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.

Set the device to Tinn (Snowboard2). (Default value: MC1509)

Set the sensor to MS9723. (Default value: None)

5. Set Device Port 

To connect the device with the software, you need to know the port number that identifies the device.

Click on Port1 UI, and you will see a Reset option. Depending on your PC, there might also be COM1.

Remember the port number, then refer to the image below to connect the Tinn controller to your PC.




After connecting to the PC, select Reset in Port1. A new COM port will be added.

The new COM port is the recently connected Tinn controller, 

and the COM port number assigned by the PC usually does not change.

In this guide, COM81 is shown as the newly added port. Please select the new port.

Refer to the image below.

Press the connected sensor in an 'X' pattern and check if it appears the same on the Snowforce3 screen.

If it does not display, set the ColorMap value to 30 and the Threshold value to 0, then check again.

If it still does not display, please start again from Step 3 after the software installation.

Common[Document] Guide to Connecting 4 Sensors to Interface Board (MA2406)

19 Jun 2024


Hello!

this is Kitronyx, a leading company in the field of pressure distribution sensors.


In this post, we will guide you on how to simultaneously connect four secondary battery pressure uniformity measurement sensors to a single interface board.


First, please ensure that your products are compatible, as the applicable interface board and sensor models are limited.

Even if you are using the specified sensors, they are only compatible with the MA2406 interface board. 

Therefore, please purchase the MA2406 separately and refer to this guide.


Additionally, the sensor's INI files must also be compatible with the MA2406. 

If you do not have the INI files, please contact us for prompt assistance.


* Applicable Sensors: SFC5512, SFC5210M2, SFC3110

* Applicable Interface Board: MA2406

For other products, a separate interface board is required for each sensor.
