• Blanking (auto) Select this checkbox to ensure the monitor
disregards depths that occur within a distance from the face of
the sensor equivalent to 5 percent of the range from the sensor
face to the bottom of the pipe. This (default) setting
effectively represents the vast majority of pipe and flow
conditions. Therefore, ADS strongly recommends leaving this
option selected for most applications! To use a different
blanking value, deselect this option and enter a value into the
Blanking (override) field.
• Blanking (override) Enable this field by deselecting the
Blanking (auto) checkbox. Enter the distance from the face
of the ultrasonic sensor within which to ignore data potentially
representing erroneous readings. Use this option in place of
the auto-blanking option to designate a distance greater than 5
percent of the distance from the sensor face to the bottom of
the pipe. Do not enter a distance shorter than 5 percent of this
range. ADS recommends using this option only when spikes
in the data are occurring beyond the 5 percent range and under
direct consultation with an ADS representative. For example,
entering a value of 2 inches into this field will cause all
ultrasonic ranges measured within 2 inches of the face of the
sensor to be ignored. ADS recommends using a value greater
than 0.50 inches.
• Pipe Height This field represents the height of the pipe at
the monitoring point at which the sensor is installed. This
parameter is not editable from this location.
