PLICSMOBILE T81/B81/S81 • External GSM/GPRS/UMTS radio unit

55234-EN-170206

step, the parameter protection, the change of the instrument settings 

can be blocked.

With activated Bluetooth access, connection to the instrument is 

only possible if the respective Bluetooth access code is known. This 

numerical access code (6-digit) is stored in the instrument and can 

be read out and modified via DTM. In addition, the code is listed in 

the accompanying documents available in the scope of delivery. With 

activated Bluetooth access, the access code must be entered only 

once per adjustment tool because it is automatically stored with the 

first connection to the adjustment tool.

Information:

As a default setting, access protection is deactivated. To prevent from 

unauthorized change of the instrument data, the Bluetooth access 

protection and the following parameter protection should be activated. 

As an alternative, the Bluetooth function can be deactivated via the 

switch in the instrument.

With parameter protection activated, the modification of device 

parameters is blocked. By entering a numerical device code (four to 

ten digits), the device is temporarily unlocked for a parameter change. 

After 60 minutes without any adjustments being made, the instrument 

is locked again automatically. Parameter protection is deactivated by 

default.

7.4  Mobile network and SIM card

An activated SIM card (Mini-SIM format) with data transmission op-

tion is required for setup.

Information:

The SIM card does not belong to the standard scope of delivery of 

the device. To avoid roaming costs, the card should be bought in the 

country in which the PLICSMOBILE T81 is installed and operated. If 

you are using a VEGA Ident Card, you don't have to worry about this 

because no roaming costs are charged.

To make the measured value transmission and remote maintenance 

as simple as possible, VEGA offers the service package "

Wireless 

data transmission

". This package includes an Ident Card (SIM card in 

Mini-SIM format) that covers all data transmission costs and provides 

worldwide 24-hour support.

Incoming data connections (PLICSMOBILE) can only be established 

if the SIM card used supports GPRS. Incoming data connections are 

used for remote parameter adjustment via VEGA service.

Information:

When the power saving mode is activated in PLICSMOBILE, it cannot 

be contacted for remote parameter adjustment during the inactive 

time. During the active time (during a data transmission), incoming 

connections are accepted and maintained independent of the power 

saving mode until the connection is terminated.
