Page 11: 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 12: Installation And Dismantling
Installation and dismantling It is necessary to open the box to 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 dismount enclosure Installation... -

Magnet position The magnet should be positioned on the bottom right corner of the case (when the antenna is on the top left corner) as shown in the following picture: ATIM_ACW-LVL_UG_EN_V1.0... -
Page 14: 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 15: Product Start-Up
Product start-up In most cases, the ACW-LVL is started up before delivery (battery packs already connected) and then placed in deep standby to limit consumption. To place the product in its operating mode, bring a magnet close to the side of the case for 6 seconds. During these 6 seconds, the product LED should flash WHITE and then... -
Page 16: Battery Passivation
Battery passivation The ACW-TMXP incorporates a battery depassivation feature, to limit the phenomenon of battery passivation during prolonged phases of deep standby. This feature is automatically activated as soon as the product goes into its deep sleep mode. The product will then wake up once a day to start the battery depassivation sequence, then the product will automatically return to deep standby. -

Page 18: 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 19: Keep Alive Frame Period
Keep alive frame period A life frame can be sent periodically (6). This frame will raise the supply voltage of the product. The value of this period can be configured from 1 hour to 1 month. By default, the value is set to 4 days. 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. -
Page 20: 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.

- Page 29 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.)
