– Direct communication with the AD-

VField processor using a terminal or terminal emulator including command format and options

•

Section 4. ADVField System Hardware

– Detailed description of hardware components in-

cluding processing modules, cables, probes, options, and special configurations

•

Section 5. Operational Considerations

– Concerns and procedures relating to coordinate sys-

tems, communication protocol, multiple system operation, analog output data, external syn-
chronization, mounting, optional sensors, seeding requirements, anti-fouling protection, main-
tenance, and troubleshooting

WARRANTY

The ADV is covered under a one-year limited warranty that extends to all parts and labor, and
covers any malfunction due to poor workmanship or errors in the manufacturing process. The
warranty does not cover shortcomings that are due to the design, nor does it cover any form of
consequential damage as a result of errors in the measurements.

If there is a problem with your ADV, first try to identify the problem by following the procedures
outlined in this manual. Contact SonTek immediately if you detect a hardware problem or if you
need additional help in identifying a problem with your ADV. Please obtain a Return Merchan-
dise Authorization (RMA) number before returning the system to the factory (see Section 6).

We encourage you to contact us immediately if a problem is detected and we will do our best to
minimize any downtime.
