LF919-QT-FS
Series LF919 is equipped with a flood sensor that triggers
notification of potential flood events from excessive relief valve
discharges.
NOTICE
An add-on connection kit is required to activate the flood
sensor. Without the connection kit, the flood sensor is a passive
component that has no communication with any other device.
(A retrofit sensor connection kit is also available for existing
installations. See "Add-on and Retrofit Sensor Connection Kits,"
for ordering details.)
NOTICE
Use of the flood sensor does not replace the need to comply
with all required instructions, codes, and regulations related to
installation, operation, and maintenance of this product, 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
or power issues.
