It is connected to an additional charging circuit cabled on the mother board of the GenLoc 41e. This battery allows to maintain the GenLoc 41e functioning in case of absence of its external power supply (power supply connected on the Micro-FIT 4-pin female connector).
  • Page 38: Charge Voltage And Supply Voltage

    7.2.2.4 Indication of presence/absence of the external power supply The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER); in this case, the command AT+GPIOGET=27 allows to know the status of the external power supply for the internal battery.

    7.4 Inputs/Outputs functioning The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER); in this case, the modem GenLoc 41e provides 3 inputs (opto-coupled) and 1 output (open collector) available for an external use. These functions can be controlled by AT commands: AT+GPIOSET for a writing access to a GPIO with the GPIO used as an output, AT+GPIOGET for a reading access to the GPIO with the GPIO used as an input.

  • Page 45: Microphone Inputs

    The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER); in this case, by default, the GenLoc 41e provides a Buzzer output on output 1 (instead of the DCD) of the 15-pin Sub-D connector. This output provides a PWM output, and is used to drive a Transducer.
  • Page 46: Gps Module

    The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER); in this case, it is possible to use directly the GPS frames via the RS232 (V24). In this case, the internal analog switch allows to transfer the transmission and reception signals of the GPS module directly to the RS232 serial link.
