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. 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. Align and insert the connector. The sensor release will
“click” when the sensor connector is fully seated.
3. Connect the two caps together.

2.3 Sensor Installation
The mounting location of the ultrasonic level sensor depends on
the type of primary measuring device (such as a weir or flume),
and on the method of level-to-flow conversion used. Refer to the
Isco Open Channel Flow Measurement Handbook included with
your Signature flow meter, or to instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the primary device, for detailed information
about locating the measuring point.
