Waterguard Solo Installation Guide

IMPORTANT! CURRENT IEE REGULATIONS: THE SERIES 7 SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED

ELECTRICIAN, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS LAID DOWN BY THE HVCA AND SOUND

ENGINEERING PRACTICE. A COMPETENT PLUMBER MUST CARRY OUT THE ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

OF ANY WATER METERS AND VALVES. ANY DAMAGES INCURRED DUE TO IMPROPER INSTALLATION ARE

NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS GUIDE CAREFULLY AND IN FULL BEFORE INSTALLING.

KEEP CLEAN: DO NOT LET DEBRIS ENTER THE WATER METER(S) OR VALVE(S).

STORAGE: KEEP IN A DRY PLACE PRIOR TO INSTALLATION TO AVOID POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO INTERNAL

COMPONENTS.

ATTENTION: IT IS IMPORTANT TO STRICTLY FOLLOW THESE

INSTRUCTIONS IN FULL. THE 3V LITHIUM BATTERY MUST ONLY BE

CONNECTED AFTER MAINS POWER. FAILURE TO DO THIS WILL RESULT IN

SYSTEM FAILURE.

NEW BUILD INSTALLATION: DO NOT INSTALL VALVE ASSEMBLY PRIOR TO

FLUSHING THE SYSTEM AS THIS WILL CAUSE DEBRIS TO BECOME LODGED

IN THE FLOW SENOR AND WILL REQUIRE REPLACEMENT.

WHAT YOU WIIL NEED

ITEMS:

•2 Core Flex - PVC 2 Core Flat Flexible Cable (2192Y) min 0.75mm2 if connecting to intruder

alarm or BMS

•3 core mains cable

•1 x single pattress boxes (standard kit only)

No responsibility can be accepted by the manufacturer or distributors of this equipment for any

misinterpretation of an instruction or guidance note or for the compliance of the system.

This system protects properties by monitoring water usage from the incoming water mains using

a flow sensor that allows continuous water flow for a limited time before the controller suspects a

leak and automatically shuts off the water with a solenoid valve.

The Waterguard Solo has one level of guard (maximum time of continuous flow) which is usually

set by the installer, landlord or concierge with the controls often located in riser cupboards or

basements.

Waterguard Solo Installation Guide

Ensure to fit the Solo indoors in a dry area with easy access. This controller is not suitable for

external installation. It is recommended mains power is provided from an adjacent 3 amp un-

switched fused spur. Do not connect mains power until all electrical connections are complete. Do

not connect backup battery before mains power.

A competent plumber must carry out the assembly and installation of the Waterguard residential

valve assembly. Install in a suitable location close to where the water supply enters the property.

Direction of flow is essential for correct operation. Ensure to shut off the water supply and drain

before cutting the pipe, approximately 9-11”. After plumbing the valve assembly turn on the water

supply and check for leaks. Re-lag the pipework where required. Do not over tighten or overuse

PTFE tape.

1. Wire the latching solenoid

valve and flow sensor to the

Solo controller:

•Red to V

•Black and Brown to C

•Blue to F

Valve and flow sensor cable

can be extended using 2 core

1.0mm screened cable.

2. Where applicable, use 2 core

flex cable to connect the BMS

to the ALARM OUT terminal.

3. Connect power, mains supply

cable to fused spur.

4. Connect 3V battery. DO NOT CONNECT THIS BEFORE POWER.

Waterguard Solo Installation Guide

Power and unit operation are indicated by a solid red light on the controls. On initial power up the

LED will flash once per second for approximately 2 minutes. Some software versions will go into

an alarm state during this time, the valve will close, and the controls will flash red intermittently, to

open the valve press the controls push once.

Check the LED on the Solo switches on and is a solid red light when mains power is applied. Run

the water in the property (the Solo will perform 2 brief flashes every 2 seconds indicating that

water is flowing).

Check flow sensor for debris if this occurs without water running.

Whilst the water is running press the button on the controls and release, after 10 seconds the

controller will close the valve and water will stop running. The controller will flicker on and off

every second indicating that the valve is closed, press the button again to open the valve and

reinstate the water. If no water runs on test check valve polarities, if extending valve assembly

cable ensure wiring is in correct terminal.

All Waterguard Solo controls are pre-set to allow a maximum of 20 minutes continuous water flow

unless an alternative time is requested at time of purchase. To change this default setting, follow

the instructions below:

Press and hold the Solo button for approximately 25 seconds, the Solo is now in set up mode.

Ensure you do not release the button after the initial 25 seconds and the Solo will flash as below in

5 second intervals.

•1 flash = 10 minutes

•2 flashes = 20 minutes

•3 flashes = 30 minutes

Release the Solo button once the LED indicator has shown the required number of flashes for the

time limited required. Set up complete.

To check the correct settings have been entered press and hold the button for 6 seconds and

release, the LED will flash to indicate the current time limit:

•1 flash = 10 minutes

•2 flashes = 20 minutes

•3 flashes = 30 minutes

A generic commissioning and testing checklist is available upon request.
