Below you'll see the step by step process for setting up the Manta2 water probe 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.
In the examples below we utilize the Aethair Node Enclosure. For more information about the Node Enclosure please contact customer support.
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 three options:
Connect a 12V power supply to the 3 pole Euroblock connector
Connect a 5V power supply to either of the USB ports
When using an Aethair Node Enclosure, connect to the Node's power port
Plug the underwater cable into the Manta2's top port.
Connect the other end of the cable directly to the RS-232 port on the Thiamis or to the Node enclosure's DIN port.
Errors
If the Manta2 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.
Timeout Error
The Manta2 has not responded to the requests made by the Thiamis and has timed out. It will continue to attempt communication but you can run through the general Troubleshooting Sensors steps to address common problems.
