Self-Shutoff : Once loss of power is detected, automatically shutoff valve to avoid leaks
Alarm light with external case lens
2-Wire diagnostics to simplify and expedite troubleshooting
Four isolated wire paths prevent full system failure under a single short
Trending 12-month electrical history reports and proactive action
