2-20 ADS FlowShark Manual
Inputs/Outputs
ADS FlowShark monitors support several different inputs and
outputs. One digital pulse counter input is available for connection
to a rain gauge tipping bucket, and two analog 4-20mA inputs are
available for connection to third-party process instruments. One
digital pulse output is available for driving a water quality sampler,
and two isolated analog 4-20mA outputs are available for sending
information to third-party systems. Output information is also
available via Modbus for retrieval by third-party systems.
Digital I/O
FlowShark models that support only one set of sensors (AG, AG-M,
AL, AS, CG, CG-1, CL, and CS) record pulses from a rain gauge
tipping bucket and/or send output pulses to a water quality sampler.
Monitors can be setup to trigger water quality samplers to take
samples at the monitor sample rate when flows exceed a user-
defined threshold based on level, velocity, or flow rate. Samplers
also can be triggered by the monitor based on designated flow
volumes (flow proportional sampling).
Refer to the Profile User's Guide (950015**) for more information
on configuring rain gauge inputs and sampler outputs.
Analog 4-20mA I/O
Several models of ADS FlowShark (CG, CG-1, CL, and CS)
monitors can monitor signals from other equipment via analog
inputs and send signals or information to other equipment via
analog outputs. The FlowShark monitor can support two 4-20mA
analog inputs and two 4-20mA analog outputs. Refer to Chapter 8,
Analog Input/Output Installation and Configuration, for more
information.
