Installation Instructions
Freeze Sensor Connection Kit
For Select Watts and FEBCO Valve Assemblies or
Standalone Operation
Read this Manual BEFORE using this equipment.
Failure to read and follow all safety and use infor-
mation can result in death, serious personal injury,
property damage, or damage to the equipment.
Keep this Manual for future reference.
You are required to consult the local building and plumbing codes prior
to installation. If the information in this manual is not consistent with
local building or plumbing codes, the local codes should be followed.
Inquire with governing authorities for additional local requirements.
Freeze sensor solely provides alerts about a possible freeze event
and cannot prevent a freeze event from occurring. User action is
required to prevent freeze conditions from causing product and/or
property damage.
Use smart and connected sensor technology with valve
installations to monitor temperature and alert facility
personnel when freeze conditions can cause damage to
equipment. The Freeze Sensor Connection Kit includes two
temperature sensors, allowing the user to choose which is
more suitable for installation. One sensor can be mounted
to a valve assembly; the other installed outdoors as a
standalone unit.
When the kit is installed with either sensor, the sensor is
activated and wired to a monitoring system. As temperature
nears and reaches the freezing point, the monitoring
system relays a signal to a connected building or irrigation
management system, allowing freeze alerts to be
distributed according to the BMS or IMS application. When
the monitoring system is Wi-Fi enabled, notifications can be
issued through the Smart Freeze Alert cloud service.
NOTICE
Use of the freeze 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 protection against a freeze event.
Watts is not responsible for the failure of alerts due to
connectivity issues, power outages, or improper installation.
