POWER & CONTROL CONNECTIONS
REAR connection points on the ControlMate module
The rear of the controller module contains –
The modem and SIM card holder. Under the edge of the modem, there is a RED power LED,
and a BLUE network LED… these are control led by the software.
The cellular antenna may be attached directly to the modem, or an external antenna with a
longer cable may be fitted in low-signal areas.
The
DC power supply input (nominally 12-15 volts DC polarity protected)
2-way 5.08mm
Using 24V directly into the ControlMate requires a voltage regulator
(supplied free upon request). Where possible, use a clean 12-15V source,
or an external regulator to reduce the 24V source down to 12-15VDC
This 24V regulator is available to drop local 24V down to 12-15V for the controller
A 6-pin header is provided for factory use only - do not connect to this point.
The
soft-restart button . This does not affect the controller hardware reset pin, which is only
available on the console connector (below).
Holding this button for 5-seconds during power-on/reset will CLEAR ALL USER CONFIGURATION SETTINGS to
default values. The LCD and console session will display warnings if a clear-all is about to take place.
Under a ‘normal’ soft -restart EEPROM values (counters, output states etc.) are saved before all power-fail, or soft
restart events. Soft-restart only functions whe n the controller is ‘running’.
(( Only a hardware reset will reset the unit without saving the current volatile states, counter. They will return to
their most recently saved value at the next power-on cycle. ))
You can also see the green
‘ activity ’ LED, and red ‘attentio n ’ indicators .
A
‘ console’ connector for use with a PC or terminal via USB or serial
connection. TTL levels @ 115200-8-N-1
Pins:
1=0V / 2=  RxD / 3=TxD → / 4=DTR/  Reset / 5=+5V → @ max 200mA
A 10-way IDC ribbon-header for the
LCD and LED ribbon cable .
