Flood Free Zone Flood Proofing Products and Water Damage Control System Instruction Manual

INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL


CAUTION: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The most important consideration when intalling the Flood Free Zone Water Control and Conservation ystem (FFZ) is safety. Please observe the following precautions:

• Installation and maitenance of the FFZ system must be performed by qualified service personnel.

• The FFZ valve actuator requires connection o a properly grounded 110v electrical outlet. Contact a licensed electrician if an outlet is needed.

• Always turn off the pwer at the breaker panel before working with an electrical circuit and follow all required safety instructions elatie to electrical work.

• It is recommended that a licensed plumber install the FFZ valve in the inlet water line.



FFZ WATER CONTROL AND CONSERVATION SYSTEM COMPONENTS

• Valve – ¾” or 1” 600 WOG Ball Valve • ACU - Actuator – 24VAC 2 Position Cotrol

• AMU – Actuator Module Unit (Factory Installed in ACU)

• HHU – Handheld Unit – Remote Control

• HSU – Home Security Unit – (Security System Interface)

• Power adapter – 120v/24v Convertor

• 2 AA Bateries



INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Ensure the water inlet supply is turned off t the main valve.

2. Verify the FFZ valve is the proper size for the inlet water supply line.

3. Position the FZ valve in the inlet supply line within easy reach as the unit is equipped with a manual override in the event of a loss of power.

4. The preferred location or the FFZ valve is downstream of the pressure reducing valve as shown below. This will allow for all sprinkler systems to perform when the FFZ valve is in the closed position.

5. Plug the FFZ A/C adapter into a properly grounded 110v electrical outlet. The FFZ valve is now ready for operation.

Flood Free Zone Water Conservation & Flood Prevention Remote Control ShutOff System

USING THE HHU REMOTE CONTROL

The FFZ-HHU unit is a two way communication dvice. It transmits and receives signals from the FFZ valve actuator.

Flood Free Zone |  Flood Control & Water Conservation Remote Controlled Water Control System | Call 770-874-5997 1. Install the two AA bateries furnished with your FFZ Water Control and Conservation ystem into the HHU Remote Control.

2. Press either the “OPEN” or “CLOSE” buton. The remote will either display “OPEN” or “CLOSE” indicating the status of the FFZ valve.

3. Press either “OPEN “ or “CLOSE” a second time and the unit will begin to operate open or close based on the command. This will be indicated by a momentary flashing of either OPEN” or “CLOSE”.

4. For security system use, press the “AUTO” buton on the remote. This will actiate the HSU unit which will control the operation of the FZ valve.

5. At any time, the emote control can be used to operate the unit or retrieve status of the FFZ valve position. A flashing OPEN” or “CLOSE” indicates the FFZ valve is in the process of either opening or closing. A constant “OPEN” or “CLOSE” display indicates the valve is completely open or closed.

NOTE: The HHU is designed to work within the interior confines of the home. In some cases barriers may exist within the home that interferes with signals. It may be necessary to determine the optimum loation or best communication fom the HHU to the FFZ valve.



USING THE HSU SECURITY SYSTEM INTERFACE

Flood Free Zone |  Flood Control & Water Conservation Remote Controlled Water Control System | Call 770-874-5997 1. The FFZ valve can also be operated from the HSU Home Security Unit.

2. The HSU Unit is designed to be installed within a home security system panel. It requires a 6-12vdc power input from the security panel. Power is installed on the power terminals 1& 2.

3. To operate the FFZ valve from the HSU a contact closure or switch is required on terminals 3 & 4. This closure switch should be an output from the security panel. Consult your home security company for installation

4. Operation fom security system can be set using the switch on the HSU. When the switch is “ON” or in the UP position, the FZ unit will be closed in the AUTO position. A ontact closure or switch from the security system will cause the FFZ valve to open. The opposite will occur with the HSU switch in the “OFF” or down position. The FZ valve will be open when the Auto buton on the HHU is pressed and a contact closure on the HSU will cause the FFZ valve to close.


USING THE AMU BYPASS

In the event that the HSU is lost, the FFZ valve can be operated utilizing the AMU ypass butons. They are located on the FFZ AMU unit which can be found on the back of the ACU actuator. They are labeled with arrows pointing clockwise and ounterclockwise.

1. To open the FFZ valve press the counterclockwise buton. The valve should begin to rotate open – note the handle movement – operation fom closed to open will be about 2 minutes.

2. To close the FFZ valve press the clockwise buton. The valve should begin to rotate closed – note the handle movement – operation fom open to closed will be about 2 minutes.


USING THE MANUAL OVERRIDE

Flood Free Zone |  Flood Control & Water Conservation Remote Controlled Water Control System | Call 770-874-5997 In the event of a power outage or system problem, the manual override clutch may be required to operate the FFZ valve. The manual override consists of two operations.

1. Using the thumb on the right hand, push the manual clutch in a clockwise motion. The cluch will rotate slightly allowing the valve to become declutched from the actuator.

2. Turn the handle on top of the unit to rotate the valve counterclockwise to open and clockwise to close. The handle will only rotate 90 degrees.

CODE MATCHING THE HHU REMOTE, ACU and HSU

The communications odes of the 3 units, HHU, ACU & HSU are factory set to communicate. However, if any of the three units are replaced for any reason, code matching will have to be performed to ensure proper communication btween all devices.

1. If replacing the HHU (HHU is master code carrier): Put bateries in new HHU and close cover. Using a paper clip or similar, push and hold the “match” buton on the ACU, then press the “auto” buton on the HHU; the code matching will be completed automatially.

2. If either HSU or ACU is a new unit, repeat the above procedure with the new unit.


TROUBLESHOOTING THE FFZ WATER CONTROL AND CONSERVATION SYSTEM

Trouble Condition
Cause of Problem
Problem Resolution
FFZ valve will not operate with HHU   Power disconnected from FFZ ACU   Plug power cord into FFZ ACU and verify operation - pess bypass buton to verify
    HHU Remote bateries are weak   Replace HHU bateries
    Interference with communication signal   Verify location does not have physical obstructions. Locate area which HHU will communicate
    Communications code not matched between devices   Perform code matching function or ACU - see code matching instruction
FFZ valve will not operate with HSU   Power disconnected from FFZ HSU   Verify 6-12vdc power input from security system
    Contact closure/switch not present from security system   Verify HSU operation y shorting erminals 3 & 4 with wire. Contact security company for assistance
