TIENet®306 Sampler Interface
Section 1 Introduction
The TIENet Model 306 Sampler Interface connects the Sig-
nature®Flow Meter to a Teledyne ISCO wastewater sampler.
Through this connection, the Signature can enable the sampler
based on user-specified conditions, pace the sampling routine
based on flow, and receive sample and bottle information from
the sampler.
The 306 is available with a 10m, or 23m cable. For greater dis-
tances, external connection via conduit, and connection of addi-
tional TIENet devices, the TIENet Expansion Box is available.
Bulk TIENet cable may also be used for greater distances.

1.1 Operation The Signature flow meter uses a 5-Volt pulse output to signal a
connected Teledyne ISCO automatic sampler to collect flow
paced samples. Based on user-defined conditions, the flow meter
can signal the sampler to start (enable) or stop (disable). It also
receives signals from the sampler indicating when a sample is
collected (event mark), and into which bottle the sample is dis-
tributed (bottle number).
