Typical Analog Output Installation

Most installations involve supplying loop power to the ADS
monitor and using analog outputs to represent flow rate and depth.
Typically, the monitor will be located in the manhole, with all
physical connections to the analog signal and external power wiring
occurring outside the manhole (inside a sealed junction box or
through a potted, spliced connection). A common installation
involves the following procedure:

1. Make sure the instrument receiving the analog signals is set up

to receive the signal wiring (e.g., box penetrations have been
completed, conduit has been run, and sealing glands are in
place).

2. Install FlowShark monitor and sensors as described in Chapters

3 through 7.

3. Establish the range and engineering units (4 to 20mA = 0 to X

units) for the analog outputs.

4. Edit the analog output card device supported by the FlowShark

monitor as follows using the Profile software, and select OK
when complete.
