3.0 General
3.1 Description
The Ulyser is a battery-powered receiver for acoustic signals with a frequency of 5 to 50 kHz. The
Ulyser receives the acoustic signals via an integrated microphone. The received signals are optically
displayed via a blinking symbol and acoustically via an integrated loudspeaker. With a Ulyser a
functional test of a ULD / LF-ULD can be performed. The Ulyser measures the battery voltage and
reads out data of the ULD / LF-ULD. This data can be analysed with a special software.

The Ulyser meets the requirements of the EU-Directives for CE marking.

6.0 Test Procedure

6.1 General
Clean the water switch pins of the ULD / LF-ULD with a soft cloth and a mild detergent before each
test of the ULD / LF-ULD, and dry them carefully with a clean cloth. The Ulyser is a sensitive
instrument. Therefore, it is to be protected from moisture and destruction.

Note: Surrounding sounds can affect the measurement by triggering an acoustic signal.

Note: The Ulyser turns off automatically 2 minutes after the last operation, data of the last readout
remains recorded under normal conditions (e.g. battery level not low) on the Ulyser.

6.2 Functional Test and Readout ULD

Perform the following steps for the functional test with the ULD:

Step 1: Plug the activation cord to the

USB port.

Step 2: Turn the Ulyser on by pressing

the on / off button until the start
screen appears.

Step 3: Press the measurement button

to start the functional test.

Step 4: Connect both jacks with the

correct poles of the ULD. Note
the correct orientation of the
ULD (see figure 23, 24, 25). Figure 23: Functional Test with an example ULD

Note: The error message “Check polarity retry in 66 sec” appears when the poles
have been inverted. In this case the ULD is also activated. The value time of 66
seconds is necessary because the ULD is in the service operation mode. The next
measurement can be performed when the ULD drops back into the sleep mode.

Step 5: The measurement process for the functional test starts automatically. The process
bar is displayed and the ULD is activated. Successfully measuring is confirmed by a
single beep, the Ulyser automatically switches to the measurement screen. Now the
jacks can be removed.

Note: The error message “Reading incomplete retry in 66 sec” appears when
contact is lost during measurement or the readout has failed. The ULD is activated.
The value time of 66 seconds is necessary because the ULD is in the service
operation mode. The next measurement can be performed when the ULD drops
back into the sleep mode.

Step 6: The acoustic signal which the activated ULD emits can be checked with the Ulyser.

Note: The Ulyser has to be held in the direction of the ULD to prevent losing the
acoustic signal (see figure 26).

Step 7: The functional test is successful when the “signal ok” icon (see figure 18) appears,
the Ulyser has received three valid pulses.

Note: To be sure, that the ULD switches back to the “sleep mode”, wait until the
pulse symbol on the display disappears and the audible pulse repetition of the
Ulyser stops.

6.3 Functional Test and Readout LF-ULD

Perform the following steps for the functional test with
the LF-ULD:

Step 1: Plug the activation cord for LF-ULD in the

USB port.

Step 2: Turn the Ulyser on by pressing the on / off

button until the start screen appears.

Step 3: Press the measurement button to start

the functional test.

Step 4: Connect the plug with the correct poles of

the LF-ULD. Note the correct orientation of
the plug (see figure 27, 28).

Note: The error message “Check polarity retry in 66 sec” appears when the poles
have been inverted. In this case the LF-ULD is also activated. The value time of 66
seconds is necessary because the LF-ULD is in the service operation mode. The next
measurement can be performed when the LF-ULD drops back into the sleep mode.

Step 5: The measurement process for the functional test starts automatically. The process
bar is displayed and the LF-ULD is activated. Successfully measuring is confirmed by
a single beep, the Ulyser automatically switches to the measurement screen. Now
the plug can be removed.

Note: The error message “Reading incomplete retry in 66 sec” appears when

activated. The value time of 66 seconds is necessary because the LF-ULD is in the
service operation mode. The next measurement can be performed when the LF-ULD
drops back into the sleep mode.

Step 6: The acoustic signal which the activated LF-ULD emits can be checked with the
Ulyser.

Note: The Ulyser has to be held in the direction of the LF-ULD to prevent losing the
acoustic signal (see figure 29).

Step 7: The functional test is successful when the “signal ok” icon (see figure 18) appears,
the Ulyser has received three valid pulses.

Note: To be sure, that the LF-ULD switches back to the “sleep mode”, wait until the
pulse symbol on the display disappears and the audible pulse repetition of the
Ulyser stops.

7.0 ULD Report Creator

7.1 Setup ULD Report Creator
To transfer the readout data from the Ulyser to the PC, the ULD Report Creator needs to be installed
on the PC. The software is provided as zip-file by e-mail. Uninstall an old software version before
installing a new software version.

Note: The ULD Report Creator Software requires a computer with Window 7 or higher and
“Microsoft.NET Framework 4.6.1” or higher as minimum system requirements.

Perform the following steps to setup the ULD Report Creator:

Step 1: Start the ULD Report Creator.

Step 2: Fill in the fields marked in red with your company data (see figure 30).

Figure 30: ULD Report Creator: Your Company Data

Step 3: It is possible to upload an own company logo for the test

report (see figure 30):

Note: At the next software start, the entered data will be displayed again.

8.0 Maintenance
This paragraph contains instructions for the battery replacement of the Ulyser and information on
the annual works test.

8.1 Battery Replacement

The Ulyser contains a button cell lithium battery Type CR2032. The battery is not rechargeable.

As soon as the Ulyser has a low battery level, the following icon appears on the screen. The
battery needs to be replaced.

The used battery should be disposed of in accordance with all local, state and federal
regulations.

Note: The low battery screen is only displayed after the start screen (see chapter 4.3.8) when the
Ulyser is turned on. Then as usual the Ulyser automatically switches to the start menu.

Perform the following steps to replace the battery:

Step 1: Clean the Ulyser with a soft, anti-static and dry cloth.

Step 2: Wear an ESD grounding wristlet to protect the electronic.

Step 3: Remove the silicone sleeve.

Step 4: Open the battery cover on the back side of the Ulyser.

Step 5: Replace the battery. Attend to the correct polarity when

inserting the new battery (plus pole above).
Figure 35: Battery Cover

Note: Incorrect installation of the battery might

cause a damage to the Ulyser electronics.

Step 6: Discard the used battery.

Note: Discard used batteries according to all local, state

and federal regulations. Whenever you do not know how
to discard them, contact your local electronics store or
waste management company.
Step 7: Close the battery cover and mount the silicone sleeve.
