SATEL
If the module is to work in conjunction with the STAM-2 monitoring station, connect the
module RS-232 port to the port of computer on which the cards are installed. If the computer
has a RS-232 port, make a connection according to Fig. 6. If the computer has a USB port,
use the USB-RS converter available from SATEL.
1.6 Connecting the power supply and starting the module
The module may be powered from the control panel, from an expander with power supply, or
from a power supply unit. SATEL offers power supplies (e.g. APS-412), which can be
connected to the APS connector on the electronics board.
When the supply voltage drops below 9.8 V, restart of the module occurs.
The required output current of power supply is at least 500 mA (provided that no
device is powered from the module AUX output).
1. Depending on the selected method of module powering, connect the power supply unit to
the APS connector or connect the power leads to the +12V and COM terminals (use
flexible conductors with a cross-section of 0.5-0.75 mm
2
, or rigid conductors with a cross-
section of 1-2.5 mm
2
).
Never connect power supply to APS connector and terminals at the same time.
2. Power up the module. The module will start up.
1.7 Connecting the computer to the module
Connect the computer to the module USB MINI-B connector. Having connected the computer
to the module, you can:
configure the module by using the GX Soft program. You can download the GX Soft
program from the www.satel.eu website. It can be installed on computers with WINDOWS
VISTA/7/8/10 operating system. See full manual for more information.
update the module firmware (see full manual of the module).
1.8 Installing the SIM cards
You can install up to two nano-SIM cards in the module.
1. If PIN code(s) is / are required by the SIM card(s), use the GX Soft program to program
the code(s).
2. Power down the module.
3. Insert the SIM card / cards into the socket / sockets (Fig. 7).
Fig. 7. Installing the nano-SIM card.
4. Power up the module. Logging the telephone into the GSM network may take a few
minutes.
If the module is to send data in GPRS technology, it is recommended that you use SIM
cards with a dedicated tariff plan for M2M (machine-to-machine) communication.
If the programmed PIN code is invalid, the module will report a trouble. Programming
a correct PIN code will clear the trouble.
