    Wait at least 15 minutes from the receipt of the email before initializing the modem with the magnet. See Verifying Wireless Communication for details on initializing and verifying remote wireless communications.

Download and Install the Qstart xmLSoftware
The ECHO monitor requires the use of the ADS QstartxmLsoftware.
Download the QstartxmLsoftware and QstartxmLInstallation Guide from the ADS website at: https://www.adsenv.com/resources/. Install QstartxmLby following the instructions in the QstartxmLInstallation Guide.
Note: QstartxmLcan only be installed on a Microsoft Windows computer with a Windows 10 or higher operating system.

Download and Install the Bluetooth Driver
The ECHO monitor requires the use of Bluetooth communications for activation and is the recommended method of establishing initial communication with the monitor. Obtain the Bluetooth drivers and a Bluetooth dongle.
Download the Bluetooth driver from the ADS website at: https://www.adsenv.com/resources/.
Note: Download the “CP210x_Windows_Drivers.zip” zipped folder containing the Bluetooth driver installer and files onto the computer which will be used for the ECHO  communications.
Bluetooth communications require near proximity (roughly 8 feet or 2.5 m) to the monitor.

  1. Extract the downloaded Bluetooth driver files to a folder on the desktop. Run the “CP210xVCPInstaller_x64.exe” installer application for 64-bit systems and the “CP210xVCPInstaller_x86.exe” for 32-bit systems. To determine if the system is a 64-bit or 32-bit, open Windows Explorer. Right-click the Computer icon and select  Properties to view the system type.
  2. Insert the ADS-supplied Bluetooth dongle (P/N ADS 9000-0061) into a USB port. The first time the Bluetooth dongle is inserted, it may take several minutes for Windows to complete the driver update.

Configuration and Activation

The following sections detail the steps for configuring and activating the ECHO monitor and include:

  • Create and Configure the Monitor Location
  • Activate the Monitor

Perform these steps after performing the steps to the Initial Setup. Once this section is complete, proceed to Final Configuration and Verification.

Create and Configure the Monitor Location
This section includes instructions for creating a monitor location in QstartxmL as well as selecting and editing devices.

Edit the Time Zone Device

aDS ECHO Advanced Level Monitoring Solution - Figure 8 Time Zone device dialog

  • Time Zone – Select the time zone in which the selected ECHO monitor is located. Time Zone is a required device and must be configured before monitor activation.
  • Sync Time to Cellular Tower – When enabled, the monitor will sync its time with the time provided by the cellular network. Uncheck the box if this feature is not desired or  the cellular system does not support the synchronization.
  • Daylight Saving Rule – Uncheck the Enable checkbox to disable the Daylight Saving Rule, if Daylight Saving is not applicable to the region where the ECHO will be  installed. Note that the content of the text box is not editable.

Edit the Alarms Device

The Alarms device allows the user to enable/disable alarms and define alarm thresholds.

  • Unidepth Averaging – Select the number of consecutive UNIDEPTH readings for the monitor to average to minimize the potential for false alarms due to erroneous depth  readings. ECHO alarms are generated from UNIDEPTH rather than raw LRDEPTH readings.

  • Low Level – Define the depth at which the monitor will trigger a Low Level alarm. This event indicates that the flow depth measured at a location has fallen below this  threshold. This depth should be lower than the lowest depth that typically occurs at the location.

  • Full Pipe – This monitor event indicates that the flow depth in the manhole is greater than or equal to the pipe height.

  • High Level – Define the depth at which the monitor will trigger a High Level alarm.

  • High High – Define the depth at which the monitor will trigger a High High alarm. This value must be zero when this feature is not in use, or greater than the value  entered for the High Level alarm when it is in use.
    ADS recommends setting this value at least 2 inches higher than the value designated for High Level.

  • Overflow – This event indicates that the ECHO monitor’s internal pressure sensor has detected the site is experiencing overflow conditions, where the flow is above the manhole rim.

Edit the Data Delivery Device
By default the ECHO’s modem is in the Always Off mode to conserve battery power. Therefore, configure the Data Delivery device to upload data stored in the monitor  memory to ADS PRISM and/or an FTP server at an interval designated by the user. To upload data to PRISM and/or an FTP server, you must know the IP address or DNS of  the server. FTP servers also require the username and password the monitor must use to access the server, and when applicable, the name of the folder on the server in which the monitor is to place the data.

  • FlowView (PRISM)
    This section allows you to configure the monitor to deliver data and/or alarms to ADS’ web-based software: PRISM or FlowView.
    o Server –Enter the ADS FlowView server IP address of 13.82.147.226 (this same address is used for PRISM). This is where the monitor will deliver data.
    o Normal – Select the interval which you want the monitor to deliver data under normal conditions.
    o Fast – Select the increased interval which you want the monitor to deliver data under alarm conditions.
    This feature can also be set to Off.

    FTP server numeric IP address is 64.14.232.6. This FTP server is for internal ADS use only. Customers wishing to use the ADS FTP server should contact ADS Client  Services to see what arrangements can be made.
    o Folder (optional) – Enter the name of the folder on the FTP site in which the monitor will upload the data.
    Note: Qstart xmL will not create a folder on the FTP server automatically. Therefore, if it is desired that the monitor deliver data to a specific folder, create the folder through  the FTP server  manually before the monitor begins uploading data to the server. If a specific folder is not designated, the monitor will upload data to the FTP server’s root  directory.
    o Username – Enter the username the monitor must use to access the FTP server.
    o Password – Enter the password associated with the username the monitor must use to access the FTP server.
    o CSV Format – Select the option corresponding to the type and format of the data the monitor will upload to the FTP server.
    − ADS – Choose this option to deliver all of the entity data from the monitor to the designated FTP server.
    − GE – Choose this option to deliver the data in GE CSV format, which will group readings and their corresponding quality values in rows rather than displaying all stored  values in column format.
