Environmental recommendations
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.
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.

ATIM_ACW-DINDIO_868_UG_EN_V1.3
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.
Direct-current symbol
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.
Waste disposal by users in private households within the European Union. This symbol appears on a
product or its packaging to indicate that the product may not be discarded with another household waste.
Rather, it is your responsibility to dispose of this product by bringing it to a designated collection point for
the recycling of electrical and electronic devices. Collection and recycling waste separately at the time you
dispose of it helps to conserve natural resources and ensure a recycling process that respects human health
and the environment. For more 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.
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 authorisation required) for industrial,
scientific and medical applications.

Set up
a. Positioning
This version was designed for installation in an electrical box made of PVC or metal. If the cabinet is
made of insulating material (PVC, ABS, fiberglass), it is possible to simply use a small whip-wave
antenna: Ref ATIM ANT868-12FSC. This antenna must be firmly screwed on the SMA connector and
positioned vertically, preferably upwards.
➔In the case of a metal box, it is imperative to deport the antenna to the outside to have good
results in radio (avoid the Faraday cage!)
For best results, it is advisable to move the antenna up and clear of any metal obstacle within a radius
of 1 meter if possible.
b. Modem connection
Terminals:
Antenna (SMA):
Before powering the product, a 50Ω / 868MHz antenna must be connected, either
directly to the SMA connector or via a 50Ω cable in case of antenna offset.
Alimentation (Lower terminal):
The ACW-DIO module must be powered with a continuous power supply between 10V
and 30V.
OUT (Lower terminal):
The logic output is MOSFET current source (N channel), 10-30Vdc. The maximum
charging current is 0.2A.
IN1/IN2 (Upper terminal):
You can connect up to two inputs in 10-30Vdc positive logic. The filter of the input is 250
ms. The maximum recommended cable length and 1 meter.
USB:
The USB connector is used to configure the ACW via a PC and a USB cable.
➔The configuration must be done with the device powered by 10 / 30Vdc.

Configuration du modem
Download and install the configuration software '' setupACW.exe '' at:
http://www.atim.com/produit/atim-cloud-wireless-acw/
Connect the module to your computer with a USB cable and then launch the software.
When you connect the module, the software window changes to allow you to access the main features.
Automatically, the current configuration of the connected module is retrieved and displayed.
a. Local mode configuration 868MHz
✓Operating mode
Three operating modes are available: slave, master or mirror.
oSlave mode it is your remote device that will interrogate the ACW-DIO.
oIn Master mode, the ACW-DINDIO will periodically send (from 10min to 24h) or on a change
of state the values of the recorded entries.
oIn Mirror mode, communication is done between two ACW-DIOs every 500ms. A copy of the
input and output is performed between two remote modems. One of the two modems must
be identified as master and the other as a slave, which can be defined in the "Operating mode"
window of the "Mirror" tab.
✓Inputs configuration
The ACW-DINDIO module has 2 configurable inputs. Each entry can be activated or not. The signal
must be made by a 10-30V contact.
✓Radio parameters
oThe radio channel must be the same between your different devices wanting to communicate
together.
oThe baudrate must be the same between your different equipment wanting to communicate
together.

10
ATIM_ACW-DINDIO_868_UG_EN_V1.3
oThe modem address is the address of your ACW-DINDIO, each modem must have a different
address.
oThe remote address is the address of the device with which you want to communicate.
oTimeOut acts as a watchdog. It is configurable from 0 (disabled) to 10 seconds. If no frame
has arrived at the product within this time, then the modem output goes to 0.
If you do not set one of the statement periods fields. When you click the Write key, an Invalid message
will appear next to it and a window will indicate which field is in default.
✓Setup
Once you have completed the configuration, click on the Write button to validate it. After a few
seconds of waiting, a message appears next to it to inform you if the module update succeeded or
failed.
Note
This is when the module synchronizes with the time of your PC.
✓Default
Resets the original values. After clearing the saved values, you can configure the ACW-DIO again.
Once the configuration is complete, do not leave the module connected to USB. This mode
of operation is very energy intensive. When you remove the USB link without disconnecting
the power, the modem automatically returns to normal operation. On power up, a first radio
transmission is made in the 60s.
Lights meaning
In USB configuration mode, the green LED flashes slowly until the configuration is completed and the
USB cable is removed.
a. Local 868MHz
The green status indicator illuminates when the product is powered. After a few seconds, a data
transmission is performed. If the request is successful, the green LED illuminates briefly, in case of a
failure the red LED lights up.
