Using the 3G/GPRS/GSM Module

For more information about installation and specification see document: MAGB2 GPRS-GSM
User Guide.

The meter is sending flow and totalizer information in selected time interval to maximum 3 phone
numbers in form of SMS message and/or GPRS TCP packet to selected IP address and port.

The settings of the SMS and data transfers are done using special GPRS menu in the meter.
The module is capable of sending informations into Arkon.Track.

Warning electrostatic sensitive device.

Any connection or disconnection of any module has to be done with the network power to the
meter switched off.
