Flood Sensor Connectivity

  • To activate the integral flood sensor and enable alerts, an add-on connection kit is required. Without this kit, the sensor operates as a passive component without communication capabilities.
  • Available connection kit options include:
    • Building Management System (BMS) integration.
    • Cellular communication.
    • Sensor Control Monitor for integration with Building Automation Systems (BAS) via RS-485 Modbus or the Nexa® platform through Wi-Fi.

Additional Details

The FEBCO MasterSeries LF886V Reduced Pressure Zone Detector Assembly, 3 inch, is designed to protect potable drinking water systems from backpressure and backsiphonage conditions in high hazard and toxic applications. This assembly is suitable for use in industrial installations where local codes mandate protection from non-potable water being pumped or siphoned back into the system.

This lead-free backflow preventer features ArmorTek® coating for advanced corrosion resistance and a flood sensor with SentryPlus Alert® technology to detect excessive water discharges from the relief valve.

Construction & Features

  • Ductile iron body construction for main valve and relief valve, coated with patented ArmorTek® three-part advanced epoxy system to resist microbial-induced corrosion (MIC) and protect exposed metal substrate.
  • Lead Free construction, with wetted surfaces containing less than 0.25% lead by weight, complies with low lead installation requirements.
  • Stainless steel relief valve seat and check components ensure maximum performance and durability.
  • Inline serviceable design for both main valve and 3/4 inch bypass assembly, requiring no special tools.
  • Bypass assembly includes a CFM water meter to detect potential underground leaks or unauthorized water usage.
  • Modular and repairable pressure differential relief valve, clapper check assembly, captured O-ring design, and field replaceable seats and discs.
  • Flood sensor with SentryPlus Alert® technology detects excessive water discharges from the relief valve and can relay signals for multichannel alerts (call, email, text) when activated with an add-on connection kit.
  • Includes OSY resilient wedge gate shutoff valves and four properly located resilient seated ball valve test cocks.

NOTICE: An add-on connection kit is required to activate the flood sensor. Without this kit, the sensor is passive and will not communicate with other devices. Watts® is not responsible for alert failures due to connectivity issues, power outages, or improper installation.

FAQs

What is the primary function of this backflow preventer?

It protects potable drinking water systems from contamination due to backpressure and backsiphonage in high hazard and toxic applications, such as industrial installations.

What is the significance of "Lead Free" construction?

The wetted surfaces of this product contain less than 0.25% lead by weight, complying with strict low lead installation requirements and ensuring safe potable water usage.

How does the ArmorTek® coating benefit the assembly?

ArmorTek® is a patented three-part advanced epoxy system applied to the ductile iron body to significantly reduce microbial-induced corrosion (MIC) and protect exposed metal substrates, extending the assembly's lifespan.

What does the SentryPlus Alert® flood sensor do?

The flood sensor detects excessive water discharges from the relief valve. When activated with an add-on connection kit, it can relay signals to notify personnel about potential flooding events via call, email, or text.

What type of shutoff valves are included with this assembly?

This assembly comes with domestic OSY (Outside Stem & Yoke) resilient wedge gate shutoff valves, which are UL Classified and FM Approved for reliable operation.
