For SUNA running firmware version 2.4 or later
1. About This Manual
1. About This Manual
The SUNA is a versatile sensor that can operate in diverse environments. It is adaptable
to a wide variety of deployment scenarios and supports multiple interfaces. This manual
provides guidance on how to properly deploy the sensor and on how to interact with it.
Before operating the sensor, understand all warnings and cautions cited in section 13.
Safety And Hazards.
Section 3. The SUNA Sensor gives performance specifications, sensor dimensions, and
explains the measurement technology.
The SUNACom software provides a graphical user interface to facilitate working with the
sensor. It supports sensor configuration, system testing, data management, and data
re-processing. SUNACom has a separate user manual, which is available on the
installation CD and from within the SUNACom application via context sensitive help.
SUNACom does not address the requirements for all deployment scenarios, particularly
those related to integrated systems. For this reason, the complete firmware interface is
specified in Section 4. Terminal Interface of the SUNA. Explanations on how to start
when working in this environment are found in Section 2.1 Start-up Guide for Terminal
Interface.
The decision on how to configure the sensor is driven by the type of deployment.
Section 5. Configuration Parameters in Context provides an explanation of configuration
parameters. Section 6. Use Scenarios discusses configuration choices for some types
of deployments, and Section 7. SUNA Frame Definitions defines the output data.
Components supporting the deployment of the SUNA are specified in Section 11.
Accessories.
Some deployments benefit from components that can be added to the SUNA.
The SUNA is a versatile sensor and research is ongoing to expand its performance and
use. Support of new features can be coded into future SUNA firmware versions. Section
9. Firmware Upgrade provides instructions on how to install such a new firmware.
Explanation and remediation for some unexpected behavior of the SUNA are addressed
in Section 10. Troubleshooting, and guidance on handling is provided in Section 12.
Maintenance.
