2-2 ADS TRITON+ Manual
The TRITON+ monitor and sensors are primar ily designed for
monitoring flow in sanitary and storm sewers. The monitor mounts
to the manhole rim or wall slightly below the manhole c over or to a
rung on t he ladder; the sensors typically attach to a ring or band
installed in the sewer pipe a sho r t distance upstream from the
manhole invert. The TRITON+ monitor can support up to two
sensors at one or two separate loc a tions in the pipe. T he se sensors
display excep tional durability and accuracy, even under harsh and
turb ulent flow monitoring conditions.

Communication between the monitor and the user’s office or field
computer can o ccur over TCP/IP (remote, wireless communication)
or a USB serial interface cable (on-site communication).
The TRITON+ is powered by a 12-volt IS battery p ack or through
external power. Externally-powered units receive power from an
independent source through an intermediate ExPAC (external power
and c ommunicat ions unit), XBUS
™
, (external Modbus interface
unit), or an XIO
™
(external input/output) device.
The ExPAC and XBUS also serve as Modbus interfaces to provide
real-time data from the monitor to a SCADA (supervisory control
