There are six steps necessary to properly perform a
pre-installation survey. These are:
1) Determine the best location for the Leak Defense
System valve
The valve must be located downstream of any fire
sprinkler system and, ideally, should be located
down-stream of all irrigation lines. The valve should be
installed in an indoor location free from direct sun and
moisture.
If installed outdoors, ensure the LDS valve/actuator is
protected against rodent damage, gardener damage,
freeze damage, and UV damage, by wrapping it in a
protective insulated pouch or plastic protective enclo-
sure. Sentinel can provide one of these options upon
request.
2) Determine if any of the following water using
systems are downstream of the Leak Defense
System valve:
a) Reverse Osmosis Water Purification System
b) Water Softener System
c) Irrigation System
d) Automatic Pool Fill System
e) Outside hose bibs
f) Booster pump with holding tank/bladder
g) Any other appliance that may automatically use water
3)
If any of the above are present down-stream of the
Leak Defense System valve, please contact your sales
representative for accessories to accommodate these
items.
4) Determine where a non-switched 120 VAC outlet
is in a dry location and determine how you will get
the (2 conductor) power wire to the transformer at
this location
24 VAC from the transformer should not be run longer
than 100 feet. If a longer power wire is needed, it is
recommended that a new 120VAC outlet be installed
closer to the Leak Defense System
5) Determine where the customer would like the
wireless control panel and confirm it is within
100’ of where the valve is installed
A standard 120 outlet is required to provide power to
the wireless panel
6)
A battery backup or generator is recommended for
locations that are prone to power outages
