Section 1 Introduction

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

understanding of the operation of the 2103 and 2103Ci Modem
Modules. Teledyne Isco recommends that you read this manual
completely before placing the equipment into service.

Information in this manual pertains to both the 2103 phone line
modem and the 2103Ci cellular modem. Where there are specific
differences between the modules, they are identified.

1.2 Product Description The 2103 Modem is a data communications unit designed to

transmit data from Isco’s 2100 Series flow modules, which
measure parameters of open channel flow streams. It works in
conjunction with Isco’s Flowlink software.

The 2103 Modem can be located anywhere within a stack of up to
three o ther 2100 Series networked modules, using the same
locking mechanism that connects the 2100 Series modules to
each other. The 2103 is compatible with Isco’s 2150 Area Velocity
flow module, 2110 Ultrasonic flow module, 2101 Field Wizard,
and 2102 wireless module. It is powered by Isco’s 2191 battery
module.

All enclosures are rated NEMA 4X, 6P(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.

2103 Modem Module

Section 2 Preparation and Installation

2.2.2 Communication
Connectors

Connecting the 2103 Modem module involves uncapping and
capping communication connectors. When a communication con­nector is not in use, the connector should always be capped. 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. The communication connector will
be sealed by its mating connector.

Detailed instructions and photos can be found in your 2150 or
2110 instruction manual.

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.

2.2.3 Stacking Modules The 2103 Modem Module can be located anywhere within a stack

of up to three 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 fol­lowing instructions.

1. On the top of the 2100 Series module, remove the cap and
stow it on the holder. This exposes the communication con­nector on the module.

2. Inspect the module’s communication connector. It should
be clean and dry. Damaged O-rings must be replaced.

3. Unlock the 2103’s latch by pressing in on the latch release
(right side).

4. Underneath the 2103, remove the cap from the lower com­munication connector and stow it in the holder.

5. Lock the latch. Locking the latch correctly seats and aligns
the lower cap in its holder.

2.3 Telephone Line
Connection (2103
only)

The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) governs com­munications over telephone lines. Your local telephone company
will provide you with the line between the 2103 Modem and your
computer. Contact them for connection information.

The 2103 Modem Module is in compliance with FCC part 68
rules. However:

Note

In tests conducted by the Communication Certification Labora­tory, the 2103 Modem did not pass conducted RF testing on
telephone line at 5 MHz, 3V RMS. For details, see international
standard EN 61000-4-6. In the event of this failure, the modem
may be subject to disconnection.

Accordingly, the FCC requires the following information
be published:

Note

The 2103 Modem is designed to be used on standard device
telephone lines. It connects to the telephone by means of a
standard jack called the USOC RJ-11C. Connection to tele­phone-company-provided coin service (central office imple­mented systems) is prohibited, and connection to party lines
service is subject to state tariffs.

Changes in Attestation Procedure for Plugs and Jacks

Teledyne Isco attests that the network interface plugs or jacks
used on this equipment comply with and will continue to com­ply with the mechanical requirements specified in Part 58,
sub-part F, specifically the dimensions, tolerances and metallic
plating requirements. The compliance of these connectors will
be assured by purchase specifications and incoming inspec­tion. Documentation of such specifications and/or inspections
will be provided to the FCC within 30 days of their request for
the same.

Telephone Company Procedures

The goal of the telephone company is to provide you with the

best ser vice it can. In order to do this, it may occasionally be
necessary for them to make changes in their equipment, oper­ations or procedures. If these changes might affect your ser­vice or the operation of your equipment, the telephone
company will give you notice, in writing, to allow you to make
any changes necessary to maintain uninterrupted service.

2-4

In certain circumstances, it may be necessar y for the tele­phone company to request information from you concerning
the equipment which you have connected to your telephone
line. Upon request of the telephone company, provide the FCC
registration number and the ringer equivalence number (REN);
both of these items are listed on the equipment label. The sum
of all the RENs on your telephone lines should be less than
five in order to assure proper service from the telephone com­pany.Insomecases,asumoffivemaynotbeusableona
given line. Consult your telephone provider.

2103 Modem Module

Section 2 Preparation and Installation

If Problems Arise: If any of your telephone equipment is not
operating properly, you should immediately remove it from your
telephone line, as it may cause harm to the telephone network.
If the telephone company notes a problem, they may temporar­ily discontinue service. When practical, they will notify you in
advance of this disconnection. If advance notice is not feasible,
you will be notified as soon as possible. When you are notified,
you will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and will
be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. Con­tact your local telephone service provider if you have any ques­tions about your phone line.

In the event repairs are needed on the 2103 Modem, they
should be performed by Teledyne Isco or its authorized repre­sentative. For information, contact the Teledyne Isco Customer
Service Department at [phone] or [phone].

2.3.1 Modem Cable
Connection

After you have installed the 2103 on the stack, you need to attach
the modem cable so the module can be connected to a phone line.

Remove the connector cap from the 5-pin circular modem cable
connector on the right hand side of the 2103. Attach the modem
cable to the connector (Figure 2-1), and then connect the other
end of the modem cable to a standard telephone jack (USOC
RJ-11C).

Figure 2-2 Connecting the Modem Cable

2.3.2 Connection Without
the Modem Cable

If desired, the 2103 can be connected to a standard telephone line
by attaching the telephone line cable to a connector that mates
with the 2103’s 5-pin circular modem cable connector (Figure
2-2). Be sure that you have a water tight seal on your wire con­nections.

2-5

2103 Modem Module
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. (The module is also capable of CSD communication, but
this service is being phased out. See Section 2.6.2 for complete
information.) Phone service with a static IP address, rather than
a land line, provides efficient communication.

Note

The 2103Ci only works in a CDMA cellular service area with

1xRTT. See your local CDMA service provider for availability.

As you face the unit, the 2103Ci antenna connector socket is
located on the right hand side of the module (Figure 2-4). Remove
the connector cap from the socket and attach it to the cap on the
end of the antenna cable. To connect the antenna, press down on
the silver metal latch on the side of the module and push the
antenna’s connector into the socket.

Section 2 Preparation and Installation

CAUTION

Only use this antenna with 2100 Series Ci cellular modem
modules. Do not use this antenna with non-Ci equipment.

Note

For the transmitter to comply with FCC Maximum Permissible
Exposure (MPE) regulations, the antenna must be located a
minimum of 30 centimeters (12 inches) from the human body.

Note

When any communication connector is not in use, it should

always be capped. The cap will seal the connector to prevent
corrosion, prevent moisture from entering the unit, and improve
communications.

2.5 Connecting to
Flowlink

Once the system is installed, you will configure it in a new or
existing site using Isco’s Flowlink software.

Note

The 2103 and 2103Ci Modems require Flowlink 5.10.412a or

later. Earlier versions do not support the modems.

The first time you connect to the site, you must connect your
computer directly to the stack using Isco’s RS232 connect cable
(part #60-2004-046) or USB port connect cable
(part #60-2004-507). Open Flowlink and go to the Connect screen
(Figure 2-5) by either selecting it from the pull down menu or
clicking on the Quick Connect icon.

Make sure the connection Type is Direct, and click on the 2100
Instrument icon to connect. Upon initial connection, Flowlink
creates a site file and adds it to the database. If the system
detects the addition of a new module to an existing site, it will
display the Site Resolution screen (Figure 2-6). Otherwise, it will
display the Site Info screen (Figure 2-7).
