  • Page 12: Installation And Dismantling

    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).

  • Page 14: Operating

    Configuration mode: this mode is active 5 minutes after the exit of the deep sleep mode and authorizes the configuration of the product in Bluetooth thanks to the PC configurator or to the mobile application ATIM. During these 5 minutes messages are sent by radio every minute (5 "radio frames"), that allows you to check that the product works well, for example after having placed it under a cast iron manhole.
  • Page 15: Putting The Product Into Service

    Putting the product into service Unless otherwise requested, ACW products are delivered with batteries connected and set to "deep sleep" mode. To place the product in its operating mode, hold a magnet against the QRCODE label for 6 seconds. During these six seconds, the product's LED should blink WHITE and then...
  • Page 16: Sending A Test Frame

    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 emitted by the product in LoRAWAN frames on the network that the repeater has reached.
  • Page 17: Anti-Fraud System

    In addition, if the module is connected to a network, an error frame will be sent every 24 hours until its next restart. Substitution to the magnet You can use the push button on the ACW-MR4 card to perform the same actions as the magnet (activate or deactivate the product, activate / deactivate Bluetooth).
  • Page 18: Acw Configurator

    Pairing the ACW-MR4 with the configurator can be done in two ways: • By USB: open the case of the ACW-MR4 and connect it to a computer with a micro-USB cable. • By Bluetooth: make sure that Bluetooth is activated.
  • Page 19: Acw-Mr4 Setup

    ACW-MR4 setup Emission period and samples in the frame The transmission period 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.

    3. Compatibility mode with the ATIM LoRa / LoRAWAN Repeater: This mode should be selected when you want to operate in classic LoRAWAN, but no network (private or operated) is accessible. This mode, associated with the ATIM LoRa / LoRAWAN Repeater, then makes it possible to join the LoRAWAN network through this repeater.

    3. 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).

    Finally, when the input is configured for edge detection, and only in this mode, its current state is indicated on the right (under "Active level"). Metering thresholds setup In the case where an input is configured as a counter, it is possible to activate a threshold detection function allowing to alert by a radio frame that the counter has exceeded a certain value Meters overview When an input is configured as a counter, it is then possible to have a real-time display of the value of the counter and...

    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. The state of the four inputs of the MR4 is on 1 byte, the value of a counter on 4 bytes (Little Endian encoding, LSB first.
