• Use of the Leak Controller™ is restricted to water supply lines in a home, office or

recreational vehicle.

• Do not allow small children to play with the controller, their fingers could get stuck or

injured inside of the controller valve. Only insert a pipe, tube or a fitting of the proper

size into the controller valve.

• Operate the unit only with “AA” size alkaline type batteries.

• Never open the cover to the controller, this will void the warranty and damage the

product.

• The sensors can not having anything placed on top of them.

• Do not connect the controller to a hot water line; connect only to the cold water supply.

Open the battery door and remove the battery holder. Take this moment to record the

installation date on the inside of the battery door, and on the

space below:

Original Battery Installation Date:

Additional Battery Change Dates:

Gently disconnect the battery holder from the snap connector.

Insert the 4 batteries into the battery holder slots, matching the

positive (+) and negative (-) terminals. Gently reconnect the

snap connector to the battery holder and insert the battery

holder into the battery compartment and close the battery door.

* You should see the blue LED light flash twice, hear the

speaker chirp twice, and then see the LED light flash once

every 5 seconds.

Turn the source water you will be connecting to off. Preferably, the controller will be installed

as far upstream (closest to where the water is access from the main plumbing) as possible from

the device you will be protecting, such as under the kitchen sink or behind an appliance. If you

are going to cut an existing plumbing line, allow for an extra ¾” of tubing on each side of the

controller valve as the valve requires ¾” of pipe or tubing to properly seal.

There are 2 ways to connect the controller to the water line that you want to protect depending

on the type and material of the tubing:

a) Plastic Tubing. Measure the length of tubing needed, and then add

at least one extra foot of tubing for both the incoming and outgoing

lines; this allows you to easily reach the controller. Cut the tubing

with a tube cutter, or very sharp razorblade. It is very important that

the cut is clean and straight through to ensure a good connection into

the quick-connect fittings.

b) Copper Tubing. Measure the length of tubing needed to easily reach the controller, you

may want to use some extra tubing in the event that you have to service the appliance or

controller, if this is the case, loop the extra tubing taking

care that the tubing enters the valve correctly. Use a

simple circular tube cutter (can be purchased from

hardware store) to cut through the tubing in a straight cut.

It is important that the cut is clean and straight through to

ensure a good connection into the quick-connect fittings.

c) Braided tubing. Visit www.leakcontroller.com

Avoid sharp changes in direction when routing the tubing. It is very important to have the

tubing inserted parallel to the valve, do not allow the tubing to exert any upward or downward

force on the valve connection.

Open the valve by turning the front Knob (with the finger-fitting wave grips) ¼ turn clockwise

to the green mark on the cover. Now the controller is open and

loaded. Press the front button and the alarm will sound to activate

the controllers’ test feature. The controller will beep and flash

four times and close the knob back to the red closed position.

Next, the alarm will sound, the LED light will flash twice, and the

controller circuitry will automatically reset itself. Again, open the

valve by turning the front knob ¼ turn clockwise to the green

mark on the cover.

Now the controller is ready to be connected to your water supply

and the controller is in the ready and armed state. The LED light

should be flashing once every 5 seconds, the speaker is off, and

the knob is in the green-armed position.

Quick Reference

♦

♦

The Leak Controller is beeping, how do I shut it off?

•
