Float Installation
• Mount the float and float switch bracket to the discharge pipe using the stainless-steel pipe clamp provided
to the desired activation level.
• Tighten the hose clamp using a screwdriver and plug the float sensor cord into the bottom of the DROP Alert
unit.
• Plug the power connector into the DC power cable plug and the other end to the wall outlet.
Reporting Operation
DROP Alert reports to the Hub every minute while being powered externally and every 10 minutes on
battery power. If the DROP Alert fails to check in, it will attempt again repeatedly until it succeeds.
When the DROP Alert has missed a check in, it will flash the network light until it is able to connect to
the Hub again. If it has not succeeded in checking in with the Hub after one hour, the Hub will send a
notication that the DROP Alert has lost connection. If this happens regularly, you may need to help
improve the DROP network as indicated above. If an alarm condition occurs, temperature changes
signicantly, or temperature surpasses a set point, the DROP Alert will report to the Hub immediately.
Battery Operation
The DROP Alert uses 2 AA batteries for battery backup purposes. The battery backup will initiate
when a power failure occurs. If battery power gets low, the low battery light on the DROP Alert will be-
gin to flash and chirp once a minute (but only outside “Quiet Time” hours). A low battery notication
will also be sent by the DROP system.
