QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE
TOPSIDE RETRIEVAL SYSTEM
The Topside Retrieval System (TRS) is an alternative installation
method that enables maintenance teams to remove and reinstall the
ADS®ParaFlow™and ParaDePth™sensors from the street level. The
ParaFlow and ParaDePth sensors are compatible with the ADS TRITON+®
ow monitor. After the initial installation that requires manhole entry,
the Topside Retrieval System is used to complete routine maintenance
without descending into the manhole. The Topside Retrieval Tool
extends from 6 to 20 ft (1.8 to 6 m).

* Tools are listed in standard (SAE) sizes. Select equivalent metric (SI) tools as needed.
* All wedge anchors, nuts, and washers must be stainless steel.

1. Installing the Wall Mount Bracket
1.1 Determine on which wall, upstream
or downstream, to install the Wall Mount
Bracket.
1.2 Make a mark 1 inch (25.4 mm) above
the crown of the pipe and centered over
the manhole invert (the closer to the crown
of the pipe the better in manholes prone
to surcharging). The lower tab of the Wall
Mount Bracket will be placed here.
1.3-1.4 Drill a hole using a hammer drill
and a ⁄inch masonry bit. Hammer the
wedge anchor into place.
1.5 Place the lower tab of the Wall Mount
Bracket on the wedge anchor and nger-
tighten a washer and nut to loosely hold it
in place.
1.6 Use the level to conrm that the bracket
is level side to side.
1.7 Drill a hole through the upper tab using
a hammer drill and hammer the wedge
anchor into place. Place a washer and nut
on the wedge anchor and nger-tighten.
Follow the steps below to complete the Topside Retrieval System installation.
1.8 Re-conrm that the Wall Mount
Bracket is level both front to back and side
to side. Once conrmed, tighten nuts. The
installation of the Wall Mount Bracket is
now complete.
1.9 Installed ParaDePth/ParaFlow Wall
Mount Bracket.
NOTE: If the manhole wall surface is
inconsistent/uneven, run nuts, followed by
washers, onto the top and bottom wedge
anchors before placing the bracket on the
bolts. Adjust the nuts behind the bracket to
more easily level the bracket front to back.
2.1 Attach the ParaDePth/ParaFlow sensor
to the Sensor Bracket. Verify that the
sensor and bracket are properly oriented
for the position of the Wall Mount Bracket.
2.2-a Installation Option A (Recommended):
If the Wall Mount Bracket is installed on the
outgoing manhole with the sensor oriented
to face the incoming ow, slide the sensor
cable into the notch on the non-loop side of
the Sensor Bracket. Then, thread a cable tie
through the hole below the notch to secure
the cable to the bracket.
2.2-b Installation Option B: If the Wall
Mount Bracket is installed on the incoming
manhole wall with the sensor measuring
the incoming ow, slide the sensor cable
into the notch on the loop end of the Sensor
Bracket. Then, thread cable ties through all 5
holes along the edge of the Sensor Bracket
to secure the sensor cable to the bracket.

4. Sensor Cable
4.2 Coil any extra ParaDePth or ParaFlow cable and use a cable tie
to secure it to the manhole rung or monitor handle.
4.1 To prevent debris from collecting on the cable during a
surcharge event, ensure the cable is relatively taut and that there is
only a small amount of slack in the cable.
3.1 Once the sensor is positioned on the Wall Mount Bracket, measure the Physical Oset of the ParaDePth/ParaFlow sensor; the distance
between the face (bottom) of the sensor and the crown of the pipe. Measure this distance directly or indirectly. An indirect measurement
may be the easiest. To measure indirectly, measure the distance from the face of the sensor to the manhole invert below the front portion of
the sensor and subtract the pipe height from this measured distance. The resulting value is the Physical Oset and will be input as a negative
number when conguring the sensor in Qstart™XML.
Refer to the “TRITON+ Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual” Chapter 4 - Conguration and Activation for more information.

3. Measuring the Physical Oset of the Sensor Prior to Exiting the Manhole

Install the cable so it is secure but can move freely should the sensor need to be retrieved. It is best practice to remove as much slack as
possible with the sensor cable to prevent interference.

WARNING! When using the Retrieval Tool to either remove or
reinstall the sensor, be careful to avoid any overhead obstructions.
Be especially aware of any overhead power lines.
The pole extends from 6 ft (1.8 m) to 20 ft (6 m).
IMPORTANT! Manhole and sewer system work involves conned space entry and is inherently
dangerous. Installers and technicians should comply with all federal, state, and municipal
regulations concerning conned space entry.

5. Testing Removal and Reinstallation of Sensor Using Topside Retrieval Tool
5.1 Using the Topside Retrieval Tool,
unhook the cable from the hook mounted
on the manhole wall.
5.4 As a safeguard, when the sensor
is being raised out of the manhole,
simultaneously retrieve the sensor cable to
minimize the distance the sensor could fall
if it comes o the pole hook.
5.2 Run the Topside Retrieval Tool down the
manhole to the Sensor Bracket, extending
the pole as necessary.
5.5 To reinstall, make sure the Sensor
Bracket is securely looped on the pole
hook, lower the Sensor Bracket down the
manhole, and seat it on the Wall Mount
Bracket. Twist the Sensor Bracket loop
clockwise to lock the bracket back in place.
5.3 Position the hook through the loop
on the Sensor Bracket and turn counter-
clockwise, then slowly raise the sensor to
the top of the manhole.
5.6 Again, use caution when raising the
Topside Retrieval Tool after the sensor
reinstallation.
