1 General Notices

Please carefully read and get acquainted with these operating instructions.
Should any queries arise, please contact our service department under the contact data

depicted above. Do not, under no circumstances, attempt to open or repair the device
yourself. In the event of any warranty claims, please refer these to the retailer you purchased
the device.

The device is subject to technical and optical change within the scope of product
improvement.

1.1 Intended Use

This device was developed to serve as a display and configuration device for various IMKO
probes. Only the respectively intended probes may be connected to the device. The
connection of any probe which is not intended for the device, can lead to damage or the
destruction of this device and/or the connected probe.

3 Initial Commissioning

3.1 Safety Instructions

Attention: It is strictly necessary to read the General Notices contained under Item I at the
beginning of the operating instructions. Any not intended use of the device can lead to
damage to this device.

3.2 Checking the Package Content for Completeness

 SONO-VIEW
 Terminal Block
 USB Cable (Type A  Mini B)

3.3 Connection

For operation, the SONO-VIEW requires a supply voltage of 7...24V (approx. 80..30mA). A
joint ground wire together with the probes is not required. For the connection with the probes,
it is sufficient to merely connect the two bus lines „RT“and „COM“.

Notice: The SONO-VIEW is suited for the display and configuration of up to four

probes. Should more than four probes be connected, an error message
will be generated and the device cannot operate correctly.

3.3.1 Exemplary Connections

Example 1: Connection of the SONO-VIEW with two SONO probes and one joint voltage

supply source.

Example 2: Connection of the SONO-VIEW with 2 SONO-probes merely via IMP-bus.

SONO-VIEW and the probes dispose of their voltage supply. This may be
useful, if the distance between the measuring equipment and the display
device is considerable.

4 Operation

4.1 Initial and New Installation

At the initial connection to your probe-network, it is necessary to set the same up,
respectively follow an installation procedure at the SONO-VIEW.

For this purpose, the device will scan the IMB bus for
connected probes.
Initiate the installation with the button .

After an instant, the serial numbers of all connected
probes are listed in the display.

In order to maintain the clarity within the administration
of the probes, the SONO-VIEW operates on the basis
of assigned probe numbers (1...4).
These must be allocated to the detected serial numbers
in the next step. For each probe number, select a serial
number using the / buttons and subsequently
acknowledge the same with the button .

Repeat this procedure until all serial numbers have
been allocated a probe number.

After completion of the above steps, all probe numbers
will be presented once more together with the
respectively allocated serial numbers in ascending
order.
Complete the installation process with the button .
