Introduction This manual explains the hardware aspects of Adcon’s A753 addWAVE GSM/GPRS Series 4 remote telemetry units, including installation issues and certain parameter configurations. The manual is divided as follows: •Introduction, which gives some general information and document conventions. •Using the addWAVE, which details the installation and use of the remote telemetry unit. •Performing Advanced Functions, which discusses connectors and controllers and provides other information for advanced users. •Specifications, which describes operating parameters for the devices. About the A753 addWAVE GSM/GPRS Series 4 The A753 addWAVE GSM/GPRS Series 4 remote telemetry unit (RTU) is a low-power, GSM/GPRS-based telemetry device with four digital I/O ports, twelve analog inputs, and four counter inputs. The A753 incorporates a GSM module and uses the standard GSM network for retrieving telemetry data (900/1800 MHz in Europe, 850/ 1900 MHz in the US). The A753 is a ruggedized RTU, complying with the IP65 ingress protection class (NEMA 4). Depending on topography, it ensures a reliable wireless connection to your cellular service provider. Your provider’s cellular network must cover the site where you want to CHAPTER 1 Conventions 6 install the RTU. The maximum theoretical distance to a base station of your provider is approximately 35km, due to timing constraints of the GSM system. The A753 operates in conjunction with the A840 and A850 Telemetry Gateway only. Due to its construction as well as to the software controlling it, the power consumption is extremely low. The unit operates off an internal 6.2 Volt rechargeable battery, which is charged either by a solar panel or an external power adapter. A special configuration can be implemented where no internal battery is used, rather the power is obtained exclusively over an external connector. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions: 1. This device must not cause harmful interference. 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that might cause undesired operation. 3. Any changes to the device other than those mentioned in this manual void the FCC type of approval. Conventions Certain conventions apply in this document.

RF exposure compliance issues: This telemetry device is normally used only at fixed locations far away from persons. It is collecting data from various sensors and transmitting it through the GSM network. According to OET Bulletin 65 for fixed transmitters operating in the Cellular Radiotelephone Service band or in the broadband PCS band evaluation is not required when the total power of all channels used is below or equal to 1000 W ERP or 2000 W ERP respectively. This device only uses one channel in the Cellular Radiotelephone Service band at 850 MHz with a maximum power output of 2 Watts, and ERP not exceeding 7 Watts or one channel in the PCS 1900 MHz Band with a maximum power output of 1 Watt, and ERP not exceeding 2 Watts. So this device is excluded from routine evaluation. It must be operated only as fixed device, never should be used as mobile or portable device.
