HomeSeer HS-WV100+ Z-Wave Valve Controller Installation Guide

HS-WV100+ Z-Wave Valve Controller

OVERVIEW & INSTALLATION

HS-WV100+ is a valve control system that is designed to control the flow of water when Z-Wave commands are received. It may be used with compatible home automation systems (and sensors) to mitigate water damage when leaks are detected. It may also be used for a variety of other automated or remotely controlled water or irrigation needs.

Install Electronic Water Valve
The included electronic water valve must be installed into the existing plumbing. For whole-building protection, the valve should be installed where it can turn off all of the water entering the premises. In a residential setting, this is typically on the main water line coming into the house. Variations in plumbing make it impossible to provide detailed instructions for your installation. Your situation may require rerouting the waterline or other changes to your plumbing. It is your responsibility to check with your local codes department to determine if a licensed plumber is required to install the Electronic Water Valve.
*** CAUTION – Do NOT insert fingers into the valve as this may cause serious injury!

Install HS-WV100+ Z-Wave Water Valve Controller Unit
The water valve controller unit should be positioned near the electronic water valve.

1. Mount the water valve controller to the wall using appropriately sized hardware (not included).
2. Attach the electronic water valve cable to the “VALVE” connector on the water valve controller.
3.  Attach the supplied power adapter to the “DC12V” connector on the water valve controller.
4. Power the system by plugging the power adapter into a wall outlet.

Z-Wave Network Installation
Inclusion (Use this procedure to add the HS-WV100+ to your Z-Wave network).

1. Put your home automation controller into ‘inclusion’ mode. Consult your system’s manual for details.
2. Press the “program” button on the water valve controller unit. Wait for the process to finish.

Exclusion (Use this procedure to remove the HS-WV100+ from your Z-Wave network).

1. Put your home automation controller into ‘exclusion’ mode. Consult your system’s manual for details.
2. Press the “program” button on the water valve controller unit. Wait for the process to finish.

Reset (Use this procedure to reset the HS-WV100+ to factory default settings when the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable).

1. Press and hold the “program” button on the water valve controller unit for 15 seconds. The LED will blink rapidly.
2. When the LED turns off, release the program button. Your water valve controller unit is now reset.

OPERATION

Remote Valve Operation (use this procedure for remote or automatic control of the water valve)
HS-WV100+ valve controller behaves like a Z-Wave “binary” device, with “ON” and “OFF” values, when added to most home automation systems.
Open Valve – Issue “ON” command from Z-Wave controller or Z-Wave compatible home automation system.
Close Valve – Issue “OFF” command from Z-Wave controller or Z-Wave compatible home automation system.
Local Valve Operation (use this procedure for convenient local control of the water valve)
Open Valve – Press and release the ’Open’ button on the water valve controller unit to open the water valve.
Close Valve – Press and release the ’Close’ button on the water valve controller unit to close the water valve.
Local Manual Valve Operation (for use in the event of a power failure or water valve controller failure)
Open Valve – Pull the thumbwheel on the water valve housing up and rotate the wheel counter-clockwise.
Close Valve – Pull the thumbwheel on the water valve housing up and rotate the wheel clockwise.

Z-WAVE ASSOCIATION INFO

The HS-WV100+ has a single Association Group, Group 1 also known as the “Lifeline” group. Four (4) NodeIDs can be SET into Group 1. Typically the ZWave system controller will be the most important member of Group 1.

LED INDICATOR – The blue LED on the face of the water valve controller unit Indicates the current operating mode.

LED| Mode
OFF| Power is off
BLINKS slowly| Not Joined to a Z-Wave network – Press the Z-Wave button to Join
BLINKS quickly after pressing Z-Wave button| Sent Z-Wave Node info and attempted to either include or Exclude from a Z-Wave network. Expires after about 10 seconds if not Joined
BLINKS very quickly| The sensors from the valve are in an invalid state. This happens while the valve Is in transition or If there Is a fault in the wiring.
WINKS ON| if the LED is OFF most of the time and briefly “winks” ON every 2 seconds, then the valve is CLOSED and the HS-SV100+ is Joined to a Z-Wave network
WINKS OFF| if the LED Is ON most of the time and briefly “winks” OFF every 2 seconds, then the valve is OPEN and the I-IS-SV100+ is joined to a Z-Wave network

TROUBLESHOOTING|
---|---
PROBLEM| SOLUTION
Not Powering on – No LED lights| Check outlet for voltage:
If there Is no voltage check the fuse panel for thrown breaker. If voltage but no power, replace the power supply.
Unable to join to a Z- Wave network| Perform a Z-Wave Exclusion on the device first, then try re-Including. If that falls, press and hold the Z-Wave button for 30 seconds to do a full Reset to Factory Defaults.
Bring the water valve controller unit close to the Z-Wave system controller (3 feet or less).
Valve nonresponsive| Make sure the valve Is plugged Into Z Wave Valve Controller. If It Is still not responding to commands replace the valve.
