How to replace a damaged sensor

What is needed for configuration

  1. Sensor to be configured.
  2. Tablet you want sensor to be configured to
  3. The system number and data tag of the XTMS unit being replaced.
  4. 2 x AA Batteries
  5. Pre-Attached XTMS replacement sensor label

How to configure

  1. Open T24 Toolkit on the tablet that you want to configure the sensor to
    t24 toolkit icon
      1. Press windows start button
      2. Search/ locate folder T24 Toolkit
        toolkit location
      3. Open T24 Toolkit

  2. Remove the Lid of the transmitter.
      1. Make sure no batteries are fitted.
      2. Press “Pair” you then have 10 seconds to insert both batteries to enter pairing mode it should then connect to the T24 Toolkit

  3. Select “advanced settings”
    t24 menu advanced settings
      1. configure the data tag to the same as the sensor being replaced
        t24 advanced settings 2
        011B
        These numbers can also be found on the top label on the transmitter case as shown above or the side of the sensor or transmitter under SYS:Example: SYS: 13299B061B where 13299B is the system number and 061B is the sensor number and type.
        If you are configuring a sensor replacing 061B roller tip sensor the “Data Tag” field below will need to be changed to “061B” or if you are configuring a sensor replacing 032A pressure transducer the “Data Tag” field below will need to be changed to “032A”

        Sensor info

        Sensor Sensor Number Sensor Type
        50mm Rodend 01 to 16 1C
        Roller tip 01 to 08 1B
        5K PSI pressure 01 to 10 2A
        Phototach 01 4B

  4. Then select “Radio Settings”
    t24 menu radio settings
    1. Set the Group key to the system number.

    System numbers can be found on top of the XTMS Tablet Case, on the back of the XTMS tablet or printed on the sensor transmitter under the SYS: number.

    Example: SYS: 13299B061B where 13299B is the system number and 061B is the sensor number and type.
