WARNING
!
Series LF007 is designed for installation at referenced cross-
connections to prevent the backflow of polluted water into the
potable water supply. Model IOT (available only with NRS gate
valves) includes factory-installed pressure sensors on three test
cocks (No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4).
LF007-NRS-IOT
NOTICE
Use of integrated pressure sensors on and monitoring connection
kit with IOT models does not remove the need to comply with all
required instructions, codes, and regulations related to installation,
operation, and maintenance of the backflow preventer.
Watts is not responsible for data transmission failures due to
power issues.
NOTICE
For IOT models, an add-on monitoring connection kit is required
to collect psi measurements from the integrated pressure sen-
sors. Without the connection kit, the pressure sensors are passive
components and will not communicate with any other device.
For BMS only. (The connection kit and pressure sensors are
also available for existing installations. See “Add-on Monitoring
Connection Kits,” for ordering details.)
