Leakage protection system
Any flood in the apartment can be stopped in just a few seconds! The unpleasant situations protection system plumbing leaks - Aquastop - block the supply of hot and cold water. I present to you the instructions for installing the emergency stop water.
Aquastop is a very simple system consisting of three components: controller, ball valves and electro leak sensor. The system works on the following principle: water leaking, falls on the sensor mounted on the floor, the detector transmits signal to the controller, and is a device already in turn via elektrokranov stops water inlet in pipeline.
Buying Hitchhiking, you are guaranteed to be able to set it up in his apartment on their own without outside help. The system is easy to install and the following step by step instructions proof.
Firstly, you must place a ball valve in the sequence of introductory manual valves. Establish a system to the main gates, as well as their place is forbidden!
Set the ball valves
Cranes installed in water supply. What you need to do?
- Be sure to cover the opening of the valve before installing valves.
- Disconnect them tap wiring.
- Install taps for water valves.
While, when the output of the opening of the valve type "dad" Aquastop valve simply screwed. Type "mother" (as in the picture), it is necessary to establish "an American."
American - a union nut, is used when it is necessary to connect two sections of thread without rotation, e.g., valve and valve.
Wrap threaded joint sealing (sealant tape fum. thread-Tanguy, flax) and wind an American on opening the valve.
Fumkoy and other means are sealed with threaded connections or refinish plumbing work, repair of household appliances, etc.
American twists special key or Allen.
Connect the Aquastop valve opening and valve. Keep an eye on the flow of water in the crane, the crane has a special designation of the direction of water in the form of arrows.
Now you need to connect the wiring you disconnected earlier to the tap Aquastop.
After Aquastop valves are installed, pressure regulator, set the filter, counters and more.
Installation of the controller in the Aquastop
The controller installed necessarily in a dry and clean environment, with a humidity of not more than 70%. This is done in the hall, in the hallway, in the bathroom or in the sanitary cabinet.
First marking applied to the wall to secure the controller of a base (plate). Drill holes for screws (included). Screw the plate and set it in the controller.
Set leakage sensors
Provodkovye AQUASTOP sensors are installed with open and hidden laying wires. Fixed and not fixed. Hidden installation of cables is done even after repairs, conductors are installed in the baseboard or seam tile.
- sensor wire is placed in a seam between tiles;
- bedplate fixed on the floor by means of screws or double-sided tape;
Wireless sensors are convenient because they do not need wires, they communicate with the controller via a radio signal.
Sensors laid out in places of possible leakage and, if necessary, are fixed on the floor of two-sided adhesive tape.
System Configuration: connect components to the controller
To establish AQUASTOP system, connect all components to the controller, you must do the following operations:
1. Connecting valves to the controller (in tap connectors 1, 2, and Crane et al.).
2. Connecting all the sensors to the controller located on the circuit board on the left numbered.
Wireless sensors are already registered in the controller, so they do not need to be connected.
When mounting the battery pack wire system is connected to a special connector on the board and connected to the main part of the controller. All wires are threaded into the hole.
Installing a wired system of protection against water leaks AQUASTOP completed.
To install a wireless system AQUASTOP connect radio base with the battery pack and attach it to the controller.
The installation is a wireless system of protection against water leaks completed.
Summing up: the installation of the protection system against water leaks AQUASTOP is not difficult, even an amateur can handle. It should be noted, the setting time protection system depends on several factors:
- the number of risers in your apartment;
- free access to the risers;
- number of devices installed in pipes;
- wiring process sensors and valves (hidden, not hidden).
On average, for the installation of AQUASTOP system you need from one hour to four hours.
