  • Page 4: Chapter 1 Introduction

    Chapter 1 Introduction About SONDAR 5000 Sondar 5000 is an instrument that can be used both as ultrasonic open channel flow meter and level gauge. The ultrasonic open channel flow meter measures the water level and calculates and displays accurate flow rate and total flow rate in a manner to measure the flow rate according to a flow/level calculation method, based on the principle that water level is specifically related to flow rate in the standardized open channel.

    Sensor Installation Min 30cm 10° Less than 2m In order to prevent malfunctions and assure accurate measurement, installation should be conducted under consideration of the following points. 1) There should be no disturbing objects within the range of 10°beam angle where the ultrasonic pulse moves.
  • Page 11 Weir Flow In the rectangular, triangular, and Cipolletti channels, the sensor should be installed at the top of the channel (Max. height x 4 ~ 5 times recommended). Parshall Flume 2/3 L Flow Flow In the Parshall Flume, the sensor should be installed at a 2/3 position of the whole converging section length.
  • Page 12 In the Leopold-Largco Flume, the sensor should be installed at a position distant from Converging Section (corresponding to the distance of measurement point according to Flumes size) Flume Size Measurement Point inches inches 100 ~ 4~12 Flickering of "DT" at the bottom of the screen at Operation Mode means detection of water level. Therefore, such flickering should be confirmed in the course of installation.

    Chapter 6 Maintenance Sondar 5000 does not require any special maintenance work. However, in areas where there are lots of floating matters or viscous sludge, the sensor's surface may be contaminated by them. Therefore, for accurate measurement, it is necessary to install a device to clean the sensor at appropriate interval.
