MultiSensor Demo Kit / 2170 Issued: 17/06/2019 / Revised: 24/06/2019
1 Demo Kit Overview
Excelitas Technologies offers a broad digital sensor portfolio. To evaluate those sensors a demonstration kit can
be ordered. The core of the demonstration kit is a USB-to-sensor converter providing a serial interface to a PC.
Each sensor can be evaluated with dedicated Windows software giving access to the basic sensor parameters. The
serial interface protocol is provided on request.
Figure 1: Overview over the Demo Kit Options.

Application Kit
Figure 1 illustrates the selection scheme for the Demo Kit.
The MultiSensor Demo Kit is the basis of the demonstration kit. Depending on the choice of technology (ther-
mopile or pyroelectric sensor) two different so-called Excelitas-BAU (9635 2170 or 9638 2170) numbers were
issued but the product is the same and works with both technologies. Sensors in a TO-can require Adapter Board-
s to be evaluated. Sensors and Adapter Boards need to be ordered separately. SMD sensors are shipped soldered
to the PCB adapter board for your convenience. Please notice that the BAU numbers for unsoldered sensors
are different from those which come with the adapter board. Pyroelectric sensors require a lens for proper
operation. The lens design depends on the requirements and is curtail for the overall performance. For a first
evaluation our PF17 lens may be used for dual sensors (PYD for horizontal/wall mounting) or the D37 lens for
quad sensors in ceiling mounting applications. Please note that those lenses were optimized for a compact de-
sign and not for the maximal distance. Please contact us for further assistance. Sensor Modules are PCB Sensor
assemblies, which are interfaced with the SMBUS Adapter Cable.

2 Software Instructions
To download the necessary software package for the Demo-Kit please go to:
and enter the following account information:
username : irdpub
password : !nfraRedSof1
To download the universal demonstration software for all sensor types, navigate to
In case of the evaluation of a CaliPile, a separate simplified software package exists, which is not included in the
Multisensor Demo Kit software:
In case you are evaluating the CaliPile only, it is sufficient to download only the Calipile Demo Kit soft-
ware. Please proceed to the corresponding subsection, in case you are using the simplified CaliPile software
package.
2.1 Multisensor Demo Kit
Figure 2: It is recommended to execute the installation procedure as an administrator
Download and extract the containing . Then start the containing “setup.exe”
as administrator to install all necessary software components. The actual documentation on how to use the
graphical user interface, troubleshooting and some additional information can be found in the folder
.
Once installation is completed, you can connect the Demo-Kit to your PC. Once your system has found the new
hardware it will be visualized in the device manager as “USB serial port (COMxx)”. If the device is not recognized
by the PC, the USB driver can be found in for manual installation.
The folder contains additional software packages for
manual installation of the necessary runtimes in case something went wrong during the automatic installation.
Finally you will find an entry called “App Launcher”in your “all programs/ all apps”menu which will allow you to
select between the different software packages for the different Excelitas products.
2.2 Simplified CaliPile Demo Kit
In case you omit the installation of the universal Multisensor Demo Kit software, you must install the drivers for
the Kit separately. A copy of the driver is contained in the CaliPile Demo Kit software package but in case you
need an up-to-date copy please download the software drivers for the FTDI hardware from the following website:

3 Hardware Setup
Do not plug the electronic interface to your PC before having the corresponding software installed.
3.1 Setting the Sensor Supply Voltage
Please check the correct supply voltage setting on the board (see fig. 3). It must match the voltage range of the
sensor to be connected. If you are using a 5V module you have to switch the power jumper to the 5V position.
Further the 1.8V position is for sensors and modules with 1.8V power requirements. The default position is
3.3V.
Figure 3: The supply voltage for sensors is selected via a jumper on the Demo Kit board.
3.2 Connection of Demo Kit and Adapter Boards
At first after unboxing the Demo Kit, plug the micro-usb connector to the female jack on the pcb as demonstrated
in figure 4. The 6 way JST connector (S6B-PH-SM4-TB) is connected through the cable (PHR-6 with SPH-002T-P05S
Crimp-contacts) with an external board which in turn houses a digital Excelitas sensor.
Figure 4: The board is equipped with a micro USB connector and a JST connectors to interface Excelitas boards
with sensors.

3.3 Connection of 3 Pin Sensors
If you are using a 3 pin DigiPile sensor or a 3 pin DigiPyro sensor, plug the sensor into the socket on the board as
shown in figure 5. The nose on sensor housing has to correspond with the 3PIN marks on the Adapter Board.
Figure 5: Alignment of TO housing nose with the marking on the board.
3.4 Connection of 4 Pin Sensors
If you are using a 4pin DigiPyro sensor, plug the sensor into the socket on the board as shown in figure 6. The
nose on sensor housing has to correspond with the 4PIN marks on the AdapterBoard.

3.6 Connection of Modules
If you are using a Module with SMBUS interface use the additional Adapter Cable to connect the module to the
Demo Kit. Plug the second white 6way JST-connector into the female jack on the Adapter Cable. Plug the white
4way JST connector on to the Module. For reference refer to figure 8. Please check the correct supply voltage
setting.

CaliPile Demo) you can connect the application set to the PC and the virtal COM port should be recognized by
your system. You may check it in the device manager by pressing the WindowsKey+R and launching it by typing
. A correctly installed device be displayed like in figure 9.
Figure 9: The Demo Kit must be visible as a virtual ComPort in the Windows device manager.
