3.1.2 Power Connections A competent person must power the AquaGuard Dual via an appropriate mains supply at a nominal 230V 50-60Hz, from a spur with a minimum capacity of 8 Amps. This supports switching power to external loads through the 8 Amp Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) relay.
AquaGuard Dual Instruction Manual 3.2 Valve/Flow Meter Assembly The AquaGuard Dual can be used with separate Valve and Flow Meters or a combined Valve/Flow Meter. The selected Valve/Flow meter assembly should be fitted into the cold-water mains supply pipe immediately after the stop cock in a secure, indoor location.
Multiple sensors and sensor types may be connected to the AquaGuard Dual. Sensor cables (SCY), for example, monitor for water along their full length and can be run in lengths between 1 and 100 metres; Sensor probes (ESD) monitor for water in their exact location only and can be connected in circuits of between 1 and 20 probes.

In order to limit the effect of potential electromagnetic interference on system performance from high indicytrance components, we strongly recommend that valves, whether purchased from Aqualeak or not, are installed with a snubber and be locally isolated. Snubbers can be purchased seperately from Aqualeak if required.
When on the home screen (Section 5), press and hold the ‘Set’ button for four seconds. This will then prompt you to enter the four-digit passcode supplied to Engineers by Aqualeak. Enter each digit of the passcode by using ‘+’ and ‘-’ and press ‘Set’ to move from one digit to the next. Once all four digits are correctly entered, press ‘Set’...
4.4 Maximum Time of Flow Rate This is the maximum amount of time the AquaGuard Dual will allow a constant flow of water (at any flow rate below the maximum) to pass through the meter. Once this is reached and/or exceeded, the valve will close.
2. Press ‘Set’ to save the value and move to the next menu. 4.9 K Factor The K Factor is the ratio of pulses to l/m and is used by the AquaGuard Dual to convert the pulses received into the correct flow rate.
Table 3: K Factor Values 4.10 Valve Voltage The latching valves that can operate with the AquaGuard Dual can be either 6V or 12V. Use this menu to ensure that the correct valve voltage is selected. Figure 23: Valve Voltage Setting Screen The latching Valve Voltage for available valves is given in Table 3.
Ensure you have read the Safety Information in Section 1 before operating this product. When the AquaGuard Dual has been connected to the associated components and powered on, after a few seconds it will display the home screen, showing default settings, and the power LED will be solid green.
The AquaGuard Dual monitors the continuity of the sensing circuit. If a break in the circuit is detected the AquaGuard Dual will go into Fault Mode. An audible alarm will sound and the fault LED will flash amber. Once the fault is resolved the panel will automatically reset.
Alarm Mode. An audible alarm will sound and the alarm LED will flash red. When the AquaGuard Dual is in Alarm Mode, press ‘Set’ to mute the alarm. The alarm LED will now be solid blue. Once the leak has been investigated and resolved, press ‘Set’ again to reset the unit. If the cause of the leak has been removed, the system will return to standard Monitoring Mode.
