Smart Water Valve
WARNINGS
The installation of this valve should be performed by a certified
professional in conformity with local and national construction codes. The
valve closes with sufficient force to cut a finger. ALWAYS keep your fingers
away from the ball valve.
Although each unit is pre-tested at the factory, it is strongly recommended
that you test the valve before installation to ensure proper operation in your
home.
AVAILABLE ACCESSORIES
STEP 1 CONNECTING THE VALVE TO YOUR WI-FI NETWORK
-
Download the free Neviweb app on your device from the AppStore or Google Play.
It is also possible to operate the valve without an Internet connection. However, you will not be notified when a water leak is detected. Refer to the “Support” section of our Website at www.sinopetech.com. -
Remove the valve cover by unscrewing the 4 screws with a flat screwdriver.
-
Connect the valve to an electrical outlet, using the supplied adapter, near where it will be installed. By doing so, you will validate the range of the Wi-Fi communication between the valve and your network.
-
Open the app and log into your Neviweb account or create an account.
Follow the steps to add a device. -
Connect your Sinopé smart water leak detectors (Step 2).
STEP 2 CONNECTING THE WATER LEAK DETECTORS TO THE SMART WATER VALVE
-
The mode switch of the valve must be in position “1”. The valve must be plugged into a power outlet.
-
Press the “B” button to open the network connectivity session for the detectors.
The indicator lights will light up in sequence to indicate that the session is active. -
Connect the detector to the network from its installation location. This will ensure it is within range of the RF signal of the valve.
Remove the cover and pull out the battery tab to activate the device. -
Press the detector’s connection button.
Light| Status
---|---
Green light blinks| Device is connecting
Green light lit for 10 s| Successful connection
Red light turns on| Connection has failed*
*Refer to the “Support” section of our Website at www.sinopetech.com.
- Once all the detectors are connected, press the “B” button on the valve to close the connectivity session.
The connection can be verified at any time by pressing the water leak detector’s button. The indicator light will light up in green for 10 seconds if the unit is connected.
STEP 3 INSTALLATION OF THE SMART WATER LEAK DETECTORS
Place detectors (WL4200) where potential water leakage may occur:
- Water heater
- Drain pump
- Bathtub
- Sink
- Etc.
Water leak detectors with sensor (WL4200S) are designed to be used in hard-to- reach places :
- Below dishwasher
- Behind washing machine
- Etc.
-
Connect the sensor to the detector.
-
Attach the detector to a clean surface where there is no risk of immersion. Use the provided screws or the non-permanent adhesive located on the back of the product.
-
Put down the sensor or attach it to the wall. The electrodes must face the ground.
-
Test the detector by putting the electrodes in contact with a small amount of water (1 tsp). The audible alarm will be activated. Wipe the electrodes with a dry cloth to cease the alarm. If the alarm isn’t activated, refer to our Website.
STEP 4 INSTALLATION OF THE SMART WATER VALVE
-
Make sure the valve is in the “OPEN” position before proceeding with the installation. Separate the controller from the ball valve:
A) Remove the pin
B) Tilt the controller back and slide it backwards -
Close the main water supply. Open the hot and cold faucets near the main water supply to reduce the waterpressure.
Remove the valve safety caps. -
Install the smart water valve just downstream of the main water shut-off valve. Depending on your plumbing, additional fittings may be required (not included).
Use Teflon tape or paste to seal the valve with the fitting. -
Before replacing the controller, make sure that both the valve and controller are in the “OPEN” position.
-
Put the controller back in place and insert the pin to secure the controller to the valve.
-
Power the valve using the AC adapter.
To add an emergency power supply in the event of a power failure, insert 4 AAA lithium batteries (not included).
IMPORTANT: Do not insert the batteries before the valve is installed to your main water supply and powered by the supplied adapter.
- Open the main water supply to make sure there are no leaks.
