- Low voltage design with battery backup
The G.R.I. Water Valve Shutoff System
was designed as a flood prevention device. This system utilizes an
electronic controller to provide automatic control of an electronic
water valve that is installed in the main water supply line. The
controller continually monitors water sensors that are placed in areas
where flooding from water line breaks are most likely to occur; washing
machine, hot water heater, sinks, dishwasher. When water is sensed by
the water sensor, the sensor will signal the controller of the presence
of water. The controller then automatically powers the electronic
valve and signals it to close. Once the controller senses that the
valve is in the closed position, the controller will then trigger the C
form relay that can be used to signal a remote monitoring device, such
as an alarm panel or auto dialer. While in this alarm condition, the
controller will annunciate an audible alarm and flash an alarm
indication LED. The controller will stay in this alarm condition with
the valve closed up until the reset button is depressed. When the reset
is depressed while in the alarm mode, the controller will either open
the valve and return to the normal monitoring mode or if the sensor
still senses the presence of water, the controller will annunciate an
alarm condition and the valve remains in the closed position. At any time, the position of the valve can be changed with the use of the controller simply by depressing and holding down the reset button. If the valve is open, a press and hold
will cause the valve to close. If the valve is closed, a press and hold
will open the valve.
