Outline The UV-22 is a dedicated interface unit for use with the Sound Level Meter Unit UN-14 and Vibration Meter Unit UV-15. Up to 16 UN-14 and UV-15 units can be linked to a single UV-22. Both USB and Ethernet (LAN) in-...
Page 12
Outline *2 Master/Slave function When multiple UN-14 or UV-15 units are linked, the settings of other units (Slave units) can be changed from one unit (Master unit) using this function. For example, if you set one UN-14 (Master unit) to CAL (calibration) mode using a special key action, all other UN-14 units (Slave units) will also go into calibration mode.
Select this position to use the USB interface for communication. Ethernet: Select this position to use the Ethernet (LAN) interface for commu- nication. RESET switch Pressing this switch resets the UV-22 as well as linked UN-14/UV-15 units and performs a restart. Use this in case of a communication problem.
Page 14
POWER switch Set to ON to activate the unit. If an AC adapter is connected to the UV-22, setting the POWER switch to ON will also supply power to the linked UN-14/UV-15 units. When using the Battery Unit BP-17, connect the AC adapter to the BP-17 and leave the POWER switch of the UV-22 set to ON.

Important Be sure to grasp the side with the “3M” lettering. If you pull on the other side, the tag may break. Grasp tag with “3M”...
Power Supply Connection The Interface Unit UV-22 has a power switch that can control power to the entire system. To provide power, purchase the optional AC adapter NC-99 series. Important Connect the power only after assembling and linking the system.
Preparations Setting the ID number When multiple UN-14 or UV-15 units are linked, you must assign a unique ID number to each unit for identifi cation. The setting is made with the operation keys on the UN-14 and UV-15. The default ID number setting both for the UN-14 and UV-15 is No.
Page 25
Preparations 1. When you press the INPUT key on the operation panel of the UN-14 or UV-15 two or three times in succession, the ID number starts to fl ash. 2. Use the RANGE keys to set the number. When the setting is complete, press the MEAS key to return to the measurement screen.
When the USB or Ethernet (LAN) interface is not to be used and measure- ment is controlled with the operation keys on each individual unit, or when wanting to use the Master/Slave function, set the communication function selector to “LOCAL (MASTER/SLAVE)”.

Preparations Master/Slave operation for setup Settings made at one unit (Master unit) can be refl ected at all other connect- ed units of the same type. This function distinguishes between UN-14 and UV-15 units. Example: Setup mode of UV-15 1. Select one of several linked UV-15 units. This unit is referred to as the Master unit, and all other UV-15 units will be Slave units.
Preparations Communication The UV-22 supports two formats for communication with a computer: USB or Ethernet. After establishing a connection, setup of the UN-14 and UV-15 units, mea- surement data readout, and user fi lter settings can be controlled from the computer.
Preparations LAN connection When the Ethernet (LAN) interface is used, the computer must be connected as a client and the UV-22 as a server. Sound Level Meter Unit UN-14 or Vibration Meter Unit UV-15 Interface Unit UV-22 (max. 16 units total)

Preparations Depending on your environment, [Windows Security] may be dis- played. Click on “Install” or “Continue”.
Page 35
Preparations 2. Make sure that the POWER switch of the UV-22 is set to OFF and that the communication function selector on the front panel is set to USB. 3. Plug the USB cable into the USB port of the UV-22 and plug the other end of the cable into the USB port of the computer.
Page 36
Preparations When the computer detects the UV-22, the device driver software installation is started automatically. When the installation has been completed, USB communication is enabled.
To use the Ethernet interface for connection to a computer, you must fi rst make settings for IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for the UV-22. To assign an IP address to the UV-22 and make other initial settings, the USB connection is used.

Commands This section explains the functions of “ID”, “ATTR”, and “BCC” in the transfer format block. ID: ID Number The ID number is 1 (01 ) in binary notation. ATTR: Block Attribute The block attribute information is added by the sender, to facilitate pro- cessing of the block at the receiving end.
For reception processing, the unit is initially in the <STX> wait (idling) mode, except during a sequence while waiting for response from the computer. In idling mode, the Interface Unit UV-22 disregards any data except <STX>. Command types There are two types of commands: setting commands and request com- mands.
The setting sequence can be selected to have a response or not. Check device sequence An acknowledge block is returned in response to the check device block. This is a standalone sequence which requires no preparation. Computer UV-22 Check device block Block normal Acknowledge block...
Page 45
Setting sequence Normal execution After command processing, an Acknowledge response is sent. “After command processing” refers to the point where processing has commenced, not where processing is completed. Computer UV-22 Command block Block normal Acknowledge block After command processing Abnormal execution When a block or command processing error has occurred, a Not Acknowl- edge response is sent.
