1. About this installation guide
This guide is aimed at EkkoSense installers and explains how to fit and configure the EkkoAir
cooling duty sensor.
2. Fit or replace the battery
To fit or replace the battery in an
EkkoAir you need to remove the
front cover. You will also need to
remove the front cover to
configure the EkkoAir.
To remove the cover, use a
screwdriver to press in the tabs
on the side and gently slide the
front off. The battery connection
is in the front and is wired to the
circuit board in the back of the
EkkoAir, so take care when
removing the front.
The EkkoAir uses a Lithium Thionyl Chloride AA 3.6V battery that fits into the rear of the
cover. Only use Tadiran SL760/S or SAFT LS14500 batteries.
Make sure that the polarity of the battery matches the + and – symbols shown next to the
battery clips for the battery connection.
The cables that connect the
battery panel to the circuit board
should be connected so that black
(negative) is the top connection
and red (positive) is the bottom
connection, as shown in the
image here.

3. Change the EkkoAir settings
This part of the installation only applies if you need to change the settings of the EkkoAir.
It is designed to work with the default settings in place, but you may need to change
settings to meet the requirements for the site.
1. Remove the cover of the EkkoAir unit. For instructions on removing the cover, see Fit
or replace the battery on page 4.
2. Connect the USB TTL serial cable to the UART connection in the EkkoAir. It is the 6 pin
connection on the left side of the circuit board.
3. Connect the USB TTL serial cable to your computer.
If this is the first time you have connected an EkkoAir to your computer, Windows will detect the
USB TTL serial cable and set it up automatically. This can take a few minutes. Windows provides
a notification when the setup is complete.
4. Run the EkkoAirConfiguration.exe file.
If Windows Defender protects your PC, select the More info link and then select Run anyway.
Note: Connect the cable so that the green wire at the top, then yellow,
orange, red, brown, with black at the bottom. Please check the text on the
PCB if you are unsure. The EkkoAir will be unable to connect to a computer
if the USB TTL cable is connected in any other way.
