System Overview
The ADS TRITON+
®
flow monitor supports nine (9) flow measurement
devices for gathering flow data:
x AV|Gated Sensor This sensor, which mounts at the bottom of
the pipe, contains an upward-looking ultrasonic depth sensor, a
gated Doppler velocity sensor which measures flow velocity at
multiple discrete points to measure average velocity, a pressure
depth sensor, and a water temperature sensor. It also contains an
Accelerometer sensor to measure sensor rotation and slope for ease
and accuracy of installation.
x AV|Max Sensor This sensor, which mounts at the bottom of the
pipe, contains an upward-looking ultrasonic depth sensor, a
continuous wave Doppler peak velocity sensor, a pressure depth
sensor, and a water temperature sensor. It also contains an
Accelerometer sensor to measure sensor rotation and slope for ease
and accuracy of installation.
x Inclinometer This sensor, which mounts on any flat surface of
the wastewater collection side of the flood gate, allows angle
measurements to accurately determine the state of the flood gate
positioning.
x Long Range Depth Sensor This sensor, which is secured to an
accompanying mounting bar beneath the manhole cover, contains
an ultrasonic transducer housed within the integral parabolic
reflector. The transducer and reflector work in tandem to measure
the depth of flow in the manhole. The Long Range Depth Sensor
also includes a magnetic Submersion Sensor that affixes to the
manhole frame. It detects the water level above the parabolic
enclosure up near the manhole lid.
