Below you'll see the step by step process for setting up the SoundPro series of sensors as well as tips for troubleshooting and understanding model specific features. Check out guides on how to physically set up your Thiamis, and how to add a sensor in Environet.
Quest SoundPRO Special Requirements
The Quest SoundPro requires the serial connector cable (TSI part number 053-729) which plugs into the auxiliary port and converts it to a RS-232 serial port.
Note: The images in this article show an older Thiamis, but the setup is the same for modern Thiamis devices. The only difference is that all USB-A ports have been replaced with USB-C ports on the modern devices.
Setup Instructions:
Connect power to the Thiamis, there are two options:
Connect a 12V power supply to the 3 pole Euroblock connector
Connect a 5V power supply to either of the USB ports
Plug the adapter cable into the SoundPro's auxiliary serial port, on the bottom of the sensor.
Connect the other end of the cable directly to the RS-232 port on the Thiamis.
Note: When using a splitter cable, note which sensor is connected to each letter port for configuring in Environet when Adding Sensors
Errors
If the SoundPro is not reporting, check the Thiamis configuration page for any listed Errors. Errors can be found in Sensor Configuration section of the Thiamis Configuration Page, and will be highlighted in RED.
