Users Manual

1 User Manual – Trident™ Wireless Leak Detection System The Detection Group system has been protecting Class A commercial and multi-family buildings for over 10 years and is installed in hundreds of properties. The system wirelessly monitors leak-prone areas 24x7 and immediately notifies you by phone, text or email of the precise location of a leak. Patent-pending Trident is the newest sensor system from The Detection Group. Trident detects and reports water leaks and can shut water off when required. With an extended communications range based on an RF frequency, Trident can protect virtually any type or size of building. As a fully wireless system, it can be deployed anywhere inside a building and is easily installed in existing buildings and in new construction. The Trident system is comprised of sensors, hubs and a Smart Base Station (SBS). A sensor is the end-device that detects water. Sensors communicate information to hubs, and those in turn communicate with the Smart Base Station. The Smart Base Station connects to the cloud over a dedicated ISP Ethernet line, and uses an analog voice line or cell modem for redundant back-up communications. Hub(s) Hubs are installed strategically to connect a group of sensors to other Hubs and the Smart Base Station. This must be installed before the sensors.
