Value1

setting of initial value of the first port counter (index ”0”)

Value2

setting of initial value of the second port counter (index ”1”)

Send periode

setting of broadcasting period

Measure periode

setting of A/D measurement interval

The

Value1”

parameter is used for setting of the initial (or current) value of internal counter for registration of

gas-meter revolving. After this setting the initial value increases by one unit with each turn of gas-meter mechanical
counter.

The

Value2”

parameter is used for registration of tamper status. Current value of this variable (0/1) shows,

whether the tamper reed-contact is connected or released. Setting of this value has no practical meaning.

The

Send periode”

parameter is used for setting of broadcasting period of regular information messages. Value

of the period should be set in seconds. More detailed description of this parameter and its setting can be found in
paragraph

3.5.3

Commands for setting of timers”.

WARNING!

. Frequency of broadcasting in Sigfox network is under regulation. Each device working in Sigfox

network has assigned its service profile that enables only limited number of broadcasted messages per day. Exceeding
this limit can cause some restriction or sanction from the Sigfox service provider. When setting this parameter,
check whether the setting complies with a service contract, that is valid for configured device.

The

Measure periode”

parameter is used for setting of analog quantities (temperature, voltage..) measurement

interval in seconds. More detailed description of this variable and possibilities of its setting are explained in details
in paragraph

3.5.3

Commands for setting of timers”.

Setting of

Value1” and

Send periode”

variable can be performed by editing (rewriting) of current value

to required number and clicking to

Write” button. The process can be observed by flashing of green LED on

the converter and yellow LED on the module. After each writing of new values

WACO OptoConf” program

automatically re-read actual data from the module, so that if required values will display in the configuration
window at the end (after yellow LED on the module ceases flashing), the process was completed successfully.

In the

lower section of the table

there are current values of external and internal sensors (temperature, volt-

age...). There are following parameters:

Sens. Temperature

current sensor temperature (not applicable)

CPU Temperature

current processor temperature (read only)

Batt. voltage

current battery voltage (read only)

In the non-editable fields

Sens.

Temperature”

,

CPU Temperature”

and

Batt.

voltage”

there are

displayed current values of module sensor temperature (not used), processor temperature and battery voltage.
CPU temperature and battery voltage values are transmitted in each info-message (see description of information
