FloodSafe®Water Detector Shutoff

Sizes:

3⁄ 4" and 1" (20 and 25mm)

Please read all instructions, identify all components and read all warnings prior to beginning the installation of this product.

This product is intended to prevent catastrophic water damage in the event of a water heater leak.

Please Note: During an emergency operating condition, the temperature and pressure relief valve installed on your water heater can

discharge an excessive amount of water. It is designed to protect your home or business from the potential danger of explosion. Upon

detection of this discharged water, the FloodSafe®Water Detector Shutoff shuts off both the supply of water and the source of power

(gas, oil or electricity) to the water heater, preventing a very dangerous situation.

The FloodSafe®Water Detector Shutoff also contains an audible & visual alarm and contacts for monitored alarm systems. It is a reset-

table device and can be tested at any time to ensure proper operation.

Parts Included

Important Note: Thermostat wiring is required and must be supplied by the installer.

Planning Your Installation:

The Water Detector Shutoff should be installed within 6 to 12 inches of the water heater on the cold water inlet supply pipe.

The Control Unit, which houses the circuitry for the operation of the valve, contains interlocking connectors for the Water Detector Pad,

the Power Supply and remote alarm and the Power Cutout Module. The cables provided should not be cut or extended; therefore,

remote installation is not recommended.

The Water Detector Pad supplied with the Water Detector Shutoff should be located as close to the water heater as possible. It is not

necessary to remove the cover of the Control Unit to install the interconnecting cables.

Flooring Surface:

Dirt ﬂooring – A metal or plastic drain pan must be installed under the water heater. Position the Water Detector Pad inside the

drain pan.

Cement ﬂoor – Install the Water Dam provided with the Water Detector Shutoff installation kit around the outside diameter of the

water heater. Position the Water Detector Pad inside the Water Dam.

Attic installation – A metal or plastic drain pan must be installed under the water heater. Position the Water Detector Pad inside

the drain pan.

Please be certain to follow all local codes when installing this device.

Installation Instructions:

a. Turn off all electrical power to the water heater.

b. Turn off the water supply to the water heater.

c. Drain water from the water heater so that the cold water supply piping is free of water.

d. Close the drain valve after draining water.

1. Install the Control Unit on the cold water supply piping with the arrow on the valve pointing in the direction of ﬂow, towards the

water heater. Figure 1

CAUTION: Do not apply heat directly to the valve body!

Pre-solder the adapter ﬁttings that will be used to connect piping to the valve. Use caution when soldering to avoid damage

to the valve cover and internal components.

2. After soldering the piping to the ﬁttings, apply thread sealant to the adapter ﬁttings and thread the adapters with attached piping

into the valve body. Figure 2

3. Install and solder the piping to the supply and to the inlet of the water heater.

4. Install the Water Detector Pad under the water heater with the green circuit board down. The Water Detector Pad must lie ﬂat on

the ﬂoor or in a drain pan. Route the connecting cable to the Control Unit and insert the interlocking connector to the circuit board.

Figure 3

Note: It is not necessary to remove the cover of the Control Unit to install the interconnecting cables. To remove an interlocking cable,

use the supplied Pocket Screwdriver to depress the tab on the cable while pulling cable from its socket. Figure 4

Important: Interconnecting wires must not touch or be in close proximity to any ﬂame or hot surface.

a. If no drain pan exists, install the Water Dam around the perimeter of the water heater. The Water Dam can be cut so that it ﬁts

approximately 1 to 2 inches outside the diameter of the water heater and includes the area where the Temperature and Pressure

safety relief drain tube terminates.

b. Install the plastic connector supplied with the Water Dam into both ends of the Water Dam so that no gap exists between the

ends. Figure 5 and Figure 5a

5. Install the Power Cutout Module, Figure 6, to the water heater as indicated below.

Oil Fired Water Heater Installation (for Spark Ignition Water Heater Installation, see page 3)

nals to the other side of the cable. Connect the cable from the Power Cutout Module Terminal C (common) and NO (normally open) to

the TT terminals on the Oil burner Primary Relay as indicated in Figures 8 and 9. Install the connecting cable Figure 15 to the Power

Cutout Module terminals R1 and R2. Route the connecting cable to the Control Unit and insert the interlocking connector end to the

circuit board.

4. Proceed to Step 5 to continue installation

Spark Ignition Water Heater Installation (for Oil Fired Water Heater Installation, see page 2)

NOTE: Be certain to disconnect the circuit breaker/fuse that supplies power to the water heater. A warning label should be applied to

the panel with a warning against restoring power while work is in process.

1. Mount the Power Cutout Module as close to the electronic control module as possible.

2. Remove the wire from the Electronic Control “SPARK” terminal that goes to the Pilot Electrode Assembly from Electronic Control as

shown in Figure 11.

3. Using two-conductor thermostat cable, install the spade terminals to one side of the cable and then fasten terminals to the other

side of the cable. Connect the cable from the Power Cutout Module Figure 14 Terminal C (common) to the SPARK terminal of the

Electronic Control and NO (normally open) to the Pilot Electrode Assembly as indicated in Diagram 2, Figures 12 and 13. Note: We

have made every effort to provide all of the hardware required for a complete installation. However, the terminal connections used to

connect the Pilot Electrode Assembly to the Electronic Control vary by manufacturer, although we have included several connectors

used by leading manufacturers with your WDS, your speciﬁc mating connectors may not be included. If the required connector is

not included, it may be purchased locally at any electronic supply store. Install the Connecting Cable Figure 15 to the Power Cutout

Module terminals and R1 and R2, route the Connecting Cable to the Control Unit and insert the interlocking connector end to the

circuit board.
