Hardware iModem
The iModem is delivered in aluminium-form housing with degree of protection IP 65. A fixed online cable
provides connection to a data logger. Depending on online port type at the data logger, an infrared or R232
interface is provided. PC connection to data logger and iModem is done via online port of the iModem. A
correct power supply must be provided for connection to a data logger or to an iModem respectively. For this
purpose, there are different options provided.
1. Battery:
The modem can be equipped both for bypassing power failure periods and for power supply only. The battery
BP16.5N5L is provided as standard since version iModem5 was introduced. This type supplies necessary
operating current for GSM/GPRS connection and has no effect of passivation.
The iModems as of generation
5 have built-in SuperCaps. The data logger battery type BP16.5N5 is used in this case too.
2. External voltage:
Depending on type, the modem can be supplied with external voltage between 12 and 14 volt. Normally, the
device is operated by a 12 V mains adapter. Combined with a lithium battery, an uninterruptible supply can be
ensured. A backup battery, however, ist not necessary for operating the modem. Any parameter, necessary
for operation, is saved in non-volatile memories. Date and time are taken from connected data logger.
3. Accumulator:
Power supply for mobile applications is also possible by accumulator (separate manual).
The reasonable adjustment of time slots allows economical operation of devices and long battery
life. On
request, a life estimation will be made by the Paul Wegener GmbH.
