monitoring point. The float switch hangs suspended in the middle

Typical FlowAlert system installation
Communication between the monitor and the user’s office or field
computer can occur over GPRS (remote, wireless communication),
a telephone line (remote, landline communication), or a direct
connection cable (on-site communication).
Special software called Profile ® enables the user to configure and
communicate with the monitor for activation, data collection, and
diagnostic purposes. Configuration involves defining the location
information file (LIF) for storage in the user's local directory and
building the code and variables for the site. The LIF contains
information such as pipe characteristics, monitor identification,
selected devices, alarm/event notification settings, data log rate, and
other parameters necessary for measuring and monitoring the flow
depth both accurately and efficiently.
