Page 5: General Notices
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. -

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“. -
Page 8: Exemplary Connections
Manual SONO-VIEW Version 3_1 2017-05-24 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. -
Page 9: Operation
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. -

Page 17: Material Calibration
2017-05-24 Manual SONO-VIEW Version 3_1 1.1.1 Material Calibration The "Material Calibration" menu item allows you to set a material-specific calibration stored in the probe. In addition, you have the possibility to carry out your own calibrations in order to be able to measure special materials. - Page 18 Manual SONO-VIEW Version 3_1 2017-05-24 1.1.1.2.1 1-Point Calibration With this material calibration option, a linear equation (f (x) = mx + b) is calculated with the dry density. So it is necessary to have the dry density of the measured material before activating this option.

Note: After performing "Save", the original material calibration is preceded by an "OWN:", indicating that this is a specially prepared material calibration.

2017-05-24 Manual SONO-VIEW Version 3_1 1.1.2 Offset Adjustment For compensation of measurement deviations caused by e.g. density fluctuations in the material or by installation conditions, it is possible to linearly shift the measured value. This menu item is used for this purpose. You can move the measured value between -10 and +10 percentage points. -
