User Manual
1.1 General Information:
WaterFuse® -Kitchen reduces the risk of water damage in kitchens through the
use of water sensors which turn off the water in the event of a leak, and the
water can also easily be shut off manually. The motorised valves are installed
on the cold and hot water pipes, preferably in the kitchen worktop cabinet
together with the central unit.
The water sensors are placed underneath the dishwasher and the sink cabinet
on the obligatory waterproof surface. The water sensor continuously detects if
there is a water leak and then automatically shuts off the water.
As the water switch is installed, a washing machine can also be placed in
the kitchen without a floor drain, if there is a waterproof surface and a
water sensor is placed so that any water leaking from the equipment can be
detected so that the leak can be automatically stopped. This of course also
applies to other pressurised equipment such as dishwashers, coffee machines,
and refrigerators / freezers with automatic water supply.

mechanical knob on the unit if the power goes
out. Lift the knob 5 mm and turn clockwise to
close the valve. The indicator next to the knob shows open/closed.
Fitted on the cold and hot water pipes.
Water sensors:
The water sensors are placed on the obligatory
waterproof surface. If they indicate presence of water, the
central unit shuts the motorised ball valves and the leak is
stopped. Two water sensors are included but can be more
can be added.
Attach with the included Velcro tape on the waterproof
surface underneath the dishwasher and sink cabinet
which are to be monitored.

• The water stays on permanently or according to the set timer.
The timer for the water being on is set using the DIL switches, see
section 2.3. (Factory setting permanently) Repeatedly pressing ON
reloads the timer with the set time.
Turn the water off
• Press OFF. Red light indicates that the water is off.
Delayed shutoff of the water
• Press DELAYED OFF. Red light indicates that the water will turn off
after a while.
• The time until the water is switched off is set with the DIL switches,
see section 2.3. (Factory setting 2h) Repeatedly pressing DELAYED OFF
reloads the timer with the set time.
1.4 Alarm:
The water sensor indicates water

2 Assembly Instrucons
2.1 General:
The product must be installed by a person who has the professional knowledge required
to perform the installation correctly. Unless the installation is performed by a professional,
the insurance companies may claim that the insurance does not cover any damage that
has occurred and that the offers made by the insurance companies to the property owner
are invalid.
If the ball valves are open for more than 72 hours, the ball valve is exercised automatically,
but the water is not completely turned off.
With a water switch, a washing machine can also be placed in the kitchen without a
floor drain, if there is a waterproof surface and a water sensor is placed so that any
water leaking from the equipment can be detected so that the leak can be automatically
stopped. (According to Safe Water Installation 2016: 1 Section 3.6.3)
This of course also applies to other pressurised equipment such as dishwashers, coffee
machines, and refrigerators / freezers with automatic water supply. If a water-connected
appliance other than a dishwasher or washing machine is connected, the installation must
be supplemented with a non-return valve, according to Safe Water Installation 2016:1
Section 4.3.4.
2.2 Installation:
Motorised Ball Valves: (art. no. 2130051)
The unit is intended for tap water, 0-60 ° C and 0-10 bar.
Fitted on the cold and hot water pipes. They can be mounted
horizontally, vertically, or upside down and independent of
flow direction. The unit has an internal R-thread. Connect to
them to pipes, for example with compression fitting according to the pipe and coupling
manufacturer's instructions. Use the required sealant. The unit must not be mounted in a
concealed place; it must be placed so that it can be changed and so that any leaking water
can be easily detected. The units must be installed in a room with a waterproof floor, in a
distribution cabinet, or in a custom space. If a distribution cabinet is used, the installation
instructions for this must be followed.
After mounting, the installation must be checked for leaks with the tap water installation's
existing water pressure according to the instructions on www.säkervatten.se.
(Up to three parallel motorised ball valves can be installed. Additional valves are ordered
separately)

Central unit: (art. no. 2220092)
The sink cabinet is a suitable place for installation. The box has a "button" on
the underside that is used to open it.
The cable from the ball valves is pulled to the central unit and connected to the 2-pole
terminal V3 with red cable to +. (For more valves, both V1 and V2 are used.)
The water sensor has a socket that is connected directly to the outside. The supplied
DC adapter must be used for power supply or if the property has 12 vdc, it is connected
via a terminal block on the circuit board. All cables can be connected on the back of
the central unit to avoid visible wiring, disconnect the centre plate on the mounting
plate and connect the cables to the terminals. Alternatively, use the premade hole at
the bottom of the casing. See section 2.5.
Water sensors: (art. no. 2230011)
The included water sensor is placed under the appliance which is to be
monitored and is easily connected to the socket directly in the central unit
or via a terminal directly on the circuit board. Use the supplied Velcro tape
to mount the water sensor.
2.3 Settings:
There are a number of settings that can be changed for the product.
Settings are changed with dip switches on the central unit circuit board. Changes to the
dip switches are easily made by using a pen or a small screwdriver to move the switch.
The black marking below shows the plastic switch you are moving. The plastic switch
can be black, white, or blue.
