8 Installation
guide
8.1 Mounting:
•
Test the GSM signal strength with your mobile phone. It may happen that the
signal strength is not sufficient in the desired mounting place. In this case you can
change the planned installation place before you mount the device.
•
Do not mount the unit in places where it can be affected by strong electromagnetic
disturbances (e.g. near electric motors, etc.).
•
Do not mount the unit in wet places or places with high degree of humidity.
•
As the module will be installed in a metal housing, drill a hole on the metal housing
for the FME connector. Choose the drill size appropriate for the FME base part. Fix
the FME base with the enclosed screw nuts into the housing. Ensure that the FME
base and the metal housing has galvanic connection.
•
In case of using a plastic housing the module can be entirely placed inside.
•
Connecting the antenna: antenna can be connected to an FME-M connector. The
antenna supplied with the module provides good transmission under normal
reception circumstances. In case of occasionally occurring signal strength
problems or/and wave interference (fading), use another (directed) type of antenna
or find a more suitable place for the module.
8.2 Putting into operation
•
Disable PIN code request on the SIM card to be placed in the module. (
Do not
disable PIN request if "FIX SIM" function is set !!!
)
•
The caller number identification function must be enabled by the GSM service
provider on the SIM card (a few types of SIM cards do not have this function
enabled by default).
•
Check the SIM card to be placed into its case properly.
•
Check the antenna to be fixed properly to the GPRS Pager3.
•
Check the wires to be connected as earlier instructed.
•
The device can be powered up. If the module is used as an auxiliary transmission
device besides an alarm control panel then make sure that power supply is
sufficient at the load of both the control panel and the Pager. The quiescent current
of the module is 100mA, however it can reach up to 500mA during communication
.
