1. INTRODUCTION Transmitter GPRS type LX2NB is an advanced microprocessor device, made with surface moulding technology and designed according to the latest trends. This transmitter is purposed for data transmitting from electronic security systems of facilities and other technical devices with the use of GSM mobile phone network.
Therefore also the parameters as type of the power supply voltage, current consumption as well as the dimensions were introduced for following options separately: Option 1 – Transmitter LX2NB + power supply LX-ZAS in metal/plastic box Option 2 – PCB of transmitter LX2NB Option 1 Option 2 typ.
Switch power off to perform any connection. 3.1. LX2NB TRANSMITTER Figure 1. LX2NB Transmitter with LX-ZAS a) Connections of wires shall be made with due care to prevent any faults or dead shorts. Places of connections shall be protected against weather conditions.
3.1.1. Wireless module antenna connector LX2NB-5R included one internal antenna. It is also possible to connect an external dipole type. 433MHz internal antenna Internal antenna can be used wherever required compact size and antenna provides appropriate coverage level detectors.

Before screw the antenna, remove plastic element from GND socket. Correct install position for dipol antenna in the attached photo below. Figure 3. 433MHz external antenna dipole tipe and correct install position LX2NB Manual v.1.9 Page 10 / 60...
Additionally inputs might be configured as end of line (EOL-NO or EOL-NC) with resistors 2,2kΩ or as double end of line (DEOL-NO or DEOL-NC) with resistor 1,1kΩ. Figure 4. Configuration of input lines LX2NB Manual v.1.9 Page 11 / 60...
3.3. REMOTE CONTROL CONFIGURATION (ONLY LX2NB-5R VERSION) The device in version LX2NB-5R provides 2 additional virtual inputs that can be triggered by radio transmitters. The way of functioning should be configured by GPRS configurator software. Remote control programming procedure Press PROG (B) and hold. After a moment, the red LED STATUS flash. If the button is held longer, the red LED STATUS will flash second time and a third and then stop blinking which would mean the exit from the programming process.

Number of port in server that receives messages from a device <access point name>: defines access point name to GSM network. If private network is used, SMS message shall provide the following parameters: UN=<user ID number> PW=<user password>. LX2NB Manual v.1.9 Page 14 / 60...
Text message on events sent to private phone numbers may be edited. LX2NB transmitter is equipped with input to connect telephone communicator module of alarm control panel. Configuration of transmitter for cooperation with an control panel’s phone communicator requires entering into memory a phone number for which transmitter is to answer.

– since picking up a telephone number dialled with a communicator module is being checked. All programmable parameters are saved in memory and in case of voltage drop that are not lost. Supply of power starts the transmitter with saved settings. LX2NB Manual v.1.9 Page 16 / 60...
6. CONFIGURATION PROGRAM 6.1. INITIAL REMARKS GPRS transmitters configurator may be downloaded at www.ebs.pl (login: ebs, password: ebs) To install program an installation wizard shall be started that performs installation in default place C:\Program Files\EBS\. During installation process shortcuts on screen and Windows menu may be created.
Main menu is available as icons on fast access bar: 6.2.1. File->New Opens new set of parameters. Editing of configuration parameters is possible. Select type of device (LX2NB). 6.2.2. File->Open If file contains saved settings, they may be used to program next device. Firstly a catalogue where file has been saved shall be chosen and then name of file shall be provided.
From this time on program shall enable wires connection with device and reading, and saving of parameters in LX memory will be possible. In the next tab "MINI-PROG" (the name derived from the programmer) you have to also define the connection parameters. LX2NB Manual v.1.9 Page 19 / 60...
On screen the following window shall appear: Define: Name of connection e.g.: Remote Select name of analyzer e.g.: Primary Enter analyzer address e.g.: www.ebs.pl Enter port on which analyzer operates e.g. 9000 LX2NB Manual v.1.9 Page 20 / 60...
