2.9.2 Connecting External
Instruments
The BLZZRD is compatible with other Teledyne ISCO parameter
and flow measurement instruments, as well as SDI-12 sondes
from various manufacturers.
Rain Gauge Connector – Attach the rain gauge, SDI-12 Sonde,
or Refrigerator Temperature Sensor cable connector to the
nine-pin Rain Gauge port. When connecting a rain gauge and an
SDI-12 Sonde, or rain gauge and a Refrigerator Temperature
Sensor, use the appropriate ‘Y’ cable. For part numbers and
ordering information, see the Accessories appendix at the end of
this manual.
To operate with an SDI-12 sonde, the sampler must be placed in
Extended Programming mode, and SDI-12 Sonde Setup must be
selected from the Hardware Setup menu (refer to Section 5.16).
For complete SDI-12 sonde setup instructions, refer to Section 7.
Interrogator Connector – This connector is the primary port
for data collection and external sampler control.
Note
Connecting any device to this connector disables the second-
ary communication port
— the factory-installed dialout modem.
If you intend to use the optional dialout modem for data collec-
tion or instrument control, ensure that the interrogator port is
not used.
