2101 Field Wizard

Section 1 Introduction

1.1 Introduction This instruction manual is designed to help you gain a thorough

understanding of the operation of the 2101 Field Wizard.

Teledyne Isco recommends that you read this manual completely

before placing the equipment into service.

1.2 Product Description The 2101 Field Wizard is a portable data interrogation unit

designed to collect data from Isco’s 2100 Series flow modules,

which measure parameters of open channel flow streams. It then

transfers that data to Isco’s Flowlink 4 for Windows software.

The Field Wizard also serves as a local display and keypad for a

2100 Series site. The eight-line by forty-character graphics

display provides quick access to current readings and diagnostic

information, and allows for calibration of level measurements.

The Field Wizard stacks on top of a 2100 Series module, using

the same locking mechanism that connects the 2100 Series

modules to each other. Because modules have unique assigned

names, the Field Wizard can retrieve data from multiple modules

and can be easily moved from site to site.

The Field Wizard uses flash memory, which retains data without

the concern of power failures or aging backup batteries. The data

storage memory can hold up to fourteen days worth of data

recorded at fifteen minute intervals from twenty different

modules.

All enclosures are rated NEMA 4X, 6P and IP68. The perma-

nently 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.

Its rugged, compact design and simplicity of use make the Field

Wizard a convenient alternative to using a laptop computer for

displaying site data or transferring data from the 2100 Series

module to a personal computer.

1.3 Identifying Module

Components

Figures 1-2 through 1-3 identify the key components of the 2101

Field Wizard.

The Field Wizard is operated from the top panel, which contains

a keypad and liquid crystal display. The keypad, shown in Figure

1-1, includes 26 keys that are used to program and operate the

Field Wizard.

Figure 1-1 Field Wizard Keypad and Display

The keypad contains six software configured function keys (soft

keys) that are used to make selections and navigate through

menus. Their specific functions will depend upon what operation

you are performing, and will be shown in the display window.

The four arrow keys are used for navigation within menus and

displays. The Enter key is used to complete data entry,

acknowledge prompts, and signal the start of certain operations.

Numeric keys are active when numeric data is to be entered.

Press the Help key to obtain context sensitive help.

The Power key places the unit into an ultra low power state,

during which the display window will be blank.

The Escape key is not currently used. During some operations,

one of the function keys will serve as a Cancel key.

The unit is equipped with an audible beeper. The beeper

acknowledges key presses, and signals errors when incorrect

entries are made.

Figure 2-3 Flowlink Site Info Screen

Complete the following steps:

1. Click the Synchronize Instrument’s Time to Com-

puter’s button to synchronize the Field Wizard’s time to

that of your PC. (If you are using multiple PCs, select just

one PC to synchronize with.)

2. The Field Wizard is shipped with default site and module

names. Use the Site Name and Module Name fields if

you want to provide more descriptive names. Select Apply

(F9) to write that information to the instrument.

3. Although data has not yet been collected, you need to click

Retrieve Data (F8). This transfers a file containing site

interrogation times from Flowlink to the Field Wizard.

With this information, the Field Wizard will know when

data was last retrieved from your site(s). When brought to

a site, the Field Wizard will then retrieve only the neces-

sary data.

4. Select Disconnect to end your PC session and disconnect

the Field Wizard.

2.4 Connecting To a Site Once you have connected the Field Wizard to Flowlink and set up

the initial configuration, you can connect the Field Wizard to a

site and retrieve data.

The Field Wizard module connects to the top of a 2100 Series

stack, which may contain multiple modules. The steps shown in

Sections 2.4.1 - 2.4.3 illustrate how to operate latches and con-

nectors and connect the Field Wizard to the site.

2101 Field Wizard

Section 2 Preparation and Installation

2.4.1 Latches - Locking and

Unlocking

Latches must be operated to stack and unstack the modules in a

Series 2100 stack. The mechanisms are the same for the Field

Wizard and other 2100 Series modules. Take a moment to famil-

iarize yourself with operating the latches. The latch is operated

by pushing on one of the sides — the right side to unlock, and the

left side to lock.

CAUTION

The latch can be damaged by applying too much force. Never

press on both sides at the same time. Do not force the latch if it

is obstructed. While some degree of pressure must be applied

to slide the latch, the ends of the latches should never bend

more than 1/8".

L’attache peut-être endommagée en la forçant. Ne jamais

presser simultanément des deux côtés à la fois. Ne pas forcer

en cas de résistance. Ne jamais tordre les extrémités des

attaches de plus de 3 mm.

Figure 2-4 shows how to unlock the latch. You must unlock the

latch to place the module on top of a stack. Otherwise, the latch

is normally locked.

2.4.2 Communication

Connectors

Connecting the Field Wizard module involves uncapping and

capping communication connectors. When a communication con-

nector is not in use, the connector should always be capped

(Figures 2-6 and 2-8). The cap will seal the connector to prevent

corrosion, and will improve communications.

When a communication connector is in use, store the cap on the

holder next to the connector (Figures 2-7 and 2-9). The communi-

cation connector will be sealed by its mating connector.

CAUTION

Caps PUSH ON and PULL OFF. Do not rotate the caps to

remove them from the connectors.

2101 Field Wizard

Section 3 Operation

3.1 Introduction This section describes how to use a 2101 Field Wizard with Isco’s

Flowlink software, and how to operate the Field Wizard in the

field.

Note

The Field Wizard requires Flowlink 4.12 or later. Earlier ver-

sions do not support the Field Wizard. The Field Wizard also

requires that the 2100 Series modules it connects to have a

code version 1.06 or greater.

Flowlink Help Detailed Flowlink instructions are beyond the scope of this

manual. Flowlink’s operating instructions are available in a

Windows Help format. You can access the help topics for an

active window by clicking on its Help button or by pressing F1 on

your computer’s keyboard. You can also access Help topics by

selecting Help from the Flowlink menu.

3.2 Field Wizard Keypad The Field Wizard is operated from the top panel, which contains

a keypad and liquid crystal display.

The keypad, shown in Figure 3-1, includes 26 keys that are used

to operate the Field Wizard.

2101 Field Wizard

Section 3 Operation

3-2

Figure 3-1 Field Wizard Keypad and Display

The keypad contains six software configured function keys (soft

keys) that are used to make selections and navigate through

menus. Their specific functions will depend upon what operation

you are performing, and will be shown in the display window.

The four arrow keys are used for navigation. The Enter key is

used to complete data entry, acknowledge prompts, and signal

the start of certain operations. Numeric keys are active when

numeric data is to be entered.

The key with a question mark on it is the Help key. Press it to

obtain context sensitive help while using the Field Wizard. When

you are in Help mode, use the directional arrow keys to scroll

through the information displayed. Press the Help key again to

exit the Help mode.

The Power key places the unit into an ultra low power state,

during which the display window will be blank.

The Escape key is not currently used. During some operations,

one of the function keys will serve as a Cancel or Exit key.

The unit is equipped with an audible beeper. The beeper

acknowledges key presses, and signals errors when incorrect

entries are made.

Arrow key until you obtain the desired lighting level.

3.3 Flowlink Connection Before taking the Field Wizard to a site to collect data for the first

time, you need to configure it to your Flowlink software. This will

let you synchronize the Field Wizard’s date and time with that on

your personal computer (PC) and assign a module name to the

Field Wizard for identification. On subsequent connections,

Flowlink will recognize the Field Wizard from information stored

in its database.

The Field Wizard operates as an extension to Flowlink’s Master

Data Base on your PC, which synchronizes the measurement and

collection of data for all sites under its management. This cen-

tralized control insures that all measured data is collected from a

site, and that measurements are taken when expected.

Note

If you will be using the Field Wizard to transfer data to multiple

computers, you should designate one computer as the master

and connect the Field Wizard to it first. This will avoid problems

with synchronizing the date and time.

3.3.1 Connecting To a PC To connect the Field Wizard to a PC, you will need Isco’s commu-

nication cable P/N 60-2004-046 and AC Adapter P/N

60-2004-057.

One end of the AC adapter plugs into a grounded electrical

outlet, and the other end connects to the communications con-

nector on the underside of the Field Wizard.

One end of the communication cable connects to a serial port on

your PC, and the other end connects to the communication con-

nector on the right hand side of the Field Wizard.

Refer to Section 2.3 for more detailed instructions and diagrams

on how to make these connections.

As a default Flowlink setting, the Quick Connect dialog box

opens when you start Flowlink. (If it is not open, click the Quick

Connect icon or select File, Quick Connect.)

Click the large Field Wizard button to connect. Flowlink will

read the 2101 system information and try to match it with an

existing site in the open database. It will then display the Site

Info screen (Figure 3-2).

2101 Field Wizard

Section 3 Operation

3-4

Figure 3-2 Flowlink Site Info Screen

Complete the following steps:

1. Click the Synchronize Instrument’s Time to Com-

puter’s button to synchronize the Field Wizard’s time to

that of your PC. (If you are using multiple PCs, select just

one PC to synchronize with.) You will be notified that this

operation will set the time of the Field Wizard to match

that of the PC. Click OK.

2. The Field Wizard is shipped with default site and module

names. Use the Site Name and Module Name fields if

you want to provide more descriptive names. Select Apply

(F9) to write that information to the instrument.

3. Click Retrieve Data (F8) to retrieve the data from the

Field Wizard. For synchronization purposes, this should be

done even if this is the first time you are connecting the

Field Wizard to the PC. The process transfers a file con-

taining site interrogation times from Flowlink to the Field

Wizard. With this information, the Field Wizard will know

when data was last retrieved from your site(s). When

brought to a site, the Field Wizard will retrieve only the

necessary data.

The process will take some time. A gauge will be displayed

so you can monitor the progress. If needed, click Cancel to

cancel the data transfer. The data will be retained in the

Field Wizard.

Data that has been retrieved by the PC will remain in the

Field Wizard until it is connected to a site and begins col-

lecting new data. This allows you to copy data to multiple

PCs.

4. Select Disconnect to end your PC session and disconnect

the Field Wizard.

3.3.2 Communication

Resolution

During the connection process, Flowlink checks the stability of

the site’s communications. If communication is found to be

unstable, Flowlink presents the Communication Resolution

window.

There are two common causes of unstable communications. One

cause is a Module Name conflict, which may occur when two or

more modules at a site use the same module name. The second

cause is a Site Name conflict, which occurs when a module added

to the site indicates that it belongs to a different site.

The Communications Resolution window lets you choose how the

modules should be reconfigured and which Site Name should be

retained. To resolve the communications, select the sites and

modules that should be reconfigured and click the OK button. Be

aware that reconfiguring a module removes the Site Name,

Module Name, program settings, and any stored data. The

module is then restarted with the stable Site’s Name, a default

Module Name, and default program settings, and the data

storage is ready to accept new data.

3.3.3 Site and Module Name The Field Wizard is shipped with a default site and module name

so it can immediately begin to communicate with Flowlink. You

can change the names to something more descriptive using the

Site Name and Module Name fields on the Site Info tab in

Flowlink.

Keep in mind that the names must be unique among the other

site and module names in the open Flowlink database. Site

names can be up to 37 characters long. Any character may be

used in the name except:

/ forward slash \ back slash

: colon * asterisk

? question mark “ double-quote

< left angle bracket > right angle bracket

3.5 Site Time

Synchronization

The Field Wizard operates as an extension of the Master Data

Base computer, which is responsible for synchronizing the mea-

surement and collection of data for all sites under its man-

agement. This centralized control insures that all measured data

is collected from a site, and that measurements are taken when

expected.

When the Field Wizard is connected to a site, its date and time

will be checked with that of the site. If the Field Wizard detects a

time difference of more than one minute, the following screen

will be displayed:

Figure 3-4 Synchronize Time Display

Press F1 SYNC to synchronize the site’s time with that of the

Field Wizard and the Master Computer. The time will be syn-

chronized and you will be advanced to the Data Retrieval Mode

During data collection, the name of the module being interro-

gated will be displayed, along with a gauge so you can note the

progress (see Figure 3-7).

If there is more than one module active at the site, then the data

will be retrieved one module at a time. One module will be com-

pletely interrogated before data will be retrieved from any other

module.

3.6.2 Data Retrieval Log

Display

When you press F2 LOG from the Main Display, the window

shown in Figure 3-9 will be displayed.

Figure 3-9 Log Display

This display contains historical information on data that has

already been retrieved from the site and stored in the Field

Wizard. It also includes information about the status of the Field

Wizard’s storage memory.

The historical data is listed by site name, with the most recently

retrieved one listed first. The site name is followed by the time

and date the data was retrieved. An indication of the data’s han-

dling state is listed under the “Saved” header. When data is first

collected, it will have a state of “No.” After the data has been

transferred to the Master Database on the PC, the state will

change to “Yes.”

Once you have transferred a site’s data to the Master Database

in Flowlink, it is eligible to be purged, thus freeing up memory

space to collect more data. Note, however, that site data with a

handling state of “Yes” will not be purged until the Field Wizard

has been connected to a site and data retrieval has been ini-

tiated. This allows you to transfer site data to multiple PCs

before purging the data.

Section 4 Modbus Protocol

Sections 4.1 through 4.5 give an overview of the basic capabilities

and operation of Modbus protocol as it applies to Isco 2100 Series

flow modules.

For a Glossary of Terms and Common Acronyms, see sections 4.4

and 4.5.

For Modbus technical specifications, turn to section 4.6.

4.1 Introduction Modbus is a simple command/response mechanism to read from

and write to specific memory locations called registers. A register

is a holding place for a piece of digital information within the

equipment. There are three standard protocols for Modbus:

Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP/IP, and Modbus ASCII. The Isco 2100

Series devices use Modbus ASCII protocol, the method discussed

in this manual. Modbus ASCII has more flexible communication

timing requirements. Modbus communication for the Isco 2100

Series provides a standard protocol that can be used to retrieve

real-time data from a single module or stack of modules at a site,

or multiple sites, over a wide area. The data can be sent to a

central computer for display, data collection, or process control.

Modbus implementation is independent of Flowlink and cannot

alter the Flowlink-programmed configuration of the module.

Modbus cannot be used to retrieve historical data from a

module’s memory.

Due to the wide variety of configurations that can be made with

Modbus, it is impossible to cover every usable application. This

section will discuss the overall capabilities and operation of

Modbus.

4.2 Operation There are many standard, third party Modbus drivers and OPC

servers that may be used to link a remote Modbus device, such as

a 2100 Series module, to SCADA or process control software,

such as Wonderware™ or Intellution™. The OPC server commu-

nicates with the remote instrumentation and accesses registers.

The definition of what information is contained and where (the

register number, or address) is decided by the manufacturer

(Teledyne Isco).

In a 2100 module, the registers hold, but are not limited to, the

current real-time value of the meter’s level, velocity, flow, input

voltage, temperature, and total flow readings, stored in specified

register locations. A list of the 2100 register addresses, and what

parameters are held where, is available in section 4.6.

2101 Field Wizard

Section 4 Modbus Protocol

4-2

By accessing these registers you can obtain the current value of

whatever parameter you desire. The reading(s) can then be dis-

played or stored wherever you designate as a destination; for

example, a process control computer.

Note

Level, flow, velocity, and temperature data is stored in metric

units only.

Not all registers are limited to read-only data storage. You can

also use some registers for control purposes. For example, by

writing a “1” value to register 24 (“Identify Module” register), you

will tell a 2100 module to light the LED on the front of the

module.

4.2.1 Establishing

Communication

There are several different communications protocols supported

in the 2100 series that require auto-baud rate detection. Because

of this, each time a modbus connection is made, the module uses

a polling mechanism to repeatedly send a command until a

response is received. It may take up to 20 command retries

before the module has identified the baud rate and a response is

received.

4.2.2 Module Addressing When connecting to a site via a Modbus OPC server, you use a

dedicated line of communication to that module or stack from the

OPC server, which can be a dedicated communications cable

(direct connection) or a dedicated phone number (modem).

When you are using a direct connection, you are dedicating a

specified COM port on the computer, and that COM port deter-

mines the site to which you are connecting.

When you are using a modem, the dedicated line is defined by

the site's phone number.

If you connect more than one 2100 Series module at a site, the

Modbus OPC server, while using the shared communication line

for all of the modules within the network, must have some way to

differentiate between the modules. When sending a command to

a specific module, the command has an address field. This allows

the server software to talk to, as well as control, the specified

module, while ignoring other modules in the same stack or site.

Each module capable of Modbus Protocol communication will

automatically create its own specific ASCII address within the

site, using:

• The model numbers of the modules

• The user-defined module names

2101 Field Wizard

Section 4 Modbus Protocol

4-3

4.3 Configurations A variety of configurations can be made with Modbus, either

through direct connection or through a modem.

In the example shown in Figure 4-1, you are direct-connecting a

server PC to two individual 2150s through Modbus, using the

COM ports on the OPC Server, which are directly connected to

the remote 2150s.

Connection to the module is made through the RS-232 communi-

cation port on the top of the module.

Note

For low power operation, we recommend connecting the mod-

ule(s) to the computer using the straight-through cable (Isco

part number 60-5314-529), which consumes less power,

instead of our standard interrogation cable.

In Figure 4-1, the OPC Server PC must have two COM ports.

Modbus requires one COM port each, for direct connection of

each 2150.

Figure 4-1 Configuration Example (Direct Connection Shown)

The operation sequence for the example above can be summa-

rized in the following steps:

2150:

1. 2150s take readings from probes.

2. 2150s store readings (level, velocity, flow rate, etc.) in their

specified registers.

Process Control:

3. The user requests data through Process Control.

4. Process Control asks the OPC server to gather informa-

tion.

5. OPC connects to the 2150 stack through the cable (direct

connection), takes register data from the specified 2150,

and populates the OPC server's holding index.

6. Process Control takes data from the OPC server's holding

index and gives data to the user.

Note that Process Control can be either manual or automated in

this example, and that the OPC server and Process Control may

be located physically on the same computer.

4.4 Glossary of Terms ASCII – Short for American Standard Code for Information

Interchange, ASCII is a code that represents English characters

with numbers. Most computers represent text with ASCII code,

making it possible for one computer or device to share data with

another.

2100 modules support Modbus ASCII protocol.

Dedicated Line – A telecommunications path reserved for com-

munication between two specified points and not shared among

multiple points.

Modbus Protocol – Modbus Protocol is a messaging structure

used to establish master-slave/client server communications

between intelligent devices. Modbus is a simple

command/response mechanism to read from and write to reg-

isters.

OPC – OPC (OLE for Process Control) means open connectivity

via open (free for use) standards. It is a series of software stan-

dards specifications that fill a need in automation (like printer

drivers did for Windows), acting as a translator for data trans-

mission and process control.

The specification defines a standard set of objects, interfaces, and

methods for use in process control and manufacturing auto-

mation applications to facilitate interoperability. There are hun-

dreds of OPC Data Access servers and clients.

Registers – Registers are locations in memory that have specific

data stored for retrieval or are used for control functions. A reg-

ister is a holding place for a piece of digital information within

the equipment. The definition of what is contained and where

(the registry number, or address) is decided by the manufacturer

(in this case Teledyne Isco).

SCADA – SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition)

is a computer system for gathering and analyzing real-time data.

SCADA systems are used to monitor and control plant operation,

or equipment in industries such as telecommunications, water

and waste control, energy, oil and gas refining, and transpor-

tation.

The SCADA system transfers the information (for example,

where a leak has occurred in a pipeline), back to a central site,

alerting the home station of the leak, performing necessary

analysis and control (such as determining if the leak is critical),

and displaying the information in a logical and organized

manner.

2101 Field Wizard

SCADA systems can be relatively simple, such as one that mon-

itors the environmental conditions of a small office building, or

very complex, such as a system that monitors all the activity in a

nuclear power plant or a municipal water system.

4.6 Register Specifications All numbers in the Modbus registers are stored most significant

byte first. If the polling device has a byte ordering of least signif-

icant byte first (an Intel-based PC, for example), the bytes will

need to be reversed after they are received.

The Modbus ASCII address is used to index the data by modules.

Modbus ASCII address 1 contains information related to the site.

The first register contains a 16-bit integer count of the number of

modules that have data to report. The maximum number of

modules that can be supported is 4.

Modbus ASCII addresses 2 through the number of modules plus

1 contain data from the individual modules.

The Modbus ASCII addresses will be sorted by the model

number, and then by module name, which is entered by the user

through Flowlink. This allows the user to control the ordering of

the addresses and easily predict what data will be in specific reg-

isters.

Every measured parameter has a corresponding status and mea-

surement time that are updated with each measurement.

The maximum number of supported measurements from all

modules in the system is 28.

The Modbus registers are assigned within 30 seconds after the

2100 module is powered up. To conserve power for the users who

do not use Modbus communications, no Modbus registers will be

updated with sensor readings until a Modbus master communi-

cates with the 2100 module.

(1) A write to the Identify module register will cause the module to perform the identify operation which may be a steady

LED for a few seconds or a beep in the Field Wizard.

(2) Setting the Take Reading flag to 1 will cause the module to update the registers with current data readings. It will

be set to zero when the readings have all been updated. This may be used to initiate readings and poll for when

they are ready to be read. It may take up to 50 seconds to update all the readings, depending upon the flow con-

ditions. Setting the Take Reading flag to 2 causes an automatic, 15 second update of readings when a Modbus

master is polling the 2100.

(3) The Update Interval specifies an interval in seconds that the registers are automatically updated. It defaults to zero,

which indicates that no automatic updating will occur.

(4) The Active Flag (1-4) bit fields specify what fields/registers are active in the list. This provides support for a maxi-

mum of 64 fields. For example, if bit 0 of register 27 is set, the Level (registers 40,41) is active. If bit 1 of register

27 is set, then the Velocity (registers 55,56) is active. If bit 0 of register 28 is set, the Analog channel 7 (registers

265,266) is active.

(5)A non-zero status code indicates a measurement problem.

(6) Time is represented in a series of registers: Order is from lowest address to highest - Seconds (0-59), Minutes (0-59),

Hours (0-23), Days (1-31), Month (1-12) and Year (1977-2099).

Section 5 Maintenance

5.1 Maintenance

Overview

This section explains the maintenance requirements of the 2101

Field Wizard.

The Field Wizard is designed to perform reliably in adverse con-

ditions with a minimal amount of routine service requirements.

To keep your system working properly, you should check the des-

iccant and channel conditions at regular intervals.

Maintenance intervals are affected by many variables. Humidity

levels obviously affect the service life of the desiccant, and the

amount of debris in the stream can drastically alter the channel

conditions.

As a guide, for a basic system installed in an environment with

moderate humidity levels, the maintenance interval should not

exceed three months. A basic system is defined as:

• a single 2100 Series Module,

• powered by a fresh pair of alkaline lantern batteries,

• recording readings at the default intervals of 15

minutes.

Experience is often the best tool to use when establishing

minimum maintenance intervals for your system. Until you have

gained an understanding of the A-V Module’s operation under

differing environmental conditions, a weekly maintenance

interval is recommended.

5.1.1 Cleaning The Field Wizard case may be cleaned using a soft cloth and a

mild detergent. Do not use an abrasive cleanser, or you might

scratch the surface of the case. Be particularly careful when

cleaning the display screen; scratches will make it difficult to

read the display

Before cleaning, make sure that all the protective connector caps

are in place to avoid damage to any of the connectors. You should

also ensure that no water or cleanser enters the desiccant unit.

5.2 Maintenance Kit Some of the parts mentioned in the Maintenance section of this

manual are available in a maintenance kit.

Kit number 60-2009-001 contains O-rings for the connectors and

desiccant cartridge, a desiccant assembly, and a 1.5 pound con-

tainer of silica gel desiccant.

You can order the kit by calling Teledyne Isco’s Customer Service

Department.

5.3 Desiccant The Field Wizard uses desiccant to protect the internal compo-

nents from moisture damage. The cartridge is filled with indi-

cating silica gel that is blue or yellow when dry. As the desiccant

becomes saturated, the color changes from blue to pink, or from

yellow to green. Replace the desiccant before the entire length of

the cartridge turns pink or green.

5.3.1 Replacing the

Desiccant: 2101

The desiccant is contained in a cartridge located on the left side

of the Field Wizard. To remove the cartridge, unscrew the collar

and slide the cartridge out of the Field Wizard. The clear tube

reveals the silica gel desiccant inside.

To replace the silica gel desiccant:

1. Hold the cartridge upright with the collar at the top.

2. As shown in the margin, push the collar off the cartridge.

3. Empty the saturated silica gel beads or granules.

4. Fill the tube with new (Isco P/N 099-0011-03) or reacti-

vated (see section 4.3.2) silica gel desiccant.

5. Press the collar onto the tube.

6. Slide the cartridge into the Field Wizard. Tighten the col-

lar to seal the cartridge in place.

5.3.2 Reactivating the

Desiccant

Silica gel beads and granules of desiccant can be reactivated.

CAUTION

Desiccant may produce irritating fumes when heated. Observe

the following precautions:

• Use a vented oven in a well-ventilated room.

• Do not remain in the room while the regeneration is taking

place.

• Use the recommended temperature. Avoid heating the

desiccant at higher than recommended temperatures.

There have been reports of irritating fumes coming from the des-

iccant during reactivation. While our attempts to duplicate the

problem have been unsuccessful, we still urge you to use caution.

Material Safety Data Sheets are in the back of this manual.

The desiccant’s ability to remove moisture may lessen with each

saturation/reactivation cycle, resulting in a need for more fre-

quent service. After several cycles, the desiccant may no longer

be effective as it saturates too quickly. At this point, replace the

desiccant.

Silica gel To reactivate the silica gel desiccant, pour the spent desiccant

into a heat resistant container. Never heat the cartridge

assembly; it will melt. Heat the silica gel in a vented convection

Collar

Cartridge

2101 Field Wizard

Section 5 Maintenance

oven at 212° to 350°F (100° to 175°C) for two to three hours, or

until the blue or yellow color returns. Allow the desiccant to cool

and store it in an airtight container until ready for use.

5.4 Hydrophobic Filter If the Field Wizard module is submerged, a hydrophobic filter

prevents water from entering the desiccant cartridge. Any

amount of water will plug the filter and it must be replaced so

the case will be reliably ventilated. Ventilation is needed to

equalize pressure within the Field Wizard to prevent the keypad

label from warping.

To remove the hydrophobic filter, grasp the filter and pull it from

the desiccant cartridge collar. The filter is only held in place by

its friction fitting; rocking it back and forth while pulling may

help. Firmly press the replacement filter (Isco P/N 60-2005-003)

in place.

If the hydrophobic filter frequently requires replacement, you

should consider relocating the modules so that they are better

protected. Alternatively, replace the existing hydrophobic filter

with the reference extension accessory package included with

your unit. Follow the instructions above to remove and replace

the filter. Locate the other end of the tubing in a dry location and

secure it.

5.5 How to Obtain Service The internal components of the Field Wizard are not user-ser-

viceable. The case is completely sealed to protect the internal

components. To repair the unit, the case must be broken open

and replaced. If you think your module requires repair, contact

Teledyne Isco’s Technical Service Department.

Section 11 – Toxicological Information

This product and its components are not listed on the NTP or OSHA Carcinogen lists.

Animal Toxicology Tests for DOT Hazard classification

( Tests Conducted on finely ground silica gel)

1 - hour LC50 (rat) > 2 mg / l

48 - hour oral LD50 (rat) est. > 31,600 mg / kg

48 - hour dermal LD50 (rabbit) est. > 2,000 mg / kg

Considered an ocular irritant

Human Toxicology Silica gel is a synthetic amorphous silica not to be confused with crystalline silica.

Epidemiological studies indicate low potential for adverse health effects. In the activated form, silica gel

acts as a desiccant and can cause a drying irritation of the mucous membranes and skin in cases of severe

exposure. Multisorb Technologies Inc. knows of no medical conditions that are abnormally aggravated by

exposure to silica gel. The primary route of entry is inhalation of dust.
