location [location name] dialog for the selected monitor
location) once flow exceeds the user-defined depth
threshold. The log rate will return to the normal rate once
the flow depth falls below the designated threshold. For
this option, you also must enter the flow depth at which
you want the monitor to temporarily increase the log rate
to the fast rate in the Depth Threshold field.

Automatic Rain Detection (Flow) Choose this option
to temporarily increase the log rate to the fast rate (defined
in the Properties for location [location name] dialog for
the selected monitor location) if the flow rate reads 30
percent over the average daily flow for that particular time
of day. The log rate will return to the normal rate once the
flow rate falls below 15 percent over the average daily
flow.

Automatic Rain Detection (Depth) Choose this
option to temporarily increase the log rate to the fast rate
(defined in the Properties for location [location name]
dialog for the selected monitor location) if the flow reading
is 10 percent of the pipe height higher than the depth
reading logged the previous day at the same time. For
example, assume the pipe diameter is 20 inches (making
10 percent of the pipe height 2 inches), and today at 10:15
am the monitor reads a depth of 11 inches. If the depth
reading at 10:15 am yesterday was 8 inches, the log rate
would increase to the fast rate. The log rate will return to
the normal rate once the flow depth reads no more than 5
percent of the pipe height higher than the typical
(historical) depth reading logged at the same time on other
days.

Cross Check Combo Sensors Using this function allows

you to configure the monitor to log an event each time two
sensors assigned to the same monitoring point measuring the
same characteristic (i.e., flow depth or velocity) of the flow
return readings exhibiting a difference outside a designated
tolerance. The monitor calculates the differences using a
running average to minimize the possibility of anomalies that
may trigger false alarms. The monitor also will log an event
