Wet Recovery Select the time period following a rain
event for which you want the monitor to refrain from alarm
notification during abnormal flow conditions. This
prevents false alarms from occurring by allowing flow
conditions to return to a dry weather state before the
system continues analyzing the flow for unusual patterns.
Holidays Select the Enabled checkbox to allow the
current monitor to use the holiday file (HOLIDAYS.DAT).
The holiday file is a user-customized list of dates
designated as holidays which, when enabled, helps prevent
the monitor from sending out false flow alarms. Holidays
typically produce substantially different flow conditions
than regular days. If the Holidays option is enabled, the
monitor will compare data produced on days designated as
holidays to a typical weekend day instead of a typical
weekday when investigating low flow conditions. Profile
will download the HOLIDAYS.DAT file to the monitor
during activation.
Create a global holiday file to be used by all locations in
the database, or customize a holiday file and save it to a
specific location (to ignore the global holiday file).
Note: The HOLIDAYS.DAT file can contain only a
limited number of holidays. Therefore, please verify the
holiday file is up to date on an annual basis. Add new
holidays as necessary and delete old holidays that have
already occurred to ensure the monitor uses the appropriate
holidays when comparing the data. In addition, reactivate
the monitor with the new or updated HOLIDAYS.DAT file
following any additions or changes.
Customize a holiday file in the following way:
− Select the View button to access the Holidays dialog.
