The included adapter cable (approx. 25 cm) connects the module to the antenna. The adapter cable is furnished
with an MMCX/FME mounting plug. The MMCX plug is connected to the module. The FME plug serves to connect
the antenna, and is used as a housing feed-through at the same time. A drill hole with a diameter of 11 mm is
required for the SMARTCONTROL IP 65 to this end.
Connection is established from the Bluetooth compatible PC or notebook to SMARTCONTROL via a “virtual COM
port” [see “SMARTCONTROL Quick Start”].
As a rule, connection and disconnection are automatic when an application initializes the serial port. Experience
has shown that with some drivers the Bluetooth software assigns various COM ports.
Tip:
If you’re using a laptop with integrated Bluetooth adapter, deactivate the adapter and use our
class 1 USB sticks.
The Bluetooth serial connection is now ready to communicate with SMARTCONTROL. You won’t need to make
any further settings in the future.

GSM/GPRS Module
Warning:
A valid PIN must be entered with the help of the SMARTCONTROL Manager before installation
and initial start-up [see the section concerning modems in the SMARTCONTROL Manager
manual]!
If an incorrect PIN is entered, or none at all, the SIM card is disabled automatically after
initialization has been attempted three times!
For this reason, the GSM module is not inserted at the factory as standard equipment. Please check the condition
of the module and make sure that module accessories are complete (module, adapter cable including cable gland,
antenna).
Note:
Never operate the SMARTCONTROL without an antenna if a GSM module is used!
The prerequisites for operation with this module include a contract with a network service
provider and an enabled SIM card.
An antenna must be installed in addition to the GSM module. This antenna is used to
establish contact with the network service provider.
The installation site must also be checked for good reception.
►
If applicable, remove the jumper plugged onto JP5 [see item 23 in section 6. , “Connections Overview,”].
►
The SIM card furnished by the network service provider must be inserted into the GSM module before the
module is installed. The module is then installed to the available socket.
►
Check the specified operating voltage for the GSM module.
