Analog Input/Output Installation and Configuration 8-9
Analog Outputs
The ADS FlowShark models 5000-CL, 5000-CS, 5000-CG, and
5000-CG-1 can be configured to perform synchronous or real-time
measurement of depths, velocities, and flow rate and provide any
two of these measurements to third-party equipment via 4-20mA
analog signal output.
Real-time measurement means the monitor measures depth and
velocity and calculates quantity (if required) continuously. The
monitor must receive external power to support analog output
operation. In some cases, a 24VDC power supply will be required
to provide power to drive the analog outputs. An ADS 12/24V
Power Supply (p/n 5000-0728) can power both the monitor and
analog output loop. Refer to pages 8-11 and 8-12 for cable pin outs
and signal definitions. Refer to page 8-15 and 8-16 to view the ADS
Power Supply. Refer to page 8-17 for a typical analog output wiring
diagram.
Use Profile (Version 3.4 or greater) to configure the two outputs
assign them to represent the following measurements or calculated
values:
 Ultrasonic Depth
 Pressure Depth
 Unidepth
 Velocity (Average Velocity)
 Flow Rate (Qcontinuity)
The most common use for analog outputs is to provide flow and
depth information to SCADA systems through Remote Terminal
Units (RTUs) or Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Other
possible uses are to drive chart recorders, totalizers, samplers, and
local displays.
