Abstract:
A system for monitoring and controlling a flow of fluid in an environment and a method of using the system to control the flow of fluid in the environment. The system comprises a main valve positioned at an entry point of the environment. The main valve permits fluid to be discharged into the environment upon receipt of an authorized request to a controller from one or more authorizing signaling devices. The controller communicates with the authorizing devices and processes signals from the authorizing signaling device to control the flow of fluid in the environment. The system may also comprise one or more monitoring signaling devices positioned in the environment intermediate the main valve and an authorizing signaling device.

Claim (Index 16):
The system according to  claim 15 , wherein one or more of the monitoring signaling devices comprises a check valve, wherein the check valve comprises:\n a. a main body having an inlet side and an outlet side for a flow of fluid therethrough, b. an insulation ring disposed with a portion of the main body and a contact ring disposed within the insulation ring, wherein the insulation ring, the contact ring and the main body each have a hole in a surface therein that align to receive a connectivity pin; c. a stopper disposed within the main body that is capable of making contact with the contact ring to create a ground with the main body and complete a circuit, wherein the stopper is held in place by a biasing member and a retainer; and d. a radio frequency device having a unique signal code that can communicate with a radio frequency device of the controller, the radio frequency device being operatively connected to the main body; wherein when the stopper detaches from the contact ring, the radio frequency device communicates a signal code to the controller.
