ADS Environmental Services PrimeProbe2 - Manual (Page 2)

Flow Direction
Before completion of installation, confirm the direction of the flow of liquid in the pipe. Using
the nameplate as a reference, flow direction is positive when the flow direction is from – to +.
If the flow direction is reversed after installation, it is sufficient to reverse the sign of the KA
Factor (refer to operating manual “Programming the Converter”). However, it is preferable to
reverse the probe by rotating through 180 degrees.
Grounding the Probe
For accurate results, it is necessary that the probe and the liquid are both
at the same potential. To achieve this always connect the sensor to the
earth. On pipes with cathodic protection, please contact ADS for advice.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Fluctuating flow-rates are usually an indication of a poor earth connection, excessive vibration or electrical
noise on the pipe.
Switch-on and Off
When installation is complete the PrimeProbe2 must be switched ON to take it out of Sleep Mode, as described below. See
Operating Manual for further details.
1) Launch the PrimeWorks software. Connect the PrimeProbe2 to the software using the communications cable. In PrimeWorks
select the PrimeProbe2 - Wake up menu option. The software will initiate communications with the PrimeProbe2 to bring it out of
Sleep mode. The probe is now ready for use.
2) Upon completion of usage it is recommended that the probe is returned to Sleep Mode by selecting Primeprobe2 - Sleep in
PrimeWorks.
