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 dif-
ferently, 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
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).
1.3.2 Remote 2100 Site
Connections
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.
CAUTION
Reconfiguration will cause all settings and previously collected
data to be lost on the unit.
