1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Carefully read these operating instructions completely

before operating this instrument. This is necessary to

avoid damage to it, as well as for user-safety.

• Only use the instrument for the purpose for which it was

designed.

• Only use the instrument in dry rooms in which there is no

risk of explosion.

• Protect Cobra4 Junior-Link from dust, moisture and va-

pours. Use a slightly moist lint-free cloth to clean the in-

strument. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or sol-

vents.

• Only use the experimental set-up for the purpose for

which it is intended.

• Do not open the instrument.

• Supply Cobra4 Junior-Link exclusively via a USB con-

nection (PC or USB hub).

• The present-day state of software development makes it

impossible to guarantee that a product is free of faults.

PHYWE Systeme GmbH & Co. KG therefore does not

take on any liability for damages that occur during the in-

stallation or the use of the instrument.

2 PURPOSE AND CHARACTERISTICS

Cobra4 USB-Link enables communication to be made be-

tween a PC with a USB interface and a Cobra4 Sensor-Unit

(Fig. 2). It is equipped with a D-Sub 15 socket for linkage to

the Cobra4 Sensor-Unit.

Fig. 2: Instrument concept for Cobra4 Junior-Link connection.

The power for the Remote-Link and connected Sensor-Unit is

supplied by the PC.

3 FUNCTIONAL AND OPERATING ELEMENTS

Important: Cobra4 Junior-Link communicates exclusive-

ly with instruments from the Cobra4 product line.

One Cobra4 USB-Link instrument can communicate with a

single PC.

3.1 Sensor interface

The interface for fitting the instrument to the Cobra4 Sensor-

Unit is at the front of it, whereby a mechanically secure click

connection is ensured by the mushroom-shaped click-on

connector and a hole (Fig. 3).

Fig 3: Cobra4 Junior-Link – Sensor interface.

Mushroom-shaped click-on connector 1 for click connection

to the hole 2 in the corresponding counterpart.

3.2 USB Interface for the PC

A hole in the end cap at the front of the instrument leads to a

USB mini-socket (Fig. 4). This serves for data transfer to a

PC.

4 NOTES ON OPERATION

This high-quality instrument fulfils all of the technical re-

quirements that are compiled in current EC guidelines. The

characteristics of this product qualify it for the CE mark.

This instrument is only to be put into operation under special-

ist supervision in a controlled electromagnetic environment in

research, educational and training facilities (schools, universi-

ties, institutes and laboratories).

This means that in such an environment, no mobile phones

etc. are to be used in the immediate vicinity. The individual

connecting leads are each not to be longer than 2 m.

The instrument can be so influenced by electrostatic charges

and other electromagnetic phenomena (HF, bursts, indirect

lightning discharges) that it no longer works within the given

specifications. Carry out the following measures to reduce or

eliminate the effect of such disturbance: Ensure potential

equalization at the PC (especially with Laptops). Use screen-

ing. Do not operate high frequency emitters (e.g. radio

equipment or mobile radiotelephones) in the immediate vicini-

ty. When a total failure of the instrument occurs, unplug the

USB-cable and plug it back in again for a reset.

Sometimes a restart of the PC might be necessary.

This instrument corresponds to Class A, Group 1 of the EN

55011 Standard and can only be operated without limitation

outside of residential areas. Should electromagnetic distur-

bances occur in surrounding residential areas although op-

eration is limited to the technical room of a school or other

training facility, then it can be demanded of the operator that

he carries out adequate measures (e.g. screening, greater

distance, reduction in the operating time) at his own cost.

5 HANDLING

This section describes how to put Cobra4 Remote-Link into

operation and provides an overview of how to handle it. To

avoid failure or improper operation, please read carefully

through this section.

5.1 Putting into operation

First install the necessary driver and operating program on

the PC via the CD that is supplied. To do this, put the “meas-

ure“ CD supplied in the PC and follow the directions.

5.2 Starting the instrument

Plug the wanted Cobra4 Sensor-Unit to the instrument before

connecting it to the PC. After making USB connection to the

PC, the Junior-Link is connected automatically with the PC.

When connection has been made, Cobra4 USB-Link auto-

matically appears with the Sensor-Unit that is plugged to it in

the “measure“ software package and measured values are

immediately displayed.

All further steps, such as recording measured values or

changing measurement parameters, are PC-based and are

therefore not described here.
