Home Maintenance
There is no power to the remote display…………………….
If there is a loss of power to the valve controller, it will continue to work normally on battery
power for several months. Power to the remote display will be cut off to conserve the battery
power. Connections to the intruder alarm and/or building management system will continue
as normal. See page 2 for instructions on how to operate the system using the valve driver.
As soon as mains power is restored the system will operate fully as normal and will have
remembered previous guard levels.
The valve doesn’t open or close…………………….
If all controls are functioning as normal but the valve is failing to close, please see Routine
Maintenance below as the valve assembly may be blocked up.
How to manually bypass the valve to allow water flow…………………….
WARNING The manual bypass must only be used
in an emergency to restore the water supply when
the controller is damaged or there has been a long
term loss of mains power.
Rotate the whole coil head as shown. THIS WILL
DEACTIVATE WATER LEAK PROTECTION AND
MAY INVALIDATE YOUR HOME INSURANCE.
Please contact the technical support team if any further assistance is required.
General Maintenance
Automatic Testing –The valve driver is programmed to automatically close and open the
valve every 24 hours whilst in high guard. This tests both the valve assembly and controls.
Routine Maintenance –This system requires minimal maintenance and will only require
the following:
•In hard water areas it is recommended that the valve assembly is dismantled and
cleaned with limescale remover every 12 months as build up can cause the unit to
fail
•After continued power loss the valve driver back up battery may need replacing. It
is recommended that a suitably qualified engineer changes the battery (3 volt
lithium, size code CR123A) after firstly turning off mains power to the unit
