Figure 8-30 Example of an installation involving 2 depth sensors
Depth level measurement combinations 6-12 provide reliable readings under difficult
measurement conditions. These involve measurement locations that require more
than one sensor and experience surcharge conditions during rainfall events.
Please note that, when combined depth detection is in use among separate sensors,
the system employs only one method to measure flow quantity. Select the
appropriate method during configuration activities based on the flow depth. To
ensure reliable depth measurements, assess the general hydraulic conditions and
determine the most effective method for measurement at the location.
Enabling the memory mode and installing a memory card ensures all settings and
measurements are saved, providing access to the data for verification and
recalculation purposes at any time.
Determine the appropriate method for measuring depth during the preliminary stages
of project planning.
When choosing the method of measurement, connect a sensor to the
unit that is appropriately equipped for implementing that method.
While universal sensors have broad functionality, they may not be
adequate for acquiring the measurements required.
Mounting height
This parameter represents the height of the depth sensor above the pipe bottom. The
user cannot view or set the mounting height if sensor type 3 or 4 is selected.
This parameter is set to 0.394 inches (10 mm) by default. Do not modify this value
unless the sensor will be installed at a higher or lower elevation. When installing the
sensor higher (such as on a block), enter the total elevation of the 0.394 in (10 mm)
default value plus the additional height. When installing the sensor lower, enter the
