System Description

The WaterCop
®
System is designed to detect leaks in
your plumbing system at predetermined locations, and
automatically shut off the water supply to help effec-
tively reduce the chances of major water damage
associated with a leak.

System Components

The WaterCop
®
Systems are composed of two basic
parts:
• A motorized ball valve that houses a wireless radio
receiver which automatically turns off your water
supply when any flood sensor detects water or low
temperature sensor detects potential freezing.
• Flood sensors which detect water from a leak or
overflow, house wireless a radio transmitter that
sends a signal to the WaterCop
water supply.

General Safety Information

Warning
Do not apply electrical power to the unit unless the unit
is fully assembled (as it shipped). Failure to do so
could result in personal injury and/or damage to the
unit.
Warning
Disconnect power source before working on or
servicing the unit. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury.
Caution
It is strongly recommended that eye
protection be worn while servicing
the system. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury
.

How the System Works

Flood sensors constantly monitor their selected areas
for accumulating moisture. When a leak is detected, a
sensor will send a radio frequency signal to the
®
WaterCop
unit instructing it to shut off the water sup-
ply to the home. The WaterCop
closed until it is manually reset.
The flood sensors are a battery powered device
®
to turn off your
®
valve will remain
