Page 10: Product Identification
Product Identification The Sigfox or LoRaWAN IDs of the product are visible on the outside label on the back of the product, inside on the electronic card, and in the status section of the ACW configurator. For LoRaWAN modems, the communication keys are automatically given by the network (pairing by "Over The Air Activation", or OTAA). -
Page 11: Installation And Dismantling
Installation and dismantling It is necessary to open the box to access on the one hand the micro-USB port allowing the configuration of the module. To do this, you must unscrew the four screws which hold the top and bottom of the enclosure together. Screws to dismount the enclosure Installation... -
Page 12: Operating
Operating Operating modes The operating of the ACW-LVL is divided between different modes: Operation mode: this is the default mode when starting the product. In this mode, the module periodically sends measurements according to the configuration applied (if the product has never been configured, the factory configuration applies, see Factory settings). -
Page 13: Product Commissioning
During this phase, a WHITE light signal with a fading effect indicates that the search phase is in progress. If the connection is successful, the product will emit an audible signal and a light signal depending on the quality of the network: •... -
Page 14: Bluetooth Enabling / Disabling
Bluetooth Enabling / Disabling The ACW-LVL incorporates Bluetooth to allow configuration and update of the wireless product. Note Bluetooth functions are only accessible from the operating mode. To know the status of Bluetooth, approach a magnet less than 3 seconds at the diamond marking on the box. The light signal indicates the Bluetooth status as follows: •... -

Page 16: Acw-Lvl Setup
ACW-LVL setup Emission period and samples in the frame The transmission period (1) corresponds to the time interval between each sending of a measurement frame. This period can be configured from 10 min to 255 h and its default value is 1 hour. In addition, it is possible to configure the number of samples in a frame (2). -
Page 17: Frame Timestamp
Frame timestamp It is possible to deactivate / activate the time stamping of all radio frames (7) WARNING: This option when activated monopolizes 4 bytes in the frame which cannot be used for useful data. Product clock If the time stamping function is activated, it is essential to configure the internal clock of the product from the configurator, which will retrieve the system clock from the computer to apply it to the product (8). -
Page 18: Factory Settings
Once the configuration is complete, do not leave the module connected via USB. This operating mode is very energy intensive. When you remove the USB link without disconnecting the battery, the module automatically returns to normal operation. Factory settings Radio frames settings: Radio frame emission period: 10 minutes Number of samplings: 1 History depth: 1... -

Page 26: Downlink
The operation of the Downlink is explained in the document ATIM_ACW-DLConfig_UG_FR_v1.4, relating to version V1.2.0 of the ATIM Downlink Protocol (see this document for all parameters and commands common to all products). The parameters specific to ACW-LVL are as follows: Configuration of the frame parameters (sending period, number of samples, etc.) -
