Floor
The control unit needs to be close enough to the
shut-off valves and oor for the sensor wire (6ft)
and control lead wires (5ft) to reach.
The smart module should be between the control
unit and the shut-off valves. It also needs to be
close to a power outlet.
IMPORTANT: The smart module needs a strong signal
from your WiFi router to work properly. Test the strength
of your WiFi network’s signal where you plan to mount
the smart module—make sure your phone is on the WiFi
network you want to use, then look at the WiFi signal
meter on your phone’s screen. Make sure you’re getting
at least 50% signal strength where you plan to install. If
not, try moving your WiFi router closer (or installing a
WiFi signal booster close to the installation).
Write down the smart module’s
MAC address.

- Drywall screws with anchors (included), using the mounting template (included)
- Masonry screws (included), using the mounting template

The back and side of the
smart module list its MAC

to add the module to
the App and your WiFi
network later on, so you
should nd it and write
it down now, before you

A. Download and install the App on your phone.
Search for “RCA Water Shut-Off”
in the Apple App or Google Play
Stores. Look for the icon shown
here and install this App on your
phone.
IMPORTANT!!!
• Make sure your phone is on the WiFi network you
want the Smart Water Shut-Off system to use.
• If you have a dual-band router that uses different
networks for the two bands, make sure the WiFi
signal you use is 2.4GHz, not 5GHz!
• Make sure your Smart Module is ready for setup!
The Link and Activity indicators on the Smart
Module are on when the Smart Module is in Setup
mode. The Smart Module goes into Setup Mode
automatically when you rst power it up and
stays in Setup Mode for 6 minutes. If the Link and
Activity indicators on the Smart Module are not
on, unplug the Smart Module and plug it in again.
B. Launch the App
The rst time you open the App, you’ll be asked
if you want to allow the RCA Water Shut-Off App
to send you notications. Make sure you choose
Allow in this step so that the App can notify you

you only have to enter
your password once
(and you can see it
while you’re entering).
C. Connect the App to your WiFi network (continued)
Make sure you’re on the WiFi network you want
to use!
If the Network Name doesn’t match the network you
want to use, quit the App, go to the network settings
for your phone, and connect to the network you
want to use. Then start the App again.
Enter the password for
your WiFi network. Then
press OK. IMPORTANT:
Double check your
network name and
password—these must
be correct to work with
the App!
Make sure your Smart Module is ready for setup!
If the Link and Activity indicators on the Smart
Module are not on, unplug the Smart Module and
plug it in again.
D. Connect the App to your Smart Module
Once you’ve entered the
information for your WiFi
network, the App starts
searching for your Smart
Module.
When the App’s search
screen displays “Found
devices” you can press
Cancel to stop the search.
NOTE: If you’re connecting
multiple Smart Modules,
wait for the search timer to
complete its search.
E. Conrm your Smart Module is connected and
select it
Your Smart Module should
be listed in the devices
available in the next screen.
The Link indicator on its
front panel goes solid and
the Activity indicator starts
blinking.
Choose the Smart Module
you want to use from the list
that appears (check the MAC
address shown against the MAC address you wrote
down earlier).
Press the Select button next to the Smart Module
you want to add. Then press Next at the bottom of
the screen.
The App nishes setting up the
Smart Module with your WiFi
network and displays a sample
alert to verify that it’s up and
running. In this alert screen, you

no leaks. If there are
leaks, tighten the
hose ttings.
Test the system.

You will also receive a notication from the RCA
Water Shut-Off App (“TEST” will appear on your
screen).
Once the valves are completely closed, the control
unit will automatically re-open them again in about
30 seconds.
The yellow light ashes while the valves are
reopening. The green light comes on when they
have nished reopening.
The test process takes about 25 seconds to
complete and return to normal (valves open and
green light) status.
If the green light doesn’t come back on, unplug
the controller and plug it back in. Then test the
system again.
On
Press and release the Test/Reset

set the audible alarm to sound for 10 seconds only.
To change the audible alarm to 10 seconds only: Press and
hold the Alarm Off button for 2-3 seconds. The yellow LED

a real alarm), then powers off. You will also get
a notication on your phone saying “Device
Disconnected.” When power returns, if the sensor
does not detect water, the control box will open the
valves again.
Vacation Mode
If you plan to be away from home for an extended
period, put the system in Vacation Mode to shut
the valves while you’re gone. Simply press and hold
the Test/Reset button for three seconds. The yellow
indicator light blinks while the valves are closing and
turns solid yellow with the valves are closed.
