Declaration of compliance
All ACW Atim Cloud Wireless®products comply with the regulatory requirements of the R&TTE Directive
(1999/5/EC), article 3:
1 SAFETY (Article 3.1a of the 1999/5/EC Directive)
NF EN60950-1 Ed. 2006/A1:2010/A11:2009/A12:2011 (health)
EN62479: 2010 (power <20mW) or EN62311:2008 (power > 20mW)
2 Electromagnetic Compatibility (Article 3.1b of the 1999/5/EC Directive)
EN 301489-3 v1.4.1, EN 301489-1 V1.9.2
3 Efficient use of the radio frequency spectrum (Art.3.2 of the 1999/5/EC Directive)
ETSI EN300 220-2 v2.4.1 and EN300 220-1 v2.4.1
The modemsof the ACW range are part of the radiocommunication modems using the ISM (Scientific Medical Industry)
bands which can be used freely (free of charge and without authorization) for industrial, scientific and medical
applications.
Environmental recommendations
a. Explosive atmosphere
Except for the ACW-ATEX line specifically intended for this purpose, do not use ACW radio modems in the presence of
flammable gases or fumes. Using the equipment in such an environment constitutes a safety hazard.
b. Environment
Respect the temperature ranges for storage and operation of all products. Failing to respect these guidelines could
disrupt device operation or damage the equipment. ACW products in IP65 water- and dust-resistant housings may be
placed outdoors, but must not, under any circumstances, be submerged.
Follow the instructions and warnings provided below to ensure your own safety and that of the environment and to
protect your device from any potential damage.

information on the recycling centre closest to your home, contact your closest local government office, your local
waste management service or the business from which you purchased the product.
c. Radio
Modems in the ACW line are radio-communication modems that use the ISM (industrial, scientific and medical)
bands, which may be used freely (at no cost and with no authorization required) for industrial, scientific and medical
applications.
General hazard –Failure to follow the instructions presents a risk of equipment damage.
Electrical hazard –Failure to follow the instructions presents a risk of electrocution and physical injury.
WARNING: do not install this equipment near any source of heat or any source of humidity.
WARNING: for your safety, it is essential that this equipment be switched off and disconnected from mains
power before carrying out any technical operation on it.
WARNING: the safe operation of this product is ensured only when it is operated in accordance with its intended
use. Maintenance may only be performed by qualified personnel.

ACW-MR Product line
ACW-MR product line regroups different types of radio equipment which allow pulse metering, dry contacts and fraud
detection.
Each device of this product line is available in LoRaWAN and Sigfox version and are delivered with removable batteries.
They can be parametrized through intern switches or via downlink frames on the network (exclusively on LoRaWAN
version).
ACW-MR4
The ACW-MR4 is a sensor used for remote metering monitoring (gas, water, electricity, pluviometer
meters…) or for remote bang-bang equipment control (eg: starting up/shutting down,
opening/closing...).
This sensor can be connected to 4 independent equipment when they are close enough, allowing
devices and network plans savings.
The ACW-MR4 is delivered with two Lithium 3.6V removable batteries packs with a total capacity of
14400 mAh.
CAPT-OPT2 & CAPT-MECA
In addition to the ACW-MR4, there are 2
metering sensors options: an integrated optical
sensor, this plug and play device monitors
remotely the consumption of an LED optical
electrical meter (eg: Linky meters, PME-PMI
meters) or an integrated mechanical sensor
which traduces the rotation of the meter index
into pulses and then to energy consumption. It
is delivered and pre-set to memorize the
consumption index every 10 minutes and send
the last 6 every hour.
CAPT-DOCK
In addition to the ACW-MR4, there is an industrial detector opening/closing
door/window/trap. Coupled with an ACW-MR4, it comes wired and
preconfigured for immediate installation. This sensor is generally used for
intrusion detection. It is also suitable for monitoring Skydome openings or for
checking the presence of objects in their parking area. Data is sent through
LPWAN technologies (Sigfox / LoRaWAN).
