3-2 ADS FlowAlert Manual
Following are the basic steps for installing the FlowAlert monitor,
pressure depth sensor, and float switch at a location:
 Investigate the Site Characteristics These characteristics
include pipe size and shape, silt level, flow depth, and manhole
depth, environment, and obstructions.
 Install the Sensor The procedure varies based on the sensor
mounting location:
 In the Pipe This process primarily includes assembling
the ring (for standard installations) or preparing the band
(for special installations) to which the pressure depth
sensor attaches, securing the sensor cable to the ring or
band, and installing the ring or band in the pipe.
 In the Manhole/Wet Well This process primarily
involves attaching the pressure depth sensor to the
mounting strap and mounting the strap in the manhole/wet
well.
 Secure and Connect the Cable This procedure involves
securing the pressure depth sensor cable from the ring, band, or
strap to the monitor location in the manhole.
 Install the Float Switch in the Manhole This process
includes lowering the float switch to the proper elevation in the
manhole and then securing the float switch cable to the
appropriate location in the manhole.
 Connect the Sensor and Float to the Monitor This
involves connecting the pressure depth sensor and float
switch(es) to the FlowAlert monitor.
