Help Me Connect

This Watts 1 inch Lead Free Reduced Pressure Zone Backflow Preventer includes a flood sensor with SentryPlus Alert technology. It is designed for enhanced monitoring by connecting to an add-on sensor connection kit to extend flood detection capabilities.

The entire system integrates with a Sensor Control Monitor (available separately) for advanced alert delivery and data management. The Sensor Control Monitor can collect data and transmit alerts to a Building Automation System (BAS) via RS-485 Modbus or directly to the Nexa platform via Wi-Fi connectivity, providing remote maintenance alerts and data streaming.

Installation of electrical connections for the Sensor Control Monitor and associated equipment should only be performed by a certified technician following all applicable local, state, federal, and governmental requirements, building and construction codes and standards.
