2. PRODUCT OPERATION
2.1. Global Operation
Important: adeunis® use the most significant byte first format.
The product has several operating modes:
2.1.1 PARK mode
The product is delivered in PARK mode, it is in standby mode and its consumption is minimal. To switch the product out of the Park* Mode pass
a magnet across it for a duration higher than 6 seconds. The green LED illuminates to indicate the detection of the magnet and then flashes
quickly during the product starting phase.
The device then sends its configuration and data frames.
2.1.2 COMMAND mode
This mode allows the user to configure the registers of the product.
To enter this mode, connect a cable to the micro-USB port of the product and enter the command mode by an AT command (see paragraph 3).
2.1.3 OPERATING mode
This mode allows the user to operate the product in its final use. It should allow a maximum of autonomy to the product.
2.1.4 Management of the low battery
When the product detects that the battery is not anymore in capacity to deliver the energy needed to send a frame (extreme temperatures or
end-of-life of the battery) it waits to be in capacity to transmit. If it detects that the delay generated is longer than 1 minute it informs the user
via the “battery low” flag in the status byte of each frame.

2.2.3 Periodic transmission with redundancy
The product enables to ad redundancy in the frame with historisation (cf scheme here under). Thanks to redundancy the product will memorize
a certain number of data and send them again in the next frame.
The parameters associated with this mode of operation are:
• Historisation period (register 321) and sending frequency (register 301)
• Enabling and Configuring inputs (register 320)
• Number of data to be repeated (register 340).
Example with redundancy:
Register Encoding Value Result
S320 Hexadecimal 0x39 Channel A :
• Activated
• Meter different than gas
• Tamper input activated
Channel B :
• Activated
• Gas meter
• Tamper input deactivated
S301 Decimal 2 Sending every 4 historisations (saving)
S321 Decimal 1800 Historisation of the channel A and channel B index every
hours (1800x2seconds = 60 minutes)
S322 Hexadecimal 0x57 Anti-rebound :
• Channel A = 500ms
• Channel B = 100ms
S340 Decimal 2 2 redundant data per frame
In this example:
• 1 historisation of the index each hours (1800x2seconds = 60 minutes)
• 1 sending every 2 savings so every 2 hours
• The 2 channel of the product are activated so the 2 periodic frame are sent (0x5A et 0x5B)
• When it is possible, the product will send for each channel the 2 recent index and the last 2 index memorized

2.2.5 Tamper detection
The product allows detection of state change on the tamper input of each channel (rising edge detected on the input normally held to ground).
The product wakes up regularly (according to the periods defined in registers S332 and S334) and checks the status of the tamper input of each
of the channels having active fraud detection.
The tamper alarm is stored if there are several successive detections (configurable in registers S333 and S335) and transmitted within the next
daily frame.
The alarm is automatically deactivated after the daily frame is sent.
The settings associated with this mode of operation are:
• Enabling and Configuring inputs (register 320)
• Fraud detection period 1 (register 332)
• Threshold for fraud detection 1 (register S333)
• Fraud detection period 2 (register 334)
• Threshold for fraud detection 2 (register S335)
