    Project Overview and Objectives

    The objective of this project is to provide the CUSTOMER with a fully functioning flow monitor that is properly installed and calibrated such that HydroPoint can provide the CUSTOMER with leak and flow monitoring services through HydroPoint’s WaterCompass platform.  This includes the proper and complete installation of the FM200 Flow Monitor, as many calibration readings as possible in the initial visit, and a complete WaterCompass Installation Inspection Report (WCIR).

    Scope of Work

    Upon acceptance of this project, the CONTRACTOR agrees to complete all aspects of the work described in this scope of work and to verify that all points of information requested are thoroughly and completely submitted via the specified collection tool, and according to the timeline outlined herein.  

    The CONTRACTOR agrees to thoroughly and promptly communicate with the assigned HydroPoint Professional Services Project Manager regarding all aspects of the project. The project deliverables shall be completed for each site and will be verified by HydroPoint Professional Services via the submitted WaterCompass Installation Report (WCIR)

    Phase 1: Pre-Installation

    The CONTRACTOR shall access the CIR Form by going to  www.hydropoint.com/psforms on their mobile device. Click on WaterCompass Installation Report (CIR) and this will open the link in to Record Information and Remove Existing Controller: 

    The CONTRACTOR shall verify that he/she has access to the Activator App provided by HydroPoint.   This app is critical for proper installation, verification and calibration of the FM200 device.   

    The CONTRACTOR shall inspect all equipment provided by HydroPoint Professional Services prior to the physical installation of the devices and verify that there is no visible damage to any of the equipment and that all necessary equipment is accounted for.   If any damage is discovered, or if any equipment is missing the CONTRACTOR shall immediately contact the Project Manager for a resolution.

    Phase 2: FM200 Flow Monitor Installation

    The CONTRACTOR shall securely mount the FM200 device to the vault wall using the appropriate hardware, as determined by the specific site conditions.  The Device should be installed in a serviceable location, and where good cellular signal can be obtained.  After the device is securely mounted, the CONTRACTOR shall then follow the instructions provided with the device to ensure that the Sensor is properly affixed to the meter register, as designated in the installation instructions.   

    The CONTRACTOR shall then follow the validation and activation process as outlined in the FM200 installation instructions.  The steps require the use of the Activator App, and include performing a Signal Test, device initialization, device/meter pairing, base reading, and where possible, calibration readings.  

    The CONTRACTOR shall document each step of the process as directed in the installation instructions and the WCIR form.  

    Phase 3: Post-installation

    The CONTRACTOR shall use the WCIR FORM and completely answer all questions contained in the Installation and Verification sections.  Once the form is complete and submitted, the CONTRACTOR shall call HydroPoint Contractor Services at (707) 285-3250 and confirm the that WCIR has been received, reviewed and confirmed.  The CONTRACTOR shall not leave the site until the Contractor Services Representative or Project Manager has confirmed that the Installation is complete and accepted by HydroPoint, or if a message is left, until 30 minutes has expired, whichever comes sooner.
