Performing Confirmations

While the sensors supporting ADS monitors display exceptional
accuracy, ADS recommends confirming the sensors following
configuration and monitor activation. Confirmations involve using
Profile to compare depth, velocity, and weir measurements taken
manually by field technicians to measurements obtained electronically
by the sensors. This comparison helps to identify any discrepancies in
readings that can exist due to improper sensor installation or electronic
malfunctions. Profile enables you to modify the sensor offsets and
other parameters to compensate for slight inconsistencies in the data.

This section provides instructions on performing the following kinds of
confirmations through the Diagnostics tool:

• Ultrasonic Depth

• Peak Velocity and Depth

• Velocity Profile

• Flow Quantity using a Weir

Confirming the Ultrasonic Depth Sensor

Confirm the ultrasonic depth sensor in the following way:

Note: This feature does not apply to FlowShark monitors.

1. Select the Connect button to establish communication with the

monitor.

Profile initiates communication with the monitor and establishes a
connection. Choose the Abort button prior to establishing a
connection to abort the communication attempt.

2. Select the monitoring point in which the ultrasonic depth sensor is

installed from the Monitoring Point drop-down list.
