3.4. Function
SYR Safe-T Connect is an effective leakage protection system that complies
with DVGW VP 638. It is adaptable to all SYR anges from DN 20 to DN 32.
Thanks to continuous monitoring, a leak is recognised early and water damage
is limited by automatically shutting off the water supply.
The Safe-T Connect with integrated LAN connection has electronic water me-
tering (by means of a turbine), an electrically actuated shut-off, a pressure sen-
sor to monitor the smallest leakage quantities and a multifunctional display.
When installed, it has a permanent encoded link to a server, which polls it to ob-
tain data from the drinking water installation such as: volumetric ow, total ow
per unit time, duration of the volumetric ow, pressure drop and temperature.
The maximum permissible parameters can be congured or changed directly
on the Safe-T Connect or via software on a smartphone or PC. Even if there is a
loss of Internet connectivity, the parameters will continue to be monitored. How-
ever, there will be no communication with the server during this time.
Energy is supplied via the mains adapter. Batteries to provide a short-term back-
up in the event of a power cut are supplied.

Error log
Some important terms in the menu are explained in the following table with
examples.
Function Explanation
Presence leakage Maximum possible water ow after opening a drawing point without
time limitation
Example:
The drawing with the highest ow is the bathtub. The capacity of the
bathtub is about 120 litres. Set the presence leakage value to 200 li-
tres
Absence leakage More stringent monitoring of the maximum possible water ow when
the user is away for a longer period (holidays, etc.).
Example:
If the user is absent for a longer period, the absence leakage value
setting should be relatively low. For an occasional drawing, e.g. wa-
tering the house plants, a value of 10 litres is sufcient.
Leakage ow
If a water ow > 3,500 l/h is detected, the system assumes that there
is a leak.
Example:
After a factory time setting of 1 minute, the appliance shuts off.
This fault usually arises from a pipe breakage or similar problem.
Leakage time If a drawing is detected that lasts longer than the time setting at a de-
ned volume, the appliance shuts off.
Example:
After each volume setting, a time setting can be individually pro-
grammed. If this is then exceeded when a drawing is detected al-
though the volume is not reached, the appliance shuts off.
Presence and absence
function
Dened via the monitoring stringency of the Safe-T.
The desired function can be selected directly from the main menu
with the UP and DOWN buttons.
The limit values for “present” and “absent” must already be dened.

►With the and buttons, you can change the value (from 100 l to 1500 l
in steps of 50 l).
►Conrm the setting with the button.
6.1.3. Emergency open function
The emergency open function enables the valve to be opened in the event that
the SYR Safe-T Connect shuts off at the same time as a power cut (no batteries
inserted or batteries at).
The access to the emergency open function is underneath the control unit.
