Operating Manual


E. General Functions E.1. Sending messages Description: A basic function of the device is to send messages via SMS /Email/Phonecall in case of an error occured. The alarm system

can be triggered by the connected signals. (for example if the motion detectors senses something or in case a power meter is connected to the input, if the consumption per logging interval is too high). The messages can also be triggered

by a combination of two signals. Also a single signal can trigger several messages. The sending of messages can also perform in a cyclical manner. For example a message can be sent automatically once a week, to report the actual status of

all connected signals. In total there are 20 messages available. A maximum of 12 users can be notified. In case the device connected to a network that has access to internet, it is also possible to send emails over this network.

Settings via internal web browser:

The exact description of the input boxes are described in the section, ‘Konfiguration über Webbrowser’ / Configuration via web browser’.

User: Enter the telephone numbers and email addresses of the users that have to be alerted. Please enter the name of these users as well. In case this entry is empty, this person becomes “inactive” and will not be alerted.

Inputs: Now adjust the names of the inputs. Even the inputs that are not in use they can be turned off, if the

corresponding name is deleted. Switch on inversion for digital signals (in case inversion is used for the input, Normal status is equivalent to “1”, Error is equivalent to “0”).

Messages: Here you can configure the alerts and set the following: when should an alert be triggered, what is the reason for the alert to be triggered, what should be the content of the message and which users should receive the

message? Even a name should be given to each message in order to activate the message. If you want to connect a power meter to the counter input in order to trigger an message, please refer to Chapter E.4

Triggering of Messages /Switching of Outputs by Meters.

Content of messages: You have to create a unique name for the device that can be used to differentiate between different devices. You

can also configure the additional information that sent with the message like the actual status of the input or output signals.

SIM-options: Here you can set the parameters for the SIM-card. In addition it needs to be specified whether the Emails sent

with SMS (over an automatic SMS-Email Gateway) or over a connected network.

Status settings (optional): In order to check the functions of the device, it can be beneficial to configure the signal quality of the SIM-card

and display also the actual modem status. The current modem activity can be seen in the STATUS display.

Changing settings via SMS: The following settings can be requested and changed via SMS. The exact descriptions of the required SMS texts can be found in the chapter H: Configuration and access through SMS.

● User name, Telephone Number und Email-Address (command: Bxx)

● Name of the Inputs (command: Exx)

● Alert Message und Threshold Value of the Message (command : Mxx)

● Name of the device (command: GER)

Operating Manual


Warnings:

● To send messages via SMS, a SIM card is required.

● Send emails via SMS: Here an SMS is sent, that includes the email address in the first place. This received SMS is

converted into an email by a SMS-to-Email-Gateway owned by LeP GmbH located in Vienna, Austria. Sending attachments at this SMS is not possible (such as logging data or image data). In addition, the text is limited to

160 characters minus the length of the email address.

E.2. Switching Outputs Description:

This device can be used to turn on or off third party devices or equipment components remotely. For example, the heating

can be switched on or external control systems can be reset. There are 2 relay outputs that can be switched either via SMS, Call or automatically depending on the state of the input signals.

The outputs can either be switched permanently, or as a pulse. In the first case, a ‘switch-on condition’ and a ‘switch-off condition’ need to be configured. While, in the second case only one ‘switch-on condition’ needs to be configured. If the

“switch-on condition” is fulfilled, then the output is activated once for the configured time and then will be deactivated again.

The output is switched again only when the ‘switch-on condition’ is no longer met and met again thereafter. Two input signals can also be combined for the switch-on and off conditions.

Basically it can be distinguished whether a call from any phone number should lead to the switching action, or only from specific phone numbers. Up to 12 phone numbers can be saved in the user lists that are autorized to switch outputs.

User (optional): If an output can be switched only by a call from specific phone numbers then insert the phone numbers here. Please be sure to also enter the user's name.

Inputs (optional): If the outputs need to be switched in response to input signals, then meaningful names need to be used for the input signals. Inputs that are not used can be disabled by deleting the corresponding name. If requested switch

on inversion for digital signals (in case inversion is used for the input, Normal status is equivalent to “1”, Error is

equivalent to “0”).

Outputs: Here you can configure the name of the outputs and under what conditions they can be switched. In case you

are using an input for a power meter in order to switch the outputs you can find the description for that in the chapter: E.4 Triggering of Alerts /Switching of Outlets through Meters.

SIM-options: In order to switch the outputs remotely the SIM-card needs to be switched on.

Security settings: Every SMS that is sent to the device must start with the correct password (consists of 4 digits). Normally the password setting is deactivated then the message must start with “#” instead of the password. In case a

password is required, this can be set and changed here.

Operating Manual


Changing the settings via SMS:

The following settings can be requested and changed via SMS. The exact descriptions of the required SMS-text can be found in the chapter G: “Configuration and access through SMS”.


● Name of the Input (command: Exx)

● Name of the outputs - automatically the SMS text is changed:

For switching on the SMS Text is: 'New Name' ein For switching off the SMS Text is: 'New Name' aus

Switching the outputs via SMS: The outputs are switched based on the SMS text. The switch-SMS must always have the SMS-password in the beginning or if the password is deactivated must contain the symbol “#” in the beginning.

Example: Switch-on condition for output 1 is with the SMS-Text “Heating on” and the SMS Password is deactivated.

> SMS with the text ‘# Heating on’, sent to the CommU Easy will switch the output 1 on.

Warning:

• Pay attention to upper/lower case!

• In order to switch outputs via SMS or telephone, a SIM Card is required.

• If an output is switched either automatically via the inputs, or via SMS/Call you need to pay attention to the

following:

Generally the output switches as a function of the inputs. However an incoming call or SMS has higher priority and the output is switched regardless of the input functions.

Example for an automatic condition: Temp > 25 ° C -> output relay 1 = on

Temp < 23 ° C -> output relay 1 = off The temperature Temp has reached 26 ° C, i.e. the relay 1 is turned on. Now the relay 1 is turned off by a call.

Only when the temperature Temp goes below 23 ° C, and then rises again above 25 ° C the relay 1 would be turned on again.

E.3. Handling counters Description: Meters (with S0-interface) can be connected to the digital inputs. The meter readings can be sent automatically by SMS or

email (daily, weekly or monthly). The readings can be requested via SMS at any time.

User: Enter the telephone numbers and email addresses of the users that have to be alerted. Please enter the name of

these users as well. In case this entry is empty, this person becomes “inactive” and will not be alerted.

Inputs: Now configure the names of the inputs, also note that those inputs, whose names have been deleted cannot be

turned off. All inputs used as meter inputs can be configured here. It is necessary to enter the pulse and unit.

Do not forget to choose the option “Meter Input/Zähleingang”. If a meter start-reading is entered, than this will be visible immediately in the “STATUS”. Only when this is logged i.e. it is also visible in “LOGGING”, is it saved

permanently. It does not get deleted even after resetting the device.

Operating Manual


Messages: Here a message is triggered on a regular basis (e.g. monthly), which transmits the meter readings. Please specify whether the message should be sent as an email and /or SMS. Explanations on how to use a meter input

to trigger an alert can be found in Chapter E.4‘Triggering of Alerts/Switching of Outlets through Meters’.

Content of messages: You can assign a device name (in order to distinguish between multiple devices). Now you need to configure

which meter readings will appear in the message. It can also set for each message, whether the meter readings need to be sent or the ”actual consumption” For more detailed information also refer to the chapter ‘E.4

triggering of Alerts / Switching of outputs by Meter’.

SIM options: Here you can set the parameters for the SIM-card. In addition it needs to be specified whether the Emails sent

with SMS (over an automatic SMS-Email Gateway) or over a connected network.

Changing settings via SMS: The following settings can be requested and changed via SMS. The exact descriptions of the required SMS-text can be

found in the chapter G: “Configuration and access through SMS”.


● Name of the Input (command: Exx)

● Content of message (command: Mxx)

● Device name (command: GER)

● Request actual status of device/meters (command : STAT)

Warning:


E.4. Triggering messages / Switching of Outputs through counters Description: The pulse counters are generally set in such a way that the current counter value is stored in the configured recording

intervals. Example: Recording interval: 1 minute (set under, KONFIG -> Logging ->zyklisch alle 1 Minuten [every 1 minute]). There is a water meter with a pulse of per liter that is used. The current meter reading is 100l.

Setting the input for meters:

Operating Manual


The initial meter reading can be checked immediately in ‘STATUS '. Only when in the next time stamp it is transferred into ‘LOGGING ', it is stored permanently and is also available even after switching off the device.

In the above example, you can see that in the first minute 3 liters were measured and in the next minute 6 liters. In this example, a valve should be turned on when the rate is reached of more than 5 liters per minute. This valve can only be turned off again, when no more consumption is measured for more than one hour (=3600 seconds).

Operating Manual


Once this condition has been activated, the Easy continuously compares the last two cycles of the time stamp. If the

difference of the meter readings is greater than 5, then the switching takes place. If instead of switching an output an alert needs to be triggered, than this happens in accordance with the example stated

above.

The triggering of alerts can be configured separately for each message i.e. which value needs to be sent, the meter

reading or the current and actual consumption. This change can be made under KONFIG '-> “Inhalt” [content]. There the alert to be edited is selected and then the box

needs to be ticked. In the meter readings the values of the current consumption are either sent, configured or cleared. Depending on your settings the SMS / Email will either contain the meter reading (in the above example 109,000 liters) or

the current consumption (in the example above 6.0 liter in the last minute).

E.5. Continuous Data Recording/ Load Profile Description: All inputs and outputs can be recorded continuously. Since meter readings are recorded even the load profiles can be

recorded. The data stored in the internal memory of the device (Flash memory - non-volatile) can either be stored on a regular basis

at the micro-SD memory or sent as an email with .csv attachment file at regular intervals over an existing network. There is also a possibility of storing the data on the micro-SD memory card (backup).

The data of the last day is stored every day at 00:00 in the inserted micro-SD memory card in a separate file. The name of

the file is “Ccyymmdd.csv” - where yy is the year, mm is the month and dd is the recorded day.

Inputs: The names of the inputs can be configured here. If the name of the input is deleted, than inputs that are in use

cannot be switched off. Here, all inputs that will be used for the meter reading need to be configured. Enter the pulse and the unit without fail, and also do not forget to select the option “Zähleingang” [Meter Input], if the

meter is read via a pulse interface.

The name of the inputs must begin with a letter and not a numeral!

Operating Manual


Logging: Here you can configure when and why data needs to be recorded. Apart from that you can also configure which signals need to be recorded. Also activate recording on a SD card (backup).

Content of messages: You always have to enter a name for the device (in order to distinguish between multiple devices). This name should not contain any spaces.

SIM-options: Here you can configure the SIM card. If the Logging-data needs to be sent over a connected network, than you

need to select the option ‚E-Mails / Loggingdaten über das angeschlossene Netzwerk versenden’ [Send Emails/Logging Data over the connected network].

Warnings:

• If you want to store data in the Micro SD card than you need to insert the same card in the slot that is provided

for it (order number: CC_131).

• In order to store data on the Micro SD card you need to configure it in the FAT32 format.

Changing settings via SMS: The following settings can be requested and changed via SMS. The exact descriptions of the required SMS-text can be found in the chapter G: “Configuration and access through SMS”.

• Name of the Input (command: Exx)

• Device name (command: GER)

Operating Manual


E.6. Alarm System Functions - Activation and Deactivation Description: Sometimes it is necessary to disable alerts and switching of outputs. For this reason an internal flag is used in the same

manner as an output which can be activated or deactivated by call or SMS. It can also be used as a function of inputs and can be turned on and off. This flag can be used to activate or deactivate the sending of messages and switching of

outputs .The flag can also switch outputs via pulse. The flag is cleared after a voltage breakdown of the external power supply.

Status settings: The required internal flag is called “Anlagenzustand” [system status] and can be activated in the “Zustandseinstellungen” [status settings]. Please be sure to enter a name! It can be used as an additional input

for the messages and/or output settings.

Switching of status via SMS:

The switching of the system status happens via the SMS text that is entered. The switching-SMS must starts always with

the SMS-Password or prefixed with the symbol '#' if the password is disabled.

Example: switch-on System state is SMS with the text, ‘activate alert ', the SMS password is ‘1234’ -> SMS with the text ‘1234 activate alert’ 'to the CommU activates the system status.

Warnings:


• If an status is switched either automatically via the inputs, or via SMS/Call you need to pay attention to the

following:

Generally the status switches as a function of the inputs. However an incoming call or SMS has higher priority and the output is switched regardless of the input functions.

Example for an automatic condition: Schalter = 1 -> status ein Schalter = 0 -> status aus The switch is on, i.e., the system status is turned on. Now the system status is turned off by a call. Only when

the switch is turned off and then turned on again, does the System status get switched on again.

E.7. Password Protection Description:

If the device is operated in a network, then it is advisable to give access of the device only to authorized persons. A web username and password can be assigned. Because some settings can also be changed via SMS, it is possible, to set an

SMS-password (consisting of 4 digits). If the SMS password is disabled, than instead of the password, the message needs to be prefixed with the symbol’ # ‘.

Security settings: Here the corresponding passwords can be assigned and activated by selecting the respective option.

Changing settings via SMS: The following settings can be requested and changed via SMS. The exact descriptions of the required SMS-text can be found in the chapter G: “Configuration and access through SMS”.

• Web-Username and Web-Password (command: ZD)

Warning: Do not forget your user name and password!!!

Operating Manual


E.8. Time Setting Description:

There are several ways to maintain the time (the device does not have a highly accurate, temperature-independent measurement of time; therefore periodic synchronization is required; when the supply voltage is turned off remains date

and time remain as it is): 1. Manual entry of date and time

Content of messages: In the field, the date and time ', the current time is displayed. This can be changed over the button ‘Set’ of the

device.

2. Automatic time update via SMS

SIM-options: In the SMS settings you can synchronize the time automatically via SMS. The device sends an SMS to itself, in order to read from the provider time. The same happens automatically during daylight savings time change.

3. Set time via SMS The time synchronization can always be triggered using an SMS with the command “# UHR”.

E.9. Resetting the device

Most setting on the device can be changed immediately. However, a restart of the device is necessary for the two following changes: 1. Change of Web name and default IP address / subnet mask (set under, KONFIG '->' Sicherheit ') 2. Change of the SIM card - Settings (change under, KONFIG '-> SIM'). The device can be reset either by unplugging the power connector or it can be done by pressing the 'RESET' (to see, KONFIG '-> SIM') button. All configuration data is retained at reset.

Attention: Please note the settings in this menu carefully. Forgetting this, could result in locking yourself out of the device!

The device works with DHCP. That means that

the device searches the IP address by itself or

gets assigned one. It’s then accessible in the browser under the Webname. If the device is

used in a network administrator should assign a fixed IP address to the device. This should

then be registered under IP/Subnet. This

change in settings is effective only after restarting the external laptop/computer. In

case several devices are connected to the same network, they must all get different

names. Different IP are necessary for each device.

Once the username and password have been assigned, the

website can only be accessed on entering these details. Therefore, please do not forget this!!

You can check username and password via SMS (command ‘ZD’) if forgotten, but therefore you will need a working SIM

in the device. The SMS password can only contain digits. This password should be prefixed on any SMS that is sent to

the system. If no password is set, then the messages must be prefixed with the symbol ‘ # ‘.

Caution: The web interface was tested on Internet Explorer 8 and Google Chrome 8.0

Antenna SMA female ANTENNA CONNECTION; corresponding extensions (3m and 13m) available. To achieve a good network connection, the following points should be noted: - Install antenna in the vicinity of openings to the outside. - Antenna should be at a high level as high above the ground level as possible. - Install the antenna above shielding components, e.g. – above reinforced concrete slabs. - If possible, mount the antenna on a large metal surface, which is pointing toward the next dial node. - Larger cable lengths (> 13m) need an amplifier, because the attenuation by the Antenna cable is too strong. Never operate the Commu without a connected antenna!
