Pulsed Transmitters are connected to sprinkler heads, hose bibs, water meter bases, fire hydrants and clean-outs.

Pulsed Water Transmitters are supplied with

  • Damper hose with On/OFF Valve
  • Waste (run-off) hose
  • Filter Washer (not shown in the image above)

Pulsed Water Valves are supplied with Imperial or Metric fittings depending on your region

Always flush any connection site until the water that flows are clear of all rust, silt, sealing compounds and foreign materials before connecting a Pulsed Transmitter Valve to the water line.

Always used the supplied filter washer to the inlet of the Pulsed Water Valve.

Check the filter washer screen (located inside the inlet of the Pulse Transmitter) for debris. Remove and clean if dirty. Replace filter washer if screen is damaged in any way.

NOTE: Water pipes must be full and pressurized. Optimum pressure range is between 3 and 7 bar.

WARNING: Always verify that your Pulsed Water Valve maximum pressure is within the pressure of the target water pipe, by checking the colored heat shrink band on its lead:

  • Yellow: 4 bar max
  • Red: 10 bar max

CAUTION: Always use the Pressured Water Valve on external pipes. If used on an external tap which connect to a building internal pipe network always use the damper and never use this system for extended periods of time (30minutes maximum)

 

The steps to connect to a target pipe are always the same regardless of the nature of the pipe and its connection adaptors:

  1. Ensure the Pulsed Water Transmitter is switched off and the Pulsed Water Valve (PWV) lead is disconnected.
  2. Connect the Pulse Water Valve to your target pipe.
  3. Position the waste hose pipe to ensure the water released is disposed properly.
  4. Connect the Pulsed Water Valve lead to the Transmitter.
  5. With the pulse water transmitter safely and correctly connected turn the Transmitter On by pressing the Power button
