ADS ForeSITE FS-UL-4G O&M Manual
Introduction and Overview
The FS-UL-4G Level Monitor is a specific variant of the ForeSITE™ monitor family, providing highly
reliable, direct-to-host non-contact level monitoring in a single package, aimed at water utilities,
municipalities, agriculture, tidal, food warning, and irrigation sectors.
The ForeSITE FS-UL is designed for direct mounting above a water source such as a dam, channel,
creek, basin, or tank. The ForeSITE FS-UL measures water level with +/- 0.04 inch (1mm) accuracy. It
provides non-contact measurement, ideal for situations where deployment of other level sensing
techniques is not possible.
Swift deployment is made possible thanks to the built-in front panel mounted ultrasonic level sensor,
a true single box design that requires no external sensing devices. Data is stored internally on non-
volatile flash memory with upstream communications provided using an internal cellular modem.
The cellular option provides support for 4G, permitting use on CAT-M1 and NB-IoT Networks.
Complete control is handed to the user to allow custom data reporting and wake-from-sleep regimes
to be configured to balance battery life against data logging and data reporting requirements.
Expected battery life may exceed five (5) years, depending on device configuration and reporting
regime.
Remote configuration and device management is supported via ADS® PRISM™ software application,
permitting device tuning and upgrades without requiring site visits.
The device is housed in a low-profile, robust ABS-plastic enclosure that is UV stabilised and IP68
rated, enabling direct outdoor installation, capable of withstanding brief submersion.
Each ForeSITE™ product is shipped with a battery, stainless steel mounting bracket, installation kit
and a default device configuration, permitting operation straight out of the box with minimal device
personalization effort required.
