Monitoring of the Zonecheck Flow Switch Tester
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Operating Voltage: ZCK-1: 120V, 60Hz; ZCK-1E, ZCK-1EG, ZCK-1EN and ZCK-50: 220VAC, 50Hz, 7.5W Max.
Operating Temperature: 0°C to 49°C (32°F to 120°F)
Operating Humidity: 5% to 95% RH (non-condensing)
Mounting Options: Includes back box for surface or flush mounting.
For pre-wiring, use a 411/16˝ x 411/16˝ back box
Operation Modes: Self Test: Wired locally. Timed out, pump disabled after 2min ±15sec
Group Test: Interconnected
LED Operation: Ready state: No LED
Test initiation: Green LED
Flow switch activation: Red LED (ZCK-1), Green LED (ZCK-1E, ZCK-1EG, ZCK-1EN and ZCK-50) Tested to EN 61010-1
Note: Zonecheck key switch features a time out function in Self Test mode that
allows the user to start the flow switch test which will end automatically after
two minutes. The waterflow detector will be activated during the 2 minute
timeframe, upon activation the waterflow detection LED on the zonecheck
key switch will turn on and remain that way until the key is returned to the
standby position.
If this product is not used as specified, it may become impaired.

NOTE: WF INPUT not required for key switch operation if waterflow detector is connected to a panel or other monitoring device. AC power and pump
wiring must conform to NEC or your local codes.
ZCK-1E, ZCK-1EG, ZCK-1EN AND ZCK-50
If the pump used in this application is grounded, it must share the same input/output earth ground as the device.
An overcurrent protection device such as a switch or circuit breaker is required. The protection device must be clearly marked and have a maximum
rating of 16 A.
There are no ventilation requirements.
PRE-OPERATION GUIDELINES
Contact central monitoring station or appropriate fire safety personnel prior
to testing Zonecheck.

Only activate the Zonecheck key switch when the valves are opened and the
sprinkler system is full.
ZONECHECK TESTING: SELF-TEST MODE
ZCK-1
To activate the Zonecheck wired locally to the key switch insert key and turn
to the right. The green LED will illuminate to show that the pump has been
activated. After two minutes the green LED will turn off to show the pump
has been deactivated. The red LED will illuminate once the waterflow detector
has been activated and will remain on until the key is returned to the standby
position.
NOTE: The red LED will not illuminate if the waterflow detector is not wired
to the key switch. When testing has been completed, turn the key back to the
standby position.
ZCK-1E, ZCK-1EG, ZCK-1EN AND ZCK-50
To activate the Zonecheck wired locally to the key switch insert key and turn
to the right. Green LEDs will illuminate when either the pump or the waterflow detector are activated. After two minutes the pump led will turn off,
showing that the pump has been deactivated. The water flow detection LED
will remain on until the key is returned to the standby position.
NOTE: The LED for the waterflow detector will not illuminate if the detector
is not wired to the key switch. When testing has been completed, turn the key
back to the standby position.
ZONECHECK TESTING: GROUP-TEST MODE
All Zonecheck systems whose key switches are interconnected (refer to interconnecting wiring diagram), may be activated from any key switch. To initiate
the group test, insert key and turn to the left.
The LEDs on the key switch used to initiate the group test indicate the activity
for the Zonecheck unit and waterflow detector connected to that key switch only.
When testing has been completed, turn the key back to the standby position.
