USB Connection
For configuring the SonoCollect 210/211, the
device must be connected to the USB port of a
Windows PC or notebook. The accompanying
USB cable can be used for the internal USB
connector.
If the SonoCollect 210/211 device is equipped
with an external USB or mains power, supply
connector and you have also got the external
SonoCollect 210/211 USB cable you can connect
the USB interface using the external connector.
Please note the indicators on plug and
connector. Do not use force to connect the
power supply but turn the connector gently until
it slips in. You may then use the fitting screw to
fasten the connector in place. Here again, screw
it on gently without using force.
It is only possible to connect either the external
power supply or the external USB cable for
configuring the device without opening the case.
Please note that you may only connect
the internal or the external USB interface.
Connecting both USB interfaces (internal and
external) at the same time may damage your
PC/notebook.
The first time you are connecting a SonoCollect
210/211 device to your PC / notebook it is
necessary to install the appropriate USB driver (if
it is not already present on your PC / notebook).
For this procedure, an internet connection is
necessary.
Additional information referring to the
configuration software and the installation of
the USB driver can be found in the SonoReCon
software manual.
Installation
Usually, the SonoCollect 210/211 is at the
beginning configured using its USB interface.
That is, all relevant configuration parameters
like SIM card parameters, FTP server and radio
reception parameters are set. Additionally, the
SIM card is inserted.
After that the SonoCollect 210/211 is transported
to the point of installation; without battery pack
connected. On site, the battery is connected and
the case is closed.
By closing, the device case please be aware
that the screws should at first only be loosely
and crosswise screwed to not twist the case.
After that the screws should be tightened
carefully with low torque. The protection
rating IP67 of the case is only valid if the
screws are tightened correctly.
It is also important to not damage the screws
by using a too high torque or by using
inadequate tools.
The battery cable should not be squeezed
between the two case parts.
For best radio reception, the SonoCollect 210/211
should be placed as close as possible to the
resource meters to receive. There should not be
any conducting or metal device at 5 cm (even
better 10 cm) around the SonoCollect 210/211.
This may disturb the radio reception.
The SonoCollect 210/211 should not be placed
close to devices causing electromagnetic
interference, like radios, television sets, audio
equipment, cell phones etc.
The SonoCollect 210/211 is fixed to a plane wall
using its case screw holes.
