Manually Bypassing Your System: The Commercial Protection System requires a bypass loop to be installed to allow
the system to be taken in and out of service. To take your system out of service close the ball valve on the inlet side of the
Motorized Valve and the ball valve on the outlet side of the Transducer Assembly. Then open the ball valve for the bypass
loop.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack equipment.
Systems are sized for 1.5”, 2”, or 3” inlet / outlet.
With the bypass loop in bypass position, turn on the main water supply. Open
a cold soft water tap nearby and let run a few minutes or until the plumbing
is free from foreign material (usually solder or debris from cutting the pipe)
that may have resulted from the installation. Once clean, close the water tap.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
As shown above, all DROP devices that plug into 120 volt outlets expand the DROP Link mesh network.
When placing the DROP Hub and Remote, keep in mind that installing them in separate areas of the
facilty will expand the network. This is important to consider if you have leak detectors that are located
in far extremes of the building.
If you wish to connect your system to local WiFi for remote control and notifications,
please install the DROP Hub in a location that has a good WiFi signal.
