(address range 1-15). Address 0 (mode 4 … 20 mA) may not be used. When assigning an address, only one sensor should be connected to PLICSMOBILE T81. If con- nection is already completed, the wiring must be briefly undone for addressing. Depending on the installation location of the sensors, it can be advantageous to carry out this addressing before installing and connecting the sensors. -
Page 15: Connection Steps Sensor Connection Cable
Connection steps sensor connection cable The sensor connection cable is used for transmission of the meas- ured value from the sensor to the PLICSMOBILE T81. In addition, it can also transmit the voltage supply for the connected sensor. The sensor connection cable is available in Ex version (blue) as well as in non-Ex version (black). - Page 16 9.

External battery PLICSMOBILE B81 The PLICSMOBILE B81 was especially developed for the power supply of PLICSMOBILE T81. It can be optionally equipped with rechargeable accumulators or non-rechargeable batteries of series "D" (Mono). Note: There is a safety instruction leaflet attached to each PLICSMOBILE B81 which must be read before setup and observed. -

If all components are connected completely, you can set the switch on the upper side of the battery cover to "ON" Solar panel PLICSMOBILE S81 Via the solar panel PLICSMOBILE S81 you can power the PLICSMOBILE T81, the accumulator pack will also be charged. Two solar panels with different size/capacity are available: with a sunny environment and max. one measured value transmission per day, the small 5 W module is sufficient; with intermittent shadowing and/or more than one measured value transmission per day, the larger 20 W module should be used. - Page 21 Adjusting screw, inclination angle Connection The solar cable combines the power pack with the solar panel. It is available in the lengths 5/10/25 m. Connect the cable as shown in the wiring plan. PLICSMOBILE T81/B81/S81 • External GSM/GPRS/UMTS radio unit...

This is very important for the calculation of the required capacitance. In the listed examples, this self-discharge is not taken into accunt. The available capacitance depends also considerably from the tempera- ture. The specifications refer to a temperature of 20 °C (68 °F).

GSM network is car- ried out and the measured value is transmitted. The instrument then returns to power saving mode. The time for this process depends on the network quality and is generally approx. 70 seconds. PLICSMOBILE T81/B81/S81 • External GSM/GPRS/UMTS radio unit... - Page 24 Bluetooth With activated Bluetooth function, additional energy is needed; this reduces the operating time with battery/accumulator operation con- siderably. For that reason, switch off the Bluetooth function if it is not being used (via the switch on the electronics module). PLICSMOBILE T81/B81/S81 • External GSM/GPRS/UMTS radio unit...

Page 25: Setup
Bluetooth modules, possibly already built into the PC or note- book, or other USB adapters cannot be used. As an alternative, the VEGA app for smartphones or tablets (iOS or Android) can be used. In such case you can use the Bluetooth module already integrated in the smartphone/tablet. -

Make sure that the Bluetooth switch on the electronics module is set to "On" and the Bluetooth USB adapter is inserted. Start the project assistant in PACTware; the Bluetooth USB adapter, the PLICSMOBILE T81 and the connected sensors should then be found and displayed in the project window.

Page 27: Mobile Network And Sim Card
To avoid roaming costs, the card should be bought in the country in which the PLICSMOBILE T81 is installed and operated. If you are using a VEGA Ident Card, you don't have to worry about this because no roaming costs are charged. - Page 28 Insert SIM card The contact surface must point upward. Note: The PLICSMOBILE T81 must be disconnected from voltage when inserting the SIM card. Keep ESD protection in mind when handling the SIM card. Electrostatic discharges can damage the SIM card or the PLICSMOBILE.

SIM card" is available in the DTM. Enter here the correct PIN for the card. The assistant also offers the option of changing the PIN. Information: When using the VEGA Ident Card, entering or deactivating a PIN is not required. Then check if the card is logged into the network and if sufficient net- work coverage (signal strength) exists. For a reliable measured value transmission, a signal strength of at least 30 % should be displayed. - Page 30 (POP3/SMTP) as well as the user name/password are required for authentication.

Due to the very strict transport regulations for lithium-based batteries/accumulators, this is normally not a good idea because shipment is very expensive. Correct disposal avoids negative effects on humans and the environ- ment and ensures recycling of useful raw materials. PLICSMOBILE T81/B81/S81 • External GSM/GPRS/UMTS radio unit... -

When the instrument is powered by an external voltage supply, make sure the voltage supply unit has a suf- ficient current carrying capacity. With a voltage supply <9.6 V, current peaks of up to 2 A must be expected. The listed power specifications include the voltage supply of a HART sensor with 20 mA. The listed energy requirement includes the voltage supply of a HART sensor (VEGAPULS 61 with 4 mA (multi- drop mode) and 12 V operating voltage.
