3. Glossary
The glossary lists all words, abbreviations and technical terminology used in this
manual, along with a short description of these terms.
Table 1. Glossary
Term
Description
Auto-run
The outputs to the water valves for basin, shower and
WC can be set to automatically operate at a set time
every day. The water valve will operate for the cycle set
run time as per a user activation. The Auto-run feature
can be used for maintaining hygiene standards similar to
the Hygiene Purge function detailed below, note that
only the Auto-run or Hygiene Purge would be utilized
and not both together.
Building Management
System
BMS
A Building Management System is a computer-based
control system installed in buildings that controls and
monitors the building’s mechanical and electrical
equipment such as ventilation, lighting, power systems,
fire systems, and security systems.
WDCMS
The WDCMS Wallgate system is use for standalone
networking of the WDC control units to a dedicated PC
or laptop computer. You can manage the WDC units
through the network. You can also adjust time cycle
settings, lockout settings, remote water isolation on
individual units or groups, RTC settings, etc. You can
also view the unit status in real time and log data.
Data Logging
Activations of the Hygiene Purge function detailed below
are logged in memory and then using additional software
the logs can be downloaded from the WDC200 and
imported into a spreadsheet report.
Dual Flush
This option is used when both full and half flush options
must be provided, using either one or two inputs.
Exclusivity
This feature prevents more than one water outlet from
being operated at a time.
Full Flush
This feature uses a 6 litre or 4.5 litre flush.
Reduced & Half Flush
The reduced flush is ⅔ of a full flush and the half flush ½
of a full flush.
Hygiene Purge
This feature operates services unused for a specified
number of days. This avoids water stagnation when the
services are unused for longer periods.
Latching
A latching switch is a switch that maintains its state after
being activated.

Term
Description
Lockout
The term Lockout refers to regulating services by
restricting the number of usage cycles.
Momentary
A momentary switch returns to its normal OFF position
when released.
Piezo touch button
A piezoelectric touch button converts the force applied to
the face of the touch button into an electrical signal.
Power Rating
The power rating of a device is a guideline set by the
manufacturer as a maximum power to be used with that
device.
Purge Cycle
This feature is used to assist in removing air trapped in
the plumbing system.
Remote Lockouts
The term Remote Lockout refers to isolating water
services from a remote location.
RJ45 connection
The RJ-45 connectors are used to connect the WDC unit
to a PC or laptop.
RTC
Real Time Clock. This is a 24 hour 7 day clock used by
the WDC200 for program features such as Time Slots
and Hygiene Purge.
System Test
The System Test is a feature that allows you to operate
switches and touch buttons and make sure that these
operate the necessary outputs such as lights or valve
solenoids.
Time Slots
Usage of services such as basins, showers and WC
pans can be controlled using preset time slots. For
example, this feature can be used to prevent all the
showers in a facility being operated simultaneously
during peak periods, straining the capacity of the water
supply. The day is divided into 4 time slots, normally set
at 00:00 to 06:00, 06:00 to 12:00, 12:00 to 18:00 and
18:00 to 00.00.
Toggle type switch
A toggle switch is a class of electrical switches that are
actuated by a mechanical lever, handle, or rocking
mechanism.
Water Lockouts
Water Lockout means regulating water services by
restricting the number of usage cycles.

4. Product summary
The WDC200 electronic control units are designed to operate the water outlets to a
wash basin* (x2) (Hot & Cold), a shower (x2) (premixed warm water) and the flush
for toilet water closet pan (x2) (WC). The WDC200 therefore has the capacity to
control two suites of products and can be located between two rooms.
*The WDC200 can be set to operate with a bath instead of a basin if required. This
would entail the installer or client adjusting water run times to 180 seconds for hot
and cold, or as preferred.
The WDCA200 model based upon the WDC200 is for 120v 60Hz electrical supply
operation using an external power adapter (UL/CSA approved) to connect to the
12VDC input socket on the WDCA200 control unit.
The control unit comprises of a microprocessor that is programmed with a software
program that has the following operational features:
• User friendly Software menu system with security controlled access.
• Independent control of multiple outlets.
• Fully programmable precise time control of water valve operation that is fully
adjustable in situ by the installer / customer.
• “LOCKOUT” function to prevent product misuse that is fully adjustable for the
number of user operations, operations period, lockout period, and the
“LOCKOUT” function can be ENABLED or DISABLED to suit the individual
requirements.
• Single or dual flush for WC control.
• Piezo touch button or infrared sensor capable inputs.
• Auxiliary inputs for remote operation of:
• Remote lockouts (Room 1 / Room 2).
• WC remote flush.
• WC reduced flush using a second touch button.
• Clear lockouts.
• Purge function.
• Not used
• Flow sensor for hygiene purge data logging.
• Multiple outlet control feature (COMMUNAL mode setting), so that one unit can
be used to operate up to eight water valves instead of default pre-sets for basins
and WC pans.
• Diagnostic test routine to assist with fault finding.
• Networking units to remotely control from a central PC desk position(s).
• Data logging of hygiene purges.

5. Installation and Commissioning
5.1. Package Contents
Before you begin the installation, make sure that you have the following items:
✓ 1 WDC200 Electronic control unit
✓ 1 Product manual.
5.2. Site Preparation
5.2.1. Advice on attaching the unit
• Attached the unit to a vertical surface that is able to support the weight of the unit.
• Attach the unit in dry surroundings above pipes carrying water, away from any
possible plumbing leaks.
• Attach the electronic control unit where there is easy access. Attach the unit so
that the keypad and display on the unit are readily visible and accessible.
WARNING! Do not mount the unit upside down
The control box has four feet with holes for attaching the unit to the wall using four
round head screws, No 8 x 30mm (1.25 inch). For the location of the mounting feet,
refer to Figure 1 on page 10.
5.2.2. Electrical connections
• All cables must be connected to the unit using the sockets at the bottom of the
unit enclosure.
• The power cable must be connected to the unit through the cable gland.
• The control unit requires an electrical supply of 115-230V AC (Fuse 2 Amp) 50Hz
60 Watts.
• The mains supply cable from the unit must be terminated into a double pole fused
spur connection unit with a contact separation of at least 3mm. Use a 2 Amp fuse
in the connection unit.
• Place the connection unit near the controller unit.
• Position all electrical fittings such that water cannot drip on the electrical fittings if
a leak occurs, or a pipe bursts.
WARNING! The controller unit must be earthed using the earth lead in the
power cable.
