1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Mobeye CML2255 is a GSM module used to monitor the temperature using one
or two temperature probes. As soon as one of the temperature limits are violated or
one of the inputs are activated, it sends alarm notifications. The unit can run battery­powered. When powered externally, the power supply will be monitored too. If
connected to the web portal, the temperature values are logged and transferred to the
web portal.

The Mobeye CML2255 is pre-programmed with standard behaviour. To change this
behaviour please refer to chapter 4.

The factory settings of the Mobeye CML2255 cause following reactions:

- In case of a temperature alarm, the Mobeye CML2255 sends an alarm SMS text
message and calls the phone numbers as programmed. The SMS message contains

the text ‘Temperature too high’ or ‘Temperature too low’, followed by the measured

temperature. If two temperature probes are connected, the message will include the
indication which probe is in alarm status.

- As soon as the temperature gets back to a value inside the range, an SMS text
message is sent to the programmed phone numbers containing the text ‘Temperature
OK’, followed by the measured temperature.

- If one of the inputs is activated by a sensor, the Mobeye CML2255 sends an alarm
SMS text message and calls the phone numbers as programmed.

- If one of the temperature sensors is removed, the Mobeye CML2255 sends an alert
SMS text message to the administrator (first telephone number).

- If an external power supply is used and a power failure occurs, the Mobeye CML2285
sends a ‘power failure’ SMS text message and calls the phone numbers as
programmed. If the power is restored, the Mobeye CML2285 sends a ‘power
restored’ SMS text message to the numbers.

- If the batteries need to be replaced, the Mobeye CML2255 sends a ‘battery low’ SMS
text message to the administrator.

- For all types of alarms a local alarm indication will sound, which can be interrupted by
briefly pressing the on/off button.

6

If the Mobeye CML2255 is connected to the Mobeye Internet Portal, additional
functions are active:

- The configuration of the Mobeye CML2255 can be done either via the web-based
environment or via the SMS commands as described in this manual.

- In the event of an alarm situation, the Mobeye CML2255 will call the phone
numbers as programmed and send a message to the portal. The portal will
despatch the message to contact persons (SMS and/or e-mail), which are
preconfigured in the portal. The receivers of the alarm messages can differ from
the receivers of the technical messages.

- Logging of the temperature values. As default the temperature values are
measured and logged every 60 minutes and sent to the portal every 12 hours.
The log frequency and synchronisation interval can be adjusted.

- The display of the status and historical events.

- The unit can be given a name and location in the portal, which are used in SMS and

e-mail messages.

- Once connected to the Internet portal, test messages ("keep alive") are sent
regardless the unit is armed or disarmed. The portal will monitor the receipt of the
test messages; if it is not received in time, the portal sends an exception
message to the - set in the portal - (service) contact persons. In this way the
communication between the Mobeye CML2255 and the portal is checked
(default: every 7 days).

See www.mobeye.eu/portal for more information. The portal can be accessed via
www.mymobeye.eu.

2. GETTING STARTED

To get started with the Mobeye CML2255, at least the following steps need to be taken
in the following order:

1. Insert a SIM card

2. Connect the temperature sensor(s)

3. Insert the batteries

4. Enter the program mode

5. Program at least one telephone number

6. Enter a value for the temperature limits

7. Arming/disarming the system

These steps are further explained in this chapter. After these steps the module will be
operational.

2.1 INSERT A SIM CARD

Open the enclosure by removing the 4 screws and insert a SIM card into the module.
Push the black cover slightly outward to open the holder. Before installing the SIM
card should have PIN code "0000", or PIN code removed.

(A PIN code can be changed or removed by putting the SIM card in to any mobile phone and entering
the 'security' menu)

NB: Make sure the SIM card is inserted before the batteries are inserted. If you
replace a SIM card, first remove the batteries (and remove any other external power
supply). The settings are stored in the device memory.

8

2.2 CONNECT THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR(S)

Plug the external temperature sensor into the
socket and press it firmly. It is possible to connect
two temperature sensors.

2.3 INSERT THE BATTERIES

Insert the two batteries (CR123) in the module. Use the +/- indication for the correct
placement.

2.4 ENTER THE PROGRAM MODE

In order to program the unit, the GSM module needs to be open and connected to the
network. Using external power, the unit is always in program mode.

A battery-operated unit switches to the program mode after inserting the batteries.
First the GSM module establishes network connection. During this time the LED
flashes green and red. Within 10-30 seconds the connection is established and the
status LED starts flashing 1 sec. on/1 sec. off (or stays on continuously in case the first
telephone number has been configured).

The Mobeye CML2255 returns to the program mode by pressing the on/off button for 5
seconds, until the LED starts flashing red/green. Once it has GSM connection it will be
flashing again (or stays on continuously).

As long as the unit is in program mode, the status green LED is on (or flashing 1 sec.
on/1 sec. off if the module has no configuration). During the first 3 minutes, the GSM
module remains active, ready to receive SMS commands. After 3 minutes a time-out
occurs and the GSM module switches off in order to save the batteries. The unit
returns to the low power operational mode.

2.5 PROGRAM AT LEAST ONE TELEPHONE NUMBER

The Mobeye CML2255 is able to send messages up to 5 telephone numbers. The first
telephone number (TEL1) belongs to the administrator. Technical messages (such as
battery low) are sent to the administrator only. Without the administrators’ phone
number, the Mobeye CML2255 cannot function.
When the CML2255 is in initial (factory) status and the batteries are inserted (so the
LED is flashing), the administrators’ number is programmed by calling the telephone
number of the Mobeye CML2255 using the administrators’ phone. The unit will
recognize this number and store it as administrator (TEL1). The administrator will
receive a confirmation SMS text message including the security code. This code is
needed to program the other settings in the unit.

NB: For this way of programming the number recognition in the administrator’s phone

must be ‘on’. To program or change the administrators’ number by SMS command,

please refer to 5.2.

2.6 PROGRAM THRESHOLD VALUES FOR THE INPUTS

A separate high and/or low temperature limit can be set for each temperature sensor.
All limits can be set between -35 and +70 ºC. Negative values are set by placing a “-”
in front of the value.
To enter a temperature limit, be sure the Mobeye CML2255 is in program mode. Send
an SMS text message to the unit with following content for the first sensor:

SMS command lower limit: 1111 LTL1:
example: 1111 LTL1:-5
SMS command upper limit: 1111 HTL1:
example: 1111 HTL1:25

Similar for the second sensor:
SMS command lower limit: 1111 LTL2:
SMS command upper limit: 1111 HTL2:

Please mind the space behind 1111.

10

2.7 SWITCHING ON/OFF

After the previous steps, the Mobeye CML2255 is ready for use and switched on
automatically. It can be switched on and off by the user-defined time schemes or the
button on top. By default this button is ‘locked’, to prevent that the unit can be switched
off by mistake. This can be changed by choosing the value “OFF” for the setting
“BUTTONLOCK” (see 6.20). After unlocking the button, the system can be switched
on and off pressing it for one second.

When the unit is switched off, the green LED is off. When the unit is on, the green
LED blinks once every 3 seconds (battery-powered) or stays ‘on’ continuously (in case
of an external power supply).

In the disarmed status the Mobeye CML2255 will not send alarm notifications. The
functions automatic arming and sending a ‘low battery’ message, are still active.

2.8 CONFIRMATION OF THE ALARM MESSAGE

When the system is triggered it will send alarm notifications. First an SMS text
message is sent to all programmed alarm numbers, followed by a phone call. When
you pick up the phone, you will hear beeps. It is possible to confirm the phone call by
answering the phone and pressing any key. The other alarm numbers will not be
called afterwards.
By switching off the ‘SMS’ function, the system will only call. This prevents the other
numbers being notified by SMS.

11

3. USE OF EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY

Although the Mobeye CML2255 is designed to run on batteries, it is possible to use an
external power supply. In this mode the module is always connected with the GSM
network and therefore always in program mode. When the power fails, the batteries
take over and a power failure message is sent. The module continues operating albeit
in the low power mode. This means the GSM module switches off and only establishes
network connection when it needs to send an alarm notification, test message or low
battery alert.

Connect the external power adapter (or any
other regulated 12VDC power supply) to the
power input of the connector (press on the
green pins to connect the wires):

- V+ (black lead with white stripe) to “+”

- Ground (black lead) to “-“

12

4. USE OF THE INPUTS AND OUTPUT

4.1 CONNECT A SENSOR TO THE INPUT

It is possible to connect two external sensors
to the inputs. As a standard reaction after a
triggered input, the Mobeye CML2255 sends
an SMS text message to the preset numbers
and calls these numbers.

Insert the 2 wires of an external sensor
through the hole of the enclosure to the
inside part and next in the two connectors of
input 1 (press on the green pins for
connecting the wires). It does not matter which wire is connected to which connector.

When using a second input, connect this to input 2.
As default the inputs are programmed as Normally Open (NO) contacts. This means

the inputs are triggered if the input is closed for at least 1 second. In case the contact
is Normally Closed (NC), please refer to paragraph 6.8. If you require the sensor to be

activated for a shorter or longer period before triggering an alarm, please refer to 6.8.

4.2 CONNECT A DEVICE TO THE OUTPUT

The Mobeye CML2255 has an open collector
output, which switches after receiving a
correct SMS or after an alarm. The output
can switch permanently, or just switch for a
pulse time after which the output
automatically switches back (see 6.15).

The maximum load of the output is 200mA.

13

To switch devices, a relay can be placed behind the output with an input voltage of
12VDC. The required switching voltage of the relay depends on the device connected.
NOTE: The output does not work if the CML2255 is battery-operated.

4.3 CONTROL THE OUTPUT VIA SMS COMMAND

If CML2255 has external power, the GSM module is always open, able to receive an
SMS command to switch the output. The output type needs to be ‘RC’ (see next
paragraph).

To switch the output, send following SMS command to the unit:

CODE O1ON

example: 1111 O1ON
To switch off the output, send following SMS command to the unit:

CODE O1OFF

example: 1111 O1OFF
Be aware of the space after 1111.

The output has a pulse time of 5 second in the factory defaults (see 6.17).

4.4 OUTPUT BEHAVIOUR

The output can be switched by SMS command when the unit is powered externally, or
automatically after an alarm (ALARM). The output remains on as long as the unit
remains in alarm status. For controlling the output via SMS command the output
behaviour should be ‘RC’ (remote control). The pulse time defines the duration of
switching (see 6.17). By default, this value is ALARM.

To set the output behaviour, send following SMS command to the unit:
OUTPUT:
example: 1111 OUTPUT:ALARM

14

5. CONFIGURATION

To program the Mobeye CML2255, the GSM module must have network connection.
In case only batteries are used, first switch the unit to the program mode. Next send
SMS commands for the configuration. All settings are stored and will be kept in the
unit, even in case the power supplies are removed.

5.1 PROGRAM MODE

If the unit is connected to an external power supply, the CML2255 has continuous
network connection and the unit is permanently in program mode.
If the unit is battery-powered the program mode can be achieved by pressing the
on/off button for 5 seconds, until the LED starts flashing red and green. Alternatively,
the program mode can be accessed by (re) inserting the batteries.

First the GSM module establishes network connection. During this time the LED
flashes green/red. Normally this takes 10-30 seconds. Once the connection is
established the status LED starts flashing 1 sec. on/1 sec. off (or stays on continuously
in case the first telephone number has been configured).

In program mode, the device is ready to receive SMS commands. If no correct
command is received for 3 minutes, the GSM module switches off in order to save the
batteries. The unit returns to the low power operational mode.

The program mode is interrupted by pressing the on/off button for one second until the
LED switches off. The unit is switched off completely (disarmed).

15

5.2 THE (SECURITY) CODE

For configuration activities the (security) code of the Mobeye CML2255 must be used.
The initial (security) code is ‘1111’. You can change the (security) code to your own
code. See section 4.4.

5.3 PROGRAMMING THE SETTINGS BY SMS

To program the settings by SMS text message:

1. Make sure the CML2255 is in program mode (please refer to 5.1).

2. Send an SMS text message with the (security) code and the command.

3. The green LED blinks 3 times to indicate the successful configuration. In case of

an incorrect command, the red LED flashes 5 times.

SMS messages have the following content: CODE COMMAND:OPTION

- Do not forget the space character between (security) code and command.

- The commands are case insensitive.

- Several commands may be combined in one SMS message (with a maximum of

160 characters) by placing a # between the commands.

CODE COMMAND:OPTION#COMMAND:OPTION#COMMAND:OPTION

See section 5.4 for a full list of SMS commands.

Similar for TEXT3 ... TEXT10
example: 1111 TEXT4:freezer too cold

6.5 SMS ON/OFF

By default, the Mobeye CML2255 sends alarm notifications via text message and calls
(you will hear a beep signal) to the preset contact persons. By turning off the SMS, the
unit will only call after a triggered input.

20

SMS command enable / disable SMS: SMS:ON or SMS:OFF
example: 1111 SMS:OFF

6.6 CALL ON/OFF

By default, the Mobeye CML2255 sends alarm notifications via text message and calls
the preset contact persons. By turning off the CALL, the unit will only send an SMS
text message as alarm notification. It is not possible to switch off both the SMS and the
call.

SMS command enable / disable call: CALL:ON or CALL:OFF
example: 1111 CALL:ON

6.7 TEMPERATURE DELAY TIME

The temperature delay time defines the duration a temperature limit is violated before
an alarm is initiated. If the temperature returns to the non-alarm status within the delay
time, no alarm is sent. For each temperature input a delay time can be set. The time
can be set between 0 and 999 minutes.
As default, the temperature delay time is set to 0 minutes.

SMS command temperature delay time sensor 1: DELAYTEMP1:
SMS command temperature delay time sensor 2: DELAYTEMP2:
example: 1111 DELAYTEMP1:15

6.8 ALARM DELAY TIME

The input delay time defines the time that the input is triggered before an alarm is
initiated. If the input returns to the non-alarm status within the delay time, no alarm is
sent. The time can be set between 0 and 999 seconds. As default, the input delay time
is set to 1 second.

SMS command alarm delay input 1: DELAY1:
SMS command alarm delay input 2: DELAY2:
example: 1111 DELAY1:999

21

6.9 INPUT TYPE

The input type defines the character of the inputs IN1 and IN2. This can be Normally
Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC). If an input is set to NO, the alarm will be
triggered as soon as the terminals of the input are closed. If the input is set to NC, the
alarm is triggered when the connection between the input terminals is broken. The
default input type is set to NO.

SMS command input type input 1: TYPEIN1:NO or TYPEIN1:NC
SMS command input type input 2: TYPEIN2:NO or TYPEIN2:NC
example: 1111 TYPEIN1:NC

6.10 INACTIVE TIME

The “inactive time” defines the time an input is not active after an activation. During the
inactive time, no new alarm message will be sent. Only when the input returned to the
non-alarm status, gets activated again and remains active, an alarm will be sent yet
after the inactive time. If the time is set to “0” (minutes), the input will be active again
immediately after returning to the non-alarm status. The time can be set between 0
and 60 minutes. As default, the inactive time is set to “0”.

SMS command inactive time input 1: INACTIVEIN1:
SMS command inactive time input 2: INACTIVEIN2:
example: 1111 INACTIVEIN2:45

6.11 ALARM REPEAT TIME

In order to emphasize the urgency of the alarm messages, all alarms can be repeated.
As long as the input has not returned to the inactive status, the SMS alarm will be
repeated after the ‘alarm repeat time’. The time can be set between 0 and 999
minutes. As default the alarm repeat time is set to 0 minutes.

SMS command alarm repeat time: REPEAT:
example: 1111 REPEAT:20

22

6.12 POWER FAILURE DELAY TIME

If the Mobeye CML2255 is powered externally and the power fails it can notify the
contact person(s). The power failure delay time defines the time between the initial
power failure and the alarm notification. If the power is restored within the delay time,
no alarm is sent. The time can be set between 0 and 999 minutes and is only accepted
if the POWERMESSAGE is set to ‘ALARM’. As default, the delay time is set to 0.

SMS command power failure delay time: DELAYPOW:
example: 1111 DELAYPOW:15

6.13 POWER FAILURE MESSAGE

If the Mobeye CML2255 is powered externally and the power fails it sends an SMS
text message to the programmed telephone numbers followed by a call (setting
‘ALARM’), following the on/off settings of ‘CALL’ and ‘SMS’. Power restore results in
an SMS alert to all numbers. This setting can be set to ‘ALERT’ or ‘OFF’. If the setting
is ‘ALERT’ the power failure message and restore will be sent as SMS to the TEL1
(administrator). The setting ‘OFF’ means that no power failure message is sent. The
default setting for the ‘power failure message’ is set to “ALARM”.

SMS command power failure message: POWERMESSAGE:ALARM
(or ALERT or OFF)
example: 1111 POWERMESSAGE:ALERT

6.14 UNIT OF TEMPERATURE

The temperature can be programmed and displayed in degrees Celsius (C) or
Fahrenheit (F). If the unit was set to F, the temperature limits can be set between

-30 °F and 158 °F. As default this unit is set to C.
SMS command unit of temperature: TEMPUNIT:

example: 1111 TEMPUNIT:F

23

6.15 TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION

The high quality temperature sensor is digital and calibrated at the factory. For special
applications it is possible to calibrate the sensor and program a correction. The
adjusted temperature will be used in the measurement and reports. For each
temperature sensor a calibration can be entered.
Example: the Mobeye CML2255 measures 13 °C. Actual ambient temperature: 13,5
°C. To adjust this difference, +0,5 degrees shall be programmed.

SMS-command calibration sensor 1: TOFFSET1:
SMS-command calibration sensor 2: TOFFSET2:
example: 1111 TOFFSET1:0,5

6.16 ALARM INDICATION

The CML2255 has an internal piezo siren, which sounds at an alarm and keeps
sounding as long as the unit is in alarm status. The siren can be interrupted by briefly

pressing the on/off button. The alarm indication can be disabled, so it won’t sound at

all (OFF). As default this indication is set to ‘ON’.
SMS command alarm indication: ALARMSOUND:

example: 1111 ALARMSOUND:OFF

6.17 PULSE TIME OUTPUT

The pulse time or switch time of the output is adjustable between 1 and 9999 seconds.
The pulse time indicates how long the output remains switched after a telephone
number sends CODE O1ON (e.g. 1111 O1ON), before it automatically switches back
again. If the pulse time is set to 0 seconds, the output will not automatically switch
back. It may be switched back by SMS command CODE O1OFF. By default, the pulse
time is set to "0" second.

SMS command pulse time output: TO1:
example: 1111 TO1:45

24

6.18 OUTPUT BEHAVIOUR

The output can switch automatically when the unit is powered externally, or after an
alarm (ALARM). The output remains on as long as the unit remains in alarm status.

For controlling the output via SMS command the output behaviour should be ‘RC’

(remote control). The pulse time defines the duration of switching (see 6.17). By
default, this value is set to ALARM.

To set the output behaviour, send following SMS command to the unit:
SMS command output behaviour: OUTPUT:

example: 1111 OUTPUT:ALARM

6.19 AUTOMATIC ARMING / DISARMING

The Mobeye CML2255 only works if the unit is armed, which is done via the on/off
button. It is possible to automatically arm and disarm the unit, based on an arming
and/or disarming time scheme. Two schemes can be entered, which can be assigned
to the days in the week (e.g. to have a different weekend scheme).
For arming/disarming automatically, the internal clock time needs to be correct. Some
telecom providers offer this in the network, which the Mobeye CML2255 synchronizes
during start-up and after sending test messages. It is possible to set the time manually.
To view the clock time, request a list of the settings by sending the command 1111
SET?.

To set the actual date:
SMS command actual date: DATE:

To set the actual time:
SMS command actual time: TIME:

To set a daily arming scheme:
SMS command arming scheme 1: TIMEARM1:

To set a daily disarming scheme:
SMS command disarming scheme 1: TIMEDISARM1:

25

To set a second daily arming scheme:
SMS command arming scheme 2: TIMEARM2:
To set a second daily disarming scheme:

SMS command disarming scheme 2: TIMEDISARM2:
example: 1111 TIMEDISARM2:1455

As default the automatic (dis) arming times are valid for all days. It is possible to
assign them to a few days in the week. In this way it is possible to have two different
schemes, which are valid on different days.

To assign TIMEARM and/or TIMEDISARM to weekdays:

SMS command to assign ‘scheme 1’: DAYS1:
SMS command to assign ‘scheme 2’: DAYS2:

As value the weekdays can be entered. Monday is 1, Tuesday is 2, etc. If the scheme
is valid for several days, the days can be entered in one command (e.g. 12345 means
Monday till Friday).
examples: 1111 DAYS1:12345
1111 DAYS2:67

6.20 BUTTONLOCK

It can be useful to lock the on/off button to prevent the unit from being switched off
unintentionally. In the ‘buttonlock’ mode the button is still available to get in the
program mode. As default the buttonlock is ON (so, the button is disabled). To enable
the button, the buttonlock needs to be switched to OFF.

SMS command buttonlock: BUTTTONLOCK:
example: 1111 BUTTONLOCK:OFF

26

6.21 TEST MESSAGE

The Mobeye CML2255 can send regular test SMS messages (keep alive) to the
administrator (first phone number), to ensure the proper functioning of the unit. The
test message function is only active if the unit is armed.
The timing of the test message is determined by the time of programming. The test
time can also be programmed.
The interval between the test messages can be set between 0 days (no test message)
and 30 days. The default test interval is set to 0 (no test message).

SMS command interval test message: TEST:
example: 1111 TEST:21

6.22 ADDITIONAL LOG FUNCTIONS IN THE MOBEYE INTERNET PORTAL

The Mobeye CML2255 can run standalone and is ready for use, after inserting a SIM
card from any provider. However, with a subscription to the Mobeye SIM / portal
services and a registration in the Mobeye Internet Portal (www.mymobeye.eu) the
Mobeye CML2255 offers additional features such as logging of temperature values.
The logging interval is the interval in which the measured values are logged (with a
timestamp). The data are stored in the system until the next data transfer. When
transferring data, the recorded values are sent to the Portal. The logging interval can
be set between 0 and 999 minutes. The default logging interval is set at 60 (minutes).
The transmission interval can be set between 1 and 999 hours. The standard
transmission interval is set to 12 (hours).

To change the logging interval:
SMS command log interval: LOGINTERVAL:

To change the data transfer interval:
SMS command transfer interval: TRANSFERINTERVAL:

6.23 SYSTEM RESET

To reset the Mobeye CML2255 to its factory settings:

1. Remove the batteries (and external power supply).

2. Press the outside button while reinserting the batteries. Keep it pressed for

(about) another 5 seconds.

3. Release the button immediately after the LED starts to flash.

4. If relevant, connect the external power supply.

After a successful reset, the status LED on the keypad will blink green to indicate that
