Interacting with the Magnet Switch
The magnet will not “magnetize” to the controller or
the sensor. You have to hold it in place.
The red “ALARM” Led will flash back at you when the
magnet switch is activated on the controller. When-
ever using the magnet you want to see the ALARM
LED illuminated when the magnet is applied to the
valve controller.
The remote sensor will let you know it has been
engaged with three green lights upon removal of the
magnet. There will only be 3 flashes.
If you place the magnet on the valve controller and
can not get the “ALARM” LED to illuminate, move the
magnetaround that area until you get the red ALARM
LED to illuminate indicating you are engaging the
magnet switch. In some instances, the polarity is
slightly off, but is not broken.
Make sure your valve controller is showing a green
sensor LED.
Bring water to new desired water level, making sure
it is still on the sensor.
Use the magnet to reset the sensor in the pool by
holding the magnet on the sensor for 5 seconds and
removing it
Make sure you got three green flashes on the sensor
when you removed the magnet
Now observe the valve controller green sensor LED
flash for about a minute as it re calibrates your new
set level.
Make sure you end with a solid green sensor LED.
Alarm, Action and Sensor all flashing in a sequence
This represents the Valve controller is in pairing mode,
and looking for a sensor to pair with. This is the most
default mode of the valve controller and it will continue to
cycle until A sensor is engaged and starts sending
signals out. To get into this mode, you can hold the
magnet on the valve controller for 15 seconds or longer
and remove it, this will put it into pairing mode.
Action LED flashing
This represents the LevelSmart is going through the
pairing process. This will happen immediately after you
engage the sensor. This pairing process lasts 2.5
minutes. The first 30 flashes are 1 second apart, and the
next 2 minutes of flashes are 4 seconds apart. Once
successful pairing is completed, the valve controller will
show a solid green “SENSOR” LED.
Sensor LED
This represents the LevelSmart is going through the pairing
process. This will happen immediately after you engage the
sensor.
Sensor and Action LED
This represents the LevelSmart is in working order and
paired up, and the valve is open putting water into your
pool or spa. Whenever you have the ACTION LED on
with the green sensor LED, this means the valve is OPEN
and putting water into your pool.
Sensor and Alarm LED
This represents the sensor is paired and paired success-
fully, and the magnet is on the valve controller and
engaging the magnet switch. You will see this whenever
you are using the magnet. If you do not see this, move the
magnet around the magnets sweet spot until you get the
red ALARM LED indicating it sees the magnet. This is
used during a reset, or a valve check
Each illuminated LED can represent different things, so it is
important to understand what each LED represents.
Sometimes you will have two LEDs illuminated at the same
time. Below is the key to identify each LED on the valve-
controller and what it means.
The magnet is the tool we use to interact with the
LevelSmart. In the event you want to pair, reset or
change a desired set level, you will need the magnet to
do so.

After a successful pairing, you want to make sure the
valve is connected to the valve controller successfully,
completing the circuit to power the valve on and off. To
check the valve and actuate it for 5 seconds follow the
steps below.
*Do not hold magnet on valve controller for more than 15
seconds as it will reset entire unit, and un pair your
LevelSmart*
Once paired and you have a solid green SENSOR LED
on your valve controller, make sure you used wire nuts
to attach the valve to the valve controller. It does not
matter which black or red wire is tied to the valve
controller wires.
Using the magnet on the valve controller hold the
magnet on valve controller until you seethe red ALARM
LED illuminate. Hold it there for 5 seconds and remove
the magnet
Once removed, the ACTION LED will now illuminate for
5 seconds. When this happens, it also means the valve
is open. It will only open for 5 seconds then shut off.
Make sure valve opens and closes during the valve test.
On the hunter valve, you will hear a soft click and you
will be able to hear or feel water going through the
valve indicating it is working. On the commercial kit,
you will hear the valve open and close. If it does not
open during this test, check your connections and try
again.

The pairing process is a 2.5 minute process to make sure
you have good communication between your sensor in
the pool and the valve controller, as well as calibrate and
set the level you want the LevelSmart to maintain.
Before starting make sure the Antennas are all connected
along with the antenna tip and off the ground.
The sensor is in the pool or on coping above installation
spot.
Make sure valve controller is in pairing mode flashing all 3
LED in a sequence. To put into pairing mode place magnet
on controller or 16 seconds or longer and remove magnet.
Once removed, all 3 LEDs will be scrolling bottom to top.
Once Valve controller is in pairing mode take the magnet
to the sensor and engage the sensor by holding it on the
sensor for 5 seconds and remove.
You will see 3 green flashes from the top of the sensor
face immediately after you remove the magnet from the
sensor. You can now leave the sensor near the spot it will
be adhered and go to controller to observe pairing process
on Valve controller.
The Valve controller will start to flash the ACTION LED
once per second for 30 seconds. Immediately after the first
30 flashes it will flash every 4 seconds while it calibrates
and sets the water level.
For 2 minutes ACTION LED will flash every 4 seconds until
you see a solid green Sensor LED.
At the end of the 2.5 minutes of the ACTION LED flashing,
you will have one of three results.
A solid green sensor LED indicating a successful
pairing.
A completely Solid ACTION LED indicating it is not
commun cating effectively and we need to place
the antenna in a new spot, or place the sensor in a
different location and try again the pairing process
again.
The Valve controller automatically went right back
into pairing mode indicating a failed pairing and
you need to move antenna or sensor and try
process over. If pairing was unsuccessful you need
to place valve controller back into pairing mode.
To get back into pairing mode it will automatically
go back to it, or you will need to un plug for 10
seconds and plug back in

Valve Adjustment
Follow us on
The valve can be adjusted to your application refer to guide
below:
The valve MUST be in the OFF position for the Levelsmart to
control it. This means it should always be in the OFF position
unless you want to manually fill your pool
The Flow control knob is important if you are filling a smaller
body of water.Turn this down halfway or more when using on
a spa. For pools, leave it all the way open.
To manually put water in your pool or spa, turn the solenoid
knob counter clockwise ¼ turn. * Make sure you shut it back
into the OFF position after doing so.
If the valve is left in ON position it will over fill your pool.
Always make sure it lives in the OFF position.
The valve can be installed in any orientation successfully
without harming performance..
