Introduction 1-5

Only limited field repairs to the FlowShark IS are allowed; all

other repairs must be performed by an ADS authorized

technician. For information on allowable field repairs, refer to
Maintenance Restrictions

on page 1-7.

Installation and IS Considerations

When installing the FlowShark IS flow monitor, carefully follow all

local regulations for the installation of IS equipment. For example,

many cities only allow the use of IS-certified tools (flashlights,

radios, etc.) in manholes. Some cities will not allow the use of an

electric drill, battery- or AC-powered, in a manhole. In this case, air

(pneumatic) tools must be used. When in doubt as to the applicable

regulations, check with the collection system owner or the

corresponding safety representative.

Special Conditions for Safe Use

During the ATEX approval process, certain conditions are set forth

that must be observed when using the approved equipment. These

“Special Conditions for Safe Use” can be found in the body of each

ATEX Certification (included in this manual), as well as on a page

attached to the Declaration of Conformity. Following is a summary

of these Safe Use Instructions:

When internal battery power is in use, the ADS Model 5000-

IS1-01 or the ADS Model 5000-IS1-US-01 shall only use one

of the following ADS IS battery packs (p/n 106152 (9-volt) or

8000-0043-01/02 (12-volt)).

The ADS Model 5000-IS1 shall only be used in the hazardous

area when fully assembled. Conduct maintenance of internal

parts or battery changes only when the unit is located in a safe

area.
