 Preparation before using

Installation of this application software to your PC

In order to communicate with the sensor(s), you need to
set IP Address in your PC.
If PC has already been connected to the network,
remove it from the network.

 Installation of application software

The following is the installation procedure of the application
software.

(The procedure is for Windows XP.)

1. Start your PC and launch Windows.

Before this application software is installed, close all other
applications that are running. If not, the installation may be
affected from them.

2. Insert the CD with the CHINO application
software.

Setup Wizard should start automatically, if not, double-click
the setup program in the CD to start.

When the OS of your PC is Windows2000, Update
Rollup 1 for SP4 and Internet Explorer (IE) 5.01 or later
are required.

 LAN settings of thermal image sensor

When the sensor is used first time, the LAN setting of the
sensor is required.

1. Initialization of thermal image sensor

As received from factory, no initialization is required since all
settings have been initialized.
In case of an error, etc. at the LAN environment settings, the
set values can be reset to the default values as shipped from
factory by removing the mounting screw and then pushing
the reset switch.

Turn the power on while pushing the initial switch for 1
second continuously. Resetting to the default values
becomes effective (The violet monitor lamp flashes 2 times.)
By re-power-on, the set values are reset to the default
values at the shipment from factory. Usually do not push the
initial switch.

Remove the
screw.

Reset switch (behind the screw)

２. PC settings

According to the following procedure, you will need to
change the IP Address of your TCP/IP connection.

Start the PC.
Select [Control Panel] from Start in the menu.

The PC that you’re using now disconnected

from the network.

Take a note of the IP address, etc. and also
consult with your network administrator.

Select [Network Connections].

Select the icon of the LAN network connection (Local area
connection here) and right-click it to open a submenu. Select
Properties in the menu.

Select [Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in the list of [This
connection uses the following items.] of [General] tab and
click [Properties].

Check [Use the following IP address:] and set the IP address,
subnet mask and default gateway.

Assign an IP address not to conflict with other instruments.
Set the following, [IP address: 192.168.1.100, Subnet mask:

255.255.255.0, Default gateway: Blank] are set. By clocking
[OK], the IP settings are entered.

⑧ ⑨

HUB

Connect the custom power/alarm output cable and the

custom Network cable to the sensor.

Connect them to align the marks of [] back of the
sensor and [Arrow] on the cable connectors.

To avoid misconnections, the custom Netowrk cable is
designed not to connect to the power/alarm output
connector of the sensor. Similarly, the exclusive
power/alarm output cable cannot be connected to the
LAN connector of the sensor.

The connections are a quick-disconnect locking type.
Insert the plug until it clicks.
To unplug, hold the sliding part (that has the
[Arrow] marking on) and pull it outward.
If the “A” part is pulled, the plugs may be damaged.

Plug the connector of the custom Network cable to the
Ethernet port of a master unit (PC, etc.). And connect
the O-tip terminals of the custom power/alarm output
cable to the terminal block

Custom Network cable LAN connector

Make sure to connect the thermal image sensor to the
PC directly for LAN settings. When other instruments (in
cluding other thermal image sensors) are connected via
a hub, etc., remove them from the network to configure
so that one set of the thermal image sensor is only
connected to the PC on the network.

If the LAN settings are performed when multiple thermal
image sensors have been connected on the
not connecting
may not be configured correctly.

4.LAN settings of thermal image sensor

Start this application software.

A warning by security software may

appear at the initial startup. Set it
up to allow the communication via this
application software

Select [Sensor Setup]
→ [Network(Sensor)] in the menu.

The following screen will appear.
Enter information into the following set
ting items.

●Sensor number
A Numbers to be assigned to each
sensor
Enter the numbers from 1 to 4.
When one sensor is only used, enter 1.
When multiple sensors are used, assign
the numbers from 1 to 4 not to overlap
each other.

●IP address
IP addresses to be allocated to sensors. Assign a unique IP
Address to the sensor(s) not to conflict with other
instruments.

●Subnet mask
Data to specify the address of network from the IP address.
Enter an arbitrary subnet mask.

●Gateway
IP address of a relaying unit in case that there is not the
designation IP address on the subnet.
When the gateway is not used, select [Disable].

After entering addresses, click [Apply].
When the transmission is completed properly, [ALL SET
OK!] is displayed on the message box.

If the data is not transmitted, confirm the connection of
network, etc. and click [Apply] button again.

By the above procedure, the LAN settings of the thermal
image sensor are completed.

Please reboot the sensor because when LED

indicator of the sensor blinks twice in purple.

When multiple thermal image sensors are used,
perform the same settings for each thermal image
sensor. In case of multiple sensors being used,
perform the LAN settings of each sensor connected to
the PC separately.

.

 Initial settings of application software

These steps described here will register the sensor to be
connected

to the application software.

Select [Sensor Setup] → [IP Address] in the menu.

The following screen will appear.
Enter the following items.

●Checkboxes for Sensor 1 to
Sensor 4
Check () the checkboxes of the
sensor numbers that you want to
communicate with.
For example, when 2 thermal
image sensors are used and “1”
and “2” are allocated to these
sensors in the LAN setting of the
sensors, check () the [Sensor
1] check box and [Sensor 2]
checkbox.

●IP address
Enter the IP addresses assigned to each sensor with
the Network settings procedure.

●Sensor ID
You can give each sensor a name here.
For example, you can use location names such as furnace-1,
furnace-2, etc.

After the above items are entered, click [Apply].
By the above procedure, the initial settings of the application
software are completed.

■Displaying of thermal image

◆Color pallet

When the LAN settings of the sensors are changed,
change these settings as well, otherwise
, image and data will not be displayed correctly.

Start Application Software and he following screen will
appear. Click [Run] button on the screen.

When the IP registration to the application software
is not completed yet, the message of [No IP
Address found] will appear. Complete the
