Electrodes only In this version, the sensor can detect a leak just under itself like in this picture.
c. Localisation and detection cable Using this cable, you can locate the leak by measuring the distance between the device and the leak with a precision of +/- 1m. This cable is available in different lengths: 5m / 7m / 10m / 15m and can be connected to various accessories to monitor several rooms at the same time.
Cable setup Installation examples Jumper cables are unresponsive to water presence Be careful! Never loop a cable on itself nor create contact points with conductive material, it might lead to false- positives! ATIM_ACW-WLL_UG_EN_V1.4...
Operation a. Operating modes - Exploitation mode: This is the standard mode when the devices start. In this mode the devices send radio frames in case of water leaks according to the configuration chosen. (If the device has never been configured, the factory settings are used.
5 minutes of the pairing phase, no network has been reached, then the product emits WHITE light signal and enters its nominal operating mode. 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 ATIM_ACW-WLL_UG_EN_V1.4...
repeat the Local frames sent by the product in LoRAWAN frame on the network that the repeater will have joined. c. Emission of a test frame When the product is in its operating mode (and only in this mode), it is possible to send a test frame including a measurement sample (which avoids waiting for the next measurement frame).
V5.2.2 or more LoRaWAN: V0.0.1 Téléchargez et installez le logiciel de configuration ‘’setupACW.exe‘’ à l’adresse : https://www.atim.com/en/products-configurator/ Configuration The configuration is done via USB or Bluetooth. In case of Bluetooth, the device must be restarted, this one should appear in the devices list on the main page of the configurator. Double click on it to open the ACW-WL related page.

⚫ Mode: Select the sensor used (Electrode or Cable) ⚫ Threshold: Set the sensors threshold for water detection. It must be set according received values in the test frames. If the devices trigger the alarm without real water leak. During the installation of the device, plunge the cable / electrodes into water to emulate a water leak and power on the device to send test frames.

Frames format a. Quick start Here are the most used frames when using the ACW-WLL. If more detail is needed, keep reading the next pages, Test frame Sent when the device starts, right after it joins the network: 0x854A0000xxxx With xxxx the measured value from the sensor.

Alert frame (threshold crossing); New generation: These frames combine a conventional frame and a measurement frame. They consist of a header warning that a threshold has been exceeded, followed by samples of each of the channels for which a threshold has been exceeded. Classic frame Byte 1 - Header Bit 7...

0x0c Reserved 0x0d Variable Alert frame followed by samples in alert. 0x0e General error 0x0f Variable ... Subframe for ACW. Depending on the ACW Alert frame If the Timestamp is enabled, 4 bytes with the Timestamp value will be preceded by the header (byte 1). Byte 1 - Header Bit7 Bit6...

The Measure Type is identical to the measure frame. The sample xxxx causing the alert is put at the end of the frame: Example: 0x8D4A0000xxxx Keepalive frame The life frame is sent at regular intervals according to the configuration applied (by default 4 days) and contains the battery levels of the product when empty (the product does nothing) and when charging (the product is transmitting a frame radio).

Byte 2 - Header 0x4A Bytes left: Measured value by the sensors during the test. On a test frame it must be close to 0 when using electrodes, or close to 0x6YY (YY = any value) when using a cable. Error frame If the Timestamp is enabled, 4 bytes with the Timestamp value will be preceded by the header (byte 1).
