There is no problem, WiMo sonde uses some memory space for its functionality.

You are able to hang the sonde by the handle. However, the handle is made of aluminum, so it is forbidden to fix a steel cable directly on the loop, otherwise it will cause electrolysis which will destroy the loop and the screws holding it in place.

To suspend the sonde, you must use either a rope or an insulated cable or a plastic piece to be placed between the loop and the cable.

It is difficult to give a value for the power consumption of WiMo sonde because it depends on several factors such as the number of sensors connected, the acquisition frequency, and so on. However, to design a system using the WiMo, a maximum power consumption of 2.5W should be considered.

The probe checks every minute if the external power supply is on. If detected the Modbus serial link is switch on. Wait at least 1 minute after switch on the external power supply before Modbus request  

Please contact nke after sales service, your WiMo sonde needs an update to work with your sensor.

When you order an ISE or ORP sensor you must order with a longer protection cap sold as an accessory. Indeed, the standard protection cap is not adapted anymore for these sensors.

Pressure measurement is sensitive to different parameters like atmospheric pressure and so on. If you want to have a relative zero value before immerse the WiMo proceed as follow

Connect to the device and go on “Live view”

Check the pressure reading (here 0.184 dbar = 18.4 mbar)

Go back to the dashboard . Select the pressure sensor and go to “pressure reference”.

Add the recorded value (18.4mbar) to the previous value (1018mbar)

Check the pressure reading

Please try to unplug your sensor for 10 seconds before plugging it back in.
