WATERSWITCH3 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
QUICK USER GUIDE
1. Turning water ON or OFF using the WaterSwitch Valve Control
To turn the water 'ON', press the 'WATER ON' button on the WaterSwitch Valve Control you will hear a beep and the valve
will open.
To turn the water 'OFF', press the 'WATER OFF' button you will hear 2 beeps, and the valve will close.
2. Turning water ON or OFF using a wireless On/Off switch
To turn the water ON
Press the 'ON' switch. The blue LED indicator on the switch will flash, the Water Valve Control will beep once to confirm a
wireless signal has been received, and the wireless switch will flash green and beep once to confirm that the command has
been acknowledged. The valve will open.
Turning the water OFF
Press the 'OFF' switch. The blue LED indicator on the switch will flash, the Water Valve Control will beep twice to confirm a
wireless signal has been received, and the wireless switch will flash red and beep twice to confirm that the command has
been acknowledged. The valve will close.
3. Resetting the system after a leak alarm or Continuous Flow limits are exceeded
The Water Valve Control will shut the valve on the incoming water main or pipe if a leak detection tape is in contact with
water, or Continuous Flow set times are exceeded.
Press the 'WATER OFF' button on the Water Valve Control to mute the alarm – the valve remains closed. If the alarm
continues, and you have a detection tape directly connected to the Water Valve Control, disconnect the tape then press the
'WATER OFF' button to mute the alarm.
Identify where in the property the leak has occurred.
If you have wireless leak detector transmitters installed the one that has instigated the alarm will be beeping. If none of the
Transmitters are beeping but you have a leak detection tape or tab directly connected to the Water Valve Control then this
is where the leak is.
Repair the leak and dry the leak detection tape. Tapes should be unplugged and dried either naturally, or with a hairdryer
on a medium setting held 1M away from the tape, or on a warm (not hot) radiator.
Reposition and reconnect the tape once dry.
Press 'WATER ON' on the Water Valve Control to open the valve.
4. Resetting the system after a No Flow limit is exceeded
If the valve has closed because the No Flow limit is exceeded press the 'WATER ON' button on the Water Valve Control or
wireless On/Off switch to open the valve and reinstate the water.
5. Isolating a leak and turning the water on
Leaksafe recommend you repair all leaks before the mains water is turned back on. See important notes in Section 3.3
Where a detected leak is from an appliance e.g., a washing machine, and the leak can be contained by not using that
appliance, it is possible to isolate that zone to allow the Leaksafe system to be reset and the water turned back on.
To isolate a zone:
1. Unplug the leak detection tape protecting that zone from the Wireless Transmitter or Water Valve Control.
2. Press 'WATER OFF' on the Water Valve Control.
3. Press 'WATER ON' on the Water Valve Control to open the valve and restore water to the property.
IMPORTANT:
When the leak is repaired, REMEMBER TO DRY AND RECONNECT THE LEAK DETECTION TABS OR TAPES IN THAT AREA.
