the sensor devices in Qstart. In addition, two sensors of
the same type may not be assigned to the same monitoring

 COMM+ EXT PWR (Communication and External
Power) Port This port supports one of the following
communication, power, or sampling options at a time:
 Direct, on-site communications with the TRITON+
monitor through the Qstart software installed on a field
computer using a USB serial interface cable
 External power from an external source through an
ExPAC, XBUS, or XIO
 Flow proportional or level-based water quality sampling
through a third-party sampler
 ANTENNA Port This port receives the antenna supporting
wireless communications with the TRITON+ monitor.
The connector ports are keyed to receive only the proper sensor,
antenna, or communication cables.
The TRITON+ also has a SIM card enclosure (described in the
following section) that contains a removable SIM card for
communications. An air pressure valve also resides within this
enclosure that exists only for factory and maintenance testing.
SIM Card Enclosure
A dynamic or static SIM card is required for wireless
communications and is housed within the SIM card enclosure
affixed to the monitor top between the STATUS window and the
COMM + EXT PWR connector. A cam lock mechanism on top of
the SIM card enclosure provides access to the card as well as
secures the watertight seal to prevent moisture from contacting the
card and electronics.
