EG_GenLoc54e_1040_UG_002_UK Page 35 / 86 5.2 Specific recommendations for use of the modem in vehicles The power supply connector of the modem GenLoc 54e must NEVER be connected directly to the battery of the vehicle. 5.2.1 Recommended connection on the battery of a truck All trucks have a circuit breaker outside the cabin.
Moreover, the internal circuits of the modem are not designed to resist to a current of 60 A (during ignition of the truck), or they would be destroyed. Descriptions and non-contractual illustrations in this document are given as an indication only. ERCOGENER reserves the right to make any modifications. Dct_427_02...
The module is in communication data, voice or GPRS. 5.3.1.4 Owner application The GenLoc 54e contains your application. The led status depends on your parameters. 5.3.2 GPS led of the modem The positioning status of the modem is indicated by the status of the GREEN GPS LED situated on the back side of the modem.
The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER); in this case, if no echo is returned when entering an AT command, it means that: - the "local echo" of your communication software (like Hyperterminal) is not activated, - the echo function of the modem has been deactivated.
5.5 Checking the quality of the GSM reception signal The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER); in this case, the modem will be able to make a call only if the received GSM signal is powerful enough.
The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER); in this case, the PIN code is essential in order to make a call or to accept a response coming from the GSM network. This code is held in the SIM card and can be modified by the user.
The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER); in this case, the reading of a GPS position can be done with the command AT+GPSPOS. This command allows to get the information received of the current position. After powering ON the modem, an acquisition time is necessary (around 45 seconds).

5.10 Main AT commands (HAYES) The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER); in this case, the table below shows the main AT commands necessary for the control of the modem. Other AT commands are available, see the document "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER.
5.11 Turning OFF the modem The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER); in this case, it is strongly advised to un-register from the network with the command AT+COPS=2 There is no particular action to do on the GPS part before turning it OFF.
Page 45 / 86 5.1 Modem updating procedure To be able to benefit from the latest functions of the GenLoc 54e, an updating procedure can be used to upgrade the software program in the modem. This procedure consists in downloading the software into the internal Flash memory of the modem via the RS232 link available on the 9-pin Sub 9 connector.
The modem returns a message "ERROR" (in response to an AT command) in the following cases: ▪ The COM port is not directed to the modem GenLoc 54e but to another modem. Enter ATI, and the response must be LEON-G100-06S-00. Any other response indicates a dialog with another modem. In this case, check the COM port used in the Hyperterminal.
For more information about the error codes returned after having sent the command AT+CEER, see the document "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER. Descriptions and non-contractual illustrations in this document are given as an indication only. ERCOGENER reserves the right to make any modifications. Dct_427_02...

7.3.2.1 Presentation of the internal battery The battery is fixed inside the GenLoc 54e. It is connected to an additional charging circuit cabled on the motherboard of the GenLoc 54e. This battery allows to maintain the GenLoc 54e functioning in case of absence of its external power supply (power supply connected on the Micro-FIT 4-pin female connector).
7.3.2.2 Specifications of internal battery The external power supply of the GenLoc 54e remains unchanged (from +7,2V to 32V DC). The internal regulator of charge supplies the 4.2V voltage necessary for the battery charge. Table 23 : Characteristics of the polymer lithium battery Voltage (max.)
The RS232 interface was designed to allow a certain flexibility in the use of the serial interface signals. In fact, after the setting (see command AT+IFC) if the GenLoc 54e contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER), in this case, the modem can work in 3-wire mode (using only the signals TX, RX, GND), but the use of the signals TX, RX, GND, CTS, RTS is required for a GPRS application.

Page 56 / 86 7.5 Inputs/Outputs functioning The GenLoc 54e provides five Inputs (opto-coupled) with 2 completely insulated, three Outputs (open collector) and two analog Inputs available for an external use. The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER);...
The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER); in this case, these functions are controlled by AT commands. AT+GPIOGET This command is used to read the Inputs. By default, the inputs 1 to 5 are opto-coupled. To read: AT+GPIOGET=<n>...
This signal must be used only in case of emergency RESET. This signal must be driven with an open collector assembly: ● pin 10 (RESET) at 0, for the Reset of the GenLoc 54e, ● pin 10 (RESET) at 1, for normal mode.
To activate the emergency RESET sequence, the RESET signal must be put at a low level during at least 10 A soon as the modem has been RESET, if a SIM card is inserted inside the SIM reader of the GenLoc 54e you must wait for the end of the initialization before accessing it again.
7.10 Audio The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER); in this case, the audio interface is standard to connect an equipment like a telephone handset. The echo cancelation (see command AT+UMGC) and noise reduction features are also available to improve the audio quality in the case of free-hand applications.
