2.6 Pro20 Sensor
Installation
2.6.1 Pro20: Channel
Geometry
The Pro20 and Hot Tap sensors are connected to the control box
in the same manner, as described below. Following this are sec-
tions dedicated to the physical installation of both the Pro20 and
the Hot Tap.
For additional assistance with installing the sensor, contact our

The sensor cable is a multi-pair, multi-shielded cable designed
specifically for use with the ADFM. The standard cable length is
49.2 feet (15 meters), but other lengths are available upon
request.
Never allow the connectors to be exposed to moisture, foreign
matter, or physical shock. Failure to do so can result in perma-
nent damage to the system and may render it inoperable.
To connect the sensor cable, remove the blank cap from the
sensor port on the controller (see Figure 2-16, above). Insert the
cable connector into the port, rotating it until it stops with the
keyed portions aligned. Thread the cable's coupling ring onto the
port threads.
User-supplied cable conduit, if required, must have a minimum
inner diameter of 2 inches (to accommodate the cable con-
nector). If routing requires bending the cable, it must have a
minimum bend radius of 6 inches. The sensor cable should not
be spliced, and should remain intact from the sensor to the
control box.
Information about the sensor installation site, and pipe or
channel cross-sectional geometry must be measured and
recorded. You will need this information in order to select the
proper hardware and accessories, and to program the ADFM.
Accurate flow measurement is dependent upon exact dimen-
sional data.
After you have recorded all of the information about the instal-
lation site, enter it at the Channel screen of the software you will
use to program the ADFM. The Isco software programs available
for this are Flowlink and WinADFM. For basic software infor-
mation, refer to Sections 2.1 Software, 2.2 Flowlink Software,
and 2.3 WinADFM Software in this manual. For more complete
information, refer to the software user manual and Help files.
