Introduction
The Home Heartbeat Water Shut-Off Controller is designed
to help you manage the flow of water into your home.
You can use any Home Heartbeat sensor as a “controller”
in combination with the Water Shut-Off Controller. For
example, when used with Water Sensors, the system can
be set to automatically shut off the water to your home in
the event of a burst pipe or appliance leak. Or, you can add
an Attention Sensor to shut off your main line with the press
of a button. Your Home Key can be used to open and close
the valve, or you can choose to operate the unit manually.
This Guide will introduce you to Water Shut-Off Controller
and assist you with setup and use.

Getting Started
Before installing the Water Shut-Off Controller,
please note the following:
The product is for:
• Indoor use only.
• Use with cold water lines only.
The use of this product requires the installation of:
• The HomeHeartbeat Starter Pack.
• At least one Home Heartbeat Sensor, which acts as a
controller to trigger an alert and close the Water Shut-Off
Controller (Eaton recommends Water Sensors and Attention
Sensors).
• A Home Heartbeat Brass Ball Valve (not included), through
which the Water Shut-Off Controller is connected to the main
water line. The ball valve must be pre-installed at least 18”
downstream from a water meter and within 8 feet of a power
outlet.
WARNING: Do not put fingers
inside the ball valve, as it
can close with a force strong
enough to sever them.

Installing the Water Shut-Off
Controller
Follow these steps to install the Water Shut-Off Controller:
1. Place the Water Shut-Off Controller by joining it to the
brass ball valve that was installed on your main water
line.
2. Set up the Water Shut-Off Controller using the Home
Key.
3. Test that the system is working.
4. Choose sensor controllers that, on alert, will
communicate with the Water Shut-Off Controller to
shut off the water to your home.
5. Use the product—get alerts, and open and
shut the valve.
8
1. Prepare
Prepare the ball valve by following the following four
steps:
• REMOVE retaining ring
• REMOVE valve handle
• REMOVE plastic washer
• REMOVE screw and nut
NOTE
Valve handle may be difficult to slide off.
TIP: try sliding a flat head screwdriver between the handle and
the valve to help pry it loose.
9
2. Place
JOIN the Water Shut-Off Controller to the ball valve by lining
up the pegs on the Water Shut-Off Controller to the holes on
the brass ball valve.
Make sure the Slide Channel is facing you. The long side
of the Water Shut-Off Controller should be parallel to the
water pipe.
ATTACH the horseshoe clip to hold the Water Shut-off
Controller in place. When doing so, make sure that the clip
rests on the inside of the pegs as shown in the bottom left
hand corner of this page.
WARNING
To reduce risk of electrical shock, fire or damage to property
or device:
• DO NOT use extension cord.
10
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of pinching your fingers, keep your hands
away from the water shut-off controller when you connect
the power.
PLUG IN the Water Shut-Off Controller to a nearby outlet.
DO NOT use an extension cord. You will hear the Water
Shut-Off Controller rotate the ball valve 180 degrees. The
green LED light will blink while the unit checks its position.*
Wait for it to stop blinking before moving to Step 2.
*Each time the Water Shut-Off Controller is first turned on (for example,
during installation or after a power outage), it rotates the ball valve 180
degrees to check its position.
11
3. Set up

5. Choose sensor controllers
Now that you’ve installed and tested the Water Shut-Off
Controller, you can consider the types of situations when
you’d want it to close its valve and shut off the water to
your home. During this step, you can choose one or several
Home Heartbeat Sensors to use as controllers.
The Water Sensor works well as a controller because it
can sense the presence of water and, when set to “Alarm
on Wet”, will communicate back to the Water Shut-Off
Controller to shut its valve. It can be placed below washing
machine, toilet, or sink hookups to help reduce damage if
they burst from aged or faulty pipes or seals.
In addition to your Home Key, the Attention Sensor can be
used as a controller to shut the Water Shut-Off Controller
valve from a convenient location, such as your kitchen.
For example, you may want to shut off the main water to
your vacation home before leaving. If you set the Attention
sensor to alarm in the In-Home Awareness setting and
press the front of it, it will shut the valve. The LED on the
20
front of the Attention Sensor will light up when the alert is
sent, and will continue to blink to remind you that you shut
off the valve. To open the valve again, please see “Opening
and closing the ball valve” in Part 5, Use.
Once you have decided on the sensors you want to use as
controllers, follow these steps to set them up:
1. REVIEW each sensor that you want to be a controller.
Make sure they are all set to alarm. Sensors that are
not set to alarm will not appear on your Home Key and
cannot be used.
2. ROLL OVER the Water Shut-Off Controller icon on your
Home Key.
3. DOUBLE CLICK the thumbwheel, highlight and CLICK on
Pick Controllers.
If you cannot see a controller in the list, scroll to
Done, Go back and CLICK once to exit from the
Water Shut-Off Controller menu. Now, highlight and
21
DOUBLE-CLICK on the icon you would like to use as a
controller. Make sure that:
a. The controller is in range of the Base Station.
b. It is set to Alarm on ___ under the In-Home
Awareness setting, and/or is set to Call me on
___ under the “CallMe” Awareness setting
4. Highlight the name and CLICK the thumb wheel to select
each device you want to use as a controller. When you
have finished, highlight and CLICK on Done, go
back?
Note: If you choose a sensor as a controller and later
change its In-Home Awareness setting to Don’t alert
and/or its “CallMe” Awareness setting to Don’t
call me, it will be automatically removed as a sensor
controller under the Water Shut-Off Controller menu called
Pick controllers?
22
6. Use
Getting alerts
After correct setup, the Water Shut-Off Controller will
shut off the main water to your home if any or all of the
controllers send an alert. If a controller alerts, you will
see a full-screen alert flashing red on the Home Key or
receive an alert on your cell phone or through email,
depending on how you’ve set up the system.
If the system fails to send an alert
There are two cases when the Home Heartbeat system
might fail to send an alert to your Home Key, cell phone,
or email. In these cases, the Water Shut-Off Controller
ball valve will not close, and you should check it as soon
as possible.
When an alert is triggered by a sensor controller but
does not reach the Base Station
23
The ball valve will not close. The sensor will keep trying
to send the message to the Base Station. If the message
does not reach the Base Station after an hour, the icon
for the sensor controller on the Home Key will display a
question mark and amber background.
When an alert triggered by a sensor controller reaches
the Base Station, but the Base Station fails to send it to
the Water Shut-Off Controller
The ball valve will not close. The Home Key will notify
you and the Base Station will keep trying to send
notice of the alert to the valve. If you have “CallMe”
Awareness set, the system will send you a text
message about the issue to your cell phone or email.
After addressing the cause of the alert
After the issue that caused the alert has been
addressed, you can re-open the Water Shut-Off
Controller ball valve either using the Home Key or
manually by following the steps in the next section,
Opening and closing the ball valve.
24
Opening and closing the ball valve
Using the Home Key when sensor controllers are not in an
alarm state
ROLL OVER and highlight the Water Shutoff icon on the
Home Key.
DOUBLE CLICK the thumbwheel and then select
Change Valve State. Select Open.
Using the Home Key when sensor controllers are alarming
ROLL OVER and highlight the Water Shutoff icon on the
