Electrical connection

Risk of death due to electric shock
EN
During installation, water leakage may occur
and this can result in a short circuit or electric shock.
The socket outlet and electrical appliances must not be
located directly next to or below the RE.GUARD water
control unit.
A suitable power supply unit is included with the
device for transforming from 110 to 230 V
alternating current. Only this power supply is allowed to
be used to connect the RE.GUARD water control unit.
In the event of a defect in the power supply unit, a
spare part is available which can be purchased
separately.
The RE.GUARD water control itself is operated with a
safety extra­low voltage of 12 V direct current.
REHAU recommends that the RE.GUARD water
control should be protected on a circuit with
overvoltage protection to which, for example, a
frequently used power consumer is connected (e.g.
light). This allows the lack of mains current for the
RE.GUARD water control to be detected more quickly
when this circuit fuse is tripped.
A free socket for Euro plug type C is required for a safe power
connection.
The total length of the cable from the power supply unit to the
RE.GUARD is approx. 1.25 m and must not be extended or
shortened. Avoid mechanical stresses on this cable.
In order to increase the reliability of leakage detection, REHAU
recommends inserting the emergency power batteries.

Commissioning
After the RE.GUARD water control has been installed and the
mains plug connected, the device performs a self­test and is
ready for operation after a few seconds. From this point on, a
leakage protection function for pipe bursts and droplet leaks
is already available, but only within the preset factory settings.
REHAU strongly recommends that the steps
described in the technical documentation "RE.
GUARD Water Control", chapter "4 Operation" should
be carried out – especially for operation via smartphone
app – and that all settings should be adapted to the
specific building. This is the only way to ensure the best
possible protection of the building against water
damage.
