Additional Details

The Watts SentryPlus Alert® Cellular Flood Sensor Connection Kit provides advanced flood protection for reduced pressure backflow preventer assemblies, enabling cellular communication for real-time alerts.

This kit includes all necessary components to activate an integrated flood sensor on a relief valve, sending alerts via email, text message, or voice call over a cellular network to help prevent potential flood damage and ensure continuous monitoring.

Contents

  • Activation module with 8-foot cable
  • Cellular Gateway with mounting hardware
  • Power adapter, 24V DC
  • Ground wire

Features

  • Installs with no disruption to service.
  • Detects excessive water discharge from the assembly relief valve.
  • Activates the flood sensor to provide connectivity to the Watts Syncta Cloud IoT platform for alerts.
  • Issues alerts by email, phone call, and text message.
  • Is customizable for wet threshold and timer delay.
  • Provides continuous monitoring.

Operation

  • The activation module contains the electronic circuit assembly and interfaces with the flood sensor.
  • The module connects to the Cellular Gateway, which then communicates to the Watts Syncta Cloud IoT platform.
  • When a qualifying discharge event occurs, the Cellular Gateway prompts the Syncta application to alert users of potential flood conditions.

NOTICE: Use of SentryPlus Alert Flood Sensor Connection Kit does not replace the need to comply with all required instructions, codes, and regulations related to the installation, operation, and maintenance of the relief valve to which it is attached, including the need to provide proper drainage in the event of a discharge. Watts is not responsible for the failure of alerts due to connectivity issues, power outages, or improper installation.

NOTICE: The information contained herein is not intended to replace the full product installation and safety information available or the experience of a trained product installer. You are required to thoroughly read all installation instructions and product safety information before beginning the installation of this product.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Watts SentryPlus Alert Cellular Flood Sensor Connection Kit?

This kit is designed to provide flood protection for reduced pressure backflow preventer assemblies by detecting excessive water discharge from the relief valve and sending alerts via cellular communication.

What components are included in the Cellular Flood Sensor Connection Kit?

The kit includes an activation module with an 8-foot cable, a Cellular Gateway with mounting hardware, a 24V DC power adapter, and a 5-foot 24 AWG ground wire.

How does the kit send alerts when a flood condition is detected?

When excessive water discharge is detected, the activation module communicates with the Cellular Gateway, which then sends a signal to the Watts Syncta Cloud IoT platform. This platform issues alerts to users via email, phone call, or text message.

Is the flood sensor's sensitivity adjustable?

Yes, the activation module is designed with adjustable settings for both the wet threshold (sensitivity to water discharge) and the timer delay (duration before an alarm is triggered).

What models of backflow preventers are compatible with this cellular flood sensor kit?

This kit is compatible with specific Watts and Ames reduced pressure backflow preventers, including Watts LF919 (1/2 to 2 IN), 957, 957RPDA, LF957RPDA, 994 (2 1/2 to 10 IN), 994RPDA (2 1/2 to 6 IN), and Ames C400, C500, LFC500 (2 1/2 to 10 IN), 5000SS (2 1/2 to 6 IN), and 4000SS (2 1/2 to 12 IN).
