A-2 ADS 3600 Flow Monitor O&M Manual
General Features and Specifications
The following table contains information about general features and specifications of
the QS3600.
Functional
Description
The microprocessor-based flow monitor works with the central computer and ADS
software and provides flow rate measurement and reporting functions. Optional
functions include reading a rain gauge and sending signals to the optional sampler.
Physical
Description
The flow monitor is housed in a cylindrical water-proof aluminum enclosure.
The dimensions are 62.2 cm (24 in.) long by 16.8 cm (6.6 in.) in diameter.
The monitor weighs 19.5 kg (43 lb.).
The monitor is pressurized to ensure proper enclosure sealing.
The operating temperature ranges from 0 ° to 60° C.
Power
Requirements
and
Specifications
The monitor requires a replaceable 9 V battery, which should last up to one year
depending on the sampling interval and the number of sensors.
The backup 3 V lithium battery maintains the monitor memory if the battery pack fails.
Computer
Interface
Requirements
and
Specifications
IBM or IBM-compatible personal computer
ADS QuadraScan software
Telephone
Requirements
and
Specifications
Normal, voice-grade telephone lines are required for each site. One line is also required
for use by the central computer; one line is required by the monitor, and additional lines
are required for each event notification station.
Special Features The monitor’s interface with QuadraScan software is user-friendly and menu and
mouse-driven; this software allows maximum flexibility and integration with other ADS
flow monitoring systems.
Voice-grade telephone telemetry is used for monitor set-up, remote diagnostics, and
data collection.
The event notification option includes the set-up of remote event notification station(s)
for printed and audible reports of selected events. The text of the printed reports can be
defined.
Lightning and surge protection is provided for the telephone line
Low power CMOS (method for storing computer set-up information in non-volatile RAM)
processors and logic reduce power consumption.
The modular construction simplifies repair. The circuit boards are mounted with
standoffs for quick removal and replacement by ADS IS certified technicians.
