• Do not let it fall from height. • Do not use in an environment where any inflammable gases, vapors or dust are present or could be present. • Repair of the device may only be carried out by people, trained for Mobeye ® repair.
In order to activate the device, a few steps are to be followed. First of all, you need to insert a SIM card. With the Mobeye SIM card, the PowerGuard uses the 4G LTE-M network. This network has a strong network coverage, deep penetrability in buildings and also works in remote areas.
Mobeye PowerGuard sends a ‘power restored’ message. - In case one of the inputs is activated by a sensor, the Mobeye PowerGuard sends an alarm message to the Mobeye Internet Portal, to be forwarded to the ‘alarm contacts’.
Mobeye PowerGuard sends a ‘power restored’ SMS text message. - When one of the inputs is activated by a sensor, the Mobeye PowerGuard sends an alarm SMS text message and calls the phone numbers programmed in by the user.
3. GETTING STARTED To get started with the Mobeye PowerGuard, at least the following steps need to be taken in the following order: 1. Open the casing and insert the SIM card 2. Insert the batteries 3. Connect an external power supply 4.
When using the Mobeye SIM card: The Mobeye SIM card is PIN code secured and will only work in a Mobeye device. Please do not place it in another device. When using your own SIM card: An own SIM card has a “micro” format, is suitable for the 2G network and can make calls and send text messages.
If a recovery message after an alarm reset is desired, see 5.7. 3.5 NETWORK CONNECTION AND PROGRAM MODE After placing the batteries (and external power) the Mobeye PowerGuard will search for the network. The outside LED flashes green and red. This process normally takes 10-30 seconds, in a new device this can take some minutes.
Follow the instructions on the screen. You will receive an e-mail to confirm the new account. After confirmation login on the portal. If you do not receive this e-mail, please check your spam box or ask Mobeye (info@mobeye.com). 4.2 REGISTER THE MOBEYE SIM CARD...
4.3 CONFIGURATION AND SYNCHRONISATION The device settings can be programmed in the Mobeye Internet Portal. In this way you prepare the settings, to be picked up by the device. Since the Mobeye device is leading in the communication between the portal and the device, the data synchronisation is done after: 1) any message to the portal (e.g.

Device Settings The device settings can be changed via the Mobeye Internet Portal. To do this, click on the "edit" icon and type in the security code (factory setting is "1111"). See chapter 5 for the description per setting. After saving the new settings, they must be retrieved by the device (synchronized).
4.5 HOW TO ACTIVATE THE POWERGUARD After the previous steps the Mobeye PowerGuard is ready for use. It is armed automatically. In order to switch off (disarm) the PowerGuard: - Press the button at the backside for 1 second. The green LED switches off to indicate the disarmed status.
The security code is back to factory settings as well. The SIM card is now disconnected and is visible on the "Add device" screen. The SIM card can be used again in another (or the same) Mobeye device in combination with the portal.
5. POSSIBLE SETTINGS The Mobeye PowerGuard has many setting options that influence the behaviour of the module. If connected on the Mobeye Internet Portal, the settings are prepared in the portal (see chapter 4). If your own SIM card is used, programming is done via SMS commands (see chapter 6).
It is possible to connect a sensor with an analog output value between 1V and 48V, by placing a resistor or relay between the sensor and the input. For an explanation, see the support page on www.mobeye.com. 5.4 ALARM DELAY TIME The input delay time defines the time that the input is triggered before an alarm is initiated.
"0". 5.10 AUTOMATIC ARMING / DISARMING The Mobeye PowerGuard only works if the unit is armed, which is done via the on/off button. It is possible to automatically arm and disarm the unit, based on an arming and/or disarming time scheme. Two schemes can be...
0 second. 5.13 LOW POWER MODE The low power mode is only important with an externally powered Mobeye PowerGuard. If the (factory) mode is set to “OFF”, the communication module will always have a network connection. When set to “ON” the behaviour is the same as for a battery-powered device;...
Note: in low power mode the module cannot be reached via SMS commands. 5.14 CALL AND/OR SMS (OWN SIM CARDS) When using your own SIM card, by default the PowerGuard will call and send SMS text messages. It is possible to suppress one of these. By turning off the CALL, the unit will only send SMS text messages.
If the PowerGuard is connected to an external power supply, it has continuous network connection and is permanently in program mode. A battery-operated Mobeye PowerGuard switches to the program mode after re-inserting the batteries or pressing the button at the back for 5 seconds.
In chapter 7.1 all possible SMS commands are listed. 6.3 PROGRAM AT LEAST ONE TELEPHONE NUMBER The Mobeye PowerGuard is able to send messages up to 5 telephone numbers. The first telephone number (TEL1) is mandatory. This number will receive, next to alarm message, also system messages such as battery low and keep-alive message.
7.2 HOW TO ACTIVATE THE POWERGUARD After the previous steps the Mobeye PowerGuard is ready for use. It is armed automatically. In order to switch off (disarm) the Mobeye PowerGuard: - Press the button at the backside for 1 second. The green LED switches off to indicate the disarmed status.
The signal strength of the used mobile network can be requested. If the network is weak, it is advised to use a SIM card of another network provider or an external antenna (a Mobeye accessory). The signal strength can be requested by sending following SMS text message:...
7.5 TECHNICAL MESSAGES In the event of technical issues the telephone number programmed in at position 1 (TEL1) receives an SMS message. Possible technical messages are: Message Reason Low batteries, external power Power is available, batteries need to be replaced. supply OK No external power supply, No external power supply, batteries are able to take...
