1 General Notices
1.1 Intended Use
This device was developed as a readout device for various IMKO probes. Only dedicated probes may be connected
to this device. The connection of a probe not intended for this purpose can lead to the destruction of this device
and / or the connected probe.
1.2 Temperatures and environmental conditions
The SONO-VIEW has been developed for operation in harsh environments.
Operation outside of the conditions specified below can damage the device.

3.1 Safety Instructions
Attention:
It is strictly necessary to read the General Notices contained under Item 1 at the beginning of the operating
instructions. Any not intended use of the device can lead to damage to this device.
3.2 Checking the Package Content for Completeness
• SONO-VIEW
• Terminal Block
• USB Cable (Type A → Mini B)
• DIN rail
• DIN rail holder
• Manual
3.3 Connection
For operation, the SONO-VIEW requires a supply voltage of 12...24V (approx. 50..30mA). A joint ground wire
together with the probes is required.
NOTE:
The SONO-VIEW is suited for the display and configuration of up to eight probes. Should more than eight
probes be connected, an error message will be generated, and the device cannot operate correctly.

4 Operation
4.1 Initial and New Installation
At the initial connection to your probe-network, it is necessary to follow the installation procedure of the
SONO-VIEW.
For this purpose, the device will scan the IMB bus for
connected probes.
Initiate the installation with the button .
After an instant, the serial numbers of all connected
probes are listed in the display.
Start the installation process with the buttom .
In order to maintain the clarity within the administration
of the probes, the SONO-VIEW operates on the basis of
assigned probe numbers (1...8).
These must be allocated to the detected serial numbers
in the next step.
For each probe number, select a serial number using the
/ buttons and subsequently acknowledge the
same with the button .
Repeat this procedure until all serial numbers have been
allocated a probe number.
After completion of the above steps, all probe numbers
will be presented once more together with the
respectively allocated serial numbers in ascending order.
Complete the installation process with the button
9
After completion of the installation process, the SONO-VIEW will re-start, verify the connected probes, and will
immediately commence to call up the measurement values.
4.2 Measurement Value Display
The SONO-VIEW immediately commences to call up and display the measurement values after start-up. This is
performed in a 500 ms cycle. Depending on how many probes are connected, from one to four, the following
displays will be presented.
If between five and eight probes are connected, a second display with four values apeers.
The moisture value in percent and the respective probe number is always presented. If two or three probes are
connected, the temperature measured by the probe is additionally also presented. In the event that only one
probe is connected, the calibrated radar run-time is also presented.
If more than one probe is connected to the SONO-VIEW, there is an option to change the display. For this purpose,
press the buttons / .
With each press, all connected probes are displayed one after the other as individual probes. If the last probe is
displayed as a single probe, the next time the button is pressed, it will be displayed again the display of 4 probe
values.
The probe number always appears in the upper right area of the display. If you remain on a display for a longer
time, this display is set as the “default”. After a restart, the SONO-VIEW starts on the set measurement display.
