Changes the Modbus register Address of the TS210 to the send data Ex. FB, 10, 10, 00, 00, 01, 02, 00, 05, 0D, 36 Changes a TS210 at the universal Modbus address of 251 to a new address of 5. -
Page 13: Universal Address
Getting Started Universal Address The TS210 is programmed such that any sensor will respond to Modbus address 251. This is implemented for the event that the sensor’s current address is unknown. This address should only be queried with one sensor connected to the data line. If more than one sensor is connected, both will respond and a bad message is likely. -
Page 14: Pre-Deployment Check
Getting Started Pre-Deployment Check It is recommended that field deployments be carefully planned, and it is best to completely configure the system on a lab bench and test it for a period of time prior to taking it to the field. This will ensure a successful deployment and quality data collection. - Page 15 With the temperature string laid out on a flat surface, secure each TS210 to the sensor mooring line using TS-Clamp sensor mooring clamps.

Page 16: Connector Signals
Connector Signals TS210 sensors require four signals for operation: +5-16 VDC, Ground, RS485A and RS485B. The sensorBUS protocol used by TS210 strings can also carry 5VDC, SDI-12 and RS-232 signals, which are available for connecting other sensors along a sensor string. -
Page 17: Maintenance
Maintenance Maintenance There is very little maintenance required for TS210 temperature strings because they are designed for long-term deployments in submersible applications. Cleaning Any bio-fouling that accumulates on T-Node temperature strings during deployments should be cleaned using a soft cloth or soft- bristled brush along with soap and water. -
