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).

TIENet®306 Sampler Interface
Section 2 Installation and Operation
2.1 Installation External TIENet devices such as the 306 are all connected to the
Signature Flow Meter in the same manner, usually using conduit
or cord-grip cable fittings. Multiple external TIENet devices can
be connected simultaneously.
2.1.1 Connecting to the Flow
Meter
Refer to your Signature Flow Meter manual for instructions on
accessing the instrument’s interior components.
WARNING
Before proceeding, ensure that the flow meter has been
disconnected from mains power.
Note
The steps that follow include instructions for installing cord-grip
fittings. Some applications will use user-supplied 3/4" ID con-
duit for cable routing.
1. Remove one of the 6-position plug-in terminal strip connec-
tors from the case board.
Figure 2-1 TIENet Device terminal strips
2. If using a cord-grip fitting, install the cable nut in the
appropriate opening on the bottom of the Signature enclo-
sure, securing it to the wall with the lock nut (concave side
facing wall).

TIENet®306 Sampler Interface
Section 2 Installation and Operation

3. Feed the TIENet device cable end through the sealing nut
and seal, and through the cable nut. Lightly tighten the
sealing nut, just enough to hold the cable in place while
installing the connector.
Figure 2-2 Installing cable with a cord-grip fitting
4. Attach the wire ends to the terminal strip as shown in
Figure 2-3, then press the terminal strip back down into its
socket on the case board, as shown in Figure 2-4, taking
care not to strain any wire connections. Gently tug each
wire when finished, to verify secure connection to the
screw terminals.
Note
The SHIELD wire is the bare drain emerging from the foil
shi eld a round th e YELLOW an d BROW N wir es . The
BRAID-DRAIN wire is the bare drain emerging from the sur-
rounding braided shield inside the cable jacket. It is not neces-
sary to prevent the two braids from coming into contact with
each other.

case board, as shown in Figure 2-5, taking care not to
strain any wire connections.
Figure 2-4 Attach wired terminal strip to case board socket
6. Gently tug the cable downward, to remove any slack within
the enclosure, taking care not to put any stress on the con-
nection.
7. Tighten the cord grip sealing nut.
CAUTION
If you are using conduit instead of the cord-grip fitting, the con-
duit must be sealed to prevent harmful gases and moisture

from entering the Signature enclosure. Failure to seal conduit
could reduce equipment life.
8. Close the front panel and fasten it shut with the two Phil-
lips screws.

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.

2.1.3 Connecting to the
Sampler
Connect the sealed end of the cable to the flow meter port of the
sampler.
Note
The sampler must have its own power source.
Figure 2-7 Connecting to the sampler
2.2 Configuring the
Interface
To configure the Signature flow meter for operation with a
sampler using the TIENet 306 device, press MENU ( ) to
access the top menu, and select Hardware Setup. For all TIENet
devices including the 306, select TIENet Setup (Smart Sensor).
2.2.1 Updating the Device
List
When the 306 is physically added to the system, select Perform
Scan so that the flow meter detects it. When the scan is complete,
the 306 appears in the list of connected devices, ready to be con-
figured with the steps shown in Figure 2-9 on the following page.
Note
From the Hardware Setup menu, “Configure” refers to defining
and selecting the parameters for each connected device.
2.2.2 Input Data from the
Sampler
The two parameters that appear for the 306 device are:
306 Sample Bottle –Sample event and Bottle number
306 Input Voltage –12VDC present on pin A from the sampler
connector (the sampler is powered separately from the Sig-
nature flow meter). NOTE - This measurement is only to
indicate whether or not a sampler is connected.
