Introduction

The Home Heartbeat Water Shut-Off Controller is designed
to help you manage the flow of water into your home.

You can use any Home Heartbeat sensor as a “controller”
in combination with the Water Shut-Off Controller. For
example, when used with Water Sensors, the system can
be set to automatically shut off the water to your home in
the event of a burst pipe or appliance leak. Or, you can add
an Attention Sensor to shut off your main line with the press
of a button. Your Home Key can be used to open and close
the valve, or you can choose to operate the unit manually.

This Guide will introduce you to Water Shut-Off Controller
and assist you with setup and use.

Getting Started

Before installing the Water Shut-Off Controller,
please note the following:

The product is for:

• Indoor use only.

• Use with cold water lines only.

The use of this product requires the installation of:

• The HomeHeartbeat Starter Pack.

• At least one Home Heartbeat Sensor, which acts as a
controller to trigger an alert and close the Water Shut-Off
Controller (Eaton recommends Water Sensors and Attention
Sensors).

• A Home Heartbeat Brass Ball Valve (not included), through
which the Water Shut-Off Controller is connected to the main
water line. The ball valve must be pre-installed at least 18”
downstream from a water meter and within 8 feet of a power
outlet.

WARNING: Do not put fingers
inside the ball valve, as it
can close with a force strong
enough to sever them.

Installing the Water Shut-Off
Controller

Follow these steps to install the Water Shut-Off Controller:

1. Place the Water Shut-Off Controller by joining it to the
brass ball valve that was installed on your main water
line.

2. Set up the Water Shut-Off Controller using the Home
Key.

3. Test that the system is working.

4. Choose sensor controllers that, on alert, will
communicate with the Water Shut-Off Controller to
shut off the water to your home.

5. Use the product—get alerts, and open and
shut the valve.

1. Prepare

Prepare the ball valve by following the following four
steps:

• REMOVE retaining ring

• REMOVE valve handle

• REMOVE plastic washer

• REMOVE screw and nut

NOTE

Valve handle may be difficult to slide off.

TIP: try sliding a flat head screwdriver between the handle and
the valve to help pry it loose.

2. Place

JOIN the Water Shut-Off Controller to the ball valve by lining

up the pegs on the Water Shut-Off Controller to the holes on
the brass ball valve.

Make sure the Slide Channel is facing you. The long side
of the Water Shut-Off Controller should be parallel to the
water pipe.

ATTACH the horseshoe clip to hold the Water Shut-off
Controller in place. When doing so, make sure that the clip
rests on the inside of the pegs as shown in the bottom left
hand corner of this page.

WARNING

To reduce risk of electrical shock, fire or damage to property
or device:

• DO NOT use extension cord.

9

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of pinching your fingers, keep your hands
away from the water shut-off controller when you connect
the power.

PLUG IN the Water Shut-Off Controller to a nearby outlet.
DO NOT use an extension cord. You will hear the Water
Shut-Off Controller rotate the ball valve 180 degrees. The
green LED light will blink while the unit checks its position.*
Wait for it to stop blinking before moving to Step 2.

*Each time the Water Shut-Off Controller is first turned on (for example,
during installation or after a power outage), it rotates the ball valve 180
degrees to check its position.
