Quick Start Guide for First-Time Users of the MonoCell
MonoCell
MonoCell Components
Tinn includes a hardware adjustment from H/W 1.04r to ensure stable compatibility with single-cell sensors (KN10, KN10-HT150).Earlier versions (1.02r and prior) are not compatible—please check your controller’s H/W version before use. If you are using an older unit, you will need to purchase a unit with H/W 1.04r or later to use single-cell sensors.
How to Install and Use MonoLAB Software
MonoLAB is the software provided by MonoCell.
Follow the steps below to install and use it with ease.
2. Run the Installation File
Follow the installation guide to complete the installation.
※ During the installation, FTDI drivers and .NET Framework will be installed. Both must be installed.
In most cases, .NET Framework is already installed, so you may receive a message indicating it is already installed.
3. Connect the Tinn Controller and Launch MonoLAB
Connect the Tinn controller to your PC using a USB cable.
When you launch MonoLAB, the software will automatically detect the connected device port.
※ If multiple devices are connected, the software may not connect to the intended device.
4. Create a Project File
Click the "Create New Project" button and enter a name for your project.
Then click the "Save" button to create the project.
※ Project files are saved in the .mlp format.
5. Connect the Sensors
Check the controller's connection ports and determine where to connect each sensor.
– You can connect up to 10 sensors in total.
6. Exit 'Edit Mode'
Once the main screen of the program appears, switch Edit Mode under the Setup menu to "Off".
When Edit Mode is turned "On", you can configure sensor connections, names, and layout.
However, real-time analysis is not available in this mode.
For more details about sensor setup mode, please refer to the MonoCell User Manual.
7. Start Real-Time Analysis
After connecting the sensors to the controller, check the central monitoring screen to ensure sensor output is being received.
By default, sensors 1 through 10 are placed in the first row of a 10×10 matrix layout.
This completes the installation and basic setup of MonoCell.

The recommended operating temperature for the sensor is room temperature (23±5°C).
Using the sensor above this temperature range may result in decreased measurement accuracy and potential damage to the sensor.
The pressure range varies by product, so please refer to the detailed product pages for specific information.
If you need to use pressure outside the specified range, we can adjust the product through customization.
Please contact our sales team for assistance.

If pressed with a soft object like a hand at a pressure of 1 kgf/cm², the sensor's lifespan is over 50,000 times.
When pressed with a metal object at a pressure of 10 kgf/cm², the approximate lifespan of the sensor is between 500 to 1,000 times.
* The number of uses may vary depending on the usage environment (pressure conditions, shape, etc.)
The main reason for sensor damage is not exceeding the number of uses,
but rather carelessness such as external damage due to improper usage methods and storage management.

This phenomenon is due to the viscoelastic properties of the material composing the sensor,
causing the output value to change over time under the same pressure.
Because of this characteristic, we recommend performing measurements within a short period (up to 5 minutes) for more precise results.
