INSTALLATION

Placing the SONARIS

The SONARIS should be placed on a stable, vibration-free, level surface such as a table or

desktop. It can also be mounted on a wall. The location chosen should be in a safe area

where it will not be in the way of normal traffic. It should be free of temperature extremes and

water and not subjected to direct sunlight. The SONARIS should be placed (or mounted)

where the display is easily viewed and within easy reach of the operator.

Regardless of where you place or mount the SONARIS, keep the area around it clear.

Movable objects that might interfere with the sound waves of the sensor should be removed

from a 6 foot radius.

IMPORTANT: The SONARIS cannot be set directly on the ground.

Wall Mounting

The SONARIS may be mounted on a wall using the two holes in the back of the enclosure and

two #10 screws placed 2.00 inches (51 mm) apart in the wall.

1. Choose the location to mount the

SONARIS on the wall. Make certain

the structure and mounting screws are

of sufficient strength to support the

SONARIS.

2. Install two #10 screws placed 2.00

inches (51 mm) apart in the wall.

3. Turn the SONARIS around to locate

the slotted holes in the back of the

enclosure.

4. Place the large end of the slotted

holes on the back of the enclosure

over the screw heads in the wall.

5. Gently pull down to secure the

SONARIS to the wall.

Choosing a Height

The SONARIS will measure heights of a fairly wide range but there are some limits. Two

major factors should be considered:

Maximum Height –The SONARIS cannot measure heights that are closer than 7 inches

to the sensor. For example, if the height of the sensor is 94 inches from the ground

then the tallest measurement it could make would be 87 inches (7 feet, 3 inches). To

measure a person that is taller, the sensor will have to be mounted higher.

Minimum Height –The SONARIS is most reliable when measurements are taken above

the base of the unit. For example, if the SONARIS is mounted so that the bottom of the

base is 36 inches high, then the minimum reliable height it could measure would be 40

inches (3 feet, 4 inches) due to the SONARIS base being 4 inches in height.

The sensor is approximately 46 inches above the bottom of the base. The following are some

example height ranges:

POWERING THE SONARIS

AC Power Adapter

To power the SONARIS using the included

12VDC wall plug-in UL/CSA listed AC power

adapter, connect the plug from the adapter into

the power jack on the side of the unit and then

plug the power adapter into the proper electrical

outlet. On models requiring 230 VAC, it is the

customer’s responsibility to obtain the correct

power adapter plug.

Batteries

The SONARIS can use six "AA”size Alkaline, Ni-

Cad, or NiMH batteries (not included). You must

first obtain, and install batteries before operations

can begin. Batteries are contained in a battery

holder inside the unit base. Turn the SONARIS

on its side to access the battery holder in the

bottom of the unit base.

CAUTION! The SONARIS can be operated from Alkaline, Ni-Cad or NiMH

batteries. All six batteries must be of the same type. They must all be Alkaline, all

Ni-Cad, or all NiMH. DO NOT mix Alkaline and Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries.

NOTE: The SONARIS does not have a battery charging circuit. Should you wish

to use Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries, they must be fully charged before installing.

When discharged, Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries must be removed and placed in an

external charger to recharge.

Battery Status

The battery status will be displayed when batteries are installed. The battery bar graph on

the display indicates the battery capacity in five steps:

4 segments

The full battery capacity is available.

3 segments

The battery is at 80% of capacity

2 segments

The battery is at 60% of capacity.

1 segment

The battery is at 40% capacity.

0 segments

The battery is at less than 20% capacity.

When the batteries are near the point they need to be replaced (Alkaline) or recharged

(NiCad or NiMH), the battery status symbol will not show any bars. If the battery voltage

drops too low for accurate height measurement, the SONARIS will automatically shut off

and you will be unable to turn it back on.

Using Alkaline Batteries

When no bars on shown on the battery status symbol, press the key to turn the

SONARIS off, remove the old batteries and replace with new ones.

Using NiCad or NiMH Batteries

When no bars on shown on the battery status symbol, press the key to turn the

SONARIS off, remove the discharged batteries and replace with fully charged ones.

Place the discharged batteries in an external charger to recharge.

OPERATION

1. Press key to turn the SONARIS on.

2. Have the patient step under the sensor, stand still and look straight ahead and not down at

the SONARIS display.

3. The displayed height will update until it locks onto the patient’s height.

4. Once the height is locked onto, a beep will sound. NOTE: The height will remain locked

while the patient is under the sensor.

5. Read and record the height displayed.

6. Have patient step away from the sensor.

7. Once the patient steps away, the display will automatically return to a zero height display

NOTES:

It is recommended that a height station mark the floor in some way to show the

patient where to stand (the location where the crown of the head is directly under the

sensor). Standing too far away from the sensor will make heights appear short.

There is a natural tendency for the patient to look down at the height display during

measurement. In order to obtain an accurate height measurement, instruct the

patient to look straight ahead and not down at the display. Looking down can

reduce the measured height by up to an inch.

Selecting Units

The SONARIS can display the measured height in feet/inches, inches, centimeters, and

millimeters. To change the displayed measurement, press the UNITS key to toggle between

the four available units.

Feet and Inches

Inches

Centimeters

Millimeters

CALIBRATION

Movable objects that might interfere with the sound waves of the sensor should be removed

from a 6 foot radius. Objects that are not easily movable (walls, a desk, large heavy objects

that stay in one-spot) can be left in place. These larger objects will be masked away in the

calibration process.

NOTE: The keys are not to be operated with pointed objects (pencils, pens,

fingernails, etc.). Damage to the keys resulting from this practice will NOT be

covered under warranty.

To Begin

1. Press the key to turn the SONARIS on.

2. The SONARIS will perform a display test (turn on all segments) and then change to the

show the firmware version.

3. Press the POWER and UNITS keys at the same time to begin the calibration.

4. The display will flash Stand and Clear (twice) indicating you should step away from the

sensor at a distance of at least 6 feet.

5. After approximately four seconds, Clear will begin flashing on the display.

6. At this time the sensor is recording data on its surroundings and auto-detecting the

distance to the floor.

7. Calibration will take approximately ten seconds.

8. When calibration is complete, the display will change to donEand a beep will be heard.

9. The SONARIS will return to a zero height display and is now ready for normal operation.

IMPORTANT! Any time the SONARIS is moved to a different location or

remounted it must be recalibrated.
