Presentation

Entirely dedicated to geolocation and embedded data services, the modem GenLoc 354e combines the
GSM / GPRS / HSPA and GNSS functions in the same robust casing.
The GNSS data can be transmitted by SMS or data communication GSM/GPRS/HSPA.
This product includes the 72-channel GNSS function. The high sensitivity GNSS solution ensures the data
collection in difficult environments.
The modem is Quad-Bands (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) GSM/GPRS Class 12.
The modem is six-bands (I, II, IV, V, VI, VIII) UMTS / HSPA.
The GenLoc 354e provides 3 operating modes depending on the embedded application:
External mode (standard): The control is done by an external application. The modem is used with
the AT command set (see Commands List EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy of ERCOGENER).
Autonomous mode: Once configured, the modem is autonomous; it cyclically registers the positions
and automatically transmits them to the client’s application via different services: SMS, GSM Data,
TCP socket GPRS/UMTS (see EG_EaseLoc_Vx_CL_yyy_UK of ERCOGENER).
Specific development mode: the EGM development tool allows the development of additional and
customized embedded applications. For more information about the tools and the training, please
contact our sales department.
Its protocols of IP connectivity integrated in the embedded application EaseLoc_Vx, are also available under
EGM libraries for a specific development, allowing a quick installation of embedded telematics solutions with
strong added-value.

DC

3.4.1 Power supply cables

The modem is powered with the cable supplied with the equipment (ERCOGENER reference: 4402304215).
(See ANNEX 1 – 4-pins Micro-FIT cable (4 wires, Power supply))
The modem is protected by a fuse F2 A / 32 V directly assembled on the power cable supplied with the
modem.
The power cable supplied with the modem must be absolutely used; without this cable, the modem will not be protected. The pins 1 and 2 are used for the functions Input/Output. The power supply to the modem is done only via the pins 4 (+V
) and 3 (GND).
DC
The modem must be powered by an external DC voltage between +8V
and +32VDC.
DC
The internal regulation is done by a DC/DC converter and allows the supply of all necessary internal DC
voltages.
The modem is also internally protected against voltage peaks of more than 32 V
DC
.
The following table describes the consequences of an overvoltage or drop of voltage on the modem.
3.4.2 Power supply 8 – 32V

The following table describes the consequences of an overvoltage or drop of voltage on the modem.

The modem guarantees its own protection.
The modem is protected by the fuse assembled on
the power supply cable in combination with the internal protection.

3.4.2.1 Internal battery
This battery allows to maintain the operation of the GenLoc 354e in case of absence of its external power
supply.
The internal charging circuit allows to keep permanently the charge of the battery from the external power
supply.
When the battery is completely discharged, 4 h 30 mn are necessary to obtain a new complete charge. It is
normal if the box is becoming a little bit hot in this case.
The autonomy of the battery mainly depends and the mode of use of the GenLoc 354e (attachment in
GSM/GPRS, Inputs/Outputs, GNSS power supply, RS232 connected...).
In the case where the software management of the battery guarantees that the voltage V
BAT
does not fall below 3,55 V, with a battery with 3 charge cycles and fully charged, the autonomy is around:
1 h 20 mn in GPRS - 900MHz - 3Rx/2TX communication, serial link not connected, no Input Output connected, in maximum emission.
35 mn in WCDMA Band I communication, serial link not connected, no Input Output connected, in maximum emission.
7 h in attached to GPRS network without data transfer, serial link not connected, no Input Output connected.
When the battery is charged, it is not possible to do an ON/OFF of the device. Only putting the Reset input (pin 10 of the 16-pin Micro-FIT connector) to the Ground or sending the command AT+EGMRST allows a reset of the modem.
When the temperature exceeds 45 °C inside the box, the protection of the battery management triggers. The battery will not be charged.
If the battery is present, prepare the modem for storage or transport conditions, in order to limit high discharges of the battery. For this, see § 6.2 Turning the modem OFF
Voltage (max.) Type Capacity Exp. cycle time Temperature range
Protection (Resettable fuse)
The battery cannot be replaced or modified by the user; the device must never be opened. For any intervention on the battery: the device must be returned to the factory. Do not throw the modem and the battery on the fire.

5.1 Installation of GNSS external antenna

The quality of the GNSS signal received depends on the quality of installation of the antenna. To obtain an
optimal signal, some rules have to be respected:
Place the antenna horizontally, dome towards the top and preferably outside the vehicle,
Do not place the antenna under athermic windscreens,
Do not place the antenna under metallic surfaces

6.1 Specific recommendations for the use of the modem in vehicles

The power supply connector of the modem GenLoc 354e must NEVER be connected directly to the battery of the vehicle.

6.1.1 Recommended connection on the battery of a truck

All trucks have a circuit breaker outside the cabin. The circuit breaker is used for security reasons:
The circuit breaker is connected to the ground of the truck, usually connected to the fuse box.
Most of truck circuit breakers do not cut the
Figure 36 : Recommended connection on the battery of a truck
+ 'PLUS' of the battery, but cut its 'GROUND'.
The scheme above shows a recommended power connection where the connection of the modem ground is
not directly connected to the battery, but connected after the circuit breaker (on the ground of the truck or in
the fuse box).
If this scheme is not respected, the modem can be damaged when starting the truck if the circuit breaker is open. It cannot support important starting currents.

6.2 Turning the modem OFF

The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of
ERCOGENER); in this case, it is strongly advised to un-register from the network with the command AT+COPS=2
There is no particular action to do on the GNSS part before turning the modem OFF.
When the battery is present, a mechanism allows to stop completely the application if the external power supply is unplugged, and also to prepare the modem for storage or transport, in order to limit high discharges of the battery. If the device is not used, it has to be deactivated by sending the following command:
If the modem has an application developed with EGM Disconnect the external power supply of the modem. And send the command AT+GPIOSET=35,0
If the modem does not contain any embedded application, via the Boot-Loader menu
Bootloader V4.09 GL54 UA Gener Ublox (HWF1 rev D/E) GSM voltage = 4330 mV 1 - Update application 2 - Erase objects M - GSM direct access (external supply required) A - Advanced P - Power off E - Exit
Disconnect the external power supply of the modem. And Enter "P"
Important note: The switching of the battery and its auto-maintain will be automatically
reactivated once the modem will be plugged again to its external power supply.

6.5 Checking the quality of the GSM reception signal

The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of
ERCOGENER); in this case, the modem will be able to make a call only if the received GSM signal is
powerful enough.
The command AT+CSQ allows to know the reception level (rssi) of the signal sent by the closest GSM Base Transceiver Station (BTS), as well as the reception error code (g). When the SIM card is inserted and the PIN code entered, the command AT+CSQ allows to measure the
signal from the BTS of the subscribed operator network.
This command cannot be used without the SIM card.
To check the quality of the GSM signal, do the following operations:
Use a communication software like Hyperterminal, enter the command AT+CSQ.
The response is in the following format:
+CSQ : <rssi>, <ber> with: <rssi> = indicates the reception level, <ber> = receive bit error rate. Check the returned value <rssi> with the help of the table below.
Table 55 : RSSI value
Value of <rssi> Gain in dbm Interpretation Value of <ber> Interpretation
0 -113 dbm Insufficient 0 to 7
See Standards ETSI GSM 05.08
1 to 10 -111 to -95 dbm Insufficient
11 to 30 -93 to -53 dbm Sufficient
31 (max) -51dbm Perfect
99 Unknown/not detectable 99 Unknown/not detectable
The GSM modem works normally with a minimum <rssi> between 11 and 15.
Below 10, the signal level is insufficient; the modem cannot work depending on the geographical situation or
the vehicle mobility. Above 15, the signal is sufficient.
For more information about the AT commands, see the document "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER.
Descriptions and non-contractual illustrations in this document are given as an indication only.

6.6 Verification of the PIN code

The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy"of
'ERCOGENER); in this case, the PIN code is necessary to make a call or to accept a response coming from
the GSM network. This code is held in the SIM card and can be modified by the user.
To check that the PIN code has been entered, use a communication software like Hyperterminal, and enter
the command AT+CPIN?
The table below shows the main responses given by the modem:
