• Sprinkler Coverage:
  • For Standard Spray Sprinklers, select both spacing and coverage from the dropdown menu.
  • For Residential and Extended Coverage sprinklers, select the required spacing.

Once you’ve completed the sprinkler data entry form, click “Insert Sprinkler”. The form will close, and you can proceed with sprinkler placement in the AutoCAD environment.

Additional Tips:

• You can turn the sprinkler to the left or right by pressing the “L” and “R” keys.

• Press the “F” key, then select the baseline and enter the specific distance to locate the sprinkler from the selected line.
• If a sprinkler is placed closer than the minimum allowable distance specified by the standard, a ‘CS’ indicator will appear next to it to warn of potential cold soldering.
