AWSAM System Main Features:
- Wirelessly monitor buildings for water, temperature, humidity and intrusion while controlling water shut off valves and detect possible conditions that may cause damage.
- Wirelessly control and manage the environmental, security and water sensors as well as the control valves that are paired with the AWSAM-CP via any mobile device or computer Online.
- Setup, manage and notify system users via text, email or phone alerts of alarms and system operation.
- Add and manage devices and sensors with the AWSAM System
- Perform range tests for device and control panel placement.
- Change system settings such as create unique usernames for devices and control panels, set environmental temperature alarm bands, set sensors linking to specific valves.
- Monitor system operations and perform automated maintenance on the valve controller.
- In the event of a power loss to the system, the AWSAM-CP will operate for a approximately 24 hours on backup battery based on usage. The VC100 Valve Controller will also operate on AC or internal batteries if the batteries have a charge.
AWSAM Control Panel
Back of Control Panel
Right Side of Control Panel
Cellular Connection
The AWSAM-CP will attempt to connect to the available cell network once
powered on by battery or AC power or both. Once connected, the AWSAM-CP signal
bars will light green based on the cell signal received. The smallest signal
bar will light with a signal of -111 to -119 dBm or greater. As the cell
signal improves additional bars will light green. Wait until you have at least
one cell signal light green before operating the control panel. More than one
is better.
Control Panel Placement
The control Panel may be placed in any location that provides AC power a Cell
Signal connection and a range test has been completed to the farthest sensor
from the control
panel. If you are having issues connecting to all three, please troubleshoot
on the AWSAMCloud.com website on the “Support” tab
click “Troubleshooting”.
Panel Mounting Positions
Secure the Mounting Bracket to the wall in a vertical or horizontal position
first. Then hang the Panel on the bracket.
Range Test Mode
Press and release the button on the side of the panel to enter Range Test
mode. Range Test Mode can also be switched ON or OFF in the AWSAMCloud
specific Panel settings page. The Mode can be verified by the blinking “Mode
Light” on the front of the Panel. In Range test the light will blink briefly.
Using either a TWS, or HTWS, or VC100, with the sensor/device battery
installed, press the pairing button on the device. 
In Range Test Mode the sensor will beep and respond with an acknowledgment of
multiple beeps. This means the sensor is usually responding to the Panel at
that location at
that moment. If there is a delay after the first beep to get the multiple
beeps, the sensor is at the edge of the range and either the sensor or the
panel should be moved to
accommodate a better wireless connection. If after pushing the button on the
sensor and there is no secondary beeps either the sensor is out of range of
the panel or the Panel is out of Range Test Mode. You cannot Range Test with
the AWS or Door sensors using this mode. You can range test with these sensors
by causing an alarm and seeing if you get the alert from the panel. To turn
off range test mode press and release the button once. If there are no button
pushes in 20 minutes the Panel will time out and turn off Range Test Mode.
Add Device Mode
Press and hold the button on the side of the panel for 5 seconds. Note, the
Mode light on the front of the panel will be blinking and mostly on. Press and
release the sensor
button inside the case. (See pic above) If the Panel is turned on and in range
the TWS, HTWS and VC100 will all respond with multiple beeps. The AWS and Door
Sensors will only beep once on the button press. ADD VC100 DEVICES FIRST. Go
to the Panel Overview Page on the AWSAMCloud website and match the Sensor ID
on the bottom of the device to the Sensor type and ID on the Panel Overview
section. If no ID shows up after a minute or two you may be out of Add Device
Mode out of sensor range or out of cellular range. If correcting these does
not solve the problem see “Troubleshooting” on the
AWSAMCloud.com Support Tab.
Once added to the Control
Panel on the AWSAMCloud you can go to the device settings page and change the
name, alarm thresholds, or link it to specific valves. NOTE: All
environmental will automatically link to VC100 valve controllers. You can
unlink specific sensors or link specific sensors to specific VC100 valve
controllers. For Example you
would not want a AC sensor to shut off the water in the event of a drain
backup.
