2101 Field Wizard

Section 1 Introduction

1.1 Introduction This instruction manual is designed to help you gain a thorough

understanding of the operation of the 2101 Field Wizard.
Teledyne Isco recommends that you read this manual completely
before placing the equipment into service.

1.2 Product Description The 2101 Field Wizard is a portable data interrogation unit

designed to collect data from Isco’s 2100 Series flow modules,
which measure parameters of open channel flow streams. It then
transfers that data to Isco’s Flowlink 4 for Windows software.

The Field Wizard also serves as a local display and keypad for a
2100 Series site. The eight-line by forty-character graphics
display provides quick access to current readings and diagnostic
information, and allows for calibration of level measurements.

The Field Wizard stacks on top of a 2100 Series module, using
the same locking mechanism that connects the 2100 Series
modules to each other. Because modules have unique assigned
names, the Field Wizard can retrieve data from multiple modules
and can be easily moved from site to site.

The Field Wizard uses flash memory, which retains data without
the concern of power failures or aging backup batteries. The data
storage memory can hold up to fourteen days worth of data
recorded at fifteen minute intervals from twenty different
modules.

All enclosures are rated NEMA 4X, 6P and IP68. The perma­nently sealed enclosures are designed to meet the environmental
demands of many sewer flow monitoring applications. All connec­tions between modules, sensors, and communication cables "lock"
in place. The locking mechanisms strongly secure the compo­nents and ensure a watertight seal.

Its rugged, compact design and simplicity of use make the Field
Wizard a convenient alternative to using a laptop computer for
displaying site data or transferring data from the 2100 Series
module to a personal computer.

1.3 Identifying Module Components

Figures 1-2 through 1-3 identify the key components of the 2101
Field Wizard.

The Field Wizard is operated from the top panel, which contains
a keypad and liquid crystal display. The keypad, shown in Figure
1-1, includes 26 keys that are used to program and operate the
Field Wizard.

Arrow Keys

Figure 1-1 Field Wizard Keypad and Display

The keypad contains six software configured function keys (soft
keys) that are used to make selections and navigate through
menus. Their specific functions will depend upon what operation
you are performing, and will be shown in the display window.

The four arrow keys are used for navigation within menus and
displays. The Enter key is used to complete data entry,
acknowledge prompts, and signal the start of certain operations.
Numeric keys are active when numeric data is to be entered.
Press the Help key to obtain context sensitive help.

The Power key places the unit into an ultra low power state,
during which the display window will be blank.

The Escape key is not currently used. During some operations,
one of the function keys will serve as a Cancel key.

The unit is equipped with an audible beeper. The beeper
acknowledges key presses, and signals errors when incorrect
entries are made.

Section 2 Preparation and Installation

2.2 Safety

The 2100 Series components are often installed in confined
spaces. Some examples of confined spaces include manholes,
pipelines, digesters, and storage tanks. These spaces may become
hazardous environments that can prove fatal for those unpre­pared. These spaces are governed by OSHA 1910.146 and require
a permit before entering.

WARNING

Avoid hazardous practices! If you use these instruments in
any way not specified in this manual, the protection
provided by the instruments may be impaired; this will
increase your risk of injury.

WARNING

The installation and use of this product may subject you
to hazardous working conditions that can cause you
serious or fatal injuries. Take any necessary precautions
before entering a worksite. Install and operate this product
in accordance with all applicable safety and health
regulations, and local ordinances.

2.3 Connecting To Flowlink

Before you use your Field Wizard in the field to collect data, you
need to synchronize it to Isco’s Flowlink software on a personal
computer (PC).

Use the following instructions to connect to Flowlink for the first
time. More detailed information about transferring data to
Flowlink can be found in Section 3.3.

Use Isco’s communication cable P/N 60-2004-046 and AC
Adapter (P/N 60-2004-057) to connect the Field Wizard to a PC,
as shown in Figures 2-1 and 2-2.

Uncap the communication connector on the underside of the
Field Wizard, and store the connector cap in its holder. Then plug
the AC Adapter into the communication connector, as shown in
Figure 2-1. Plug the other end of the AC Adapter into a grounded
electrical outlet.

Uncap the communication connector on the right side of the Field
Wizard and attach the Communications Cable, as shown in
Figure 2-2. Connect the other end of the Communications Cable
to a serial COM port on the PC.

As a default Flowlink setting, the Quick Connect dialog box
opens when you start Flowlink. (If it is not open, click the Quick

Click the large Field Wizard button to connect. Flowlink will
read the 2101 system information and try to match it with an
existing site in the open database. It will then display the Site

Info tab of the Site Window (Figure 2-3).

Complete the following steps:

1. Click the Synchronize Instrument’s Time to Com-
puter’s button to synchronize the Field Wizard’s time to
that of your PC. (If you are using multiple PCs, select just
one PC to synchronize with.)

2. The Field Wizard is shipped with default site and module
names. Use the Site Name and Module Name fields if
you want to provide more descriptive names. Select Apply
(F9) to write that information to the instrument.

3. Although data has not yet been collected, you need to click
Retrieve Data (F8). This transfers a file containing site
interrogation times from Flowlink to the Field Wizard.
With this information, the Field Wizard will know when
data was last retrieved from your site(s). When brought to
a site, the Field Wizard will then retrieve only the neces­sary data.

4. Select Disconnect to end your PC session and disconnect
the Field Wizard.

2.4 Connecting To a Site Once you have connected the Field Wizard to Flowlink and set up

the initial configuration, you can connect the Field Wizard to a
site and retrieve data.

The Field Wizard module connects to the top of a 2100 Series
stack, which may contain multiple modules. The steps shown in
Sections 2.4.1 - 2.4.3 illustrate how to operate latches and con­nectors and connect the Field Wizard to the site.

2.4.1 Latches - Locking and Unlocking

Latches must be operated to stack and unstack the modules in a
Series 2100 stack. The mechanisms are the same for the Field
Wizard and other 2100 Series modules. Take a moment to famil­iarize yourself with operating the latches. The latch is operated
by pushing on one of the sides — the right side to unlock, and the
left side to lock.

CAUTION

The latch can be damaged by applying too much force. Never
press on both sides at the same time. Do not force the latch if it
is obstructed. While some degree of pressure must be applied
to slide the latch, the ends of the latches should never bend
more than

L’attache peut-être endommagée en la forçant. Ne jamais
presser simultanément des deux côtés à la fois. Ne pas forcer
en cas de résistance. Ne jamais tordre les extrémités des
attaches de plus de 3 mm.

Figure 2-4 shows how to unlock the latch. You must unlock the
latch to place the module on top of a stack. Otherwise, the latch
is normally locked.

Figure 2-5 shows how to lock the latch.

2.4.2 Communication Connectors

Figure 2-3:

2100 Series Module’s Upper
Connector - Capped

Connecting the Field Wizard module involves uncapping and
capping communication connectors. When a communication con­nector is not in use, the connector should always be capped
(Figures 2-6 and 2-8). The cap will seal the connector to prevent
corrosion, and will improve communications.

When a communication connector is in use, store the cap on the
holder next to the connector (Figures 2-7 and 2-9). The communi­cation connector will be sealed by its mating connector.

CAUTION

Caps PUSH ON and PULL OFF. Do not rotate the caps to
remove them from the connectors.

Capuchons POUSSER et TIRER. Ne pas tourner les
capuchons pour les enlever des prises.

Note

For modules to correctly stack and lock together, protective
caps between the modules must be stored on the holders.
