    Figure 1: Connecting the antenna. The use of coaxial cable type RG58 (-1dB / m) is not recommended (high loss) 2.1 Antenna A bad choice of antenna can have considerable consequences on the quality of the radio link. It is important to use a suitable antenna and, if necessary, a low loss cable to place it in a slightly obstructed area.

  • Page 12: Mounting On A Cabinet

    2.1.1 Mounting on a cabinet A.R.M. radio modems can be supplied with a ½ wave whip antenna angled so that the antenna is positioned vertically directly on the modem. This antenna is interesting if A.R.M. is mounted in a plastic box. In this case the antenna must not be placed against a metal plate (bottom plate for example).

    4.3 Repeater function Repeater mode non available Watchdog alarm The validation of the watchdog makes it possible to control the non-reception of radio frame for a given time. At the end of the determined time without radio frame detection, the modem puts its outputs in the fallback position and can activate its alarm output.

  • Page 36: Sigfox Mode

    SIGFOX mode The ARM/SF8-DXXXX modem is already preconfigured to access the SIGFOX network. On power-up or after a reset, the modem sends a first SIGFOX functional frame 10 seconds after the power supply, then returns 20 seconds after a second SIGFOX frame, then 30 seconds after a third frame and then the modem goes into normal operation.
  • Page 37 It is possible to have 4 analog inputs. The detection is done on a predefined variation in a register. The software performs a measurement of the analog inputs every 3 minutes, this time is configurable. If the value exceeds this variation, the software sends a SIGFOX frame. The modem does not go into sleep mode and must remain powered.

  • Page 38: Remark

    Reception current Emission current Standby current Mode Sends cyclic analog inputs It is possible to have 4 analog inputs. The software performs a measurement of the analog inputs every 3 minutes, this time is configurable The modem cyclically sends a SIGFOX frame. The cycle time is 10mn multiple and is configurable by register.
