Installation and Operation
Adjusting the Time Delay
• Adjust the time delay to avoid alert / valve closure due to intermittent or nuisance relief valve discharge. The delay is adjustable from 0 seconds to over 1 hour.
• Adjust the time delay by using the delay adjustment dial in the
Junction Box.
• Use a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust either the range
selector (0-6, 0-12, 0-30, 0-60) on the left side or the unit
selector (0.1 sec, sec, min, hr) on the right side.
• Increase the time delay by adjusting the dial clockwise;
decrease the time delay by adjusting the time delay counterclockwise.
• Recommended adjustment delay is 30-60 seconds. However,
the ideal set point can vary widely depending on the product
application, including drain size, location, backflow preventer,
water pressure, and tolerance for discharge.

Installation and Operation
Installing the Wireless Node
!
WARNING
Ensure all power supply to the Wireless Node is turned
off before making any connections to the Wireless Node.
Failure to do so may result in electrocution, personal
injury, and/or death.
1. Identify preferred location for mounting Wireless Node. The
Wireless Node must be located away from large metal components and structures that may block the cellular signal. In
addition, the cellular antenna is located on the inner sidewall
of the enclosure (11). When mounting, ensure that this side
of the device is away from any walls, wires, pipes, or other
obstructions, especially anything metallic.
2. Before mounting, plug in the Wireless Node to ensure that
a connection can be made in the preferred location. Once
plugged in, the device will automatically go through a startup process. A cellular connection has been made if, after the
start-up process, the Cellular LED (8) is a steady blue. If it is
blinking, there is a poor connection, and if it is off, there is
no connection. If there is a poor or no connection, identify a
new location for mounting.
3. Unplug the Wireless Node from the power supply.
4. Mount the Wireless Node in the identified location using the
four 0.27" diameter mounting holes (13). Screws are not
included.
5. Route wires from terminals 7 and 8 of the Junction Box
through the wiring gland (12) and connect to the Wireless
Node at the "Flood" screw terminal (2). Polarity does not
matter. Six feet of wire is supplied with the unit, but the
Wireless Node can be located up to 100 feet away from
the Junction Box. If additional wire is used. it must meet the
required rating for the Junction Box (300V, 16-24 AWG).
6. Route wires for included 12VDC power supply through the
wiring gland (12) and connect to the Wireless Node at the
appropriate screw terminal (1). Polarity must be correct or
the Wireless Node will not operate.

Installation and Operation
Wireless Node Operation
1. Start-Up – Upon start-up, the Power LED (7) will light up
a steady green to indicate power is supplied. The Wireless
Node will automatically go into its start-up sequence. During
the start-up sequence, the light over the Program button
(5) will begin as solid white and then change to a blinking
green, indicating the Wireless Node is searching for a cellular connection. Once a cellular connection is established, the
Program button light will start blinking cyan, indicating that
the Wireless Node is connecting to the Cloud. Once a Cloud
connection is established, the Program button light will blink
rapidly for a few seconds, and then shut off. The Cellular
LED (8) and IoT LED (9) should both be a solid blue.
2. Cellular Connection – Once the start-up sequence is
completed, the Cellular LED will be a steady blue if there is
a good connection. It will blink if there is a poor connection.
There will be no color if there is no connection.
3. IoT Connection – If there is a Cloud connection, the IoT
LED will be a steady blue. There will be no color if it is off.
NOTICE
If there is no Cloud connection, then notifications will not be
sent to the user via Syncta.
4. Flood LED – If a flood event occurs, the Flood LED (10)
will be a steady orange. It will remain on so long as there
is a flood condition.
5. Test Button – When Cellular and Cloud connections
have been made, a test message can be sent through the
Syncta app by pressing the Test Button (3).
6. Reset Button – You can reset the Wireless Node and
restart the start-up sequence by pressing the Reset button (4). This will cause all on-going operations to cease.

Start-up Instructions
1. Open Junction Box. Apply power and observe the Electric
Relay Control.
2. Pour adequate amount of water into RPZ Relief Valve Air
Gap until the red LED indicator light on the Electrical Relay
illuminates / flashes. This indicates the Flow Sensor is properly installed and is sensing water in the discharge piping.
3. Trap water in discharge piping and observe red LED on
Electrical Relay. A message will be sent via Syncta when
the duration of the time delay elapses, observe Flood LED
(10) to ensure activation after the time delay. Adjust time
delay to customer/project specifications. When connected to a LFF113RFP ACV, solenoid will energize and valve
will go closed after time delay elapses. To manually reset
valve, refer to step four in the Start-Up Instructions of the
LFF113FP Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual,
available on watts.com
4. For final test simulate actual RPZ Relief Valve discharge
and observe floor drain for excessive pooling or flooding.
