Connector Plug Insert into the communication connector when not in use to protect the connector from moisture damage.
Actual battery life will vary depending upon configuration. The figure given assumes interrogation with Flowlink once a week, with a site configuration of a 2103, 2150, and 2191 (using Energizer 529 batteries) and a connection speed of 33600 baud. The 2150 was configured to record level, velocity, flow rate every 15 minutes, total flow, and battery voltage every 24 hours.

2103 Modem Module Section 2 Preparation and Installation 2.1 Unpacking When the system arrives, inspect the contents for any damage. If there is damage, contact the delivery company and Teledyne Isco Instructions (or its agent) immediately. WARNING If there is any evidence that any items may have been damaged in shipping, do not attempt to install the unit.
Latches must be operated to stack and unstack the modules in a Unlocking Series 2100 stack. The mechanisms are the same for the 2103 Modem and other 2100 Series modules. Detailed instructions with photos can be found in your 2150 instruction manual.
2100 Series networked modules. It will draw its power from the battery module located in the stack. To connect the 2103 with a 2100 Series module, refer to the fol- lowing instructions. 1. On the top of the 2100 Series module, remove the cap and stow it on the holder.
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) governs com- munications over telephone lines. Your local telephone company Connection (2103 will provide you with the line between the 2103 Modem and your only) computer. Contact them for connection information. The 2103 Modem Module is in compliance with FCC part 68 rules.
For information, contact the Teledyne Isco Customer Service Department at (866) 298-6174 or (402) 464-0231. 2.3.1 Modem Cable After you have installed the 2103 on the stack, you need to attach Connection the modem cable so the module can be connected to a phone line.
Section 2 Preparation and Installation For your reference, the modem cable uses a 5-pin amphenol socket, MS3106A-5S. Figure 2-3 2103 Modem Cable Connector 2.4 Antenna (2103Ci Only) The 2103Ci uses a magnetic mount antenna and Serial Over Internet Protocol (SOIP) communication to connect with other units.

2103 Modem Module Section 3 Modbus Protocol Sections 3.1 through 3.5 give an overview of the basic capabilities and operation of Modbus protocol as it applies to Isco 2100 Series flow modules. For a Glossary of Terms and Common Acronyms, see sections 3.4 and 3.5.
2103 Modem Module Section 3 Modbus Protocol By accessing these registers you can obtain the current value of whatever parameter you desire. The reading(s) can then be dis- played or stored wherever you designate as a destination; for example, a process control computer.
2103 Modem Module Section 3 Modbus Protocol 3.3 Configurations A variety of configurations can be made with Modbus, either through direct connection or through a modem. In the example shown in Figure 3-1, you are direct-connecting a server PC to two individual 2100 sites through Modbus, using the COM ports on the OPC Server, which are directly connected to the remote sites.
The definition of what is contained and where (the registry number, or address) is decided by the manufacturer (in this case Teledyne Isco). SCADA – SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) is a computer system for gathering and analyzing real-time data.
2103 Modem Module Section 3 Modbus Protocol SCADA systems can be relatively simple, such as one that mon- itors the environmental conditions of a small office building, or very complex, such as a system that monitors all the activity in a nuclear power plant or a municipal water system.

4.1.1 Cleaning The 2103 Module case may be cleaned using a soft cloth, warm water, and a mild detergent. Do not use an abrasive cleanser, or you might scratch the surface of the case.
The desiccant is contained in a cartridge located on the left side Desiccant of the 2103 Modem. To remove the cartridge, unscrew the collar and slide the cartridge out of the 2103 Modem. The clear tube reveals the silica gel desiccant inside. To replace the silica gel desiccant: Collar 1.
4.4 Hydrophobic Filter If the 2103 is in a humid location or submerged, a hydrophobic filter prevents water from entering the desiccant cartridge and reference line. Any amount of water will plug the filter and it must be rinsed with clean water and allowed to dry, or replaced so that the case can be reliably ventilated.
