2.7 Connecting the antenna
Connect the GSM antenna to the FME-M socket. The device comes with an antenna which
provides good transmission under normal reception circumstances. In case of experiencing
signal strength problems or/and wave interference (fading), use another (directed) type of
antenna or find a more suitable mounting place for the antenna. In case of installing the unit into
a metal box, the antenna should be mounted outside the box in a place where the measured
GSM signal is the highest available.

2.9 Installation
Please check the environment before installing:
Verify 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 the planned installation
place can be changed before mounting the device.
Do not mount the unit in places where it could be affected by strong electromagnetic
disturbances (e.g. close to electric motors, high voltage, etc.).
Do not mount the unit in wet places or places with high degree of humidity.
2.10 Putting into operation
Disable voicemail and notification in SMS about missed calls on the SIM card
installed into the device.
The device
can handle the SIM card’s PIN code. If you wish to use the
PIN code management, c
onfigure the SIM card’s PIN code in the programming
software at the “Settings” section. Otherwise disable PIN code request on the SIM
card.
Enable both caller identification and caller ID presentation (CLIP) service on the SIM
card at the GSM service provider
(these services might not be enabled by default, please
check). To enable these services, install the SIM card into a mobile phone and call the
customer service of the card’s GSM service provider and enable the services in the menu,
or visit one of the
service provider’s personal customer services and ask to enable these
services on the SIM card.
Check the SIM card to be installed correctly into the device.
Check the GSM antenna to be connected correctly to the device.
Check the wires to be connected as instructed in the wiring diagram.
You can power up the device (
12…30V AC/DC). Make sure that the power source satisfy
the consumption of the device. The quiescent current of the device is 120mA, however it
may increase up to 500mA during communication and relay control. If the used power
source is not sufficient for the operation of the device, this may cause malfunctions.
