1-2 ADS TRITON+ Manual Intrinsic Safety Intrinsic safety is an electronic hardware protection concept that ensures there are no conditions under which the equipment can operate that could cause a release of energy sufficient to ignite a hazardous gas or dust mixture. Devices that meet the low power, current-limited design criteria are deemed Intrinsically Safe (IS).
Introduction 1-3 The TRITON+ has also been certified for use in Zone 0 via testing to ATEX (Atmosphere Explosibles) standards. It is certified to ATEX standards in Europe and for use in all classified (hazardous) sanitary sewer and industrial hazardous areas. Many rest-of-world countries accept ATEX certification in lieu of their country-specific requirements.
1-4 ADS TRITON+ Manual Sensors The TRITON+ monitor supports several approved IS sensors that vary in measurement methodology, redundancy, and other features. The monitor is approved for accommodating up to two of the same or different types of IS sensors.
Introduction 1-5 Telemetry Wireless communication is available to the TRITON+ monitor through an antenna and internal UMTS/HSPA+/GSM modem. The antenna through which wireless communication occurs may be located either inside or outside the manhole; however, ADS recommends installing the antenna outside the manhole to maximize signal strength. Many antennas are available to mitigate signal strength issues.

2-1 CHAPTER 2 System Overview The ADS® TRITON+™ flow monitor supports three flow measurement devices for gathering flow data: Peak Combo Sensor This sensor, which mounts at or near the bottom of the pipe, contains an upward-looking ultrasonic depth sensor, Doppler peak velocity sensor, and pressure depth sensor.
2-2 ADS TRITON+ Manual TM The TRITON+ monitor and sensors are primarily designed for monitoring flow in sanitary and storm sewers. The monitor mounts to the manhole rim or wall slightly below the manhole cover or to a rung on the ladder; the sensors typically attach to a ring or band installed in the sewer pipe a short distance upstream from the manhole invert. The TRITON+ monitor can support up to two sensors at one or two separate locations in the pipe.
System Overview 2-3 and data acquisition) or other process control system through an RTU (remote terminal unit) or another comparable instrument. The XIO also serves as an analog and digital I/O (input/output) interface that can support non-ADS sensors, switches, and various third-party equipment. The ADS Qstart software applications enable the user to configure and communicate with the monitor for activation, data collection, and diagnostic purposes.
2-4 ADS TRITON+ Manual TRITON+ Flow Monitor The TRITON+ flow monitor is contained in a waterproof, airtight, cylindrical, high-impact ABS plastic canister housing. It contains a single processor board attached to the inside of the aluminum monitor top, a power regulator and cellular modem built into a protective dome, and a replaceable battery pack.
System Overview 2-5 dynamic IP address, the user cannot communicate directly with monitor over the wireless network. Note: If UTMS/HSPA+ is not available, the modem also offers 2G coverage with quad band GPRS and EDGE class 12. Direct Communication On-site (or direct) communication with all monitors is available through an IS USB serial interface (direct connect) cable (ADS p/n 8000-0337) for battery-powered units or through a standard A-to-B USB cable when using external power.

System Overview SIM card enclosure with plastic tie Note: Direct communication between the user and monitor requires a static SIM card. Dynamic SIM cards may only transfer data to an FTP site or an ADS Webbased software database. Communicating directly using a monitor with a dynamic SIM card requires the IS USB serial interface (direct connect) cable (ADS p/n 80000337).
2-10 ADS TRITON+ Manual Power Internal Power Power is supplied to the TRITON+ flow monitor by an internal 12volt 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. TRITON+ 12-volt battery The power regulator, built into the dome assembly that covers and protects the processor board, is critical to intrinsically safe operation.
System Overview 2-11 Power regulator dome with IS regulator board The user receives a warning when the internal 12-volt IS battery pack drops below a specified threshold (ADS recommends 7.5 volts).
2-12 ADS TRITON+ Manual ExPAC XBUS
System Overview 2-13 XIO External power requires a power source running 9 to 36 volts at 1.2 amperes of peak current. AC power must first come through a power supply for DC conversion prior to entering the ExPAC. ADS recommends using a 24-VDC module (ADS, p/n 508293). DC power can come directly from the power supply, a solar source, or rechargeable battery to the ExPAC.
2-14 ADS TRITON+ Manual Refer to Chapter 5, External Power, for more information on powering a TRITON+ through an external source.
System Overview 2-15 Sensors The TRITON+ flow monitor can support up to 2 of the 3 sensor types available (2 combination sensors and a stand-alone ultrasonic depth sensor) at one time to gather raw flow data. It also can support 2 of the same sensor type at one time. Using independent measurement techniques, ultrasonic and pressure depth sensors collect information used to determine the depth of the flow. Velocity sensors also use different methods to determine the average and peak velocity of the flow.
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.
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). Peak Velocity Sensor To obtain peak velocity, this sensor sends an ultrasonic signal at an angle up through the velocity layers in the oncoming flow.
2-18 ADS TRITON+ Manual Based on this information, the sensor determines the peak velocity of the oncoming flow. ADS’s analytical and data processing software calculates an average velocity from this peak by applying a user-defined average-to-peak ratio. Ultrasonic Depth Sensor The Ultrasonic Depth Sensor with a standard 30-foot (9.1-m) cable (ADS p/n 8K-CS5-D1-00-30) mounts at the crown of the pipe and measures ultrasonic depth.
System Overview 2-19 The ultrasonic depth sensor is located in the front, horizontal portion of the sensor and has two downward-facing ultrasonic crystals covered with a clear, moisture-shedding Teflon® coating. FLOW Ultrasonic depth sensor sending signals to flow surface to determine range Surface Combo Sensor The Surface Combo Sensor with a standard 30-foot (9.
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. Based on the elapsed time and the speed of sound, the monitor determines the range. The range represents the distance between the sensor face and flow surface.
System Overview 2-21 Surface Velocity Sensor This sensor measures the velocity of the flow also by bouncing signals off the flow surface using a method similar to the ultrasonic depth sensor, but the velocity signals are angled toward the oncoming flow surface. The surface velocity sensor crystals reside in the two descended portions toward the rear end of the sensor.
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. The Surface Combo Sensor offers three options for pressure measurement: 0 - 5 PSI (0 - 0.34 Bar), 0 - 15 PSI (0 - 1.
System Overview 2-23 I/O and Modbus Capability The TRITON+ supports several different inputs and outputs through the ADS XIO interface unit. The monitor facilitates Modbus communications through the ADS ExPAC or ADS XBUS. Inside of XIO showing I/O terminal block, power supply, and ExPAC Analog Inputs and Outputs The monitor can support up to two 4-20mA analog inputs and two 4-20mA analog outputs.
2-24 ADS TRITON+ Manual through the outputs at the same interval used when taking sensor readings. The analog inputs are designed to store specific data received from third-party instruments, such as sensors, every 15 seconds. Digital Inputs and Outputs The monitor can support up to two digital inputs and two digital outputs. The digital inputs receive pulses corresponding to switches that indicate the presence or absence of a particular condition, such as an alarm occurring through a third-party system.
3-1 CHAPTER 3 Sensor Installation and Connection The ADS® TRITON+™ flow monitor and sensors are primarily designed for monitoring flow in sanitary, storm, and combined sewers. The monitor mounts to the manhole rim or wall slightly below the manhole cover or to a rung in the manhole. A sewer system’s hydraulics are much more stable and uniform in the incoming pipe than in the manhole invert or outgoing pipe.
3-2 ADS TRITON+ Manual Install the Sensors in the Pipe This process primarily includes assembling the ring (for standard installations) or preparing the bands (for special installations) to which the sensors attach, mounting the sensors to the ring or bands, securing the sensor cables to the ring or band, and installing the ring or bands in the pipe.

3-4 ADS TRITON+ Manual Investigating Site Characteristics Before beginning installation activities, conduct a thorough investigation of hydraulic and site conditions. Flow Hydraulics The hydraulics of a site directly affect the monitor's ability to accurately measure flow depth and velocity.
Sensor Installation and Connection 3-5 Flow Traveling at Least One Foot Per Second Slower flows enable debris to settle in the pipe, limiting the accuracy of flow measurements. Higher Elevation than High Water Level that Occurs in Wet Well at Downstream Pump Station Pipes that are below the high water level of the pump station wet well could experience frequent backup and surcharging. This will increase sensor maintenance and possibly reduce data accuracy.
3-6 ADS TRITON+ Manual Pipe Shape Taking the appropriate measurements that precisely reflect the exact pipe shape is essential to obtaining accurate flow calculations. Therefore, irregularly-shaped pipes will require additional measurements. Refer to the Qstart online help for more information. Note: All relevant pipe dimensions and measurements are required for entry in the Qstart software during monitor configuration and activation.
Sensor Installation and Connection Installing the Sensors in the Pipe This section includes the procedures for performing sensor installations using one of the following methods: Standard Installations Special Installations Note: When installing a monitor with wireless communications, it is very important to test the TRITON+ with the SIM card installed to ensure the entire system functions and to verify network quality of service before installation.

The following procedures for monitor installation apply to most sites.
7-2 ADS TRITON+ Manual claims, or liability resulting directly or indirectly from the use of this installation guide or the installation of any ADS equipment.
Monitor Installation 7-3 Mounting the Monitor on Manhole Rung The simplest way to mount a monitor in a manhole is to attach it to a rung. TRITON+ monitors come with a standard hook (ADS p/n 8000-0021) for this purpose. Make sure the rungs are capable of holding the weight of the monitor and cables. The monitor weighs 30.3 pounds (13.7 kg) with added weight coming from the cables. The hook must be closed to prevent accidental dislodging from its support rung.
7-4 ADS TRITON+ Manual Mounting the Monitor to the Manhole Wall If the project will involve measuring flow over a long period of time, consider mounting the monitor permanently to the manhole wall. Using a monitor mounting bracket/flange (ADS p/n I400009), you can hang the monitor more securely and out of the way to allow use of the rungs. Mount the monitor handle to the manhole wall as follows: 1. Determine the appropriate location to mount the monitor handle to the manhole wall.
Monitor Installation 4. Twist a nut onto the anchor bolt, but do not tighten it down. Leave enough space between the nut and the wall for the thickness of the mounting bracket. 5. Mount the bottom of the bracket onto the monitor mounting flange with two M8 x 30-mm stainless steel bolts, two M8 stainless steel lock washers, and two M8 stainless steel flat washers (supplied with the TRITON+ when shipped).
