Page 10: Casing
Casing a. Space requirements <- Mounting holes -> fixations b. Mounts to ACW-THI modems are attached to a wall with two screws that fit into the two mounting holes on the back of the box. The vents on the cover must be on the right, in the same direction as the photo opposite. -
Page 11: Installation
c. Installation For optimal results, it is recommended to install the box without environmental obstruction and to place it at a height of approximately 1m50. For information, the antenna is integrated in the box. It must be mounted on a vertical support, or fixed to a wall. -
Page 12: Operation
Operation a. Mode of operation The new generation 2020 ACW (Atim Cloud Wireless®) products are all based on the same internal software (Firmware) and bring interesting new features such as the selection and visualization of their operating mode. To know the status of the product, you just must pass a magnet briefly (<2 sec) against the QRCODE label or on the Pepper... -
Page 13: Putting The Product Into Service
b. 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 14: Sending A Test Frame
For a LoRaWAN product • In the default LoRAWAN Class A operating mode, (see Radio settings chapter), if at the end of the 5 minutes pairing phase, no network has been reached, then the product goes into standby and will restart a 5-minute pairing phase 24 hours later. -
Page 15: Substitution To The Magnet
g. 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). To do this, open the case and exert two simultaneous presses on the push button. A white flashing indicates that the button now acts as the magnet (button pressed = magnet approached, refer to Product commissioning,... -
Page 16: Night Mode
j. Night mode The ACW-THAQ allows to stop measurement and radio emission during a given time slot (this time slot is customizable). The primary purpose of this feature is to reduce the power consumption of the sensor throughout the day to increase its autonomy In operation, the sensor will therefore automatically stop the radio emission from the start time configured for this mode and will restart, again automatically, at the configured end time. -
Page 17: Acw Configurator
ACW configurator a. Compatible configurator version For a THAQ with the following application software version: Use the version of ACW Configurator: Sigfox: V0.0.1 V5.2.8 ot higher LoRaWAN: V0.0.1 Download and install the configuration software setup ’setupACW.exe‘ at: https://www.atim.com/wp-content/uploads/documentation/CONFIGURATEUR/ACW/configurateur-acw.exe NOTE The product must be in its Configuration mode to be able to be detected by the configurator. To do this, you must first put the product into deep standby mode (magnet close to 6 seconds), wait about twenty seconds for the entry into deep standby to take effect, then wake up the product (magnet 6 seconds to new). -

b. ACW-THAQ setup Emission and sampling period of 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. In addition, it is possible to configure the number of samples in a frame . -
Page 19: Keep Alive Frame Period
Keep alive frame period A life frame can be sent periodically . This frame will raise the supply voltage of the product. The value of this period can be configured from 1 hour to 1 month. By default, the value is set to 4 days. Frame timestamp It is possible to deactivate / activate the time stamping of all radio frames WARNING... -
Page 20: Product Clock
For a Sigfox device 1. Sigfox (default): Modulation and Sigfox Protocol used. This is the product's default mode. This mode requires access to the Sigfox network to operate. 2. Local mode: The modulation of the frames switches to FSK. In this mode, you must choose the radio channel on which the product will transmit. -
Page 21: Configuration Of Sensors
Configuration of sensors Temperature and humidity On the ACW-THAQ, there is an embedded temperature & humidity sensor. Here are the configuration parameters available for this sensor − Enabling/disabling of the sensor. − Temperature & humidity thresholds − Temperature compensation on two points The thresholds can be configured by a high and low threshold according to a configurable hysteresis and duration of overrun. -
Page 22: Air Quality (Voc And Co 2 )
Air quality (VOC and CO Two sensors are present for the quality measurement: a first for the measurement of the CO2 concentration, the second for the measurement of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). For each one, you will find the following configuration elements: −... -
Page 23: Co 2 Calibration
Calibration Automatic calibration The CO sensor has an automatic self calibration process which enable the CO calibration every 48hours. We cannot disable the automatic self-calibration. WARNING In order to have a efficient automatic self-calibration, the product shall be exposes to fresh air (around 420ppm) between two self-calibration (it means once every 48hours). -
Page 24: Configuration Validation
Configuration validation After having filled in all the configuration parameters, it is imperative to click on the “Apply to ACW” button to send the configuration to the product It is also possible at any time to read the current configuration of the product which will update the parameters on the configurator or restore the default configuration of the product. -
