b. Mounting to a support ACW modems can be mounted on a flat wall, a tube or pole or a DIN rail, depending on the type of installation you require. These three types of support frames attach to the rear of the housing. Mounting on a flat wall (provided): Mounting on flat wall (provided) Installation on a tube...
d. Opening the ACW housing The housing must be opened to access both the terminal block and the mini- USB port used to configure the module. To do this, insert a screwdriver into the slot and tilt it downward to lift the inside tab (see photo).

Operating a. Operating mode The operating of the ACW-TMxP deals with several modes: Exploitation 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, cf.
Even if no network has been reached, it is assumed with this mode that an ATIM LoRa / LoRaWan repeater located nearby will be able to repeat the Local frames sent by the product in LoRaWan frame on the network that the repeater will have joined.
c. Test frame emission When the product is in its operating mode (and only in this mode), it is possible to send a test frame (which avoids waiting for the next measurement frame) including a measurement sample. To do this, simply bring the magnet closer until the GREEN light signal goes out.
i. 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.
V5.0.1 or later LoRaWAN: V0.0.1 Download and install the configuration software setup “setupACW.exe” at: https://www.atim.com/en/downloading/ When the ACW Configurator is launched, the waiting Click on "Help" at the top left of the window then on window appears on the screen.
b. Configuration of the ACW-TMxP 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).
Compatibility mode with the ATIM FSK / Sigfox Repeater: This mode should be selected when you want to operate in Sigfox, but the network is not accessible. This mode, associated with the ATIM FSK / Sigfox Repeater, then makes it possible to join the Sigfox network through this repeater. In this mode,...
the product transmits these frames both on the Sigfox network and in Local (FSK modulation). The FSK / Sigfox repeater then relays these frames on the Sigfox network (The repeater must be placed in a location where the Sigfox network is accessible). Important note: If the product has access to the Sigfox network, the default operating mode (Sigfox) must be used.
Validation the configuration After having filled all the configuration parameters, it is imperative to click on the button "Apply to ACW" to send the configuration to the product (12). It is also possible at any time to read the current configuration of the product which will update the parameters on the configurator or to reset the default configuration of the product.
d. Update of ACWs When connected with Bluetooth Low Energy to the product, it is possible to update the different software that composes it. To do this, go to the menu Tools->Updater (CTRL+U ATIM_ACW-TMxP_UG_EN_V1.0...

In the case of ACW-TMxP, the type of measurement can take three values: • 1 in decimal (0x01 in hexadecimal) for the input state. • 4 in decimal (0x04 in hexadecimal) for a counting channel. • 8 in decimal (0x08 in hexadecimal) for a temperature channel. A temperature measurement will be expressed in hundredths of °...
The type of alert field is used to identify whether it is a breach of the high threshold, the low threshold or a return between the thresholds. WARNING: A threshold alert can only be triggered by a temperature channel. These values are defined as follows: Value Description 0x00...

For each error message, a header is inserted and is formed as follows: Error frame header Bit7 Bit6 Bit5 Bit4 Bit3 Bit2 Bit1 Bit0 Message index Length of the error frame The message index field is used to prioritize messages when several errors occur. The length of the error message field indicates the size in bytes of the error message.
0x9B ERR_SENSORS_FAIL The sensor has stopped to operate 0x9C ERR_BOX_OPENED Casing opening 0x9D ERR_BOX_CLOSED Casing closing Only codes 0x8A and 0x95 are followed by additional data corresponding to the battery level in millivolts. This value is coded in two bytes, the most significant byte first (MSB) Warning: for codes ranging from 0x81 to 0x92, the product will enter its FAULT mode and will no longer perform its measurement function.
