FAQ

How can I change the measurement modes of the device?

Go to the device hard drive Faros XXX (XXX is model, 90, 180 or 360). From this

hard drive, you can nd the Faros Manager software with which you are able to

change the measurement settings. For further information on how to use Faros

Manager, please see eMotion Faros Series Manual, chapter 3

My Faros sensor does not start, what might cause this

problem?

It is important to remember that eMotion Faros sensor uses the energy of the

battery also when it is on standby mode (“power off” mode). For example, the

device’s inner clock uses the battery also when it is turned off to keep up with

the time. This is why we recommend you to recharge the sensor before every

measurement, or at least when the sensor has been on standby mode for several

days.
