ERCOGENER cannot be held responsible for:
- Problems arising from improper use of the EG-IoT xxxx.
- Problems arising from improper configuration
- Dysfunctions arising from the absence or poor coverage of GSM, GPRS, UMTS, LTE Cat.M1, GNSS, LoRa,
Sigfox networks
- Dysfunctions if the product is used for the monitoring of physical persons where human life is at stake.
ERCOGENER reserves the right to modify the functionalities of its products "EG-IoT xxxx" without prior
notice.
- When the equipment is open, do not carry out any operations other than those provided for in this
document.
- No internal parts can be repaired by the user. The EG-IoT xxxx must be returned to the factory for repairs.
- In order to ensure electromagnetic compatibility, the length of the serial link cable, the power cable and the input /
output cable must not exceed a length of 3 meters.

1 Presentation of the demonstrator products
Products from the EG-IoT-xxxx family are suitable for harsh outdoor environments. They are all waterproof and
resistant to mechanical shocks.
Compact, with integrated long-range antennas and a long battery life, they are easy to implement.
The ability to have two communication technologies LPWAN+3G allows to have a product dedicated to critical
applications.
These products are intended for use in various applications such as geolocation, remote control, metering, remote
supervision …
This document presents the general characteristics and the implementation of functional demonstrators.

5 Configuration via internal serial link
5.1 Opening the casing
Tools : Screwdriver TORX T10.
Tape
Screwdriver or coin.
1 – Using the TORX T10 screwdriver, remove the 4
screws under the casing.
2 – Optional. Stick the adhesive tape to the bottom of the
M8 connector.
3 – Use the flathead screwdriver or a coin to remove the
upper part from the lower part using the notch
provided for this purpose.
4 – Rotate the upper part, taking as the axis of rotation
the base of the casing on the M8 connector side. The
duct tape will avoid from pulling on the connections.

5.2 Installation of SIM card
1 – After having opened the casing (§ Erreur !
Source du renvoi introuvable. Erreur !
Source du renvoi introuvable. the casing),
Insert the Micro SIM card (format 3FF, format
N°2 on below picture).
2 – Push the Micro SIM card to the end.
5.3 Power supply connection
The product is delivered with its power supply connected. It is in deep sleep mode.
The product wakes up for a configuration:
When the converter cable USB/TTL is connected to the terminal,
At each transmission of character when the product is in sleep mode
If the power supply is disconnected, the product loses its activation capacity as its
configuration will be altered.
5.4 USB/TTL cable connection
1 – Carefully separate the upper part from the lower
part, using as the rotation axis the opposite side
of the M8 connector.

5.5 Access to configuration menu
By default, the product is supplied with a demonstration application. This application allows to make tracking or to
read temperature and status of IN1 and IN2 digital inputs.
Use a Command Prompt software in order to communicate with the product.
The link between the product and the terminal is done with a USB/TTL cable: 115200,8,N,1.
Use only the USB/TTL cable recommended by ercogener (Ref. 4440Z00025).
