Firmware Upgradable via RS485, MODBUS , UART/TTL or NMEA 2000. 3.9 Product Material The ULP STD is engineered to be a robust device with minimal downtime. This new shape has been designed for optimum water spillage which implies lower probability of ice formation. Frost might affect measurements if it blocks The input wires are protected by the wave Transient pNVaoEtWlhta.!ge Suppression (TVS) diodes. The instrument body is built with Polyamide. 3.10 Quality Control 5. Configuration Options *Non applicable to the ULTRASONIC NMEA 2000 model. The ULP STD can be set up by using a special configuration app made by Calypso Instruments. In order to use the app, you should download the configurator from our website at www.calypsoinstruments.com. To configure your device, connect the ULP via either a USB to RS485 converter cable (in case of the ULP RS485 or the ULP Modbus) or via a USB to UART converter cable (in case of the ULP UART). Connect all the ULP cables except for the brown cable to the converter. Insert the USB into the computer, open the configurator app, select the configuration wanted and follow the instructions on the screen to finish the configuration. For more information, please watch the following video. https://bit.ly/3DuA7lM *USB converter cables available on calypsoinstruments.com. baudrate: output rate: output units: 2400 to 115200 (8n1) bauds 0.1 to 10 Hertz m/sec., knots or km/h Every single unit is calibrated with accuracy, following the same calibration standards for each one in a wind tunnel. A Q/C report for both wind speed and direction is generated and kept in our files. Standard deviation is checked to guarantee that each unit has been calibrated to the highest standards. 4. Firmware Firmware upgradable. Configurable via cable using the configuratior ( https://calypsoinstruments.com/technical-information).

General information 7.1. General recommendations Wind Speed Gust is that value that measures abrupt and sudden change in wind speed. Regarding mounting the unit, align the north mark of the ULP towards the north. Regarding mounting the unit, the mast head has to be prepared for the mechanical installation. Align the North mark of the Ultrasonic Ultra-Low-Power to the north. Make sure to install the sensor in a location free from wind perturbation, usually on the mast head. Make sure to install the sensor in a location free from anything that obstructs the flow of wind to the sensors within a 2 meter radius, for example, the mast head on a boat. Other important aspects: - Do not attempt to access the transducers area with your fingers; - Do not attempt any modification to the unit; - Never paint any part of the unit or alter its surface in any way. - NOT allow to be submerged fully or partially in water. If you have any questions or doubts, please contact us directly. 7.2. Maintenance and repair The ULP does not require great maintenance thanks to the lack of the moving parts in this new design. Transducers must be kept clean and aligned. Impacts or incorrect impulsive handling may lead to transducers misalignment. The space around the transducers must be empty and clean. Dust, frost, water, etc... will make the unit s top working. The ULP can be wiped clean with a damp cloth being careful to not touch the transducers.
