IRS31Pro-UMB Operating Manual V10 / 01.2020 18.5.3 Address Configuration UMB Device-ID and SDI-12 Address are connected, but the different address ranges and the fact, that UMB ID’s are integer numbers, while SDI-12 addresses are ASCII characters, have to be considered. The SDI-12 address is built from the UMB device ID as follows: UMB Device ID 1 (default) corresponds to SDI-12 Address ‘0’ (SDI-12 default). Changing the SDI12 address by SDI12 setting command also modifies the UMB device ID accordingly.
