SONO-DIS

Robust battery-powered mobile display unit for the SONO-WZ and SONO-M1 moisture probes. Strong, weather-

resistant IP67 aluminum housing.

1 General Notices

1.1 Intended Use

This handheld device was designed to serve as a reading device for various IMKO probes. Only the listed probes

may be connected to the device. The connection of a probe not intended for connection may lead to damage of

the device and/or the connected probe.

1.2 The Chargeable Accumulator

Never change the integrated accumulator yourself.

The stated maximum operating periods refer to ideal conditions. The ambient temperature and the charging

cycles can significantly reduce the performance time. In addition, the charging capacity is decreasing for technical

reasons within the course of the utilization of the device or due to storage at very high or low temperatures.

1.3 Charging the DIS Handheld device

Only use the respectively provided charger or a comparable power supply unit to charge the SONO-DIS handheld

device. Any deviation of the charging voltage can lead to damage of the device.

The device is heating up during the charging process.

Should the SONO-DIS only function for a short period or not at all in spite of several attempts to charge it, the

integrated accumulator is defective and must be exchanged. In this case, please contact our local distribution

partner or us directly.

1.4 Temperatures and Ambient Conditions

The SONO-DIS handheld device was designed for deployment under rough conditions.

The operation of the device under conditions beyond those depicted may lead to damage of the device.

2 Control Elements

Probe/Charger Connection

• Leave Menu Item

With only 4 control keys, SONO-DIS allows an easy handling and well-structured measurement procedure.

Attention:

For measuring concrete, the standard calibration curve “Cal. No.4” is pre-selected inside the SONO-DIS. When

switching on the SONO-DIS, the display shows the active calibration curve Cal.No.4. This selection needs to be

changed when other materials as concrete should be measured.

3 Initial Commissioning

3.1 Safety Instructions

Attention:

Before initial commissioning, please read the General Notices in the first chapter of this operating instructions.

Any not intended use may lead to damage of the device.

3.2 Checking the scope of delivery

• SONO-DIS Handheld device

• Plug-in Power Supply Unit (12V/2A)

• Charging Adapter

• Protective Hood

• Manual

3.3 Charging the Accumulator

The integrated accumulator should be charged before putting the device into operation the first time. For this

purpose, plug in the provided charging adapter into the 7-pole socket of the SONO-DIS. Subsequently, connect

the plug-in power supply unit to the charging adapter. In the event that the device is already switched on, or if the

accumulator is completely discharged, the charging process will commence immediately.

If not, switch on the SONO-DIS by pressing the button „Measurement“ for approximately 1 second. An active

charging process is indicated in the display by an animated accumulator symbol. The integrated charging electronics

charges the accumulator until it is completely charged. In case of complete discharge, this will approximately take

2 hours. As soon as the charging process is completed, all 4 „accumulator bars“ will be permanently presented in

the display and the trickle charging will commence.

Attention:

Only charge the accumulator at room temperature (10°C to 30°C). At too low temperatures, it may happen

that the accumulator is over-charged. Too high ambient temperatures may lead to damage of the SONO-DIS

due to the additional heat-up during the charging process.

3.4 Connecting a Sensor

The SONO-DIS handheld device can be operated with the following IMKO-moisture probes:

Connect the moisture probe to the SONO-DIS by plugging in the 7-pole plug into the socket at the SONO-DIS and

fastening the coupling nut.

Text Meaning

4.2 Switching "ON" the SONO-DIS Portable Measuring Instrument

Switch ON the SONO-DIS by pressing the button „Measurement“ for approximately 1 second.

During the starting-up process, the SONO-DIS will attempt to communicate with the connected probe. This will

take approximately 4 seconds. If no probe is connected, or the probe is not able to communicate for any reason,

an error message will be generated on the display.

If the probe was successfully detected, the accordingly set background of the operation mode will appear on the

display and the SONO-DIS is ready for deployment.

NOTE:

Should no connection to the probe be possible in spite of several attempts, check if the probe is connected

properly. Should this not deliver a positive result, please contact our service department.

4.3 Switching "OFF" the SONO-DIS Portable Measuring Instrument

Switch OFF the SONO-DIS by pressing the button „Measurement“ for approximately 1 second.

NOTE:

It is not possible to shut off the SONO-DIS while it is in a „Setting“ procedure. Please, first leave the menu item

„Settings“ by pressing the button „Settings“ until the measurement display appears.

4.4 Probe Specific Settings

SONO DIS may be operated in combination with SONO-WZ probe as well as with SONO-M1 probe. Depending on

which probe is connected, probe specific menus and settings will be displayed.

The probe specific menus and settings are listed in the respective chapters of the probe in this manual.
