Feature of J-chip mini
The J-chip mini is controlling all operating by the communication command.
(Please refer the additional specification of communication for the communication protocol.)
The J-chip mini is control with Panel-Soft.
The J-chip mini hold the time of measuring clock to internal clock(Resolution :RTC
of 1 second) then it set measuring clock to the internal clock when boot up.
(The internal clock also is setting it at the same time of the measurement clock is set.)
The J-chip mini receiver has unique function that it can do trigger ON + automatic tuning
after boot up then it can start measure automatically.
Power supply of the J-chip mini
External the power supply
Connect power supply with value of voltage more than 11.6 V.
Replace external power supply immediately when the voltage value of external power supply below
11.6V leads to LED lamp on with red color.
(CAUTION: This value of voltage 11.6V used with power cable (1.25 sq,2m) in standard accessories)
A back-up battery built in the J-chip mini receiver which allows for replacing the external power supply
while taking measurements.
A full charged backup battery allows for 10 minutes of operation, so replace the power supply within this
time.
When the LED lamp of “INT.BAT” starts blink with red color, it indicates that the capacity of back-up
battery is less than 10.5 V.
In this case, please never operate use with only this back-up battery and connect external power supply
immediately.
When connected to the external power supply with more than 11.7V and turn on the POWER switch,
the back-up battery will charge automatically.
For example, if connect full charged car battery with 28 Ah capacity, operating time is about 6 hou rs.
However please take care such battery for use as external battery even full charged because
performance of each battery is different by previous status of use each battery.
Power cable in accessories
This cable for external power for the receiver.
The cable consist of three kind of color f conductors
i.e. color is red(Plus +) , black(Minus -) and white (Non connection)

LED lamp
<EXT.POWER>
Green The voltage of external power supply more than 11.3V
Red The voltage of external power supply less than 11.3V
When voltage around 11.3V, LED lamp blight alternately about green an d re d color.
NOTE: This value of voltage used with power cable (1.25 sq,2m) in standard accessories)
<INT.BATT>
No lighting The voltage of internal battery more than 10.3V
Blinking with red color The voltage of internal battery less than 10.3V
------------------------------Lighting with red color Defective of internal battery
CAUTION:
The voltage of internal battery decrease Blinking with red color.
In this case, please connect to the external power supply with stable immediately the please charge
the internal battery.
If the internal battery is defective when ramp-up period, the red color lamp lights.
In this case it necessary replace new battery.

Color of LED lamp
<EXT. POWER >
Green : more than 11.6V of voltage value of external battery.
Red : less than 11.6 V of voltage value of external battery.
When voltage around 11.6V, LED lamp blight alternately about green and red color.
< INT.BAT >
No lighting :
More than 10.5 V of voltage value of back-up battery. (This is normal condition)
Blinking with red color :
less than 10.5 V.
(Connect external power source and re-charge back-up battery immediately.)
Lighting with red color :
Defective of back-up battery. (Replace back-up battery immediately)
The voltage of internal battery decrease Blinking with red color
In this case, please connect to the external power supply with stable immediately
the please charge the internal battery
If the internal battery is defective when ramp-up period, the red color lamp lights.
In this case it necessary replace new battery.

WRITE/LAN button
The lamp of the "WRITE/LAN" button becomes a slow blinking while the connection to PC by the
communication protocol and also during establishment of connecting with PC.
(Do not blink in the connection with the panel software. )
It is possible to write it in USB memory even insert the USB memory during LAN connection and as usual
though a slow as it is blinking is continued.
The lamp returns to a slow blinking after the end of work of writing.
Write to USB Memory
Measured data
The J-chip mini receiver create new file when start of measurement and store the measured data.
It can write these measured data to USB memory by press the “WRITE/LAN” button.
Created File : ‘Dxx.yyy’ xx:PC-ID yyy:Serial no.
Ex: PC-ID is 1 and File No. start from 005
Start of measurement File(’ D01.005’) Open.
(During measurement) WRITE/LAN File(’D01.005’) write to USB memory stick
End of measurement File(’ D01.005’) Close.
WRITE/LAN File(’D01.005’) write to USB memory stick
Start of measurement File(’ D01.006’) Open.
WRITE/LAN File(’D01.006’) write to USB memory stick
.
(During measurement)
WRITE/LAN File(’D01.006’) write to USB memory stick
End of measurement File(’D01.006’) Close.
WRITE/LAN File(’D01.006’) write to USB memory stick
Information of the receiver
Write the information of the receiver with measured data every time.
Created File : ‘Cxx.txt’ xx:PC-ID
Written contents The elapsed date with measuring clock.
The IP address of the receiver.
The name of the receiver.
The version of receiver firmware.
The version of firmware of trigger board.
The version of firmware of power supply board.
NOTE:
The lamp on WRITE/LAN button is blinking when writing in USB fails.
Depend of the USB memory, it might succeed with pushing the WRITE/LAN button again even
writing fails. (It is thought the error of the USB memory itself two or more times when not
succeeding even if it tries.)
