1 General Notices
Please carefully read and get acquainted with these operating instructions.
Should any queries arise, please contact our service department under the contact data
depicted above. Do not, under no circumstances, attempt to open or repair the device
yourself. In the event of any warranty claims, please refer these to the retailer you purchased
the device.
The device is subject to technical and optical change within the scope of product
improvement.
1.1 Intended Use
This device was developed to serve as a display and configuration device for various IMKO
probes. Only the respectively intended probes may be connected to the device. The
connection of any probe which is not intended for the device, can lead to damage or the
destruction of this device and/or the connected probe.

3 Initial Commissioning
3.1 Safety Instructions
Attention: It is strictly necessary to read the General Notices contained under Item I 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)
3.3 Connection
For operation, the SONO-VIEW requires a supply voltage of 7...24V (approx. 80..30mA). A
joint ground wire together with the probes is not required. For the connection with the probes,
it is sufficient to merely connect the two bus lines „RT“and „COM“.
Notice: The SONO-VIEW is suited for the display and configuration of up to four
probes. Should more than four probes be connected, an error message
will be generated and the device cannot operate correctly.

3.3.1 Exemplary Connections
Example 1: Connection of the SONO-VIEW with two SONO probes and one joint voltage
supply source.
Example 2: Connection of the SONO-VIEW with 2 SONO-probes merely via IMP-bus.
SONO-VIEW and the probes dispose of their voltage supply. This may be
useful, if the distance between the measuring equipment and the display
device is considerable.

4 Operation
4.1 Initial and New Installation
At the initial connection to your probe-network, it is necessary to set the same up,
respectively follow an installation procedure at 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.
In order to maintain the clarity within the administration
of the probes, the SONO-VIEW operates on the basis
of assigned probe numbers (1...4).
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 .

Notice: The SONO-VIEW is suited for the display and configuration of up to four
probes. Should more than four probes be connected, an error message
will be generated and the device will not be able to operate properly.
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.
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, actuate the buttons / . Subsequently, all connected individual
probes are presented consecutively. For the purpose of allocation, the probe number is
always also presented in the upper section. If this form of display is maintained for a longer
period, the same will be assumed as „Standard“. In this case, the SONO-VIEW will present
this set measurement display form after a re-start.
