1. INTRODUCTION
Due to the innovative design of the CSP Probes, Canberra can now offer the CSP-COM.
CSP-COM modules are communication interfaces compatibles with all the CSP probes. They can be
connected to the rear side of the probes by a locking system without any tools.
They are powered by rechargeable battery and a power level indicator is included. They can be used
while connected to the mains (using the provided charger) or working on battery. The working time
depends on the communication system used.
CSP-COM allows every CSP probe to communicate with a monitor equipped with a compatible receiver
(Survey meter, PC etc. …). The modules can be integrated into any system owned by customer thanks
to the tools provided by Canberra (CSP DLL code 82800, CSPS code 78468).
One of the big advantage is for some of them to be able to work wireless.
These modules are available in several versions :
– Wireless :
Bluetooth (82481)
Wifi (83437)
RF 915MHz (83441) + Supervisor / repeater RF 915 MHz (86289)
– Wired :
Ethernet (83442)
RS485 (83438)

The following procedure outlines the normal operating sequence of the Supervisor/Repeater module.
• For a Supervisor-PC or Repeater-PC, connect the Supervisor/Repeater module to the host
computer USB port using the supplied data communication cable. Note that a Secondary-
Repeater or Supervisor is operated as a standalone module, and would not be connected to a
PC.
• Switch on the Supervisor/Repeater module by pressing and briefly holding the power button until
all four status LEDs turn on.
• If external power is connected to the module, the Blue status LED will turn on briefly and the
Supervisor/Repeater module will indicate its charging status by turning on the appropriate color
LED as follows:
Green = 100% capacity (charge complete)
Orange = less than 99% capacity
Red = less than 10% capacity
USER MANUAL
CSP-COM
CANBERRA Industries
800 Research Parkway
MERIDEN, CT 06450
22 / 26
86338_A
If no external power is connected, all “Battery” and “Link” status LEDs will turn on briefly, followed by
the battery level indicated by a blinking status LED as follows:
Green: greater than 33% capacity
Orange: less than 33% capacity
Red: less than 10% capacity
• The Supervisor/Repeater module will now also indicate its operating mode before it was last
switched off, by turning on the corresponding Red “S” or “R” status LED next to the “S/R” button.
• To change the mode between Supervisor or Repeater operation, press and momentarily hold the
“S/R” button. All “Battery” and “Link” status LEDs will turn on briefly, then the status LEDs will
indicate the battery level or charging status along with the new operating mode. (Note that when
external power is connected, changing the S/R mode will also reset the module back to Charge
mode and it will be necessary to switch power on again. When switched back on, the S/R module
will be in the newly selected operating mode.)
• The Blue status LED will only turn on after a “Start Network” command has been issued by the
host computer and the S/R module has been successfully linked to the network, either by direct
connection to the host computer or through RF link to another S/R module.
• To switch off the S/R module, press and briefly hold the power button again until all four “Battery”
and “Link” status LEDs turn on. After releasing the button, all status LEDS will be off and the S/R
will be powered off.
• If the external power adapter is connected, the S/R module will automatically enter Charge mode
and the charging status will be indicated by a Red, Orange, or Green status LED according to the
battery capacity as described above.
5.4. DYNAMIC SUPERVISOR/REPEATER MODULE CONNECTIONS
The network allows for removal and insertion of Repeater modules if necessary to extend the
communication range of the system. The sections below describe the response of the system and the
required user interaction for different configurations and events.
5.4.1. Installing or Removing Repeater Modules
In a system utilizing at least one Repeater module (Repeater-PC) and a Supervisor module, the
communication link established between CSP-COM devices and the Supervisor module is not affected
by adding or removing the Repeater-PC or Secondary-Repeater modules. All communication data for
the system is stored in the Supervisor, which will remain linked with the CSP-COM devices. Data flow
from the CSP-COM devices to the host computer will be momentarily interrupted if a Repeater module
is removed, but system operation will restore itself automatically once the communication chain has
been re-established.

5.4.1.1. Removal of a Repeater-PC or Secondary-Repeater Module
• Follow the steps in section 5.3 above to switch off and remove either a Secondary-Repeater or
Repeater-PC module.
• All Repeater modules between the computer and the Repeater that has been removed will
remain in the network, and their Blue “Link” status LEDs will stay on. All Repeater modules after
this point, along with the Supervisor, will become disconnected and their “Link” status LEDs will
turn off.
5.4.1.2. Insertion of a Repeater-PC or Secondary-Repeater Module
• Follow the steps in section 5.3 above to install a new Secondary-Repeater module.
• The Blue “Link” status LED of the newly installed Secondary-Repeater module will turn on to
indicate when it has been successfully synchronized and linked to the network.
• If any downstream Repeaters and the Supervisor had been previously disconnected, their Blue
“Link” status LEDs will turn back on once the have automatically reconnected to the network.
5.4.2. Installing or Removing Supervisor Modules
In a system containing only a Supervisor-PC module, it is not possible to insert additional Repeater
modules once the system is in operation without restarting and reconfiguring the system to some
extent. In this case, proper functionality of the system requires the system operating data and CSP-
COM communication table stored in the Supervisor to be reset. This occurs whenever the serial data
cable is disconnected from the Supervisor-PC, and the role of the module changes from Supervisor-PC
to standalone Supervisor.
5.4.2.1. Removal of a Supervisor-PC or Supervisor Module
• Follow the steps in section 5.3 above to switch off and remove either a Supervisor-PC or
Supervisor module.
• Any Repeater modules in the system will remain connected in the network, and their Blue “Link”
status LEDs will stay on. The Supervisor however will become disconnected from the network
once it has been switched off, and all system data in the Supervisor will be lost.

5.4.2.2. Insertion of a Supervisor-PC or Supervisor Module
• Follow the steps in section 5.3 above to install a new Supervisor module.
• To restart the CSP-COM network, there are three possible procedures:
a) Shutdown and restart all the CSP-COM devices. Place the Supervisor module into network
scan/search mode, then scan and connect all CSP-COM devices, as described above. This
solution is the most straightforward, but may require a significant length of time if the system
contains a large number of CSP-COM devices.
b) If all of the identifiers of the CSP-COM devices previously connected are known are still
stored in the PC , the following procedure may be used: Place the Supervisor module into
standby mode. Send a “connect” frame from the PC to each CSP-COM previously connected.
This solution is quick, but requires that the PC has stored the identifiers of the connected
CSP-COM devices.
c) Change the network number ID of the new Supervisor and all of the Repeaters in the system.
This solution requires the reconfiguration of all the Repeaters and Supervisor, and imposes
the retrieval of all of the deployed modules. It is therefore only practical in a network which
contains only one or two Repeaters maximum.
5.5. ENABLING THE PROGRAM MODE
The following procedure outlines the steps necessary to change the internal firmware of the
Supervisor/Repeater module.
• Connect the S/R module to the host computer USB port using the supplied data communication
cable.
• Switch on the S/R by pressing and briefly holding the power button until all four “Battery” and
“Link” status LEDs turn on.
• Press and hold the power button again until the Green status LED blinks rapidly, and the Red “S”
or “R” status LED turns off. This indicates that the S/R is now ready to receive a firmware change
through the computer connected to the serial data connector.
• When programming is completed, press and briefly hold the power button again until all four
“Battery” and “Link” status LEDs turn on. The S/R module will now return to its normal operating
mode, and the status LEDs will indicate the battery level or charging status along with the present
operating mode.
• To switch off the S/R module, press and briefly hold the power button again until all four “Battery”
and “Link” status LEDs turn on. After releasing the button, all status LEDS will be off and the S/R
module will be powered off.
5.6. CHARGING THE BATTERY
The following procedure outlines the steps to charge the S/R internal battery. Note that it is possible to
interrupt the charging process at any time by disconnecting the external power adapter, and no damage
to the internal battery will result.
• Connect the supplied AC/DC power adapter to the S/R, and connect the adapter to a 100-240V
50/60Hz outlet using the appropriate plug.
• The S/R will automatically begin charging its internal battery, and will indicate the charge status
with the appropriate color LED as follows:
Green = 100% capacity (charge complete)
Orange = less than 99% capacity
Red = less than 10% capacity

• When charging is complete, the Green LED will turn on and the external power adapter may be
disconnected.
5.7. NOTES ON COMMUNICATION OPERATIONS
Supervisor must not be turned off once communicating with CSP-COM, otherwise entire network must
be restarted.
Blue status LED must remain on at all times – if LED turns off, indicates communication fault.
If software is closed, Supervisor will continue to communicate with CSP-COM – it is not required to re-
scan and re-start network.
Connection or disconnection of data cable will force reset of S/R microcontroller.
