Presentation
Entirely dedicated to the wireless markets throughout the world, the GenPro 53e (Application On Board)
allows a simple and rapid integration of GSM / GPRS Quad-Band (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) connectivity into
M2M applications.
The GenPro 53e is a robust, reliable and long life product. Its very compact metal case makes it ideally
adapted to onboard standards.
The modem is Quad-Bands (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) GSM/GPRS Class 10 or EDGE*.
The GenPro 53e has 3 operating modes:
External mode (standard): The driving is made by an external application. The modem is used with
the AT commands set (see Commands List EG_EasePro_Vx_CL_yyy_UK of ERCO & GENER).
Autonomous mode (optional): Once configured, the modem is autonomous, it cyclically registers the
positions and tranmits them automatically to the client’s application via different services: SMS, GSM
Data, TCP socket GPRS (see EG_EasePro_Vx_CL_yyy_UK of ERCO & GENER).
Specific development mode: the EGM development tool allows to develop personalized embedded
application. For more information concerning the tools and the training, please contact our sales
department.
By default, the GenPro 53e provides:
2 RS232ports,
a 1-Wire interface
TOR inputs/outputs, 5 inputs, 3 outputs
2 analogs inputs
a back-up battery
a 3-axis accelerometer
The GenPro 53e can be equiped with the options Bus CAN and DUAL SIM.
Its protocols of IP connectivity integrated in the embedded application EasePro, are also available under
EGM libraries for a specific development, allowing a quick installation of embedded telematic solutions with
high added-value.
This document describes the modem and provides the following information:
- General presentation,
- Functional description,
- Available basic services,
- Installation and use of the modem (first level),
- Trouble shooting,
- Recommended accessories for the use of the modem.

Warning
•ERCO & GENER advises to read carefully all the documents concerning the GenPro 53e (User
Guide, Application Notes, Command List).
•ERCO & GENER cannot be held responsible for:
- The problems due to an inappropriate use of the GenPro 53e.
- The problems due to a wrong configuration
- The problems due to a wrong use of an embedded software application developed or
supplied by a third party.
- The dysfunctions due to the absence or a bad coverage of the GSM, GPRS networks.
- The dysfunctions if the product is used for the watching of physical persons where human
life is engaged.
• ERCO & GENER reserves the right to modify the functions of its products "GenPro 53e" and
"EasePro" without previous notice.
- In order to avoid any risk of electrocution, do not open the casing.
- For any functioning, the casing must be closed.
- No internal part can be repaired by the user. The GenPro 53e must be returned to the factory for any
repair.
- The GenPro 53e must be placed in a normally ventilated area, out of sources of heat.
- In order to guarantee the electromagnetic compatibility, the length of the serial cable, the supply cable and
the inputs/outputs cable must not exceed 3 meters.
- The GenPro 53e must not be connected directly to the mains supply; a voltage adapter must be used.
SCRAP THE WORN BATTERIES ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTIONS.
