w ith entry into conf ined spaces.
Definition of a confined space:
A conf ined space is any location or enclosure that presents or has the immediate potential to present one or
more of the f ollow ing conditions:

A n atmosphere w ith an oxygen concentration that is less than 19.5% or greater than 23.5% and/or


A n atmosphere that may be f lammable or explosive due to gases, vapors, mists, dusts or f ibers.

Toxic materials w hich upon contact or inhalation, could result in injury, impairment of health or
death.
Conf ined spaces are not designed f or human occupancy. They have restricted entry and contain know n or
potential hazards. Examples of conf ined spaces include manholes, stacks, pipes, vats, sw itch vaults, and
other similar locations.
Standard saf ety procedures must alw ays be f ollow ed prior to entry into conf ined spaces and/or locations

Product overview
The RTQ-1000 logger is used in open-channel f low monitoring studies such as inf low & inf iltration (I&I),
combined sew er overf low (CSO), capacity and planning and storm w ater runof f monitoring.
The RTQ-1000 is designed to be used in explosive hazardous areas zone 1. The unit communicates with
sensors through communication ports, records the sensor data in a non-volatile memory, and transmits this
data at preselected time intervals via GPRS wireless radio signal communication to the 123Flow server. A
®
removable rechargeable battery provides power supply of the RTQ-1000 and associated RA V EN-EY E or
Flo-Dar sensor. The sensors can be added or changed in the f ield. The data can be dow nloaded directly
through the 123Flow platf orm or through a USB cable to a laptop w ith RTQ-Log sof tw are installed.
The unit is portable and designed to be used in:

Sewer channels

Industrial conduits

Municipal Water and Waste Water channels

Site installation
3.7.1 Installation of the logger
The logger can hang from a cable or hook fixed in the wall in an area such as a manhole.
Figure 14: Hang the logger in a manhole
Important Note:
Install the logger in an environment that does not exeed the instrument
specifications: -10°C to 40°C, 15 – 90% r.H.
Install the logger vertically and make sure there is minimum 50 mm space
between the logger and walls or other equipment as shown in Figure 14.
Do not install the logger into the water. Make sure there is enough space
between the water and the logger.
Never hang the logger from the cable connector. Always use the suspension
locks delivered with the equipment.
1.
Secure the suspension lock to the wall of the manhole (use hooks, spanner bar, cable, etc.)
2.
Fix the logger to the suspension lock
Figure 15: Hang the logger with suspension lock

3.7.2 Antenna positioning
Note : A good antenna positioning allows good and fast data transmission quality and also
increases battery life.
After having installed the RTQ logger in the manhole, set a small data transmission interval (ex: 5 min) to
verify the GSM level. The transmission interval can be changed afterwards through 123Flow, refer to section
5.1.1.8 on page 28.
When the GSM level is too low, try to place the logger so that the antenna is close a hole of the manhole
cover. If the GSM level does not get better, other antenna mounting options are available.
Consider the following antenna mounting possibilities :
1.
Drill a hole from the manhole wall facing upwards and place the antenna into the hole.
Manhole cover
Antenna
Detritus chamber
Drillhole
Optional antenna
extension
Waste water pit
