**Salamander Reservoir: Installation on a Wet Sprinkler System**

|  | **Step 1: Preparation for Installation** *Recommended installation begins after a sprinkler technician has installed a nipple, ball valve and plug to receive the Salamander Reservoir.* |
| --- | --- |
|  | **Step 2: Attach the Salamander Reservoir** *Leave the ball valve between the system and the Salamander Reservoir in the closed position and attach the Salamander Reservoir.* *Be sure to leave the Salamander Reservoir’s ball valve slightly ajar before beginning Step 3.* |
|  | **Step 3: Bleed the Air from the Reservoir** *Slowly open the ball valve between the system and the Salamander Reservoir about a quarter of a turn. This will allow the reservoir to fully fill with water, and bled out any air from the system.* *Once water has bled out of the bleed valve for a few seconds, close the ball valve on the Salamander Reservoir, and screw in the ball valve plug.* *The Reservoir is now full of water, and at equal pressure to the rest of the sprinkler system.* |
|  | **Step 4: Final Positioning** *Fully open the ball valve between the system and the Salamander Reservoir and ensure connectivity between the sensor and the gateway.* |
