    ACW-WL-O label Each product of ATIM's ACW range has a QR Code label visible either on the side or on the front of the product. This QR code can be easily read with any 2D barcode reading application on smartphone.
  • Page 10: Available Versions

    Available versions a. Cables ATIM offers three cable versions to complement the ACW/WL: The CAB-WL is sold by the meter and is coupled to the ACW/WL. It allows the detection of water leakage. The CAB-WLL is sold by the meter and is coupled to the ACW/WL. It allows the detection and the localization of water leak.

    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

    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 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: Operating Mode

    f. Operating mode The ACW-WL sensor periodically measures the electrical resistance between its 2 electrodes, or the 2 strands of its cable to detect a possible presence of water at the time "t" and sends these data by radio on the Radio network (Sigfox or LoRa) in case of positive result.
  • Page 18: Life Frame

    g. Life frame These are issued either once a day or once every 4 days (configurable). NOTE By default, the period for sending life frames is set to once a day. h. Options A buzzer can be integrated in the sensor to emit an audible signal (100dB) in case of leak detection to signal an alert. i.

    V5.2.2 or higher LoRaWAN : V0.0.1 Download and install the configuration software ''setupACW.exe'' at: https://www.atim.com/en/products-configurator/ Configuration The configuration is done via USB or Bluetooth. In the case of Bluetooth, you must restart the product, it should appear in the list of products on the home page of the configurator. Double click on it to open the ACW-WL configuration page.
  • Page 20 Threshold Threshold of detection allows to refine the measurements in certain configurations, it must be adjusted according to the measurement values received during the test and alert frames. During a measurement, the product measures the current leakage between the 2 strands of cables / electrodes, this value is compared to the Threshold value.
  • Page 21 Number of retries Number of frames forwarding attempts in case of non-acquittal. NOTE By default, the Number of retries value is 5. Period between retries (hh:mm) Time period between these tests. NOTE By default, the Period between retries value is equal to 10 minutes. ATIM_ACW-WLL_UG_EN_V1.7...
