A-1 APPENDIX A Events This appendix provides descriptions of the events configured as part of IntelliServe®. Please note that, based on your permissions, some users may not have access to all of the events available through IntelliServe. Alarm Acknowledged This event indicates that an alarm has been acknowledged. Auto Clear This event indicates that an alarm has been cleared automatically.
A-2 IntelliServe User’s Guide Flow Analysis) incorrect downstream network configuration, or inaccurate data from a monitor that may require further confirmations. IntelliServe initiates an alarm when Qnet readings are negative consecutively for one hour. Alarm conditions clear (return to normal) when IntelliServe receives Qnet readings of zero or higher consecutively for one hour.
Events A-3 Irregular Ultrasonic2 Sensor This event indicates possible problems with the second ultrasonic depth sensor, as evidenced by an inconsistency between current readings and historical data. Irregular Velocity Sensor This event indicates possible problems with the velocity sensor evidenced by an inconsistency between current readings and historical data.
A-4 IntelliServe User’s Guide Overflow – Dry Weather This event indicates that a dry weather overflow may be occurring (or has occurred) at the specified location. A High or High High alarm was received from the location, IntelliServe collected and evaluated the rain data collected from the rain gauges configured for the wet/dry overflow evaluation and determined that little or no rainfall occurred during the specified time period.
Events A-5 Ultrasonic2 Sensor Temperature This event indicates that the temperature sensor in the second ultrasonic depth sensor is producing invalid temperature readings. Temperatures are reading either extremely high or extremely low. Voltage – Critically Low Battery This event indicates that the battery voltage in an ADS Model 3600™ flow monitor or a Rain Alert monitor has exceeded the second threshold and ADS recommends replacing the battery. See also Voltage - Low Battery.

C-1 APPENDIX C Glossary The following table represents a glossary of terms applicable to IntelliServe®. Acknowledged Alarm An acknowledged alarm is an escalated event to which an operator has responded, but the alarm has not yet cleared. Alarm An alarm represents an escalated event. An alarm can exist in one of three states: alarming, acknowledged, or cleared. Alarm Basin An alarm basin is a user-configured map region containing multiple locations.
C-2 IntelliServe User’s Guide Connectivity Connectivity refers to the relationship of upstream to downstream flow in the network. Only the System Administrator has the permission to configure network connectivity. On the IntelliServe basin maps, connectivity is shown by a line with directional arrows. Cryout A cryout occurs when a flow monitor or rain gauge calls (unsolicited) into the IntelliServe system to report an event that is occurring at the location.
Glossary C-3 Event Events occur when measurements or data exceed specific thresholds or when special conditions are present or occur. Flow Monitor A flow monitor measures open-channel flow in sanitary sewers, storm sewers, and other environments using sensor devices installed in at a monitoring point in a pipe. One flow monitor can support up to two monitoring points.
C-4 IntelliServe User’s Guide Monitoring Point A monitoring point represents the physical location at which the sensors are installed in a sewer pipe to measure the flow, or where rain gauges are installed for measuring rain fall amounts. Monitor-Level Intelligence ® (MLI ) MLI represents the first level of signal processing to ensure data integrity. MLI scans readings within the flow monitor to determine signal sensitivity and then compares the readings to learned hydraulic patterns at the location.
Glossary Rain Gauge C-5 Rain gauges record the amount of rainfall that occurs over a specific rain event using a collection device called a tipping bucket. The tipping bucket contains a calibrated rainfall collection mechanism that tips once it receives a user-defined quantity of rainfall. The number of tips recorded throughout a given interval provides the total rainfall for the rain event. This data can be used in inflow and infiltration calculations and to measure rainfall intensity.
