Introduction
The IETG Intrinsically-Safe FlowHawk ™ flow monitor (powered by
ADS ® ) measures open channel flow in sanitary sewers, storm
sewers, combined sewers, and other environments to assist
municipalities and other industry in addressing the following issues:
 Planning sewer systems (sizing and rehabilitation)
 Reducing infiltration and inflow (I/I)
 Monitoring combined sewer overflows (CSOs)
 Detecting and monitoring surcharges
 Managing inter-agency billing
 Monitoring sewage handling facilities (wastewater treatment
plants and pump stations)
The battery- or externally-powered FlowHawk monitor provides
exceptional accuracy and reliability in measuring open-channel flow
depth and velocity to determine flow rate (quantity) in pipes. This
flow data is the essential element required to successfully perform
investigative, analytical, and reporting activities.
This manual offers detailed instructions on installing, maintaining,
and troubleshooting the FlowHawk flow monitor, sensors, and
communication hardware.
