Hi. I have a DSC 832 / 5010 panel, with about 2 dozens zones. It's been w orking great for years. My setup is like this:
- DSC 5010
- 5 DSC4985 flood sensors around the house (dishwasher, ice maker, bathroo m, sump pump, etc.).
- FloodStop main water shutoff valve in furnace room next to DSC panel.
- FloodStop is also connected to its own wired flood sensors on the furnac e room floor, and connected to DSC panel.
- FloodStop looks like this: formatting linkdStop_p/fs34npt.htm
When water is detected on furnace room floor and triggers FloodStop sensor, FloodStop automatically shut offs main water supply, and triggers a DSC zo ne, triggering an alarm.
If a wireless DSC 4985 sensor triggers around the house (ie. dishwasher), t he DSC alarm sounds, but FloodStop is not affected and so the main water su pply is not shut off.
I want to update my setup so that if any alarm or zone is triggered in the house (or ideally just a DSC 4985 flood zone), the DSC panel will either tr igger a custom relay, or close a circuit. I would use that relay/circuit t o trigger the FloodStop sensor on the floor, and thereby shutoff the main w ater supply.
Is there a way for me to wire a circuit off of the DSC panel that will only close if an alarm sounds, or specific zones are triggered? Or is there s ome other way to do what I am trying to do? Which is effectively have the wireless DSC 4985s trigger my FloodStop main water line shutoff valve.
Thanks, -Glen.
