3 Power Supply

3.1 Supply voltage requirements

The DC power supply must be connected to the POWER input:

• Input voltage range 5 - 36V DC

• Nominal Voltage 12V DC

Application of the supply voltage does not switch the modem on. To do so an additional active-high control signal, TO_IN, must be applied for > 0.2s. Please see chapter 3.3 Switching on the modem for further important details about TO_IN and power supply requirements, especially if TO_IN is applied in parallel to VCC.

VCC and GND are reverse-polarity and over-voltage protected. Please note: this does not apply for the GND on the antenna connector if this coax GND/shield is connected to your applications groundplane.

NOTE: In case that power supply equipment is to be ordered, its conformity needs to be verified with the mains supply voltage, frequency, connector type and other national requirements (e.g. certifications) in the countries of its use.

3.1.1 Power Connector

An RJ11 6-way connector, as shown and described below, serves as a means of supplying and controlling DC power to the modem.

3.3 Switching the GT864 Terminal ON and OFF

In this paragraph will be explained the way to switch the GT864 Terminals ON or OFF. There are two ways to switch on the modem, once power is applied.

• either assert TO_IN high for > 0.2s;

• or activate the RS232 control line DTR, high for > 0.2s.

The modem is fully operational after 4 seconds. Logging onto a network may take longer than this and is outside the control of the modem. The modem can be configured to start up at the time power is applied by permanently tying power connector signals TO_IN (pin 4) and VCC (pin 1) together. In this case DTR must be used to switch the modem on again after it has been switched off or reset, while power is still applied.

NOTE: DTR must be cycled from low to high. NOTE: The TO_IN signal requires a positive “edge” (a “sharp” signal transition from low to high) to

turn the modem on. This transition should be a rising signal from 0V (GND) to VCC, or at least a large fraction of that voltage range, and must be applied at the same time as VCC or after it. Very slow transitions (significantly slower than many milliseconds) or very small transitions (e.g. only a few volts instead of 0V to VCC) will not turn on the module (since they are not considered to be a “positive edge”). Although this will not be an issue in almost all typical applications of the modem, under the following condition special design care has to be taken:

• large capacitors in your power supply which will lead to slow leading and falling edges (issue does not apply with modern stabilized switching regulator power-adaptors) AND TO_IN tied in parallel to VCC (instead of separate dedicated digital signal)

• slow analogue signals used to assert TO_IN

• TO_IN is asserted before VCC is asserted

All 3 cases above might prevent the modem from recognizing the power-up signal this is no failure of the modem itself, the same would apply to almost any electronic device that provides a separate “power-on” or “reset” signal. If you are in doubt, please

•

use the mains power adapter that is provided by your distributor and is known to work

properly with your modem

•

make sure that your signal and system design is according to the above

•

consult our support team that will be more than happy to assist you.

There are three ways to switch off (power down) the modem as described below:

• either use the AT#SHDN command;

• HR_IN t=? (defined in the paragraph 3.1.1)

• DTR permanently to GND

A delay of up to 10s is experienced as the modem logs off the network

A full system reset, independent of the status of the software, may be applied to the modem as follows:

•

HR_IN t=? (defined in the paragraph 3.1.1)

4 Mini USB type connector

There exist several different variants of the terminal module, all in (almost) the same housing, and all equipped with the mini USB-type connector:

• Audio connector: The GT864-QUAD Terminal provides "audio signals" on that connector, so you can connect a handset or microphone/speaker system here (available only for the GT864QUAD)

• GPIO: The programmable GT864-PY provides digital inputs on that connector, so you can use external digital signals to control the behaviour of the terminal thereby (available only for the GT864-PY)

By their nature these 2 different signals are completely different regarding voltage levels, signal direction and applied energy. Especially the audio signals are quite sensitive to over-voltage, but are only protected against it to a limited extend, since otherwise the audio signal would be significantly detoriated. So please make sure you are using the right variant for your application and do not mix up different variants - especially do not drive any digital signals into the USB-type-connector of the audio-variant, since that might seriously damage the device.

The USB connector supports the connectivity of a headset or any other audio equipment using the analogue microphone and loudspeaker interface of GT864-QUAD/PY Terminal. The table below describes the signals on the USB connector.

5 Antenna

5.1 General

The antenna is the component in your system that maintains the radio link between the network and the modem. Since the antenna transmits and receives electromagnetic energy, its efficient function will depend on:

•

the type of antenna (for example, circular or directional);

•

the placement of the antenna;

•

communication disturbances in the vicinity in which the antenna operates.

In the sections below, issues concerning antenna type, antenna placement, antenna cable, and possible communication disturbances are addressed. In any event, you should contact your local antenna manufacturer for additional information concerning antenna type, cables, connectors, antenna placement, and the surrounding area. You should also determine whether the antenna needs to be grounded or not. Your local antenna manufacturer might be able to design a special antenna suitable for your application.

5.1.1 Antenna type

Make sure that you choose the right type of antenna for the modem. Consider the following requirements:

•

the antenna must be designed for the one of the frequency bands in use; please ask your

network provider for more information:

•

GSM 850/900 MHz

•

GSM 1800/1900 MHz;

•

the impedance of the antenna and antenna cable must be 50Ω;

•

the antenna output-power handling must be a minimum of 2W;

•

the VSWR value should be less than 3:1 to avoid any damage to the modem.

5.1.2 Antenna placement

The antenna should be placed away from electronic devices or other antennas. The recommended minimum distance between adjacent antennas, operating in a similar radio frequency band, is at least 50cm. If signal strength is weak, it is useful to face a directional antenna at the closest radio base station. This can increase the strength of the signal received by the modem. The modem’s peak output power can reach 2W. RF field strength varies with antenna type and distance. At 10cm from the antenna the field strength may be up to 70V/m and at 1m it will have reduced to 7V/m. In general, CEmarked products for residential and commercial areas, and light industry can withstand a minimum of 3V/m.

GT864-QUAD/PY Hardware User Guide

1vv0300756 Rev.0 08/05/07

5.1.2.1 The antenna cable

Use 50Ω impedance low-loss cable and high-quality 50Ω impedance connectors (frequency range up to 2GHz) to avoid RF losses. Ensure that the antenna cable is as short as possible. The Voltage Standing-Wave Ratio (VSWR) may depend on the effectiveness of the antenna, cable and connectors. In addition, if you use an adapter between the antenna cable and the antenna connector, it is crucial that the antenna cable is a high-quality, low-loss cable. Minimize the use of extension cables, connectors and adapters. Each additional cable, connector or adapter causes a loss of signal power.

5.1.2.2 Antenna Connector

The Telit GT864 Terminal antenna connector allows transmission of radio frequency (RF) signals between the modem and an external customer-supplied antenna. The modem is fitted with a 50Ω FME male coaxial jack.

7 Safety and Product Care

Please read the information in this section and the information in “Installation of the Modem”, before starting your integration work!

7.1 General precautions

The GT864-QUAD/PY Terminal as a stand alone item is designed for indoor use only. To use outside it must be integrated into a weatherproof enclosure. Do not exceed the environmental and electrical limits as specified in “Technical Data”.

•

Avoid exposing the modem to lighted cigarettes, naked flames or to extreme hot or cold

temperature.

•

Never try to dismantle the modem yourself. There are no components inside the modem that can

be serviced by the user. If you attempt to dismantle the modem, you may invalidate the warranty.

•

The GT864-QUAD/PY Terminal must not be installed or located where the surface temperature

of the plastic case may exceed 85°C.

•

All cables connected to the GT864-QUAD/PY Terminal must be secured or clamped, immediately adjacent to the modem's connectors, to provide strain relief and to avoid transmitting excessive vibration to the modem in the installation.

•

Ensure the d.c. cable, supplying power to the GT864-QUAD/PY Terminal, does not exceed 3 metres.

•

To protect power supply cables and meet the fire safety requirements when the unit is powered from a battery or a high current supply, connect a fast 1.25A fuse in line with the positive supply.

•

Do not connect any incompatible component or product to the GT864-QUAD/PY Terminal.

7.2 SIM card precautions

Before handling the SIM card in your application, ensure that you are not charged with static electricity. Use proper precautions to avoid electrostatic discharges.

•

When the SIM card hatch is opened, the SIM card connectors lie exposed under the SIM card holder. Caution: Do not touch these connectors! If you do, you may release an electrical discharge that could

damage the modem or the SIM card.

GT864-QUAD/PY Hardware User Guide

1vv0300756 Rev.0 08/05/07

•

When designing your application, the SIM card’s accessibility should be taken into account. We always recommend that you have the SIM card protected by a PIN code. This will ensure that the SIM

card cannot be used by an unauthorized person.

7.3 Antenna precautions

If the antenna is to be mounted outside, consider the risk of lightning. Follow the instructions provided by the antenna manufacturer.

•

Never connect more than one modem to a single antenna. The modem can be damaged by radio frequency energy from the transmitter of another modem.

•

Like any mobile station, the antenna of the modem emits radio frequency energy. To avoid EMI (electromagnetic interference), you must determine whether the application itself, or equipment in the application’s proximity, needs further protection against radio emission and the disturbances it might cause. Protection is secured either by shielding the surrounding electronics or by moving the antenna away from the electronics and the external signals cable.

•

The modem and antenna may be damaged if either come into contact with ground potentials other than the one in your application. Beware, ground potential are not always what they appear to be.

8 Installation of the modem

This chapter gives you advice and helpful hints on how to integrate the GT864-QUAD/PY Terminal into your application from a hardware perspective. Please read the information given in “Safety and Product Care”, chapter 7 and then read the information in this section before starting your integration work.

8.1 Where to install the modem

There are several conditions which need to be taken into consideration when designing your application as they might affect the modem and its function. They are:

Environmental conditions: The modem must be installed so that the environmental conditions stated in the GT864-QUAD/PY Product Description, such as temperature, humidity and vibration are satisfied. Additionally, the electrical specifications in the Technical Data section must not be exceeded.

GSM Signal strength: The modem has to be placed in a way that ensures sufficient GSM signal

strength. To improve signal strength, the antenna can be moved to another position. Signal strength may depend on how close the modem is to a radio base station. You must ensure that the location at which you intend to use the modem, is within the network coverage area. Degradation in signal strength can be the result of a disturbance from another source, for example an electronic device in the immediate vicinity. When an application is completed, you can verify signal strength by issuing the AT command AT+CSQ. See “AT+CSQ Signal Strength”.

Tip: Before installing the modem, use an ordinary mobile telephone to check a possible location for it. In determining the location for the modem and antenna, you should consider signal strength as well as cable length.

Connections of components to GT864-QUAD/PY Terminal: The integrator is responsible for the

final integrated system. Incorrectly designed or installed, external components may cause radiation limits to be exceeded. For instance, improperly made connections or improperly installed antennas can disturb the network and lead to malfunctions in the modem or equipment.

Network and Subscription: Before your application is used, you must ensure that your chosen

network provides the necessary telecommunication services. Contact your service provider to obtain the necessary information.

•

If you intend to use SMS in the application, ensure this is included in your (voice)

subscription.

•

Consider the choice of the supplementary services

GT864-QUAD/PY Hardware User Guide

1vv0300756 Rev.0 08/05/07

8.2 How to install the modem

8.2.1 Power supply

•

Use a high-quality power supply cable with low resistance. This ensures that the voltages at the

connector pins are within the allowed range, even during the maximum peak current.

•

When the unit is powered from a battery or a high current supply, connect a fast 1.25A fuse in line

with the positive supply. This protects the power cabling and modem.

8.2.2 Securing the modem

Before securing the modem take into account the amount of additional space required for the mating connectors and cables that will be used in the application.

•

Where access is restricted, it may be easier to connect all the cables to the modem prior to

securing it in the application.

•

Securely attach the GT864-QUAD/PY Terminal modem to the host application using two 3mm

diameter pan-head screws
