Read this Manual BEFORE using this equipment.
Failure to read and follow all safety and use information
can result in death, serious personal injury, property
damage, or damage to the equipment.
Keep this Manual for future reference.
Local building or plumbing codes may require modifications to
the information provided. You are required to consult the local
building and plumbing codes prior to installation. If the
information provided here is not consistent with local building
or plumbing codes, the local codes should be followed.
This product must be installed by a licensed contractor in
accordance with local codes and ordinances.
Need for Periodic Inspection/Maintenance: This product
must be tested periodically in compliance with local codes, but
at least once per year or more as service conditions warrant.
All products must be retested once maintenance has been
performed. Corrosive water conditions and/or unauthorized
adjustments or repair could render the product ineffective for the
service intended. Regular checking and cleaning of the product's
internal and external components helps assure maximum life and
proper product function.
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.
Series 765 Pressure Vacuum Breakers are used to protect against
health hazard and non-health hazard backsiphonage conditions in
industrial plants, cooling towers laboratories, laundries, swimming
pools, and lawn sprinkler systems.
The series includes a sensor for use with SentryPlus Alert
to monitor temperature and alert facility personnel when freeze
conditions can cause damage to equipment. (The sensor is installed
on the assembly exterior and does not alter assembly functions
or certifications.) The monitoring system is compatible with BMS
and irrigation management systems, 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.
An add-on connection kit (sold separately) is required to activate the
freeze sensor. Without the connection kit, the sensor is a passive
component that has no communication with any other device. (The
kit can also be used to install an alternative standalone outdoor
sensor or to retrofit existing installations. For ordering details, see
"Add-on/Retrofit Sensor Connection Kit.")
Use of the freeze sensor and activation kit with FZ models does not
replace the need to comply with all required instructions, codes, and
regulations related to installation, operation, and maintenance of the
PVB assembly.
