INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

• STEP 1: Plumb the system into your water supply

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.

Note: This system is for INDOOR use only. The system may be installed in any orientation as long as it is configured in the order shown above.

• STEP 2: Download the DROP Connect Mobile
• STEP 3: Determine where you want to locate the HUB and REMOTE

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.

• STEP 4: Follow Mobile Onboarding in the DROP Connect App
  See Users Guide for detailed instructions

• STEP 5: Add & Name Each Device
  See Users Guide for detailed instructions

• STEP 6: Install 9V Battery into your Hub & CPS Control Box
