information that can assist municipalities and other industries in
planning improvements and additions to sewer systems, improving the
accuracy of billing information, and providing overall management of
sewer systems.
The monitor and sensors are primarily designed for
monitoring flow in sanitary and storm sewers. The monitor mounts to
the manhole rim or wall slightly below the manhole cover or to a rung
on the ladder; the sensors attach to a ring or band installed in the sewer
pipe a short distance upstream of the manhole invert or to a mounting
bar installed below the manhole cover. The
monitor can
support up to two sensors at one or two separate locations in the pipe.
These sensors display exceptional durability and accuracy, even under
harsh and turbulent flow monitoring conditions.
Typical flow monitoring system installation
Communication between the monitor an d the user’s office or field
computer can occur over TCP/IP (remote, wireless communication) or a
USB serial interface cable (on-site communication).
The TRITON + is powered by a 12-volt IS battery pack or through
external power. Externally-powered units receive power from an
independent source through an intermediate ExPAC (external power
and communications unit), XBUS
™ , (external Modbus interface unit),
or an XIO ™ (external input/output) device.
