7  Commissioning 

When the VS2k-UMB / VS20k-UMB is connected to the power supply a rattling sound must 
be heard. It comes from the spider defender which is switched on together with the device in 
the first place and again later sporadically in order to deter spiders from attaching their webs 
to the sensor.  

 

 

8  Configuration 

Lufft provides a PC software for configuration purposes. It allows the user to set up the 
device according to his necessities.  

8.1  Factory settings 

The VS2k-UMB / VS20k-UMB is supplied with the following settings: 

Device ID: ................................... 1 
Baud rate: ................................... 19200 
RS485 protocol........................... UMB binary 
Current output VS2k-UMB .......... 4 

– 20 mA corresponding to 0 – 2000 m (linear) 

Border contrast ........................... 5 % 
Averaging interval ....................... 5 min 

In case several VSx devices are operated in one UMB network, the ID must be changed 
since each device requires a unique ID. It makes sense to use ascending IDs starting from 1.  

8.2  Configuration with PC software UMB Config Tool 

The basic functioning of the PC software UMB-ConfigTool.Net as well as all single steps for 
the configuration are described in detail in the online help of the software.  

8.3  Firmware update 

The description of the firmware update can be found in the manual of the UMB-
ConfigTool.Net.
