The CERNO 4.0 is a modular device made up of a CERNO Controller and a minimum of one CERNO Module. If you need to measure more than six bands during a Walk Test or Drive Test, you can cascade CERNO Modules together.
Assembling the Cerno
Mount CERNO Controllers and Modules Together
Each CERNO Controller is equipped with mounting holes on its back. Each CERNO Module is equipped with both mounting holes and mounting pins.
Line up the mounting pins of a CERNO Module with the mounting holes of an existing CERNO Controller or Module.
Insert the mounting pins and slide upwards until you hear a click.
Simply repeat the process with the rearmost CERNO Module when cascading multiple Modules together.
Connecting Ethernet
Connect an ethernet cable between the CERNO Module and the Module/Controller it is mounted to.
Each CERNO Controller or CERNO Module has two Cat 6 ethernet ports, allowing multiple Modules to be cascaded, in series, controlled from one CERNO Controller.
The CERNO Controller's second ethernet port allows for interfacing to the device via ethernet instead of Wi-Fi when necessary. Either of the two ethernet ports may be used for either function.
Releasing Mounting Locks
Look for the orange mount-release button on each CERNO Module/Controller.
To release, hold down the mount-release button and slide the module downwards.
Tip: It is best practice to disconnect the ethernet connection between relevant CERNO modules/controllers before releasing mounting locks.
Mounting to Backpack
1. Prepare Modules
Ensure all CERNO Modules are correctly mounted and connected to each other and the CERNO Controller.
2. Attach to Backpack
Line up the backpack's pins with the mounting holes of the outermost Cerno Module.
Insert the pins and slide upwards until you hear a click.
3. Release from Backpack
Hold down the mount-release button on the outermost module. Be prepared to support CERNO upon release if releasing vertically, as shown in below video.
