7-4 ADS FlowAlert Manual
Obtaining Diagnostic Codes from the Monitor
The FlowAlert monitor enables you to view diagnostic information
from the monitor instantly through an LED window, labeled
STATUS/DISPLAY, located on the monitor top. This information
represents specific codes corresponding to the wireless
communication signal strength (when applicable) and the monitor’s
battery voltage and IP address (when applicable). It is particularly
helpful during site investigation and system installation to ensure an
adequate and consistent signal strength, to test communications, and
to verify the monitor IP address.
Activate the diagnostic code sequence by disconnecting and
reconnecting the connector attached to the FLOATS/PRESSURE
port on the top of the monitor in less than one second. The code
will begin to display immediately. Therefore, make sure the LED
window is in clear view before initiating the code.
Note: Always verify that the LED window is blank before
attempting to activate the code.
Upon diagnostic code activation, interpret the diagnostic codes in
succession in the following way. The LED window displays only
one number/character at a time:
 “ads” indicates code initiation
 bbbbb is followed by the battery voltage to two decimal places
 rrrrr is followed by the wireless communication signal strength
(ranging from -51 to -112 dBs; 99 indicates no signal is
available)
 nnnnn is followed by the monitor IP address
Checking the Monitor Battery Pack Voltage
Check the battery voltage through the LED window on the monitor
or using Profile before installing the monitor. ADS also
recommends verifying the battery voltage after collecting data.
Replace the battery pack as soon as possible whenever the voltage
reads below 4.5 volts or Profile provides a Low battery status.
