  • Page 47: Power

    Internal Power Power is supplied to the TRITON+ flow monitor by an internal 12- volt IS battery pack (ADS p/n 8000-0043-02/04). The battery pack resides within the TRITON+ enclosure and powers monitor operations. A battery fuse board is attached to the battery pack to achieve intrinsic safety.

  • Page 52: Sensors

    Peak Combo Sensor The Peak Combo Sensor with a standard 35-foot (10.6-m) or 100- foot (30.5-m) cable (ADS p/n 8K-CS4-XX-35/1H) typically mounts at the bottom of the pipe and measures ultrasonic depth, pressure depth, and peak velocity using three independent sensors.
  • Page 53 2-16 ADS TRITON+ Manual Peak Combo Sensor Ultrasonic Depth Sensor To provide the depth of the flow, the sensor sends an ultrasonic signal upward that bounces off the water surface – air interface. The travel time from the sensor to the flow surface and back is converted to distance, which translates into the depth of the flow.
  • Page 54 System Overview 2-17 board and the value is sent to the monitor processor board. A vent tube on the back of the diaphragm equalizes for atmospheric pressure. Three versions of pressure transducers are available with this combo sensor: 0 - 5 PSI (0 - 0.34 Bar), 0 - 15 PSI (0 - 1.03 Bar), and 0 - 30 PSI (0 - 2.07 Bar).

  • Page 57 2-20 ADS TRITON+ Manual Surface Combo Sensor Ultrasonic Depth Sensor This sensor first transmits an ultrasonic signal downward from one of the crystals on the sensor face that bounces off the flow surface and returns to the other crystal. The monitor measures the travel time elapsed between transmission and reception of the reflected sound signal.
  • Page 58 The surface velocity sensor crystals reside in the two descended portions toward the rear end of the sensor. ADS does not recommend using this sensor for measuring velocity at locations with smooth flow surfaces or velocities of less than 1 foot per second (0.3 m/s).
  • Page 59 2-22 ADS TRITON+ Manual Surcharge Pressure Depth Sensor The surcharge pressure depth sensor in the Surface Combo Sensor measures pressure depth using the same technique as the other combo sensors, except from the top of the pipe. Since it can provide an accurate depth only when submerged, the data from this sensor is useful only under full-pipe or surcharge conditions.
