These instructions are not intended to be inclusive of all possible pipe and fitting types, nor are they intended to be comprehensive instructions for inexperienced installers. If you are not comfortable with an installation like this, please consult or hire a qualified plumber. Instructions in this guide are based on a new installation, on copper pipe, with push-fit threaded adapters. The Smart Motorized Valve can be installed on CPVC or PEX pipe using the appropriate male NPT thread to compression or push-fit copper, CPVC or PEX adapters. YoLink recommends SharkBite brand fittings. Visit sharkbite.com or find additional information on our Smart Motorized Valve Support page.

Local plumbing/building codes may require a standard non-electric or non- motorized valve for the main water shut-off – do not replace a non-electric shut-off valve with this motorized valve without first consulting with the applicable code authorities. If installing this valve to shut off the main water line, we suggest installing this adjacent to the (non-electric) shut-off valve.

Please use care when working with cutting and other tools than can cause bodily harm if not used properly!

5. If successful, the screen will appear as shown. Tap Done.

6. If the Smart Motorized Valve is not already on, press the SET button for a moment, until the LED illuminates briefly.

(H) Installation

1. Shut-off the water serving the pipe where the valve is to be installed. Drain the water from the pipe, by turning on a faucet, or by other method as required.

2. Depending on the adapter fitting used, measure the length of pipe that must be cut, and mark the cut lines on the pipe, as shown below.

3. Cut the water pipe through the mark using a pipe cutting tool, then remove the cut section of pipe, as shown below.

4. Sand both ends of cut pipe, removing any burrs or rough edges. Use care handling the cut edges, which may be sharp! Wipe off the cut section of pipe with a clean cloth.

5. Install your adapter fittings in the pipe ends, per the manufacturer instructions.

6. Wrap each adapter’s threaded end with thread seal tape, per the tape manufacturer’s instructions, as shown below.

7. Install the Smart Motorized Valve on the adapter fittings, ensuring a secure connection at each fitting, as shown below.

8. At the water valve or point of disconnection, turn the water on again.

9. Verify there are no leaks and no visible water at the pipe fittings or on the Smart Motorized Valve.

10. Test the Smart Motorized Valve several times by pressing the SET button and listening for the smooth closing/opening of the valve, and by checking the water flow at a faucet. The water should be completely turned off while the valve is in the shut position.

11. Test the operation of the valve by controlling it from the app. From the Rooms or Favorite screen, locate your Smart Motorized Valve, tap the image, then tap Close to turn off the water, and tap Open to turn it on.

(I) Manual Operation

It is recommended to use the app or the SET button on the valve, when you need to open or close the valve. But if you need to manually operate the valve, follow these instructions:

1. On the top of the Smart Motorized Valve, lift the manual control knob.

2. Turn the knob, until it no longer turns. Release the knob.

3. View the valve position as shown in the valve position indicator. The indicator will point to O for Open or S for Shut.

4. Verify the valve is fully-closed or fully-opened, as desired, by checking water at a nearby faucet, etc.

(J) About Control-D2D

YoLink Control-D2D is our unique device to device control technology. Using YoLink Control-D2D, YoLink devices can be controlled without the Hub or an internet connection. (Use of YoLink Control-D2D is optional; you can use the Automation feature in the app OR use YoLink Control, but YoLink Control-D2D offers the benefit of operation without the Hub or internet connection.) One device controls another, directly. A device that sends out commands is called the controller. A device that receives the commands is called the responder. Examples of a controller are a Water Leak Sensor, while examples of a responder are a Siren or the Smart Motorized Valve.

Pairing instructions:

1. To configure your Water Leak Sensor* as a controller, press and hold the SET button for 5-10 seconds, until the LED quickly blinks green, then release the button.

2. To configure your Smart Motorized Valve as the responder, ensure the valve is closed (manually, or by pressing the SET button), then press and hold the SET button for 5-10 seconds until the LED quickly blinks green, then release the button. Upon pairing, the LED will stop blinking.

3. Test your paired devices. Upon the detection of water at the leak sensor, the valve should automatically close. Please note: the valve will not open when water is removed from the leak sensor. The valve should be closed from the app or by pressing the SET button on the valve.

4. Repeat for other devices, as needed.

Unpairing instructions:

1. At the leak sensor, press and hold the SET button for 10-15 seconds, until the LED quickly blinks green then red, then release the button.

2. At the Smart Motorized Valve, press and hold the SET button for 10-15 seconds, until the LED quickly blinks green then red, then release the button.

3. Upon unpairing, the LED on the leak sensor and the motorized valve will stop blinking and turn off.

4. Test your devices. The Smart Motorized Valve should no longer respond to a water leak detection at the leak sensor.

5. Repeat for other devices, as needed.

Refer to the sensor’s user guide, as needed. Instructions for Control-D2D pairing can be found in each Control-D2D-enabled product’s user guide.

(M) Factory Reset

Factory reset will erase device settings and restore it to factory default settings. Doing a factory reset will not remove the device from your account and it will not harm the device, or lose any data or require you to redo your automations, etc.

Instructions:

Hold the SET button down for 20-30 seconds, until the LED blinks red and green alternately. Then, release the button. (Holding the button down longer than 30 seconds will abort the factory reset operation)

Factory reset will be complete when the LED stops blinking.

PLEASE NOTE: Only deleting a device from the app will remove it from your account. Factory reset will not delete the device from the app.

(N) Firmware Update

Your YoLink products are constantly being improved, with new features added. It is periodically necessary to make changes to your device’s firmware. For optimal performance of your system, and to give you access to all available features for your devices, these firmware updates should be installed when they become available.

In the Detail screen of each device, at the bottom, you will see the Firmware section, as shown in the image below. A firmware update is available for your device if it says “#### ready now”

Tap in this area to start the update.

The device will update automatically, indicating progress by percentage- complete. You may use your device during the update, as the update is performed “in the background”. The LED will slowly blink green during the update, and the update may continue for several minutes beyond the LED turning off.

(O) Troubleshooting

Symptom:

1. Device is offline
