• Do not use sites with low-velocity flows that create silt buildup in the invert or channel. Buildup of<br />
silt near the sensor can inhibit the Doppler signal <strong>and</strong> cause inaccurate sensor readings <strong>and</strong> depth<br />
measurements.<br />
• Do not use sites with deep rapid flows where sensor installation would be difficult or dangerous.<br />
• Do not use sites with high-velocity, low-depth flows. Splash-over <strong>and</strong> excessive turbulence around<br />
the sensor can cause inaccurate data.<br />
Strain relief for sensor cable<br />
Attach the desiccant hub to the instrument to give strain relief to the sensor cable <strong>and</strong> the cable<br />
connector. Refer to the figures for proper attachment.<br />
Figure 3 Proper strain relief<br />
Zero the sensor<br />
The sensor is calibrated at the factory <strong>and</strong> is compensated for temperature.<br />
The sensor must be zeroed during each installation <strong>and</strong> when moved from one flow meter or<br />
sampler to another.<br />
Zero the sensor for FL900 series flow meters<br />
To zero the sensor when used with FL900 series flow meters, open the Flo-Ware software. Follow<br />
the instructions in the Calibration Wizard for the <strong>AV9000</strong> <strong>Area</strong> <strong>Velocity</strong> Analyzer <strong>Sensor</strong>.<br />
Zero the sensor for Sigma samplers <strong>and</strong> flow meters<br />
1. If necessary, install the InSight software, version 5.7 or higher, <strong>and</strong> start the program.<br />
Note: Insight software can be downloaded from http://www.hachflow.com (search for InSight), or ordered on a<br />
compact disc from customer support.<br />
2. From the InSight menu, select Remote Programming.<br />
3. From the Real Time Operations list, select the level sensor.<br />
4. Remove the probe from the liquid <strong>and</strong> place the sensor flat on the tabletop or floor with the<br />
sensor (the plate with holes) face down.<br />
5. Press OK on the dialog box when complete.<br />
Note: The <strong>AV9000</strong> analyzer includes a sensitive radio-frequency receiver capable of detecting very small<br />
signals. When connected to the FL90x logger communications or auxiliary power ports, certain line-powered<br />
equipment may inject noise that interferes with Doppler velocity measurements. Interference with<br />
