Percent Loss Enter the percentage of the average daily
flow (ADF) below which you want the monitor to send out
an alarm.
Wet Recovery Select the time period following a wet
weather event during which you want the monitor to
refrain from alarm notification. 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.
Flow Readings to Average (applies only to Daily
Flow Pattern alarms) Select the number of consecutive
readings you want the monitor to average to prevent
isolated erroneous readings from accidentally triggering
false alarms. When the value entered for Readings to
Average is greater than 1, the monitor creates and stores
the new entity QMLI_AVG. Data for this entity is
retrieved and stored in the Profile database during data
collects.
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 (the global holiday file will be ignored).
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
