ADS PrimeLog User Manual CHAPTER 1 Introduction PrimeLog® is a family of advanced submersible data loggers, designed specifically for applications in the water industry. Common applications include the following: District, residential, and leakage flow monitoring Network analysis Pressure monitoring PRV (pressure reducing valve) monitoring Open channel flow monitoring Reservoir and borehole depth measurement The different loggers offer one, two, or four data input channels.

ADS PrimeLog User Manual ADS No-Hassle Warranty and Return Policy The following sections detail the hassle-free warranty and return policy for the ADS PrimeLog. New Product Warranty ADS will repair or replace any PrimeLog equipment (supplied by ADS) that is defective in materials and/or workmanship for up to two (2) years following the date of shipment from ADS. To make a warranty claim, the customer should simply call ADS at (256) 430-3366 or contact the ADS Support Center toll-free at (877) 237-9585.
ADS PrimeLog User Manual Product Returns If the customer is not satisfied with the performance of the PrimeLog, the customer may return the equipment within 30 days for a full refund, provided the condition of the equipment is in the same condition as sold, except for expected or normal wear and tear for the period of use.
ADS PrimeLog User Manual CHAPTER 2 System Overview Note: This manual provides information on most standard features and applications; however, ADS cannot anticipate all possible configurations or applications involving the PrimeLog. Therefore, some information may not be included in this manual. Please contact the ADS Support Center at supportcenter@idexcorp.com or (877) 2379585 for assistance, when necessary.
ADS PrimeLog User Manual PrimeLog PrimeLog submersible data loggers are available with one to four input channels and various power options. An internal pressure transducer is available with all models. The tables in the Introduction outline the range of loggers and features available. This section offers additional information and details for the various logger types. All loggers are equipped with military-grade connectors and are sealed according to IP68 specifications.
ADS PrimeLog User Manual Auxiliary Battery Unit An auxiliary battery unit containing 6 C-size alkaline cells is available to supply additional power to digital sensors with heavy current demands. When selecting this kind of sensor for a logger (through the Logger Setup and the Digital tab options – refer to the PrimeLog Menu section of the ADS PrimeWorks User Manual), the user receives notification through a warning message of the requirement to use the battery unit.
ADS PrimeLog User Manual CHAPTER 3 Hardware Connections This chapter provides details concerning sealing, polarization, and inputs.
ADS PrimeLog User Manual Sealing The PrimeLog connectors are waterproof only when used with a mating connector, or when the captive sealing cap is connected. For continued full environmental protection, the sealing caps must be secured when the connector is not in use. Sensors supplied by ADS come with sealed mating connectors. Attach connectors using a bayonet (twist-and-click) action of the rotating shell. Connectors will not seal correctly if foreign matter is present between the mating surfaces.
ADS PrimeLog User Manual Polarization All PrimeLog connectors are polarized, making it impossible to connect a device to the wrong input.
ADS PrimeLog User Manual PrimeLog Input Connections The connectors on PrimeLog include logos for identification. The following sections describe the connections and show the corresponding logos. WARNING: Due to the operational requirements of depth transducers, never immerse the connector in or expose it to water. The vent tube from the transducer sensor terminates at the connector and must be open to the atmosphere to sense pressure in vented gauge mode.
ADS PrimeLog User Manual Analog Inputs The PrimeLog has two types of analog inputs: general purpose and dedicated integral pressure transducer. General analog inputs may be voltage or current. Voltage input range is nominally 0 - 21V DC. Voltages outside this range require a special cable; standard voltage ranges available are 0 - 5V and 0 10V. Current input requires a special cable suitable for 0 - 10mA, 0 - 20mA, and 4 20mA ranges.
ADS PrimeLog User Manual CHAPTER 4 Installation and Use Installing the logger primarily involves connecting the cables to the inputs. Sensors supplied by ADS come with the appropriate connector.
ADS PrimeLog User Manual Logger Setup Set up the logger by running the support software. Refer to the ADS PrimeWorks User Manual for more information.
ADS PrimeLog User Manual Logger Use Data may be downloaded through a local connection at any time without interrupting the recording of data. No special procedure is required when the logger is in use.
ADS PrimeLog User Manual CHAPTER 5 Interfacing This chapter provides information about interfacing the PrimeLog with various probes and sensors.
ADS PrimeLog User Manual Quadrina Insertion Meters Quadrina insertion meters are probes that are inserted, usually on a temporary basis, into mains supply pipes and measure velocity. The Quadrina Range ADS supplies these probes in two sizes, standard (Probeflo) and miniature (Miniprobe), and both are equipped for unidirectional or bi-directional flow. While two options of the insertion tube are available, eight hardware variations exist.
ADS PrimeLog User Manual velocities. A mean factor also is calculated from these values. While this factor offers convenience, it also introduces some level of error. Logger Configuration After selecting the Quadrina Insertion Probe option from the PrimeWorks flow meter menu, the following information must be provided: Probeflo (default) or Miniprobe Unidirectional (default) or bi-directional Standard (0.5-inch) or oversize (0.
ADS PrimeLog User Manual Other Flow Meters Interfacing the PrimeLog instruments with other flow meter sensors requires an adequate knowledge of the power requirements of these sensors. The following table specifies the power interface: Powering Standard Sensors Type 1 - Contact Closure Sensor Kent PSM/LRP/MSM/PU10 Power Source Data logger Kent Helix 4000 Reed Switch Meinecke/Socam K01/K505R/K510/RO2.
