Monitor Installation
After installing the sensors and establishing communications, install
the ADS

monitor in the manhole. The monitor may
mount inside the manhole by an aluminum mounting bracket
attached to the monitor and bolted to the manhole wall or rim. The
monitor also can mount directly to a manhole ladder rung by a rung
mount hanging bracket attached to the monitor. The following
procedures for monitor installation apply to most sites. However,
because manholes differ in many ways, some sites may require the
installer to implement slight modifications to the standard
installation technique.
Before installing the monitor at the site, activate the monitor to
verify that the monitor is configured correctly for the application
and that the battery pack (or external power) is operating at an
adequate voltage. Make any necessary changes to the configuration
before mounting the unit. Refer to Chapter 7, Maintenance and
Troubleshooting, for information on replacing the battery pack, if
necessary.
Warning: Using a battery-powered, wireless monitor
without connecting an antenna will significantly decrease
the life of the battery pack.
Note: Manhole and sewer system work involves confined
space entry and is inherently dangerous. Therefore,
installers and technicians must comply with all federal,
state, and municipal regulations concerning confined space
