check for taps dripping or le running or leaking toilets etc.
STEP 5 - Flow Sensor Funconality Test
If the Flow Sensor connues to detect water ow, and you are certain that there is no water owing anywhere, you
need to test if the Flow Sensor is working correctly, as follows:-
• Turn on a tap to a ow of about 50ml or 1.5oz per minute, then turn o the MAIN incoming tap to the property
and, as you are cung o the main supply, the BLUE LED should stop almost immediately. This conrms that
the Flow Sensor is no longer seeing any ow and is working correctly.
If the BLUE LED connues ashing even aer the main supply is cut, it means the Flow Sensor may be jammed or
damaged and the Flow Sensor may need replacing, or the Shuto Valve itself may need servicing.

7. The System Check Procedure [Five Steps]

Pg. 9
A. Tesng the Radio Range of the Control Panel
A Radio Range Test MUST be carried out to ensure the radio signal will reach the desired Control Panel mounng
locaon, and this is completed as follows:-
1. Trip the Shuto Valve by holding down the blue Control Buon on the Control Box for three seconds unl the
water goes OFF.
2. Now press OK MENU on the Control Panel and scroll through to the Radio Range Test menu, then press OK.
3. The Control Panel will now detect the signal from the Control Box every 15 seconds and indicate the signal
strength as a percentage. Start by standing next to the Shuto Valve for the rst reading (should come up as
100%), then walk towards the desired Control Panel mounng posion, re-tesng as you go, every 10 metres.
4. Aer each reading, press OK again to iniate the next test. (TIP: if you have a wristwatch with a second hand,
take a note of when you get a response. It will ALWAYS respond at exactly the same me every 15 seconds).
Areading of GREATER than 50% is desirable at the chosen Control Panel mounng locaon.
5. Try to locate the Control Panel in a locaon where it is not too far from the Control Box. Note that metal or
concrete walls and mesh metal security/insect screens can act as barriers, prevenng the radio signals from the
two units reaching each other.
6. Ensure that wherever the Control Panel is to be located, that the Control Panel has a constant signal strength in
excess of 50% linking it to the Control Box. Always hang the Control Panel upright on a nail or screw in a locaon
where it can receive the maximum strength signal strength from the Control Box.
NOTE: If the range is insucient, because of excessive distance, or geophysical shielding, you can also relocate
the Control Box. It is on a 2m cable allowing it to be located up and away from the Shuto Valve. The
higher it is located the beer the radio recepon. If necessary, oponal 6m cable extensions are
available to relocate the Control Box to a posion where the signal strength is best.
B. Radio Signal Delay
In order to preserve Baery Life, normal update commands are passed between the Control Panel and the Control Box
at 10 minute intervals.
If a water shuto event has occurred the Control Box will respond to a reset signal from the Control Panel within 15 to
30 seconds. This depends on the me between the leak occurring and the me the Control Panel ‘Reset Water’ buon
is pressed. ( < 40 Minutes, responds in < 15 Secs, aer 40 minutes responds in < 30 Secs. )
C. Radio Signal Strength contribung factors
1. Rain or Water - If there is heavy rain or if the Control Box becomes immersed in water, this can cause a
temporary block to the radio signal travelling between the Control Panel and Control Box. This will show as LINK
SCAN or LINK BAD on the Control Panel display. Once the weather clears or the Control Box is no longer
submerged, the two units will re-establish the connecon.
2. Below Ground Installaons - If the Control Box is mounted below ground level, this can reduce the ability of the
Radio Signal to get out into the environment to be received by the Control Panel. If this is the cause of the
Control Panel having diculty maintaining a signal strength in excess of 50%, then a soluon can be to relocate
the Control Box to be above ground and mount it on a nearby fence or garden stake or pole in the ground.
3. Distance and Barriers - if the Control Box and Control Panel are installed too far apart or with barriers between
them which can block the radio signal, this will have an impact on radio signal strength and connecvity. By
conducng the procedures outlined in Secon 8 Part A and Part C.2 above, it is possible to minimise their
impact.
For more details on how the Radio Communicaons system works, and for further advice on the operaon and trouble
shoong of the Radio Link system, please refer to Secon 9, Pg. 10.
8. Control Panel Radio Range Tesng - Setup and Tips

Pg. 10
The system uses a coded Radio Signal to communicate and create a wireless link between the Control Panel and the
Control Box. Once linked together, they only communicate every ten minutes, except if the water has been turned o,
then they communicate every 15 or 30 seconds. So if you issue a command by changing a seng, that command will
only take eect at the next ten minute update between the two devices.
During installaon, if you have trouble linking the Control Panel to the Control Box as described in Secon 4 Step 1. or,
if the Control Panel loses the link with the Control Box aer installaon at some point, you can link the two devices by
using one of the following two methods:-
A. Manual Radio Link Procedure
The Control Box must be tripped to put it into Search mode, so it will be looking for the Control Panel signal. Trip the
valve by holding down the blue buon on the Control Box for three seconds (unl the LED lights RED). Once you hear
the valve shut, press the RESET WATER buon on the Control Panel. The Panel may inially not respond, but will enter
search mode. Within about two minutes, it will have located the Control Box and the radio link will be established.
B. Automac Radio Link Procedure Opon
If the Control Panel and Control are in range of each other, they will automacally link up aer about 90 minutes.
If the Control Panel loses the radio link with the Control Box
The Control Panel will begin to scan and search for the Control Box signal. This will show up as Link Searching on the
display. Aer a few hours of trying the display will change to Link BAD with a number to denote the number of mes
the Panel has tried to relink with the Valve. At 100 aempts it will stop counng, but connue searching for the
Control Box. This will connue unl the Control Box is found. This searching will run down the baery more quickly.
So if you noce the display says - Link BAD - follow one of the procedures below.
To x this, you must rst try to re-establish the radio link. There are three oponal ways to do this:-
• You can either follow Step 2 in Secon 3, Pg.4 OR
• Complete the Manual Link Procedure listed earlier in this secon, OR
• Place the Control Panel near to the Control Box, and let the Automac Radio Link Procedure take place.
Once you have re-established the Radio Link, perform a Radio Range Test to nd the strongest signal locaon. Refer to
Secon 8, page 9 or Secon 11c, Pg. 20 in this manual for instrucons on how to conduct a Radio Range Test. A signal
strength above 50% is best for reliable operaon.
If necessary, it is possible to add one or more 6m extensions to extend the cable connecng the Control Box to the
Flow Sensor. This allows you to relocate the Control Box to a posion where it can beer receive and send signals to
and from the Control Panel.
NOTE: If you cannot re-establish the radio link, there may be a problem with the radio in either the Control Panel
or Control Box, so both will need to be serviced or replaced.
Replacing the baeries
At some point, the system will require its baeries to be replaced. You will be prompted to do this by the Control
Panel, however we recommend you do it every 12 months as a safety precauon in any event. Aer the new baeries
are installed, the Control Panel and Control Box will link up automacally again within 90 minutes. Do not forget to set
the clock again aer you have replaced the Control Panel baeries.
WARNING: Once again, it is absolutely imperave that you clip the lid shut PROPERLY on your Control Box.
Failure to do this will likely cause water damage. Make SURE you slide the PCB into the
grooves on the inside of the box, as if forced, it is possible to close the lid with the PCB not
properly in the grooves. This will allow water in!!!
9. The Radio Communicaons System - Operaon and Troubleshoong

Pg. 11
The system has an Emergency Manual Override facility, ensuring that you can always disengage the system in an
Emergency, and that you will have unrestricted access to water. The Emergency Manual Override is used when you
need to use water nonstop for an extended period, e.g. FIRE FIGHTING, or in the event of a system malfuncon. You
can also use the Emergency Override if the baeries go at and you do not have replacements handy.
1. To place the system in Emergency Manual Override, rotate the Flow
Sensor HALF a turn an-clockwise.
2. To cancel Emergency Manual Override, gently rotate the Flow
Sensor clockwise unl it just sens, but DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN IT!
IT IS NOT A COMPRESSION FITTING, IT SEALS USING AN O-RING. IF
OVER TIGHTENED IT CAN BE DAMAGED OR FRACTURE.
3. If you have re-engaged the Flow Sensor aer using the Manual
Override facility, you MUST ALWAYS conrm that the system is
funconing correctly by running the System Check Procedure as
covered in Secon 7 of this manual.
The Control Panel has seven buons which can be used to control most of the funcons and sengs of the system. In
the unlikely event that your Control Panel should malfuncon, you can sll control the system from the Control Box
itself. See Secon 7, Pg. 8 for System Tesng and the secon above for the Emergency Override funcon.
WARNING When the system is in Emergency Manual Override, it
cannot shut o the water in the event of a leak. DO NOT
leave the system in this mode unnecessarily, as there will
be no leak detecon capability.

The RESET WATER buon is used to turn the water back on aer the system has turned the
water o. Press the buon once to turn the water on. The water will turn on within a 15 to 30
second period. If you press this buon again for more than three seconds, it will cancel your
original command.
If the system shuts o the water it means that it has detected water owing connuously for longer than the Flow
Time programmed in to it, for that parcular me of the day. Aer the water has shut o, the Control Panel will emit a
short beep every ve minutes to let you know the water is o.
If you ever hear a beep from the Control Panel, always press the INFO buon to nd out what message is waing for
you on the display. If the water has gone o, the Control Panel will start to beep within 10 minutes of the water being
o. When you press the INFO buon the following message will display.
When you see this message, press the RESET WATER buon. Refer to the ow chart to
show you the possible messages displays which may occur when you press the RESET
WATER buon
If the Control Panel loses its radio signal connecon with the Control Box, the Control Box will not be able to respond
and will not be able to turn the water back on, and an error message will appear on the Display. The Control Panel will
automacally try to turn the water back on again. If the retry fails, you must turn the water back on manually by
pressing the blue buon on the underside of the Control Box. See illustraon below.
When you press the RESET WATER buon, the following displays will appear.
If the water does not turn on, you can turn the water on manually by holding down the blue Control Buon on the
Control Box for 3 seconds - this will open the Shuto Valve. If that should also fail to turn the water back on, you can
manually override the system by turning the Flow Sensor half a turn an-clockwise, this will open the Shuto Valve and
allow water to ow. See Secon 10, Pg. 11 for how complete the Emergency Manual Override procedure.

repeated failed aempts to nd the Control Box, the display will change to Link BAD.
OR
NOTE: If this occurs, to resolve the issue, refer to Secon 9, Pg. 10 - The Radio Communicaons System.
Aer the Radio Signal Link & general status display, the display will scroll through the following menus:-
This shows what the Flow Time is currently set for, at this exact moment in me. As the
me of day changes and dierent Flow Time sengs come into eect, the current Flow
Time seng for that exact me of day, will display on this menu. If currently Overridden
or Excluded, this status will also be shown here.
This is the longest connuous ow of water this week. The gure clears every Sunday at
midnight, so the me shown will be your longest connuous water ow since last Sunday
at midnight.
This is the last day and me that the System detected connuous ow which exceeded
the programmed Flow Time and caused the system to shut o the water.
This is the number of “Trip” events that the system has recorded since the counter was
last reset. You can reset the counter from the Trip Count menu within the SETUP menu,
which you access using the OK MENU buon.
This screen shows the capacity of the baeries in the Control Panel. The Panel will start

When you press the INFO buon, in addion to the Informaon Messages that are displayed and were explained on
the previous page, any System Warning messages will also be shown. Warnings are always shown rst. Here are some
of the Warning messages that could display, and an explanaon of them:-
INFO Buon - System Warning Message Displays
This message will display if the water has been shut o for any reason. The Control Panel
will also beep every ve minutes, aer the next update has been received from the
Control Box (within ten minutes). Press the RESET WATER buon to turn the water back
on and nd out why it was shut o.
This message advises you that the Control Panel and the Control Box can no longer
communicate with each other. Please refer to Secon 9, Pg. 10 that deals with the Radio
Communicaons system.
If you have set the Exclusion Period (Sleep Mode) to allow use of an irrigaon system or
for some other purpose, this menu will appear to remind you that it is set and show a
summary of the current seng.
This message advises you that the baeries in the Control Panel are LOW and need
replacing. See Secon 12, Pg. 22 on how to replace the baeries.
This message advises you that the baeries in the Control Box which controls the Flow
Sensor and Shuto Valve, are FLAT and need replacing. See Secon 12, Pg. 22 on how to
replace the baeries.
This message is to remind you that the system has been overridden and is now inacve
unl Saturday at 14:45pm (as an example). This is the result of pressing the Override
buon, which will disengage the system for whatever override me period you have set.
There is no leak detecon during this me period. See Secon 11d, Pg. 20 on the
OVERRIDE buon for a more detailed explanaon.
This indicates that the system is in AWAY mode, and it will display the Flow Time you have
chosen for when the system is in Away mode. However, if an Exclusion Period has been
set, the water sll ows normally during the excluded me(s). This will allow irrigaon or
other water consumpon to happen while you are away.
This menu appears when the manual Turn Water OFF funcon has been acvated. This
funcon is accessed from the system menu, by using the OK MENU buon. The display
tells you how long it will be before the water turns o.
This will be followed by a second screen when the water actually turns o, which tells you
that the water was turned o by the user and not a leak or over-use. This could be for
plumbing maintenance or some other reason.

VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE
This message is an alert that the Flow Sensor has not seen any ow for more than 24 hrs and this
may indicate a potenal system problem. One of the following three condions may apply:-
1. The most common reason for this message is you have actually not used any water for
more than 24 hours. In this case, the system is sll funconing normally. However, if this
is not the case, there may be a denite problem with the Flow Sensor and the procedure
described in (3) below must be followed.
2. The system has been manually overridden and is no longer sensing water ow, so will no
longer funcon as a Leak Detector (the MOST important reason for this message).
3. The Flow Sensor or Shuto Valve has developed a problem and needs to be checked.
Please conduct the System Check Procedure and if the system fails those tests, contact
your distributor. You may also engage your plumber to check the system’s funconality
for you.

The OK MENU buon is used to access all the SETUP menus for adjusng the various
programmable features of the system. Use the UP and DOWN arrows to scroll though the
menus available.
NOTE: The menu explanaons are arranged in the order you will nd them if you use the UP arrow to scroll
through the menus. If you use the DOWN arrow they will appear in reverse order.
OK MENU Buon Summary - Menu Display Order (if scrolling using the UP arrow)
From this menu you can scroll up and down the menus to access the various sengs and
funcons. Follow the instrucons on the screen within each menu to access and change
the sengs (prompts appear aer a delay).
The FLOW TIME menu is where you set the length of me water can ow connuously
before the system shuts o the water. See the FLOW TIME sengs menu on the following
pages.
You can choose two dierent me periods of the day when you expect to use water for
the longest me. Generally this would be in the morning (say 6am to 8am) and then
again in the evening, (say 6pm to 10pm). You can set them to whatever suits your water
usage. You set the start hour and the nish hour of each me period.
The EXCLUSION PERIOD menu is where you program the system to ignore water ow for
certain periods of me on certain days, like pung the system to into a sleep mode. See
the EXCLUSION PERIOD sengs menu on the following pages.
The CLOCK is set from this menu. It is important that the clock is set correctly, as the
whole system relies on the clock to co-ordinate all the ming of the other leak detecon
sengs. See the CLOCK seng menu on the following pages.
The TURN WATER OFF menu is where you can use the Control Panel to close the Shuto
valve and turn o the water supply directly. See the TURN WATER OFF menu funcon on
the following pages.
The TRIP COUNT logs how many mes the System detected ow which was long enough
to cause the system to “trip” and shut o the water. See the TRIP COUNT menu funcon
on the following pages.
The NITE WATCH is a selectable feature which puts the System into the Night Watch Flow
me for night me period that you have selected. This oers extra protecon if a leak
occurs overnight. See the NITE WATCH menu seng on the following pages.
The AWAY WATCH is a selectable feature which automacally puts the System into Away
mode, if the system sees no ow for a 24 hour period starng at midnight. See the AWAY
WATCH menu seng on the following pages.
The WATER FLOW check menu allows you to see on the Control Panel if water is actually
owing at that exact moment in me, and allows idencaon of leaks if present. See
the WATER FLOW CHECK menu seng on the following pages on how to use this feature.
This reminds the user of the most important items that will need service and aenon
over the life of the system. See the System Service and Maintenance secon of this
manual for full details of the maintenance requirements of the system.
The WETNESS SENSING menu is where you link any of the oponal Wetness Sensors to
the Control Panel. If these sensors detect wetness in their immediate locaon, they will
signal the Control Box to shuto the water, within one minute. See the WETNESS
SENSING setup menu on the following pages.
The RADIO RANGE TEST menu is where you can test to check that the radio signal link

All seng changes which are set from the Control Panel, will be sent by coded radio signal to the Control Box. In order
to conserve baery power, these commands are only sent every ten minutes, when the two devices exchange
informaon. Aer you change any seng and the command is sent from the Control Panel, the message screen below
will nearly always appear. It will tell you how long it will be before the new sengs take eect.
It is important to set the shortest possible Flow Time that suits your normal water use. This Flow Time can vary
according to the dierent mes of the day or night, when you are likely to be using more or less water. This menu is
used to set up those ow mes. You can change these sengs at any me. In order to make the System more
responsive, there are two sengs available: -
1. Peak Use Flow Time - The Peak Use Flow Time period is when the property is likely to be fully occupied and
connuous water usage is likely to be higher. Select the maximum connuous water Flow Time you would like for
those mes when your water use is at its peak. Default is 25 min’s.
2. Standard Use Flow Time - Within this seng you select the maximum Flow Time for all mes outside the Peak
Flow Time period, i.e., the rest of the day or night. This is generally the me when the house is less likely to be
occupied and connuous water usage will probably be lower. This allows you to (usually) set a shorter Flow Time
for the standard or o peak period. Default is 25 min’s.
3. Away Mode Flow Time - This is the amount of me that you want water to be able to ow while the system is in
Away mode. Set this ow me to be as short as possible, taking into account any appliances you have which may
need water ow while you are away e.g. Ice Makers, Solar Water Heaters etc. Default is 3 min’s.
4. Night Mode Flow Time - This is the length of me that water can ow during the me you think you will be
asleep or overnight, when the system is in Night Mode. Default is 3 min’s.
5. Early Warning Pause Timer - So you can never be caught out by the water turning o when you do not expect it,
e.g. being caught in the shower without water, there is an early warning funcon. Three minutes before you
reach the maximum Flow Time seng, the system will pause the water ow for 1 to 15 seconds (programmable),
then reinstate the ow. If you turn o the water, wait 10 seconds or so, and turn it on again, you can restart the

This funcon allows you to set up TWO dierent periods within the 24 hour cycle, to be designated as PEAK periods
(where you would like a usually LONGER, but can be SHORTER ow me). The Peak Flow me seng will apply during
these hours chosen. If you do NOT wish to use these PEAK FLOW periods, simply make the PEAK use and STANDARD
use ow mes in the WATER FLOW TIMES menu to be equal to one another. NOTE: 24 hour clock format.
This funcon allows you to exclude a certain period of the day and/or days of the week from your system’s detecon
schedule. It puts the system into a Sleep Mode while the Exclusion Period is acve and the system will ignore all water
ow during this me period. It is designed to allow much longer Flow Times for certain designated periods, e.g. for
garden irrigaon or some other automated water usage requirements.
It is also useful for Commercial and Public Washrooms, where the system can be set to ignore all water use during
business hours and only operate aer hours. This seng, in combinaon with the Automac Reset Funcon, allows
the system to potenally reduce water waste and improve maintenance schedules by controlling leaks and plumbing
failures while sll allowing uninterrupted normal use of the facility.
The factory default seng is OFF. If you have previously set an Exclusion Period and then want to turn it o, set the
Start Time and Finish Time both to the same hour. The Exclusion Period funcon will now be turned o.
PEAK FLOW PERIODS - SETTING
The Start hour will ash. Enter the hour you want the Exclusion Period to start. Use the
arrow buons to adjust, then press OK to save the value. It is only possible to set whole
hours, not minutes. NOTE: 24 hour clock format.
The Finish hour will ash next. Enter the hour you want the Exclusion Period to end. Use
the arrow buons to adjust and then press OK to save the value. Again, only whole
hours may be set.
Set the days you would like the Exclusion Period to apply to. The menu which allows the
day sengs to be changed appears next.
Starng from Monday, each day will appear in sequence. Use the arrows to toggle
between Yes or No for each day (its leer will become a — ), then press OK to store the
seng for that day. Pressing OK, moves on to the seng for the next day.
The nal screen displays the saved sengs. In this example, the System will ignore all
water ow between the hours of 8am ll 10am on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and
Sunday. This seng will also appear in the INFO menu display.

The Clock MUST be set to the correct Day and Time for all the other me based funcons of the system to work
correctly. The system does not log the actual date, only the days of the week and the me.
NOTE: The clock is in the 24 hour format.
NITE WATCH is a special feature which, if enabled, gives a faster leak detecon response me for the overnight period.
If you enable the NITE WATCH feature, whatever me you have set it to nish will apply, and whatever Flow Time you
have chosen will apply. The start me is xed at 11 pm (23) and only the End Time can be set, from midnight (00) to
7am. The ashing digit represents whole hours.
If you exceed your Nite Watch Flow Time during the mes it applies, it will shut o the water. When you reset the
water and turn it back on, the system will know you are awake and need extended ow, so will cancel the Nite Watch
mode for that night only. The following night it will re-engage as programmed.
The factory default seng is OFF. Press the OK buon to turn this feature ON or OFF.
This menu allows you to manually turn the water o from the Control Panel. Once you acvate this command, the
water will only turn o, aer the next data update, which will be within the next ten minutes.
Turn the water on again using the RESET WATER buon and then the OK MENU Buon. This double conrmaon
reduces the risk of accidental reseng of the water. Inform all occupants of the property, that if the water has been
turned o using this funcon, there may be plumbing work taking place on the property!

To cancel this command, re-enter the same

AWAY WATCH - SETTING
The AWAY WATCH funcon is designed to help those users who may forget to acvate the AWAY mode when they leave
the property unaended for an extended me. Away Watch does it automacally for you. It works as follows:-
The Away Watch funcon looks to see if there has been any water ow in a 24 hour period. If there was no ow during
that me, it presumes you are not home and will automacally acvate AWAY mode, and only allows the Flow Time you
have set for Away mode. This speeds up the response me of the system to any leak that may occur while you are away.
When you return home, if the AWAY mode has been automacally engaged, press the Home/Away buon to cancel.
The factory default seng is OFF, so you must consciously turn this feature ON if you want to use it.
WARNING: Refer to the Warnings in Secon 2, Pg. 3 and Secon 13, Pg. 23 before seng this funcon.
NOTE: If possible, subject to local condions, set the system to AWAY mode whenever you leave the property
unaended (see HOME AWAY buon Secon). However, it is also a good idea to keep this automated
AWAY funcon enabled, as if you do forget to manually turn AWAY mode on, you know that within 48 hours
at most, this mode will automacally engage.

As oponal extras in some markets, there are Wireless Wetness Sensors available which can be wirelessly linked with
your Control Panel. The Sensors can sit in areas which have the highest risk of leaks or have a pipe burst, such as water
dispensers, washing machines, dishwashers or water heaters. If the Sensors detect a water leak they will send a coded
radio signal to the Control Box and it will shut o the water within one minute of the leak occurring (provided the
water is CURRENTLY owing). Order model # WS-1
You can add as many Sensors to the Control Panel as you like. You must pair each Sensor with the Control Panel in
order for it to be able to communicate with the Control Box and Shuto Valve. The Sensors are powered by long life
baeries, and will begin beeping when their baeries need replacing.
You will not need to use this menu unless you want to add new Sensors to the system. We suggest you ask your
plumber to do this as part of the inial installaon and setup, alternavely you can purchase the Sensors aerwards
and easily add them to your system.

This menu allows the user to test how strong the Radio Signal link is between the Control Panel and the Control Box. It
is used to nd the best locaon for your Control Panel, and to ensure it receives the best strength signal from the
Control Box and vice versa. We recommend mounng your Control Panel near your most used entry/exit point to your
property, for easy system access, as long as the signal strength is sucient at that mounng point.
To use the Range Test feature, the system must be in the tripped condion, i.e. the water has shut o. In this state,
the Control Box is searching for the Control Panel reset signal every 15 seconds. To trip the Shuto Valve, the quickest
way is to hold down the buon on the Control Box for three seconds (unl LED ashes RED), please refer to Step 2 of
the System Check procedure on page 8 if you are uncertain how to do this.
Once the Valve has shut o the water, the test can begin. Start by standing next to the Control Box and the signal
should be 100%. Now, slowly move away, tesng the system say every 10 metres or so. Once you get to your preferred
Control Panel locaon, make sure you have a minimum signal strength of at least 40%. The menus will display as
follows: -

The OVERRIDE mode cancels all the Flow Time sengs for an adjustable period. When you enter
this mode the hour number will ash, use the UP/DOWN arrows to set the amount of me in hours
that you want the system to be overridden for. Then press the OK buon to save the seng. While
the system is in Override mode, water can ow connuously without interrupon. Once the
Override period is over, normal Flow Times will apply. Remember to allow for up to a 10 minute
delay for the command to take eect.
