Signal Strength:

–

Prior to disassembly of installed hydrant, confirm cell coverage at

site of installation.

–

Ensure the hydrant is depressurized. Remove pumper

cap and install new pumper cap assembly on the pumper nozzle.

–

Open the Sentryx application and log in.

–

Hold the phone close to the Pumper Cap. (See image)

- If the pumper cap assembly does not establish a connection

(i.e. no Sentryx alert is provided within 5 minutes), select a

different location.

–

Once a connection is established, the Sentryx platform will send

out an email and/or text message (Depending on initial

configuration) displaying the signal strength.

- If message indicates a strong signal and proper cap orientation,

proceed through instructions below.

For complete Smart Hydrant Solutions It is just as important to confirm the location's signal strength prior to installing a complete Smart Hydrant Solutions Super Centurion. However, the Pumper Cap Assembly will already be installed on the hydrant. HYDRANTFLUSHING • Depending on the location of the hydrant, conditions of piping, hydrant lateral, etc. prior to depressurization it is recommended to flush the hydrant until water is clear prior to the insertion of Smart Hydrant.

CAUTION ALWAYS FILL THE OIL RESERVOIR WITH THE BONNET INSTALLED, THE HYDRANT IN ITS NORMAL UPRIGHT POSITION, AND THE MAIN VALVE FULLY CLOSED. FILLING THE HYDRANT WITH OIL UNDER ANY OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES CAN RESULT IN OVERFILLING AND CREATE A PRESSURE LOCK. THIS COULD DAMAGE THE SEALS OR BONNET OR PREVENT PROPER HYDRANT OPERATION. 30. Remove the oil plug with a 1/4" hex-key wrench. Pour 1 bottle of Mueller hydrant lubricant into the oil reservoir until the bottle is empty or the oil is level with the hole.
