GENERAL 1. 1 The flow monitor shall be a new durable, self -contained, environmentally sealed unit designed to continuously and reliably measure wastewater flows at remote locations in a sanitary sewer. The monitor shall be designed for both permanent applications and temporary applications that involve the repeated removal and re- installation of the monitor. Once installed, the monitor shall reliably measure flow for as long as the monitor is activated for service. The monitor shall measure depth of flow and velocity in the same cross -section of a pipe. The monitor shall be capable of calculating flow rates using both the Continuity Equation and Manning's Equation. The flow monitor shall be capable of measuring flows in pipe sizes ranging from 6 inches to 108 inches in diameter. The flow monitor shall work properly when wastewater flow is within the pipe, under prolonged surcharged conditions, and when the monitor is submerged. 1. 2 The additional requirements of each monitor are identified below. Any ancillary items necessary to make the monitor fully functional shall be included as a requirement although such items may not be specifically called out in these specifications. 2. FLOW MONITOR 2. 1 The flow monitor shall be an open -channel flow module suitable for multi- site monitoring. An area/ velocity sensor shall be used to measure flow rate. A battery module shall provide power to operate the flow module. It shall be possible to stack and/ or interconnect multiple flow modules in the field for simultaneous monitoring of multiple flow streams and/ or for obtaining redundant measurements. The flow monitor shall be an Isco 2150 or equivalent. 2.2 The flow module shall be a field- interchangeable measurement and data storage system. It shall be possible to stack and interlock a flow module and battery module in the field to build a compact, integrated system. It shall also be possible to stack and interlock any combination of up to four area velocity and/ or ultrasonic flow modules and one or more battery modules in the field to monitor multiple flow streams at the same time and/ or to obtain redundant measurements. It shall also be possible to unsiack flow modules to use them at separate sites with separate battery modules. The flow module shall also be capable of being located up to 3, 300 feet from other flow modules, with all of the flow modules connected with a twisted pair cable for communication. Each flow module shall contain its own microprocessor, so that a failure in one flow module shall not affect the operation of any other stacked and/ or interconnected flow modules. 2.3 The flow module shall be capable of accepting up to two ( 2) flow rate conversions, each of which can be either a level -to -aura conversion or a level -to -flow rate conversion, allowing comparison of flow rates calculated using, for example, the Continuity Equation and Manoing' s Equation. The flow module shall be capable of calculating two ( 2) total flows, each of which shall be capable of being based on either flow rate conversion. Each total flow calculation shall accumulate either net, positive, or negative total flow with user -selectable resolution. 3. AREA VELOCITY MEASUREMENT Page 16 of 27  tuawdinb3 6uuopuoyy mold 120-[ L t911 : oCtq) luawnnoa p18 tZO- tt 911 auawgoelltl a a Yau 3. 1 Velocity shall be measured using Doppler ultrasonic or equivalent technology to a perform in accordance with the specifications below: 3. 1. 1 Minimum velocity range: - 5 to +20 feet / second 3. 1. 2 Minimum accuracy: ± 0. 1 feet / second for velocities of -5 to +5 feet / second ± 2% of reading for velocities 5 feet / second 3. 1. 3 Minimum depth requirement for velocity measurement shall not exceed 0. 1 feet. 3. 2 The area velocity sensor shall have a cable length of 20 feet or greater. The cable shall terminate in a push -on, quick connect connector so that the sensor can be easily removed and replaced in the field. 4. LEVEL MEASUREMENT 4. 1 Level shall be measured using Doppler ultrasonic technology or submerged differential linear integrated circuit pressure transducer. 4. 1. 1 Minimum level range: 0.03 feet to 10 feet 4. 1.
