To determine the safety ratings and specification of the entire system refer to each component in the system. Before starting to work with the SEA 9745 module please read this docu ment and the software manual carefully. If there are any questions about operating the module or if any term is not understood, please contact the vendor before using the module.
The reader should consult the vendor if errors are suspected. End User License Agreement (EULA) Before operating the SEA 9745 and the provided software you have to agree to the terms and conditions (EULA). This agreement is part of the software installation procedure.
Safety Guidelines To protect persons against any harm and the module from damage, the operation of the SEA 9745 module is only allowed according to the rules described in this document. Operator Protection Hot or Cold Surface The metallic surface of the module might be...
Keep the module and the antennas at least 1 meter away from hu man bodies during operation. Safety Critical Applications The module is not failure tolerant and therefore not suitable for use in safety critical applications. Do not use the module for medical applications or any live sup porting apparatus.
Hazardous Voltages A voltage is hazardous when higher than 25 V or 60 VDC to earth ground according to IEC 60364-4-41 (SELV). If the module specifications al low to connect hazardous voltages to the module, take the following pre cautions, when connecting hazardous voltages to the module: Make sure that only qualified personnel wires hazardous voltage adhering to local electrical standards.
Electromagnetic Compatibility Guidelines This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the regulatory requirements and limits for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). These re quirements and limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not in...

To meet the RF exposure rules and regulations and minimize the radio fre quency exposure to humans, you must follow the following directives: Installers and operators have to follow the transmitter operating • and antenna installation instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance, please refer to the user manual of the antenna.
Prerequisites The SEA 9745 module is shipped with the following accessory: Printed 'Hardware Manual - Operation Instructions, Safety • Guidelines and Specifications' In order to operate the module further components are required (not shipped with the module): Power cable for external power supply, order no.: 61000011, •...

SIM card • Is required to use the GSM features. The SIM card has to be pur chased from a MNO. S.E.A. does not provide SIM cards or any mobile services. GPS antenna • Is required to use the GPS features. Matching GPS antennas can be purchased separately from S.E.A.
DIP switches is available. With these switches the behaviour of the module can be con trolled, refer to Fig. DIP Switches on page 18. Only one SEA 9745 module can be op erated within a single CompactRIO system. It is not possible to operate more than one SEA 9745 module in...
GSM Antenna 1 socket. For GPS the SEA 9745 module provides one antenna socket of type MCX. Only active GPS antennas with a supply voltage of 3.3 V and a maximum current of 40 mA are allowed.
(pins 4 and 3) and a 5V-TTL compatible Timepulse signal (pin 5). S.E.A. separately provides suitable cables for connecting external GPS re ceiver. Refer to http://www.sea-gmbh.com for details. Depending on the external GPS receiver type or manufacturer the control (configuring) GPS API functions may not be supported, be...
cause these functions use proprietary commands for the integ rated GPS receiver. When reading the GPS data using the GPS Read Messages API function no limitations are to be expected, as long as the external GPS receiver outputs the GPS data in NMEA-0183 format. Do not switch between internal and external GPS receiver while the module is operating.
SIM Card Slot On the back side of the module there is a slot for SIM cards, refer to Fig. Insert SIM on the right. It accepts mini SIM cards. Nano and mi cro SIM cards can be used with an adequate SIM adapter.
For operation of the SEA 9745 module it is mandatory to supply power through the front side power supply connector because the power supply through the backplane is insufficient for the needs of the module. Connect the module with an adequate power source using the enclosed power cable.

in the following table: Switch Meaning Watchdog This switch allows to enable the module's internal system monitoring. This is useful if the module is operated head less and a recovery strategy is required. Enable: Watchdog is enabled. If an internal system error occurs the module executes a reset.
Backup The battery keeps the system clock (RTC) running and Battery stores the GPS almanac while the module is switched off. Refer to chapter 'Backup Battery' for details. Enable: The battery is charged when the module is powered. The GPS almanac and the RTC are maintained while switched off.
Is steady on when a Packet Data connection (GSM) is estab lished. Flashes when the module is booting or performs a factory reset. Is steady on when module is operational. Tab. 2: LEDs Backup Battery The backup battery provides the following features: Stores the last GPS almanac.
The battery should not be discharged below a minimum limit to avoid its damage. Therefore do not store the module with enabled battery for long time periods. An acceptable store period is between 2 and 6 weeks depending on the battery condition and the storage conditions (temperature, humidity...).

Power down the module Press and hold the Reset switch Power up the module and wait until LED 5 blinks continuously Release the Reset switch and wait until LED 5 is steady on (this can take up to some minutes) After the reset remember that the module's IP address may have changed.
Fig. DIP Switches. This is useful if the entire system should be set to the sleep mode but it still needs to be accessible through the SEA 9745 module. If the hardware sleep mode switch is set to Enable, the sleep mode selection by software takes effect on the SEA 9745 module.
