## Configuration Instructions 

## Sensor Configuration Software 

The Sensor Configuration Software offers an easy way to manage converter Modbus settings, retrieve data, and visually show converter data. The Sensor Configuration Software runs on any Windows machine and uses an adapter cable (BWA-UCT-900, p/n 19970) to connect the converter to the computer. Download the most recent version of the Sensor Configuration Software from the Banner Engineering website: https://info.bannerengineering.com/cs/groups/public/documents/software/b_3128586.exe.

## Status Indicators 

## **Power LED Indicator (Green)** 

- Solid Green = Power On 

- Off = Power Off 

**Modbus Communication LED Indicator (Amber)** 

- Flashing Amber (4 Hz) = Modbus communications are active 

- Solid Amber for 2 seconds to Off = Modbus communications are lost after connection 

- Solid Amber for 2 seconds to Flashing Amber (4 Hz) = Modbus communications momentarily lost, but communication reestablished 

- Solid Amber = Modbus communications are intermittent, or communications error occurs more frequently than once every 2 seconds 

- • Off = Modbus communications are not present

## FCC Part 15 Class B 

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: 

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. 

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. 

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. 

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 

## Industry Canada 

This device complies with CAN ICES-3 (B)/NMB-3(B). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful interference; and 2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 

Cet appareil est conforme à la norme NMB-3(B).
