2102 Wireless Communication Module

Section 1 Quick Start Guide

1.1 Getting Started This Quick Start Guide provides a basic introduction to the 2102

Wireless Communication Module.

In this section we discuss:

• Identifying key components of the Wireless Module

• Module connectors and caps

• System connections

The intent of this section is only to familiarize you with the basics.
Detailed information about the installation and operation of this
system can be found in the following sections and appendices:

• Section 2, Introduction

• Section 3, Preparation and Installation

• Section 4, Programming

• Section 5, Maintenance

• Appendix A, Replacement Parts

1.2.2 Communication Connectors

When a communication connector is not in use, the con­nector must always be capped (Figures 1-3 and 1-5). The cap

will seal the connector to prevent corrosion, prevent moisture
from entering the unit, and improve communications.

When a communication connector is in use, store the cap on the
holder next to the connector (Figures 1-4 and 1-6). 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.

Note

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

2102 Wireless Communication Module

Section 1 Quick Start Guide

1.3 System Connections Connections for the 2102 Wireless modules are described as a

base module and remote module. The base wireless module
allows a personal computer running Flowlink for Windows (v4.11
or later) to communicate with a remote site that is also using a
wireless module. Although base and remote modules function dif­ferently, they are identical. Designed to be “plug-and-play,” the
modules automatically configure themselves according to the
device they are connected to.

Typical system connections are shown in Figure 1-7.

1.3.1 Base Module Connections

1.3.2 Remote 2100 Site Connections

The base Wireless Module connects to the computer’s COM port
with a communication cable (Isco Part Number 60-2004-046 or
60-5314-849).

The base module will also require 12 VDC power. The application
will determine which of the three power options you select. For a
more permanent installation using a desktop PC, an AC to DC
power converter (60-2004-057) would the the most practical
choice. Mobile data collection from a vehicle would require the 12
VDC cigarette lighter adapter (60-2004-050). For applications
where an external power source is not available, use the Model
2191 Battery Module (60-2004-006).

To configure the 2100 site with a Wireless Communication
Module, simply attach the module to the stack. The Wireless
Communication Module will draw power from the Battery
Module. If battery life is a concern, a second Battery Module
should be added to the stack.

Make sure the 2150 Firmware version is 1.04 or higher. Prior to
version 1.04, the unit cycled every two minutes. To change this,
the unit must be reconfigured. This is done by holding down the
Shift key and connecting through the Quick Connect dialog.

1.3.3 Remote 4100/4200/6700 Site Connections

CAUTION

Reconfiguration will cause all settings and previously collected
data to be lost on the unit.

The 2102 may also be used with Teledyne Teledyne Isco’s 4100
series Flow Loggers, 4200 series Flow Meters, and 6700 series
Samplers.

Software versions for the 4200, 4100, and 6700 series instru­ments are:

4100 - 1.49 or higher

4200 - 2.21 or higher

6700 - 3.22 or higher
