For best results, it is advisable to place it high up and free from any metallic obstacle within a radius of 1 meter if possible (see figures below). For information, the antenna is integrated into the box. ATIM_ACW-TCR_UG_EN_V1.0...
c. Identification The Sigfox or LoRaWAN product identifier is visible on the exterior label on the back of the device, on the electronic card inside and in the status bar in the ACW configuration tool. For LoRaWAN modems, the communication keys are automatically provided by the network (pairing via ‘Over The Air Activation’, or OTAA).
Operating a. Operating mode The operating of the ACW-TCR 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.
b. Product start up In most cases, the ACW-TCR 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 diamond-shaped marking on the box for 6 seconds.
f. Threshold exceeded When thresholds have been configured using the configurator and the measurement values exceed these thresholds, the product LED emits a periodic ORANGE flash to notify it. g. Anti-fraud system A mechanism (push button) is present on the product to notify any opening of the case during normal operation. Normally, the box exerts pressure on the button.
V5.1.0 or greater 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 du ACW-TCR 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).
Frame timestamp It is possible to enable / disable the timestamp in all radio frames (5). WARNING: This option when activated monopolizes 4 bytes in the frame which cannot be used for useful data. Product’s clock Each time you connect to the configurator, the product clock is updated (based on the computer clock) and displayed (6).
c. Factory settings Radio frame settings Emission period of a radio frame: 10 minutes Number of samplings: 1 History depth: 1 General settings Emission period of the keep alive frame: 4 days Timestamp: disabled Sensor’s configuration Probe 1 (physical) State: enabled Threshold: disabled Probe 2 (virtual): State: enabled...

These values are defined as follows: Value Description 0x00 Return in the comfort zone Upper threshold crossing 0x01 0x02 Lower threshold crossing 0x03 Reserved The measurement type field here is identical to that of the measurement frame (i.e. 0x08 or 0x09 in hexadecimal for the ACW-TCR).

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.
