Mode of operation
The new generation 2020 ACW (Atim Cloud Wireless®) products are all based on the same internal software
(Firmware) and bring interesting new features such as the selection and visualization of their operating mode. To know
the status of the product, you just must pass a magnet briefly (<2 sec) against the QRCODE label or on the Pepper
boxes against the small diamond, which causes the LED indicator of the corresponding color to light up:

Deep sleep mode:
When you take the product out of its packaging, it is by default in this deep sleep mode, which
optimizes the life of the batteries by avoiding their oxidation. The product does not transmit and waits patiently
for you to wake it up.
Network pairing mode:
This mode is active as soon as the product leaves the deep sleep mode and allows the
pairing to a network (automatic in case of battery change).
Configuration mode:
this mode is active 5 minutes after the exit of the deep sleep mode and authorizes the
configuration of the product in Bluetooth thanks to the PC configurator or to the mobile application ATIM. During
these 5 minutes messages are sent by radio every minute (5 "radio frames"), that allows you to check that the product
works well, for example after having placed it under a cast iron manhole. After this period, the product goes into
operation mode and the Bluetooth is deactivated (possibility to reactivate it via Downlink).
Operating mode:
this is the default mode after the product start-up phase. In this mode, the module periodically
sends measurements according to the configuration applied (if the product has never been configured, the
factory configuration applies, see Factory Configuration).
Internal fault mode:
This mode allows the normal operation of the module to be interrupted when a critical
event occurs. The nature of the event can be multiple:
•
Battery empty (Battery voltage < 2.2V)
•
Internal error of the radio module
•
System error
The entry in this mode "Internal fault" is signaled by a
RED
flashing of the LED of the product
If the error does not come from the radio module, the product will send 3 radio frames every 24 hours containing the
error code(s) (see chapter Frame Format for error codes). In addition, the product will emit a warning light depending
on the nature of the event.
Once in this mode, the module must be restarted (by disconnecting and then reconnecting the battery, by Downlink
command or with the magnet) to regain normal operation.
