2103 Modem Module
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 other 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 connec-
tions between modules, sensors, and communication cables lock
in place. The locking mechanisms strongly secure the compo-
nents and ensure a watertight seal.

Item No. Name Description
1 Communication Connector This port is used to connect the 2103 Modem to other modules
in a stack.
2 Connector Cap Insert into the communication connector when it is not in use to
protect the connector from moisture damage. When the connec-
tor is in use, store the connector cap in the cap holder.
3 Cap Holder Stores the connector cap when the communication connector is
in use.
4 Modem Cable Connector
(2103 only)
Used to connect the modem cable to the 2103 Modem Module.
(On the 2103Ci module, this side connector has a slightly differ-
ent appearance, and is used to connect the magnetic mount
antenna.)
5 Modem Cable Connector Cap Insert into the modem cable connector when the connector is
not in use to protect the connector from damage.
6 Latch Release Push in to unlock the module from a stack.
