2.3 Warning to users in the United States
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement 47 CFR Section 15.105(b)
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

3.2 Mechanical speciations
The products described in this user manual have a versatile building. They are composed of 2 or 3 units
depending of the device model. (a shaft, a raising part and a cover)
The different technical drawings are shown in the additional documents.
3.3 Functionalities
Measure : Each level sensor is able to measure a level using ultrasonic waves by determinig the time used
by the wave to come back to the sensor after a reflexion on the target area.
Record : Each device is able do record up to 500 000 values. These values can be measured by the sensor
himself or retrieved from an other sensor.
Concentrate and Broadcast : The sensors or loggers are able to retrieve data from other sensors or
loggers with a short range radio connection.
The devices equiped with a GSM/GPRS modem are able to send data though a cellular network to a SCADA
for example.

Installation guide UM001
4 Installation guide
4.1 Inserting the SIM card
To retrieve data by GSM/GPRS, the sensors and data
loggers that have the GSM option require a SIM card. It
must be installed in the card holder provided for this
purpose. This card holder is located on top of the sensor
on the component side, to the right of the modem.
Before handling the sensor, do not forget to discharge
yourself from electrostatic loads by touching a grounded
conductive surface. The procedure for setting up the SIM
card is:
• Only unscrew the top cover of the sensor / logger
(see photo).
• It is necessary that the modem is inactive (modem
LED off) when inserting the SIM card to be recognize
by the drive. If not, perform a reset of the device.
• Insert the SIM card with a pair of tweezers (see photo
below cons). The notch of the SIM card must be in the
upper left of the connector when inserted.
• Verify the presence of desiccant bags.
• Before closing the lid, turn it anticlockwise one turn to
adjust the antenna wire. Then turn it clockwise until it
stops.
4.2 Changing batteries
- Unscrew the top lid, hold with your finger the electronic card, disconnect the lid cord.
- Unscrew the transparent-extension tube (optional).
- Remove the battery from its housing and disconnect it. Perform multiple
presses on button until the LED to the right of the button does not light up.
- Take off the old desiccant bags
- Insert the battery and connect it (connector is keyed).
- Insert the desiccant packs to the side of the battery, screw the transparent extension tube (optional).
Reconnect the lid cord and then close the lid thoroughly, taking care to preload cord.
Note: After changing the battery, the stored measurements in a sensor are recoverable.
–
www.ijinus.com K0J00001-01A04 10/19
At restart the indicator light should flash red/green and then
the LED should flash green every 10 seconds.
Replacement batteries should not be exposed to temperatures above 25 ° C (capacity degradation).
In cases where replacement batteries are led to be stored for several weeks, it is recommended to
place them in a cool place (fridge for example).
Installation guide UM001
WARNING: This operation must be done quickly because the desiccant packs have a very short life in the
open air (about 3 minutes). After this period, they no longer provide full functions.
You must then reconnect your device to reset the time using the software AVELOUR to ensure that your
measurement dates are not wrong.
4.3 Mounting the sensor with our mounting plates
Mounting plates allow secure attachment while sufficient mobility is needed for the proper orientation of the
sensor (perpendicular to the surface of the fluid).

5 Quick Troubleshooting
5.1 Meaning of the LED flashes
The operating LED the of the motherboard is located above the battery connector. The operating LED the of
the modem is located under the SIM card.
• Motherboard (battery side) :
Alternating red/green for 1 second (10 x 100 ms) then orange for 5 seconds in the following cases:
▪ All restart with external power supply connected
▪ Connecting an external power supply (including USB)
▪ Reset command launched by the application (for example Firmware Update)
Once the application is launched:
▪ 1 green flash 100 ms all 2100 ms
▪ 1 flash green every 50 ms radio activity
▪ 1 red flash of 100 ms in case of system error
▪ Red or fixed green in case of a system failure (followed by an automatic restart after about
16 seconds)
• Modem card (SIM card side) :
▪ Inactive modem (not supplied): Led off
▪ Starting the modem (power application): Green flash and led off for about 2 seconds. Fixed
green light during the recording of the GSM network (10 to 30 seconds)
▪ Operating: Solid green if the modem is not registered on the network or while a network
search. Fixed green light of 200 ms every 2 seconds if the modem is registered on the
network.
5.2 Sensor update
If the device you want to connect to is not up to date, an automatic updating procedure is done from the
latest version of AVELOUR.

5.3 FAQ
From where can I download AVELOUR?
You can download AVELOUR using the download link that was sent to you with your order. However, if you
have misplaced it, you can send a request by mail to the customer service to get a new one.
Which of the two applications should I install ?
You have the choice between two executables:
Setup_Avelour_XXXX.exe and Setup_Avelour_XXXX_DotNet_x32.exe
You must install the "DotNet" if you have never installed on your computer AVELOUR. Alternatively, you can
install the other version.
My access point does not detect any devices.
Check that the antenna provided in the programming kit is placed on the access point and its LED flashes
green.
Check that the USB cable is properly connected and undamaged.
My sensor does not appear in the list of possible connections in AVELOUR.
Check the LED status of this sensor, near the battery connector, that should flashes green.
A minimum distance of 1m between the sensor and the access point is required.
Check the connection of the battery.
I do not receive SMS after doing the “sending SMS test“ under AVELOUR.
Verify the presence and the direction of insertion of the SIM card as well as the presence of the GSM
antenna.
Also check the network status using the “modem diagnostic” button under AVELOUR. The sensor can send
SMS from the moment the reception level(RSSI) is greater than -100.
Prior to joining the after-sales service, please verify that your version of AVELOUR and firmware version of
your devices are up to date. To do this, download the latest version of AVELOUR from the download link that
has been delivered at the same time as your order and connect to your equipment with it.
Please contact the sales personn in charge of your area or the after sales service before any return.
When you return equipment, please attach a note explaining your request.
The after sales service will take into account only full and cleaned equipment.
