2. Description
The GD-01 US provide a reliable data communication link over GSM networks.
The unit has been designed for use in industrial data communication applications
and have several features that are not normally present on standard GSM modems.
The GD-01 US is a DIN-rail mounted modem with RS-232 interface in either a 9-pin
D-sub or in a 5-pin screw terminal.
Features:
… Dual band GSM 850/1900 Mhz
… GPRS
… All configurations are done by industry standard AT-commands
… Serial interface RS-232 D-sub or screw terminal
… 160 characters SMS
… DTR-dialing
… Isolated 12–36 VDC Power supply
… Din-Rail mountable
… LED indicators
The GD-01 US can be used in data communication applications together with other
GSM modems, traditional analogue PSTN modems (like the TD-33) or ISDN adapters
(such as ID-90). Packet switched data can be transferred via the GPRS service.

3. Safety
General:
Before using this unit, read this manual completely and gather all information
on the unit. Make sure that you understand it fully. Check that your application
does not exceed the safe operating specifications for this unit.
Before installation, maintenance or modification work:
Prevent damage to internal electronics from electrostatic discharges (ESD)
by discharging your body to a grounding point (e.g. use of wrist strap).
Hazardous voltage may occur within this unit when connected to power supply.
Prevent access to hazardous voltages by disconnecting the unit from power
supply and all other electrical connections.
Installation:
This unit should only be installed by qualified personnel.
This unit should be built-in to an apparatus cabinet, or similar, where access is
restricted to service personnel only.
The power supply wiring must be sufficiently fused, and if necessary it must be
possible to disconnect manually from the power supply. Ensure compliance to
national installation regulations.
This unit uses convection cooling. To avoid obstructing the air flow around the
unit, follow the spacing recommendations (see Installation section).
3.1 GSM specific
Important safety information / operating environment
Please read and follow the guidelines listed below.The precautions must be observed
during all phases of the operation. Breaking these rules may be dangerous, illegal or affect
performance of the unit and/or invalidate the units approval and/or warranty.
3.1.1 General
Remember to follow any special regulations and warnings in force in any area and never
use the unit whenever it’s forbidden to use it.
Do not use the unit when it may cause interference or danger. A wireless device
exposed to interference above specified limits could result in deteriorated performance.

3.1.2 Hospital / Medical environment
Do not use the unit in a medical environment such as health care facities. Follow any
regulations or rules that instruct you to not use the unit.
Medical equipment may be sensitive to RF energy.
If the unit is being used together with any medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing
aids, etc.) consult the physician and/or the manufacturer of the device to determine if it
is adequately shielded from external RF energy.
3.1.3 Aircraft
Do not use the unit in an aircraft.The use of a wireless unit in an aircraft may be
dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless network, and may be
illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to suspension or denial of cellular services
to the offender, legal action, or both.
3.1.4 Vehicle
If the unit is incorrectly installed in a vehicular environment, the operation of the unit
could interfere with the vehicle electronics. Faulty installation and/or operation can
constitute a safety hazard.
3.1.5 For Vehicles equipped with an airbag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either installed or
portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment
area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
3.1.6 Blasting areas
Do not use the unit where blasting is in progress or in “blasting areas”.
Observe restrictions and follow any regulation or rules.
3.1.7 Explosive atmospheres
Do not use the unit in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Potentially explosive areas are often, but not always, clearly marked.
They include fuelling areas such as petrol stations, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such
as grain, dust, or metal powder.

3.1.8 RF energy
The GD-01 US is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives
and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless unit.
All radio transmitting devices send signals which may cause interference in different
electronic devices.To avoid interference, place the units antenna on a sufficiently long
distance from other electronics.
3.1.9 Critical applications
Cellular units operate using radio signals and cellular networks cannot be guaranteed to
connect in all conditions.Therefore you should never rely solely on a wireless device for
essential communications, for example medical emergencies.
3.1.10 Backup copies
Remember to make backup copies of all important data, for example PIN/PUK codes,
contents of SIM card etc.
3.1.11 Antenna care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the unit and may violate FCC regulations.
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the unit is in use. Contact with the
antenna affects call quality and may cause the unit to operate at a higher power level
than otherwise needed.
The antenna connected to the unit is a magnetic mounted antenna with 0 dBd gain.
Using this antenna the total composite power in PCS mode is smaller than TBD watt ERP.
The antenna used for this mobile transmitter:
Part Number Description Gain Frequency range [MHz]
3193-9047 MiniMag Dual Band 0 dBd 824–894, 1710–1880, 1850–2170
3.2 Caution!
In order to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, install the GD-01 US and its
antenna so that a minimum distance of 20 cm (8 inches) can be maintained between the
antenna in use and all persons.The antenna used for this mobile transmitter must not be
co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
