Ethernet 100Base-Tx (10/100Mbit). When connected, the green “Link” LED at the connector li­ghts up to indicate proper connection. When communicating, the yellow „Activity“ LED flashes.

First start

First steps

Power

The green LED indicates that the device is powered. Upon request (and under a different pro­duct code), Damocles2 models other than 2404 can be also equipped with PoE (Power over
Ethernet).

Inputs

INx – dry contact inputs. Inputs always share a common ground (GND). The corresponding

green LED indicates a closed contact.

Outputs

• Damocles2 MINI – OUTx – relay outputs with NO/NC contacts. When idle, NCx (Normally Closed)
+ COMx (Common) are connected. When activated, NOx (Normally Open) + COMx are connec­ted. Yelow LED indicates an activated output.

• Damocles2 2404 – OUTx – relay outputs with NO/NC contacts. When idle, NCx (Normally Closed)
+ COMx (Common) are connected. When activated, NOx (Normally Open) + COMx are connec­ted. Yelow LED indicates an activated output.

• Damocles2 1208 – open collector – semiconductor outputs with a common ground (GND), for
controlling external switching elements. Yelow LED indicates an activated output. For more
information, see Open Collector – Damocles2 1208 only.

Alarm/Setup LED

Red LED indicates device state: continuously on means Alarm (DI outside of the safe range),
flashing means TCP or Serial Setup mode.

DIP1/DIP2 switches

DIP1 – activates serial setup mode/restores factory defaults. To restore factory defaults, quickly

toggle the switch 3× within the first 5 seconds after powering up the device.

DIP2 – safe mode – activates HW protection of configuration settings. In Safe mode, parameters

cannot be changed (online demo).

Common features of the Damocles2 family

Displayed readings

• Damocles2 displays current values of all digital inputs (DI).

• Inputs feature pulse counters for connecting energy meters with S0 outputs.

• An input is considered active (for Alarm state purposes) if it is closed for more than approx.
900ms (inputs are sampled approximately every 30 ms because of S0).

• Alarm state can be set independently for each input (contact).

• If the Alarm is not assigned to any channel (SMS, Email, SNMP Trap), the alarm is not notified
and the corresponding line is highlighted in yellow at the first page (General).

• Upon Alarm, the device can send a SNMP Trap, E-mail, or SMS.

• Damocles2 notifies both the beginning and the end of an alarm (contact closing and contact
opening).

• Supports a shared HWg-SMS-GW3 gateway for texting.

• Supports SNMPv1 and SNMPv3.

• Supports e-mail authentication via TLS.

To send e-mail, check:

1. Correct Gateway IP address

2. DNS server in the network

settings

3. SMTP server and port

4. Authentication enabled, correct
username and password

5. Spam filter for your mailbox

is disabled

Tip: It is not always necessary to con-

figure a SMTP Server in order to
send e-mails. Damocles2 can
work as SMTP server itself and
deliver the e-mails directly to the
user’s mailbox.
However, always test this mode in
your particular environment –the
e-mails sent in this mode are
often blocked by various spam
filters due to missing reverse MX
records.
Damocles2 can only send e-mails,
it cannot receive them.

E-mail is sent upon every alarm
activation and deactivation.

Sending a test e-mail

Multiple systems need to be con­figured correctly in order to send
e-mails from the device success­fully. Therefore, it is advisable to
double-check the following para­meters:

• Gateway in the network settings.

• DNS server in the network settings.

• SMTP server and port.

• Authentication turned on, correct
name and password.

• Spam filter of your mailbox tur-
ned of f.

• Not Found – Damocles2 is configured for a locally-connected GSM modem but the modem

was not found.

• Waiting for modem – Looking for the modem.

• Initializing – The modem is being initialized.

• Ready – The modem is ready.

• SMS center Number (only for Damocles2 2404 with a RS-232 modem connected) – Provider’s
SMS center number, as read from the SIM card. If the number has not been read, it is not
possible to send SMS.

Sekce GSM SMS recipients

Configures the numbers of SMS recipients, regardless of the mode of operation (local/remote
modem).

• Send test SMS – Send a test SMS to all configured numbers.

• RingOut Test – Dials all configured numbers.

SMS example:

Alarm ACTIVATED, Damocles2 2404, Binary 10, ON

GSM modem (local or remote)

• Device name: Damocles2 2404

• Inputs/outputs in alarm:

• Binary 10 = input name

• ON = alarm state, OFF = idle state

Tip: For detailed description of the SMS format, see the SMS interface description in the “Using Damoc-

les2 units in your programs” section.

http://hw-group.us/cs/podpora/kba004-pouziti-damocles2-ve-vasich-programech.

Note: Any changes must be confirmed by clicking the Apply Changes button. A successful change is

indicated by an animation in the status bar next to the Apply changes button.

Text messages (SMS) can be sent in two ways:

A) Remote GSM modem – Damocles2 does not have its own GSM modem. “Serial Port Settings”

is set to “Disabled”. To send a SMS, a GSM modem connected to another Damocles2 unit or
the “HWg-SMS GWx” product is used. The remote GSM modem must be accessible over the
network, via an A address, by default at port 80 under “service.xml”.

B) Local GSM modem (only for Damocles2 2404 with a RS-232 modem connected) – A GSM mo-

dem is connected to the RS-232 interface of Damocles2. The modem is powered from its
own adapter or from the 12V terminals. An activated SIM is inserted in the modem, PIN is
disabled. SMS Center should be retrieved from the SIM after start-up.

SOAP protocol is used for communication. If the connection is not established or is refused,
Damocles2 tries to send the SMS again.

The throughput of the remote GSM modem is limited to 5 SMS per minute for Damocles2 units
and about 20 SMS per minute for “SMS GW”.

Log & Time

Date, time, and data logger configuration.

Time Synchronization

SNTP server settings for time synchronization. If the time is not set (the date 1. 1. 1970 is
displayed), the device attempts to synchronize the time approximately once per hour until
successful.

• SNTP Server – IP address or host name of the SNTP server to synchronize the time with.

• Time zone – Set the offset of your time zone against the SNTP server time.
SNTP servers use UTC time, which is nearly equivalent to GMT (London time). Hence, for Paris,
Berlin, Prague, and other locations within the same time zone, set +1 hour.

• Interval – Specifies how often the time is synchronized with the time server. A shorter interval
can achieve higher time accuracy, and works around certain managed switches that disco­nnect ports when there is no active communication.

Note: The clock does not run when the device is powered off. The device contains no battery. After

apower failure, the time will be synchronized with the SNTP server.

Data Logger Settings

Configuration parameters for logging values to a circular buffer within the internal flash memo­ry. When the buffer is full, the oldest values are overwritten with the newest ones.

• Log Period – Period of logging into the logfile for all values.

• Logfile capacity XXX – The capacity estimate is given in days, hours and minutes. Damocles2
calculates the capacity based on the number of DI inputs.

Caution: When the circular buffer is full, the remaining capacity shown will be zero. Clear the buffer to
find out the total capacity.

• Report Log Period – Period for e-mailing the log.

• Erase log after E-mail – The log is cleared after it is e-mailed. This reduces attachment size and
can speed up data transfer.

• Open log File button – Stores the current logfile to disk by calling the external /spilog.txt file.

• Clar log File button – Clears all values from the logfile by calling the external /spilog.del file.

Note: Any changes must be confirmed by clicking the Apply Changes button. A successful change is

indicated by an animation in the status bar next to the Apply changes button.

Date and Time

Current date and time settings.

• Current Date – Date in the [dd.mm.yyyy] format, for example: 31. 12. 2017.

• Current Time – Current time in the 24-hour [hh:mm:ss] format, for example: 17:38:55. The time
updates automatically while the browser window is open. It is only saved when the “Apply
Changes” button is clicked.

period is configured from the portal.

• Retransmit number – Number of retransmissions if a Push fails.

• Manual Push – Button for immediate manual upload of data to the portal.

AutoPush configuration

Damocles2 connects to the portal immediately and notifies a change of an input state (at most
30 s from the last change).
This configuration only applies to the communication between Damocles2 and the online portal.
Local alarm values are configured in the portal.

For portal connection, check:

1. Correct Gateway IP address

2. DNS server in network settings

3. Correct Server Address of the portal

Configures the communication with the portal using the HWg-Push protocol. Damocles2 is the
active side and establishes communication periodically and upon every DI change.

Digital Inputs (DI)

Parameters for DI (Dry Contact Inputs). Damocles inputs feature pulse counters; this can be
used for example to read energy consumption meters with a pulse output (S0). Counters are in­cremented whenever the input is closed. The pulse must be longer than 20 ms to be registered.

Counters are 32 bit (maximum value 4 294 967 295). Values are retained in memory even when
the power is off. They can be reset (for the entire device) at the General Setup tab.

• Name – Name of the input, up to 12 chars (e.g. “left door”, “smoke room 1”).

• ID – Unique ID of the input variable within the device [1 – 32].

• Current Value – Current state of the input (“O (Off)”/“1 (On)“).

• Alarm State – Alarm state definition for each input.

• Active if On – Alarm is active whenever the input is in 1 (On).

• Active if Off – Alarm is active whenever the input is in 0 (Off).

• Disabled – Input has no alarm state defined.

• Delay [s] – Delays the sending of information about alarm beginning and alarm end.

• Out of Safe Range – Response to the Alarm state activation/deactivation for dry contact inputs.

• SNMP Trap – Enables sending a SNMP trap upon alarm activation/deactivation.

• E-mail – Enables sending an e-mail upon alarm activation/deactivation.

• SMS – Enables sending a SMS upon alarm activation/deactivation.

Note: SMS (text messages) are sent through a GSM modem connected directly to the Damocles2 unit via

Controls the outputs and configures their modes.

Output Control

• Manual – Output controlled over the web or M2M protocols (XML, SNMP...).

• Change to On/Off – Change output state (after confirming with Apply Changes).

• Local Condition – Output is controlled using a condition and a sensor. The output state is read-only
for M2M protocols (output cannot be controlled).
The control is linked to the Target Value, hysteresis is used (IDLE Range) as configured for
the sensor.

• On if any alarm – The output is closed if at least one of the inputs or sensors is in alarm.

Caution: This condition also takes into account the DELAY and HYSTERESIS settings for individual
active sensors and inputs.

• On if alarm on – The output is closed whenever there is an Alarm at the selected sensor (input).

• On if value equal to Trigger – The output is closed if the value matches the Target Value setting.

• On if value higher than Trigger – The output is closed if the Current Value is greater than the

Target Value setting.

• On if value Lower than Trigger – The output is closed if the Current Value is less than the Target

Value setting.

• Trigger Value – Trigger threshold for the condition (e.g. output is activated if the value is higher
than the Trigger Value).

• Dependent On – Selection of a sensor to which the condition applies.

Basic parameters

• ID – Unique ID of the output within the device [151 – 215].

• Current Value – Current state of the input („0 (Off)” / „1 (On)“).

• Name – Name of the output, up to 12 chars (e.g. “top fan”, “Door rack 4”).

• ON (Closed) Name – Name of the “1 (On)” state – e.g. closed, flooded, activated etc.

• OFF (Open) Name – Name of the “0 (Off)” state – e.g. open, inactive etc.

• Pulse timer – Activates the input (switches to 1 (On) state) only for the defined period. To re-
verse the function, use the NO/NC relay output. When Pulse Timer = 0, the pulse function is
disabled (default).
The pulse also applies to the local condition. The pulse width applies from the beginning of the
local condition (safe value exceeded). There is only one pulse per satisfaction of the condition.

PosDamIO and SDK

Poseidon Damocles I/O is a command-line utility for Windows and Linux that lets you control
Poseidon and Damocles units over the XML interface. It can display the states of sensors, in­puts and outputs, as well as set an output high or low.
HWg SDK is a library of functions, as well as examples of their use, for Unix and Windows. The
functions are intended to help third-party SW solutions communicate with our products over IP.
SDK reduces the time needed to implement support for our products into your SW.
For more information:

http://hw-group.us/cs/podpora/kba004-pouziti-damocles2-ve-vasich-programech

• Overview of all sensors at a single place.

• Centralized alarm configuration for individual sensors.

• Mobile application for monitoring.

• Remote configuration of GSM devices.

Damocles2 can be connected to the sensdesk.com portal similarly to Poseidon2 devices.
