The optional GSM modem offers the advantage of being internally powered and is fully compatible with
the unit. It does not require any special setup.
The 1800/1900 MHz magnetic antenna together with its 2 meter cable is supplied with the internal
modem option. The antenna is intended to be placed outside of the genset panel for the best signal
reception.
The module requires a GPRS enabled SIM card for full functionality. Voice-only type SIM cards will
usually not function properly.
Please refer to GSM Modem Configuration Guide for more details.
LOCATION DETERMINATION VIA GSM
The unit determines automatically the geographical position through the GSM network. No settings are
necessary for this.
This feature is especially useful for the remote monitoring where the controller will appear automatically at
its geo-position or for mobile gensets.
Although the controller supports also GPS location determination for more precise positioning, the GSM
based location is free of charge, available everywhere, even where GPS signal is not available.
The location precision will depend of the GSM
system. In highly populated areas, the precision is
good (a few hundred meters), but rural areas may
lead to errors of a many kilometers.
