CHAPTER 4 System Overview and Operation The FlowShark Pulse is a long-term monitoring system designed for flow measurement, flow control (Model 20 transmitters only), data storage, and (optional) remote access via TCP/IP communication. This device primarily is designed for use in slightly- to heavily-polluted flow of various compositions. It can function in partially-filled and full pipes of various shapes and dimensions.
4-2 ADS FlowShark Pulse O&M Manual Combination Sensor The FlowShark Pulse uses a combination (combi) sensor that can simultaneously determine both flow velocity and flow depth. A combi sensor may contain up to two 2 depth measurement devices: a water-ultrasonic device and/or a hydrostatic (pressure) device.
System Overview and Operation 4-3 Adding the sensor offset to the measured depth value (h1) determines the depth total (h). The sensor offset represents the distance from the bottom of the pipe to the sensor crystal position. The measured depth value represents the distance from the crystal to the flow surface. Pressure Depth Measurement The combi sensor may have an integrated hydrostatic depth measurement device.
4-4 ADS FlowShark Pulse O&M Manual particles may exit the measurement range before a subsequent measurement can occur; and new particles may enter into the measurement range. Fig. 4-3 Conditions at second signal detection The DSP checks both of the received reflection patterns for similarities using the cross-correlation method. All existing signal differences are rejected so that the two similar, but temporarily offset, signal patterns remain for velocity evaluation.
System Overview and Operation 4-5 Figure 4-6 Calculated 3-dimensional flow profile Flow rate can be calculated and displayed based on the flow velocity distribution, pipe shape and dimensions, and flow depth. It also is available for display or output to another device through either a free programmable analog signal or a pulse signal.
4-6 ADS FlowShark Pulse O&M Manual Air-Ultrasonic Depth Sensor An air-ultrasonic depth sensor uses horizontal sensor crystals to determine the distance (range) from the sensor to the flow surface based on the time difference between transmitting and receiving a pulse reflected off the flow surface (the transittime method). The flow depth is calculated by subtracting the range and the sensor offset from the pipe height.
System Overview and Operation 4-7 Pipe Insertion Sensor The pipe insertion sensor primarily is used to measure flow velocity in closed pipes that remain full, eliminating the need for a depth measurement device. When installed, the sensor mounts perpendicular to the pipe and extends from the outside of the pipe, through the pipe wall, and slightly into the flow. The pipe insertion sensor uses the same technology for measuring velocity as the velocity component of the combi sensor.
4-8 ADS FlowShark Pulse O&M Manual Device Versions The FlowShark Pulse transmitter and the supporting combi, pipe insertion, and airultrasonic sensors are available in different versions. The tables below provide a brief overview of the various options. Transmitter Transmitters vary primarily based on the power supply, Ex-protection, and enclosure construction. The article number posted on a label on the bottom of the enclosure identifies the device type.
System Overview and Operation 4-9 Sensors Several sensor models support the FlowShark Pulse. Individual models may vary based on Ex-protection, cable length, and unique construction. The item number identifying the sensor model is printed on the sensor where the cable enters the sensor body and on a nameplate at the end of the cable. A transparent tube on the end of the cable provides protection for the nameplate against weather conditions and abrasion.

Delivery, Maintenance, and Handling 5-3 Maintenance Because the measurement system primarily exists in a wastewater environment, it may be contaminated with hazardous germs. Therefore, please take special precautions when handling the transmitter, cables, sensors, and associated equipment. The FlowShark Pulse is extremely durable, is virtually maintenance-free, and does not require calibration.
5-4 ADS FlowShark Pulse O&M Manual To identify the zero point for the pressure measurement cell, consider measuring the current depth level with a yardstick, ruler, or similar tool without removing the sensor from the flow. However, keep in mind that this method can produce errors. Inserting the ruler (or yardstick) into the flow creates a surge that could lead to measurement errors based on the current flow velocity.
Delivery, Maintenance, and Handling 5-5 Handling This sections includes instructions and procedures for the FlowShark Pulse and sensors concerning storage, transport, and disposal.
CHAPTER 6 Installation Reading and following the installation instructions before initial start-up will help ensure success in flow measurement and device configuration. Do not initiate startup until installation is complete and verified. If any problems occur during installation, connection, or configuration, please contact an ADS representative. Installation should be performed only by qualified personnel according to all statutory standards, regulations, and technical rulings.

6-10 ADS FlowShark Pulse O&M Manual Sensor Installation When installing the sensors, use only non-corrosive fastening materials and fasten the sensors both securely and tightly. To avoid disturbances from electrical interference, do not locate sensor cables close (or parallel) to an engine (motor) or main power lines. Combi Sensor Fasten the sensor through the four holes on the front and reverse sides of the ground plate (Figure 6-12, detail Y).
Installation 6-11 bottom center of the pipe. Higher depth levels and/or flow velocities may produce erroneous measurements if the sensor is not installed properly. When using a combi sensor with water-ultrasonic and pressure measurement capability, environmental conditions, such as the Bernoulli effect, may produce erroneous measurements in the presence of high flow velocities and low depth levels.
6-12 ADS FlowShark Pulse O&M Manual 1 Pipe Bottom 2 Silicone or Similar 3 Sensor 4 Mounting Plate Figure 6-13 Suggestion for installing countersunk combi sensors Make sure the combi sensor is not covered with or deposited in filling material. This could result in signal attenuation or erroneous measurements. Run the sensor cable along the pipe bottom from the back of the sensor to the pipe wall.
Installation 6-13 Figure 6-15 Hints on cable layout (1 represents the protective cover) Do not bend the standard signal cable in more than a 3.94-inch (10-cm) radius. Bending it into a smaller radius could break the cable and, for certain sensors, produce kinks in the cable and create obstructions in the air compensation hose (resulting in erroneous depth measurements).
6-14 ADS FlowShark Pulse O&M Manual Make sure the horizontal part of the sensor is flush with the pipe wall once installed (Figure 6-16, far left). Figure 6-16 Proper pipe insertion sensor installation (left – represents a proper installation; center – represents a poor installation due to build-up; right – represents a poor installation due to faulty readings or sensor failure) Install the sensor so that the beveled side is facing upstream.

6-30 ADS FlowShark Pulse O&M Manual Regulator Mode General A FlowShark Pulse Model 20 is required for managing flow volume, which is controlled automatically by the transmitter. The FlowShark Pulse Model 10 has neither an external setpoint input nor the two digital outputs to drive the regulator slide valve or digital inputs required for slide valve administration.
Installation 6-31 Setting up the Measurement Location If possible, install the measurement device in front of the regulating unit. This setup may not acknowledge or consider the response time of the control system. However, it does prevent or minimize hydraulic disturbances from external vortices downstream of the regulating unit.
6-32 ADS FlowShark Pulse O&M Manual Figure 6-42 Setting up measurement to occur behind the slide valve Please note that extended run times delay feedback from measurement and control. Therefore, program the control to respond slowly. If maintaining a minimum distance is not possible, install flow calming elements, such as rebounding surfaces or returns. Custom design these installations according to the specific application and contact ADS for guidance.
Installation 6-33 Additional Information Concerning Control Systems Determine the distance between the flow velocity sensor and the corresponding control slide valve based on the default flow value, nominal diameter, and preliminary pressure. This distance should be at least 3 times the internal diameter of the pipe; however, a distance of up to 5 times the internal diameter is preferable, when possible. Flow velocities in the control distance should not fall below 0.
6-34 ADS FlowShark Pulse O&M Manual Connection Figure 6-44 Wiring diagram for controller operation Control Algorithm Selecting the regulator function automatically sets relay 4 to for the SLIDE VALVE CLOSED function and relay 5 for the SLIDE VALVE OPEN function. This default assignment cannot be modified. The digital inputs are programmable for providing position feedback.
Installation 6-35 The input current per digital input is 10 mA. When driving the slide valves via the digital inputs, always use all three messages. Activating only one message may destabilize regulator operation. The regulator can operate with an external or internal setpoint. When using external setpoints, always route them to analog input 4. When using a 4-20 mA signal as an external setpoint, monitor the signal for cable breaks and short circuits.

Parameter Settings 8-41 Figure 8-56 End switch assignment Figure 8-57 Possible functions P-Factor The P (proportionality) factor indicates the degree to which the regulating time will be affected when a deviation ∆ w from setpoint w occurs. The higher the proportionality factor, the longer the regulating time of the slide valve at the same control deviation. Figure 8-58 P-Factor setting Interval/cycle time Set the processing interval for the controller.
8-42 ADS FlowShark Pulse O&M Manual Shorter intervals will accelerate the control behavior; however, they will cause the control circuit to oscillate when longer run times exist between the regulating unit and measurement. A longer interval will decrease the tendency for the controller to oscillate; however, it will increase the inertia of the regulating system. Guideline: Interval = average flow velocity distance between regulating unit and measurement • 1.
Parameter Settings 8-43 Figure 8-61 Setting the minimum duration for the control impulse Slide valve run time/shifter time Use this parameter to monitor spindle breaks, slide valve gate breaks, gear defects, and power failures involving the regulating unit or other system malfunctions that may indicate that the regulating unit is not moving, even when the unit is generating control signals.
