2.1.2 Connecting to
Signature Portable via
a TIENet Receptacle
The optional external TIENet devices compatible with the Sig-
nature Portable (and Signature) all scan into the hardware in the
same manner. A scan is required anytime a new TIENet device is
added.
Multiple TIENet devices can be connected simultaneously to the
same Signature Portable Flow Meter. The following TIENet
devices will attach to the TIENet receptacle:
• Ultrasonic Level Sensor
• Area Velocity Sensor
• 301 pH Interface
• LaserFlow
• 306 Sampler Interface
Connecting a TIENet plug
to the Signature Portable
To connect the TIENet plug from the sensor to the TIENet Recep-
tacle:
1. Align the connectors and push together (Figure 2-6).
2.
The sensor release will “click” when the sensor connector is
fully seated.
3. Connect the two caps together.
4. After the physical connection is made, a scan must be per-
formed for the device to be recognized.
For additional TIENet connections, use the TIENet Y-cable or
alternately an Expansion Box.
O-Ring and Lubrication
for the TIENet receptacle
1. Coat the O-ring’s sealing surface with a silicone lubricant.
CAUTION
Do not use petroleum-based lubricants. Petroleum-based
lubricants will cause the O-ring to swell and eventually deterio-
rate. Aerosol silicone lubricant sprays often use petro-
leum-based propellents. If you are using an aerosol spray,
allow a few minutes for the propellent to evaporate before pro-
ceeding.
2. The sensor release will “click” when the sensor connector is
fully seated.
3. Connect the two caps together.
