3-2 ADS Portable FlowShark Pulse Manual
Transmitter Installation
When selecting a mounting location for the transmitter, avoid locations exhibiting or
influenced by the following:
 Direct sunlight (use weatherproof cover, if necessary)
 Heat-emitting objects (maximum ambient temperature of 122°F (50°C))
 Objects generating strong electromagnetic fields (e.g., frequency converters or
electric motors that consume significant power)
 Corrosive chemicals or gas
 Mechanical shock
 Walkways or heavy traffic areas
 Vibration
 Radioactive emissions
The Portable FlowShark Pulse must be suspended in a shaft or manhole by the
carrying handle using suitable straps, ropes, or similar resources. An optional
suspension bracket also is available for special applications, such as mounting the unit
to a manhole ladder.
Do not suspend the unit by a sensor cable. This could break the
cable, produce leaky port connections, or cause the monitor to
become disengaged or possibly lost in the flow.
Before locking the enclosure lid, make sure the seal is clean and
intact. Remove any debris and/or dirt and lubricate the gasket with
silicone, when necessary. The warranty does not cover damages
due to leakage or defective seals.
When installing the unit in a flood shaft or channel, use suspension
gear, plastic or steel rope, a chain, or similar materials to secure
the transmitter to prevent it from accidentally washing away.
Connect the attached covers to the unused ports on the Portable
FlowShark Pulse before installation to provide a locked, watertight
seal. Damage to the unit that occurs due to exposed, unprotected
ports is not covered by the warranty.
Replacement covers for covers damaged due to excessive force are
available through ADS at the customer’s expense.
