Instruction Manual

Washing Machine Kit –
FS3/4H-90 & FS3/4H

Congratulations on your purchase of a FloodStop by OnSite PRO™ electronic water leak detection and automatic water shut-off kit for washing machines. This product has been designed to give you years of reliable service and minimize home water damage by detecting water leaks and automatically shutting off the water supply.

To ensure proper installation and to maximize the performance of your FloodStop water leak detection system, please read this manual thoroughly.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING:
If a leak is detected, the FloodStop Valves will shut off the water going to the washing machine. This will stop the continuous flow of water from the water supply valve to the washing machine. However, all or some of the water that is already in the washing machine and hoses may still leak out onto the floor.

NOTE: This unit was shipped with an installation and operating manual that contains important information about its operation. If you are installing this unit for use by others, we recommend you leave this manual – or a copy of it – with the user.

How to Operate your Control Panel

Testing Your FloodStop System

1. Push the Open button to make sure FloodStop Valve is open.
   • When the FloodStop Valve is opening or closing, you will hear the valve motor operating for a few seconds.

2. Saturate a rag with water and squeeze over Leak Sensor, or dip the Leak Sensor into a small bucket of water. Once the Leak Sensor is wet, it will signal the FloodStop Valve to close, then an audible alarm will sound and a red light will flash.
   • Push the Mute button to silence the alarm, and note that the red light will continue to flash. This means the FloodStop Valve is closed, and will remain closed until you push the Open button.
   • Before the FloodStop Valve can be opened, the Leak Sensor needs to be dry. There is no need to unplug the unit when drying off the Leak Sensor.
   • The water test can be done with the paper sleeve still on the Leak Sensor. Note that the paper sleeve is reusable, but once it gets wet you will need to let it air dry flat before placing it back on the Leak Sensor.

Helpful Hints

• If the Leak Sensor Paper Sleeve is misplaced or becomes unusable, a paper towel can be used in its place.
  • The Leak Sensor has two sets of prongs so you can connect additional Leak Sensors. You can link them together so they are positioned at different locations around your laundry area.

• Once a month, the FloodStop Valves will automatically close and open by themselves. The
  Control Panel is programmed to run this cycle to ensure that the valves continue to function properly in the event that they need to shut off the water.

• Hanging Wires may be tied together using twist ties (Not provided).

Troubleshooting

Manual Operation of FloodStop Valve

1. Unplug the connection between the Control Panel and the FloodStop Valve.
2. Pull the plastic motor cover off the FloodStop Valve and slide it down the wire until it stops at the plug. Note that no tools are needed to remove the cover.
3. Use a marker and draw a line across the top of the plastic motor housing. This way once the motor is removed you will know how to reposition it for assembly.
4. Remove the 4 screws using a Phillips head screwdriver.
5. Place thumb and finger on plastic gear and rotate clockwise to open valve or counter clockwise to close it. Do not use tools to manually open or close valve.
