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.
