FlowShark IS System Description
The FlowShark IS unit is approved for use only with approved ADS
IS sensors, communication cables and telemetry equipment.
Connection of any non-approved devices could result in unsafe
operation and will immediately void the warranty and IS
certification.
Sensors
One of each type of IS sensor is approved for connection to the
FlowShark IS flow monitor. Following are the approved IS sensors:
IS Ultrasonic Depth Sensor (ADS p/n 106186A)
IS Pressure Depth Sensor (ADS p/n 3754-0001/0002/0003)
IS Doppler Velocity (ADS p/n 106194A)
Extension cables of up to 300 feet are available for these sensors.
Power
The FlowShark IS flow monitor can receive power from an internal
or external source:
Internal
The FlowShark IS flow monitor can receive power
from an internal 9-volt IS battery (ADS p/n 106152A) or 12-
volt IS battery (ADS p/n 8000-0043-01/02).
External
The FlowShark IS flow monitor can receive power
from an external source through an External Modem Unit
(EMU – ADS p/n 3800-0148EP). The externally-powered
EMU contains protection circuitry that limits the amount of
power that can reach the monitor. External power eliminates
the need for periodic battery pack replacement and disposal.
Warning:
Except as noted below, under no
circumstances can external power be applied directly to the
monitor. Any attempt to power the monitor without using
the EMU will void the warranty and possibly create an
unsafe operating condition in hazardous areas.
