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“.
NOTE:
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.

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 .

NOTE:
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 will not be
able to operate properly.
After completion of the installation process, the SONO-VIEW will re-start, verify the connected probes,
and will immediately commence to call up the measurement values.
4.2 Measurement Value Display
The SONO-VIEW immediately commences to call up and display the measurement values after start-
up. This is performed in a 500 ms cycle. Depending on how many probes are connected, from one to
four, the following displays will be presented.
The moisture value in percent and the respective probe number is always presented. If two or three
probes are connected, the temperature measured by the probe is additionally also presented. In the
event that only one probe is connected, the calibrated radar run-time is also presented.
If more than one probe is connected to the SONO-VIEW, there is an option to change the display. For
this purpose, actuate the buttons / . Subsequently, all connected individual probes are presented
consecutively.
For the purpose of allocation, the probe number is always also presented in the upper section. If this
form of display is maintained for a longer period, the same will be assumed as „Standard“. In this case,
the SONO-VIEW will present this set measurement display form after a re-start.
