• Access to the Sentryx website is required to complete this

installation. If you do not have a user account or cannot log in, please

contact your site administrator. [Alerts from the Sentryx platform

will be provided for (a) coverage strength feedback in the "Field

Work" section and (b) "success" in Section 36. In order to receive

alerts, you need to create a Sentryx account (with current email

address and cell number provided), select email and/or text alerts,

and bring an electronic device to receive these alerts into the ﬁeld.]

• Before installation, visit each potential site and verify G LTE CAT

M coverage. Reference the Mueller Cellular Signal Strength guide

(F14334).

FIELD WORK

For Retroﬁt Kit

• Signal Strength:

– Prior to disassembly of installed hydrant, conﬁrm cell coverage at

site of installation.

– Hold the new bonnet near the same height and location of

installation.

– Place the commissioning tool close to the bonnet, approximately

1/4˝ away, above ˝M˝ on the seal plate ﬂange, while keeping away

from iron parts. (Reference to the right ).

– Move the commissioning tool up along the curve of the bonnet

keeping it approximately 1/4˝ away from the surface. This action

will cause the bonnet to awaken and search for a connection.

 If the bonnet 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. See Appendix A.

 If message indicates a weak signal, select a diﬀerent location.

 If message indicates a strong signal, proceed through

instructions below.

and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

CAUTION

COMPLY WITH ALL REQUIRED INDUSTRY, SITE, STATE, AND

FEDERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

DO NOT DROP NEW HYDRANT LOWER STEM OR NEW

BONNET ASSEMBLY. DAMAGE MAY OCCUR.

THE ANTENNA ON THE STEM CAN BE DAMAGED BY A

FORCEFUL IMPACT FROM A SEAT WRENCH – UTILIZE CARE.

For complete Sentryx software enabled Super Centurion It is just as important to confirm the location's signal strength prior to installing a complete Sentryx software enabled Super Centurion. However, the bonnet will already be installed on the hydrant. Please reference the Mueller Cellular Signal Strength guide (F14334) for suggestions on how this can be accomplished. HYDRANT FLUSHING • Depending on the location of the hydrant, conditions of piping, hydrant lateral, etc.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SENTRYX SOFTWARE ENABLED SUPER CENTURION: The following instructions apply to the installation of the Sentryx software enabled Retrofit Kit. For the complete hydrant, install the same way as a Super Centurion Fire Hydrant (Reference AWWA M17). Once installation is complete, follow steps 37-40 below. 6. Remove o-ring from upper barrel. Slide slotted end of A-359 over top of stem and engage the pin in upper stem. Turn ˝T˝ head tightening wrench against stem*. 7.

11. Unscrew lower valve nut and remove. 12. Remove lock washer, stem seal, lower valve plate, main valve, seat ring and upper valve plate. 13. Remove lower stem from upper stem. 16. Reassemble main valve assembly to new lower stem (Reverse steps) with newly provided brass lower valve nut and tighten to 90-115 ft-lbs. 17. 14. Straighten stainless steel lock washer. 15. 4 Clean, inspect and replace any damaged parts (Super Centurion main valve can be reversed to provide a new seal).
PAGE 5
18. Bend edges of lock washer over one flat on the lower valve plate and one flat on the brass lower valve nut. 21. Reassemble wrench to upper stem. Pull up on seat wrench to ensure main valve is completely closed, lower support arm, and tighten thumb screw, while maintaining main valve in the closed position. Turn main valve assembly clockwise to 100-190 ft-lbs. 22. Remove the seat wrench. 23. Attach brass sleeve to upper stem and lubricate outside to protect o-ring seals from thread damage. 24.
PAGE 6
26. Place the new bonnet assembly on top of the upper stem, slide it down to top of upper barrel, and hand tighten bolts (8). Remove brass sleeve. 29. Reassemble operating nut, anti-friction washer (on top thrust collar of operating nut), bonnet o-ring, hold down washer, and hold down nut (hand-tighten to secure in place). 27. Check condition of wiper ring and o-ring seals (on the outer diameter and inner diameter of the hold down nut) and bonnet o-ring. 30. Torque bonnet bolts (8) to 40-80 ft-lbs. 28.
PAGE 7
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. 32. Remove outer oil plug with a 5/16" hex-key wrench then remove inner oil plug with a 1/4" hex-key wrench. 35.

APPENDIX A Figure 1: Signal Strength Feedback: Weak WARNING FOR WEAK SIGNAL STRENGTH CONSIDER MOVING SMART HYDRANT TO AN ALTERNATE LOCATION WITH BETTER CELLULAR COVERAGE. INSTALLATION AT CURRENT LOCATION MAY CONTINUE; HOWEVER, POOR TRANSMISSION OF CELLULAR SIGNAL, POSSIBLE LOSS OF DATA, POOR BATTERY LIFE, AND POTENTIAL CHALLENGES RECEIVING OVER AIR UPDATES MAYBE ENCOUNTERED WITH CURRENT LOCATION.
