5 1-1 C H A P T E R 1 Intrductin and Overview The Intrinsically Safe ADS ECHO is a cst-effective, easy-t-use, level mnitring system fr verflw preventin. It prvides cntinuus cllectin system mnitring, frm early warning f level increase, t surcharge detectin. Applicatins include: cmprehensive sewer perfrmance mnitring, early warning and ntificatin f sewer blckages and impending verflws, Cmbined Sewer Overflw (CSO) mnitring, Sanitary Sewer Overflw (SSO) mnitring, and sewer capacity studies. These capabilities are essential t prviding nging versight and ensuring timely ntificatin and rapid respnse in critical situatins. The battery-pwered, micrprcessr-based ECHO mnitr displays exceptinal accuracy and reliability in measuring flw depths up t 20 feet (6.1 m) frm the bttm f the reflectr. This manual ffers detailed instructins n installing and perating the ECHO mnitr, prviding (remte wireless and n-site Bluetth) cmmunicatin with the mnitr, and perfrming rutine maintenance and trubleshting n the system. It als includes detailed specificatins fr the system and a list f general, ptinal, and replacement parts assciated with the system.

6 1-2 ADS ECHO Manual System Cmpnent Overview ADS ECHO Mnitr ADS ECHO Mnitr The ECHO measures depth f flw using prven ADS ech ranging technlgy with advanced digital signal prcessing. A single, high-pwered transducer hused inside a tuned parablic reflectr reliably reads up t 20 feet (6.1 m) frm the bttm f the reflectr. The mnitr recrds data at a defined time interval based n system cnfiguratin. The mnitr can stre this data in memry and use the data t generate an alarm. The mnitr memry can stre apprximately 18 mnths f data lgged at a 5-minute sample rate. This data is available t the user fr cllectin, further prcessing, analysis, and reprting. The all-in-ne ECHO mnitr requires n separate sensrs r cables, and is designed t be munted near the tp f manhle frame.

7 Intrductin and Overview 1-3 Micrprcessr Unit (MPU) ECHO Mnitr Munted in Manhle The Micrprcessr Unit (MPU) is the surce f all mnitr activity and is respnsible fr all f the mnitr s high-level functins, including: Maintaining the mnitr time and date Measuring the wireless signal strength Perfrming pwer management Transmitting the stred and current data t the user s PC, ADS FlwView, a user s address, r an FTP Server Initiating event and alarm ntificatin The MPU allcates prtins f memry t firmware (permanently stred sftware) and data strage. Lightemitting dides (LEDs) indicate the mnitr cmmunicatins and peratinal activity. The MPU als includes the mnitr clck, randm access memry (RAM), and Flash memry. The mnitr uses RAM while taking readings and prcessing data. The RAM then dwnlads the data t Flash, r nn-vlatile memry, which als stres the mnitr firmware and cnfiguratin infrmatin. Flash ensures the mnitr maintains the data during battery pack replacement r pwer failure.

8 1-4 ADS ECHO Manual Cmmunicatin Elements The ECHO perfrms remte, wireless cmmunicatin ver the cellular netwrk using HSPA/HSPA+ (Evlved High-Speed Packet Access) thrugh the mdem in the mnitr. HSPA/HSPA+ facilitates highspeed, lw-cst, efficient TCP/IP cmmunicatin in areas with wireless cverage. Lcal cmmunicatin with the ECHO mnitr is available by Bluetth cnnectin and direct serial cnnectin (which requires pening the enclsure and shuld rarely be needed). Vltage Regulatr Battery The vltage regulatr regulates and distributes pwer frm the battery pack t the analg, cmmunicatins, and MPU cmpnents n the bard. The ECHO mnitr is pwered by an internal 9-vlt alkaline battery pack (ADS p/n ) munted inside the enclsure. This battery pack prvides the pwer fr perating the mnitr, handling cmmunicatin, and sustaining the mnitr wake-up circuitry. The mnitr measures the battery vltages and signals a warning when the available pwer is lw. The battery vltage is lgged and available n demand when perfrming diagnstics.

Cellular Mdem Infrmatin and Cmpliance Wireless telemetry is prvided via a third-party, FCC- and carrier-apprved, cmmercial UMTS/HSPA+/GSM mdem inside the ECHO and a crrespnding external antenna. Tw antenna ptins are available thrugh ADS. Hwever, custmers may btain their wn antennas t accmmdate specific needs r requirements. If a custmer-supplied antenna is preferable r required, cnsult an ADS representative prir t installing the antenna t ensure it will adequately supprt ECHO cmmunicatins and cmpliance. Intrinsic Safety Intrinsic Safety is an electrnic hardware prtectin cncept that ensures there are n cnditins under which the equipment can perate that wuld cause a release f energy sufficient t ignite a hazardus gas r dust mixture. Devices that meet the lw pwer, current-limited design criteria are deemed Intrinsically Safe (IS). Special design, testing, quality, and inspectin rules apply t manufacturers and users f IS equipment due t the critical nature f its deplyment in hazardus areas. Areas where hazardus cnditins can be expected t be present n a cnstant basis are classified (rated) as Zne 0 (equivalent t Class I, Divisin 1, Grups C & D, in Nrth America). The ECHO has been certified under ATEX Eurpean Intrinsic Safety standards fr Zne 0 rated hazardus areas. The ECHO has als been certified under IECEx (Internatinal Electrtechnical Cmmissin Explsin Prf) Intrinsic Safety standards fr use in Zne 0 (equivalent t Class I, Divisin 1, Grups C & D) rated hazardus areas. The ECHO mnitr has been CSA certified t CLASS C Prcess Cntrl Equipment Intrinsically Safe, Entity Fr Hazardus Lcatins Ex ia IIB T3 (152 C) Ga. Class I, Divisin 1, Grups C & D, T3 (152 C). It is the custmer s respnsibility t ensure that the certificatin(s) prvided fr the ADS equipment meets applicable regulatry requirements. ECHO System Certificatin Pwer The ECHO mnitr is certified fr use nly with apprved ADS battery packs and cmmunicatin cables. Cnnectin f any nn-apprved devices culd result in unsafe peratin and will immediately vid the warranty and IS certificatin. The sensrs hused in the ECHO mnitr are apprved IS sensrs. The ECHO is pwered by an internal 9-vlt battery pack (ADS p/n ).

Determine the apprpriate lcatin in the rad near the manhle t install the antenna. Lcate the antenna in the rad between 18 and 30 inches (457 and 762 mm) frm the manhle in which the mnitr is installed. Psitin the antenna as far as pssible frm the irn frame and buried flange t prevent interference with the signal. Avid lcatins at which cars will remain parked ver the antenna fr extended perids, as this will interfere with the signal strength. Select a lcatin that drains well s water will nt cllect ver the antenna, interfering with the signal. Chse a lcatin that is as flat as pssible, with a stable base material. Select a lcatin where the antenna will experience minimal direct impact frm rad traffic, where pssible. Make sure the lcatin exists beynd the manhle s irn rim beneath the rad surface. This will enable access t the manhle crbel when drilling the channel fr the antenna cable. Verify that n buried utility cables exist in the area in which drilling will ccur fr the antenna installatin. Cnsider cntacting an Undergrund Utility Lcating Service fr assistance. 2. Mark the lcatin fr the antenna installatin, and then mark the lcatin t drill the crbel hle 2.5 t 3 inches (64 t 76 mm) back frm the edge f the antenna hle. 3. Drill a hle frm the marked crbel hle lcatin in the rad, thrugh the crbel, and int the manhle using the ½ inch (13 mm) by 36 inch (914 mm) hammer drill bit. This will serve as the channel fr the antenna cable extending frm the antenna t the mnitr in the manhle. Be careful t avid any cables in the manhle, and restart the hle slightly t the right r left if mesh is encuntered r resistance ccurs. 4. Cut a 6 inch (152 mm) lng by 1.25 inch (32 mm) wide by 0.75 inch (19 mm) deep hle in the rad using the nn-rtating demlitin hammer (in the hammer nly mde) with the chisel/grinder.

One f the industry standard prtcls thrugh which this ccurs is Mdbus. The ADS ECHO mnitr can serve as a Mdbus slave device and prvides prcess values based n Mdbus hlding registers wirelessly thrugh the internal cellular mdem. This chapter cntains cnnectin and reference infrmatin regarding Mdbus wireless data exchange and Mdbus data registers.

61 5-2 ADS ECHO Manual Establishing a Mdbus Cnnectin The SCADA r prcess cntrl system cnnects t the ECHO thrugh a cellular wireless mdem in the mnitr using Mdbus TCP. Nte: The ECHO mnitr nly supprts Mdbus TCP/IP cnnectins. Setting Up a Wireless Cnnectin Establishing a wireless Mdbus cnnectin enables the ECHO t prvide the updated Mdbus registers t the SCADA r prcess cntrl system. Cnsider the fllwing when using a wireless cnnectin: Establishing wireless TCP/IP cmmunicatin may take several minutes. Therefre, cnsider this initial delay in cmmunicatin when setting up the hst prgram. Verify that the mnitr has been cnfigured fr Mdbus utput thrugh Qstart. Verify that the prcess cntrl system has the prper Mdbus slave ID, is cnfigured fr wireless TCP cmmunicatin, and has the crrect IP address fr the ECHO. Once bth systems are cnfigured and activated, verify that the prcess cntrl system is receiving the apprpriate Mdbus register values. Nte: If the ECHO is cnfigured fr Mdbus TCP/IP, it will nt be pssible t cmmunicate remtely with the mnitr unless the Mdbus plling system hangs up between pll attempts.

Replacing the SIM Card in the Mnitr The ECHO mnitr perfrms wireless cmmunicatins thrugh an internal mdem that is supprted by a replaceable SIM card lcated inside the mnitr enclsure in a hlder n the PCB. The SIM card typically requires replacement nly upn failure, which is rare, r when a change in a wireless carrier ccurs. The ECHO cmes with an AT&T SIM card pre-installed. If a SIM card nt supplied by ADS is t be used, the installed SIM card will need t be replaced. Certain static IPs may be used fr cmmunicating wirelessly thrugh the Qstart sftware platfrm r netwrks supprting ADS hsted system sftware. The service must supprt Mbile Terminated service as well as Mbile-Originated (fr alarm cry ut) functinality. Cmmunicatin with an ECHO requires entering the IP address fr the lcatin in the Qstart sftware. When using a static IP with a public IP address, the PC must have internet cnnectivity. When using a static IP with a private IP address, the PC first must establish a VPN cnnectin with the prvider. (Please cnsult ADS Client Services fr mre infrmatin n using private addresses.) Then, the user can cnnect t the mnitr thrugh Qstart, prvided the lcatin has been prperly cnfigured.

72 Maintenance and Trubleshting 6-9 Replacing the Fuse in the Mnitr The ECHO mnitr cntains a replaceable fuse in series with the main battery supply. If a main battery supply failure ccurs, it may invlve a bad fuse n the ECHO bard. The fuse is a special ATEX/IECEx apprved fuse (ADS p/n ) that may be replaced upn a pwer supply failure. The fuse must NOT be substituted with any ther type f fuse. Refer t the Trubleshting sectin beginning n page 6-16 t identify whether the fuse may be the surce f a particular prblem that has ccurred within the ECHO system. T determine if the fuse has failed, test it with a digital vltmeter set t measure Ohms. Cnnect the leads t the fuse. If the vltmeter reads the fuse as pen (if needed, cnsult the vltmeter s user manual fr hw this is displayed), it has failed. If the fuse prvides a resistance value, it is wrking. Since the fuse attaches t the bard n the inside f the mnitr, access t and replacement f a fuse first requires pening the mnitr. 1. Remve the mnitr frm the manhle. 2. Discnnect the antenna cable frm the prt n the back f the mnitr. 3. Remve the mnitr frm the hazardus area (i.e., at least 20 feet (6.1 m) away frm the manhle), and place in a dry lcatin. 4. Remve the six screws securing the mnitr tp t the battery canister using the special Allen wrench. 5. Wipe away any debris r misture that culd enter the chassis nce the unit is pen. 6. Remve the tp f the mnitr frm the bttm. 7. Ensure that the mnitr is nt awake (taking readings r cmmunicating) and discnnect the battery cable. The fuse will be next t where the battery cable cnnects t the PCB. Fuse Lcated n the ECHO PCB 8.
