2-2 ADS TRITON+ Manual

The TRITON+ 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 typically attach to a ring or band
installed in the sewer pipe a short distance upstream from the
manhole invert. The TRITON+ 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.

Communication between the monitor and 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.

The ExPAC and XBUS also serve as Modbus interfaces to provide
real-time data from the monitor to a SCADA (supervisory control
