Prelude This user guide describes the ATIM ACW-MR products functionalities. It explains operating, configuration and installation modes in functions of different use cases. ACW-MR Product line ACW-MR product line regroups different types of radio equipment which allow pulse metering, bang-bang control and fraud detection.

CAPT-ILS1 In addition to the ACW-MR4, there is an industrial detector opening/closing door/window/trap. Coupled with an ACW-MR4, it comes wired and preconfigured for immediate installation. This sensor is generally used for intrusion detection. It is also suitable for monitoring Skydome openings or for checking the presence of objects in their parking area.

Fasteners ACW modems are fixed on a flat wall, a mast or on a DIN rail depending on the type of installation desired. These three types of fasteners are plugged into the back of the case. Fixing on a flat wall (supplied): On tube or mast: DIN rail mounting: Product Identification...
Installation and dismantling It is necessary to open the box to access on the one hand the micro-USB port allowing the configuration of the module and on the other hand to the connection terminal block. To do this, you must insert the screwdriver into the slot and tilt it downwards to lift the internal tab (see photo opposite).
Operating Operating modes The operating of the ACW-MR4 is divided between different modes: Operating 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).
Product start-up In most cases, the ACW-MR4 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.
During these six seconds, the product led will flash in the color corresponding to the operating mode, then the end of the sequence will be indicated by a fade acknowledging that the product has been put on standby. WHITE The magnet can therefore be removed. Radio module activity Any sending of a radio frame is indicated by three brief GREEN...

ACW-MR4 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).
Frame timestamp It is possible to deactivate / activate the time stamping of all radio frames (5) WARNING: This option when activated monopolizes 4 bytes in the frame which cannot be used for useful data. Product clock If the time stamping function is activated, it is essential to configure the internal clock of the product from the configurator, which will retrieve the system clock from the computer to apply it to the product (6).
Factory settings Radio frames settings: Radio frame emission period: 10 minutes Number of samplings: 1 History depth: 1 General settings: Keep alive frame emission period: 4 days Timestamp: disabled Sensors parameters: Inputs 1 and 2 deal with meter 1 and meter 2 respectively Pull up “+”...
Frames format Sigfox and LoRaWAN Uplink frame Byte 1 Byte 2 . . . Byte n Frame header Frame-specific data We can differentiate three types of frames: ⚫ Classic frame; New generation: Very close to the old frames, the difference is that you can activate the timestamp.
Different type of frames: Frame type Size of data Descriptions 0x00 Reserved 0x01 5 bytes Keep alive frame 0x02 0 byte Downlink request for network testing (Only Sigfox) 0x03 8 bytes Reserved 0x04 Reserved 0x05 1 byte Test frame with counter 0x06 Variable (Cfg box) Response to a setup frame.
For each channel, a header is inserted afterwards and is constituted as follows: Channel header Bit7 Bit6 Bit5 Bit4 Bit3 Bit2 Bit1 Bit0 Reserved Numbers of channel Type of measurement In the case of ACW-MR4, the measurement type can be worth 0x01 for the state of the inputs or 0x04 for the value of a counter.
These values are defined as follows: Value Description 0x00 In between thresholds 0x01 Exceeding the high threshold 0x02 Exceeding the low threshold 0x03 Reserved The measurement type field is here identical to that of the measurement frame (ie 0x04 in hexadecimal for the ACW- MR4).

For each error message, a header is inserted and is formed as follows: Error frame header Bit7 Bit6 Bit5 Bit4 Bit3 Bit2 Bit1 Bit0 Index of message Error message length 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.
0x97 ERR_ARM_PAYLOAD_BIGGER Message size is too large for the capacity of the network 0x98 ERR_RADIO_PAIRING_TIMEOUT Impossibility to pair to a network within the fixed period 0x99 ERR_SENSORS_TIMEOUT A timeout has been reached out on the sensor 0x9A ERR_SENSOR_STOP The sensor did not report a value after reading 0x9B ERR_SENSORS_FAIL The sensor has stopped to operate...

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-MR4 are as follows: Configuration of the frame parameters (sending period, number of samples, etc.)
