1.6 Connecting the power supply and starting the module
The module may be powered from the control panel, from an expander with power supply, or
from a power supply unit with current limitation up to 3 A. SATEL offers power supplies (e.g.
APS-612), which can be connected to the APS connector on the electronics board.
The required output current of power supply is at least 250 mA.
1. Depending on the selected method of module powering, connect the power supply unit to
the APS connector or connect the power leads to the +12V and COM terminals (use
flexible conductors with a cross-section of 0.5-0.75 mm
2
, or rigid conductors with a cross-
section of 1-2.5 mm
2
).
Never connect power supply to APS connector and terminals at the same time.
2. Power up the module. The module will start up.
1.7 Connecting the computer to the module
Connect the computer to the module RS-232 (TTL) port. To make the connection, use the
USB-RS converter offered by SATEL. Having connected the computer to the module, you
can:
configure the module by using the GX Soft program. You can download the GX Soft
program from the www.satel.eu website. It can be installed on computers with WINDOWS
VISTA/7/8/10 operating system. See full manual for more information.
update the module firmware (see full manual of the module).
1.8 Installing the SIM card
1. If PIN code is required by the SIM card, use the GX Soft program to program the code.
2. Power down the module.
3. Insert the SIM card into its slot as shown on the enclosure.
4. Power up the module. Logging the telephone into the GSM network may take a few
minutes.
If the module is to send data in GPRS technology, it is recommended that you use SIM
cards with a dedicated tariff plan for M2M (machine-to-machine) communication.
If the programmed PIN code is invalid, the module will report a trouble. Programming
a correct PIN code will clear the trouble.
