Sensor Connection
Water-Ultrasonic Velocity/Combination Sensor, Air-Ultrasonic Depth
Sensor, and Electronic Box
Water-ultrasonic velocity/combination sensors, air-ultrasonic depth sensors, and
electronic boxes (EBM) are equipped with cable-end connectors for connection to the
corresponding ports on the Portable FlowShark Pulse transmitter. To connect a
sensor to the port, first unscrew the protective cover from the respective port on the
transmitter, insert the sensor connector into the port, and then tighten the connector
screw cap to ensure a secure connection. To prevent dirt from collecting in the
protective covers, screw the remaining covers from the sensor connectors and
transmitter ports together.
Protect the threads on the connectors and ports from dirt, sand,
and other debris, and clean the threads with a soft, lint-free cloth
prior to connection.
Sensors containing an integrated pressure measurement cell are equipped with a
special air filter element containing a dehydration agent (i.e., desiccant) attached to
the connector. This air filter is essential for adjusting the pressure cell based on the
current air pressure. The indicator in the desiccant should be blue under normal
conditions. Replace the desiccant immediately when the indicator turns clear or pink.
Contact ADS for replacement desiccant or spare filter elements.
Operating sensors with an integrated pressure measurement cell
with a filter element that is no longer able to absorb moisture may
result in irreversible damage to the sensor electronics.
If the potential exists for the filter to become submerged at the location, properly
install the air hose without any significant bends above the maximum flow depth.
