_________________________________________________________________________________ 1 Mechanical Description 1.1 Overview The pictures below show the mechanical design of the GT864-QUAD/PY Terminal along with the positions of the different connectors and mounting holes. The GT864- QUAD/PY Terminal case is made of durable PC/ABS plastic. mounting...
CEP AG Revision 1.2 _________________________________________________________________________________ Mounting holes positioned at two of the corners make it possible to securely bolt the modem into your application. Keypad, display, microphone, speaker and battery are not part of the modem. The SIM card is mounted in the modem, accessible by the user under a lid without any tools.
CEP AG Revision 1.2 _________________________________________________________________________________ 2 Electrical Description The modem uses the following industry standard connectors: RJ11 6-way (power connector) Mini USB (audio- / IO- connector) SIM card reader FME male coaxial jack (antenna connector) Sub-D female socket, 9 pin (RS232 serial port) 2.1 Power Connector...

<= 2:1 2.4 SIM card reader The GT864-QUAD/PY Terminal is fitted with a SIM card reader designed for 3V SIM cards. It is the flip-up type which is lockable in the horizontal position and is accessed through a removable panel.
CEP AG Revision 1.2 _________________________________________________________________________________ Data Set Ready (DSR) An active DSR signal is sent from the modem to the application (DTE) to confirm that a communications path has been established. DSR has two modes of operation, settable using the AT command AT&S.
The red and yellow Status LEDs are under control of GPIO1 and GPIO2 of the GT864-QUAD/PY modem inside of the Terminal. They can be controlled via at- commands. The default status of these two LEDs is off. The following commands...
CEP AG Revision 1.2 _________________________________________________________________________________ Switching off GPIO2 at#gpio=2,0,1 These LEDs can be controlled e.g. by an external microcontroller via at-commands issued to the terminal via the serial RS232 interface. They can be used for signalling any useful status of the external application such as: error indication status of communication (GPRS, SMS, CSD, etc.)
4.2 General precautions The GT864-QUAD/PY Terminal as a stand alone item is designed for indoor use only. To use outside it must be integrated into a weatherproof enclosure. Do not exceed the environmental and electrical limits as specified in “Technical Data”.
CEP AG Revision 1.2 _________________________________________________________________________________ Note: CEP AG may refuse warranty claims where evidence of product misuse is found. 4.3 SIM card precautions Before handling the SIM card in your application, ensure that you are not charged with static electricity. Use proper precautions to avoid electrostatic discharges.
In determining the location for the modem and antenna, you should consider signal strength as well as cable length 5.1.3 Connections of components to GT864-QUAD/PY Terminal The integrator is responsible for the final integrated system. Incorrectly designed or installed, external components may cause radiation limits to be exceeded.
Where access is restricted, it may be easier to connect all the cables to the modem prior to securing it in the application. Securely attach the GT864-QUAD/PY Terminal modem to the host application using two 3mm diameter pan-head screws 5.3 Antenna 5.3.1 General...
