However, if additional adjustments are necessary, refer to
the detailed description of each parameter.
z
Electronic Offset
Enter the difference that exists between
the smart depth sensor readings and the manually measured
depth, when applicable.
The default value is 0.
Note: An electronic offset is rarely needed. An offset
greater than +/- 0.5 inches (13 mm) typically indicates that
the physical offset or pipe height has been measured or
recorded incorrectly.
z
Mode Select the mode in which you want the smart depth
sensor to operate based on environmental factors or site
constraints. The default setting is
Normal power. However, if
erratic Smart Depth readings occur, consider changing the
Power setting to High power.
z
Blanking
Select the distance from the horizontal face of the
ultrasonic depth sensor within which to ignore data potentially
representing erroneous readings. Select the
Auto option
( default ) to ensure the monitor disregards depths occurring
within a distance from the horizontal face of the sensor
equivalent to 5 percent of the range from the sensor face to the
bottom of the pipe. This option represents most pipe/flow
conditions; therefore, ADS strongly recommends leaving this
option selected for most applications.
Choose one of the other
options only when spikes in the data are occurring beyond 5
percent of this range and under direct consultation with an
ADS representative.
z
Store Data Select this checkbox to ensure the monitor logs
the smart depth data to memory. This option is selected by
default.
z
Advanced Select this button to access the Advanced
Parameters dialog.
