4.  Now all necessary wiring activities at TROPOS have to be 

carried out, without the connection of the power supply, that 
is without putting the plug into the socket. For this steps see 
the following article and 

the chapter 4.4, pages 5+6.

 

Correct cable connection 

The wire end sleeves have to be pressed on the insulated 
ends of the sensor cables. The wire end sleeves (cross-
section 0.5...1.5 mm

2

) should provide a smooth outside 

surface to disconnect the cable easily. 
Normally a lower pressure is enough to insert the wire ends 
into the connecting clamps. If it is needed, the pusher can 
be pressed to plug in the wire end sleeves without resist-
ance. 
Only a lower pressure on the pusher is enough to unplug 
the cables. Therefor the cable end has to be pressed in 
fi rst during pressing the pusher, before the cable can be 
unplugged.

The wire end sleeves can be stuck because of 
self-locking. In this case don’t keep pulling! The 
connection will become even more tight. Push the 
cable down into the jack while pressing the pusher 
down too. Then remove the cable while still holding 
the pusher down.

The shielding has to be connected with the potential 
equalisation panel of the used switchboard, see also 
fi gures 2+3.

5. 

TROPOS has to be connected to a COM interface of 
your PC by means of the delivered connecting cable + 
null modem adapter (TROPOS-sided).

6.   Now the power supply of TROPOS may be switched 

on. TROPOS turns on automatically and the LCD gets 
active. The LCD turns off automatically when there are 
no further activities at the push-/ rotary switch for some 
times. TROPOS is still active but in the standby mode.

 

Please, from now don’t make any wiring operations!

7. 

You have to deal with the software 

”TROPOS-Commander

“ 

again. 

8. 

Choose your language and click “Close”. “

TROPOS 

Commander

” has to be started again.

9. 

The first communication between PC and TROPOS 
should be carried out by the function 

Request CFG

. Thus 

you get the information whether TROPOS and PC are 
able to communicate together or which deviations have 
been occurred. Check fi rst the right choice of the COM 
interface, if required. 

 

Choose the menu item „Setup/ TROPOS confi guration“ 
and start the on-line help via the F1 key on your key-
board. Follow the instructions and hints.

10.  All further settings and operations are described in the 

on-line help.

Recommendation:

If a new confi guration or a reconfi guration of TRO-
POS is necessary, you should keep ready your deliv-
ery note. Thus a quick fi nding of the sensors, which 
have to be connected, is possible by their “ID-No”.

An overview about the available sensor inputs exists 
in the software “TROPOS-Commander” under the 
menu item „Setup/ TROPOS confi guration/ Measur-
ing channels“.

There is a selective list, from which the correct sen-
sor can be chosen per each channel.

If a combined sensor should be chosen, that is a 
sensor with more than one output, the right choice 
of parameter is important.

Example: Humidity Temperature Sensor (8093):
E...00.8093.000000_Humidity_0-1V
E...00.8093.000000_Temperature_PT100.
