b. Opening the ACW housing
The housing must be opened to access both the terminal block and the mini-USB
port used to configure the module.
To do this, insert a screwdriver into the slot and tilt it downward to lift the inside
tab (see photo). Then pull on the back panel to separate the two parts of the
housing.
c. Mounting to a support
ACW modems can be mounted on a flat wall, a tube or pole or a DIN rail, depending on the type of installation you
require.
These three types of support frames attach to the rear of the housing.

d. Identification
The Sigfox or LoRaWAN product identifier is visible on the exterior label on the back of the device, on the electronic
card inside and in the status bar in the ACW configuration tool.
For LoRaWAN modems, the communication keys are automatically provided by the network (pairing via ‘Over The Air
Activation’, or OTAA).
Each ATIM ACW product line has a QR Code label visible either on the side or on the front of the product.

e. Placement and installation
Install the modem at least 2 m above the ground and not right against the wall —ideally at least 20 cm away. The
cables must be no longer than 10 m and must be shielded.
For optimal results, we recommend that you place it high up and at least 1 meter away from all metallic objects if
possible (see diagrams below). Note that the antenna is integrated into the housing.
2 m

Operation
The ACW-TM2D-HP measures temperature at time ‘t’ and sends the data by radio on the associated Sigfox or
LoRaWAN network, depending on which model you use.
Two modes of operation are available: Periodic or Energy Saver.
a. Periodic mode (shown as ‘Periodical’ in the configuration tool)
To ensure the most complete telemetry possible, temperature readings are sent on a regular and periodic basis. This
makes it possible to obtain a very precise monitoring curve. In this mode, each reading is sent out by the ACW-TM2D-
HP. In other words, the sampling period is equal to the statement period (= interval at which readings are sent out).
This sampling and statement period is user-configurable, with a minimum value of 10 minutes.
Example of operation in Periodic mode:
On the other hand, because this mode involves regular (and potentially very frequent) radio transmissions, this mode
of operation may consume large amounts of energy, leading to reduced battery life.

13
ATIM_ACW-TM2D-HP_UG_EN_V1.2
b. Energy Saver mode
This mode of operation aims to minimize energy consumption and maximize battery life.
This mode can be configured to send out frames only under certain conditions:
•If temperature readings are stable: a frame is sent out only after a specified period has elapsed (timeout).
•If the temperature variation (in °C) between two consecutive readings is larger than the maximum value
specified by the user.
•If an alert threshold is crossed: a frame is sent out when the temperature reading leaves or re-enters the
comfort zone.
Example of operation in Energy Saver mode:
Phases of operation:
•from 0 to 3 sec: general initialization + USB initialization.
•from 3 to 4 sec: radio initialization.
•from 1 min to 5 min: send out a test frame once per minute.
•at 6 min: send out a keep-alive frame (battery information).
•at 7 min: send out a temperature frame.
Mode of operation (periodic or energy saver) specified by user
•Keep-alive frame sent once per day or once every 4 days.

ACW configuration tool
a. What version of the ACW configuration tool should you use?
For a TM2D with application software version:
Use ACW configuration tool version:
Sigfox: v5.1 or earlier
LoRaWAN: v5.3 or earlier
V3.7.15
Sigfox: v7.10 or earlier
LoRaWAN: v7.10 or earlier
V4.4.0
Download and install the configuration tool ‘setupACW.exe’ at:
https://www.atim.com/download/7887/
When the ACW Configuration Tool is started, the stand-
by window appears on the screen.
Click ‘Help’ at the top left of the window, then click
‘About’ to view the version number of the ACW
Configuration Tool.
Then open the plastic case of your ACW-TM2D module and connect it to your computer with a mini-USB cable.
The product restarts when you connect the USB cable to communicate with the ACW Configurator on your PC. By
unplugging the USB cable, the product enters its normal operating phase and completes its previously started startup
phase.

ATIM_ACW-TM2D-HP_UG_EN_V1.2
b. Configuring the LoRaWAN network pairing mode:
Applies only to ACW/LW8-TM2D-HP.
On LoRaWAN networks, there are two pairing methods by which a module can connect to the network.
OTAA (Over The Air Activation):
In this mode, the communication keys are assigned and transmitted over the network every time the module starts
up or requests a connection. This is the mode that is configured by default.
ABP (Activation By Personalization):
In this mode, the communication keys used are the ones loaded on the module at the factory. Every time the
module starts up, these same keys are used.
When you connect the ACW/LW8-TM2D-HP via USB, the ACW configuration tool automatically detects the module’s
factory settings and displays them in the following window:
The default factory setting uses the OTAA mode.

d. Configuring periodic mode
Once the configuration is complete, do not leave the module connected via USB. This mode of
operation is very energy intensive. When you remove the USB connection without removing the
battery, the module re-initializes itself and automatically returns to normal operation.
e. Factory settings
When it leaves the factory, the TM2D-HP is configured as follows:
-Periodic mode selected by default
Parameters shared by Periodic and Energy Saver modes:
- LoRaWAN pairing: OTAA
- Keep-alive frame sent 1x / day
- Temperature offset of probe 1: 0°C
- Lower threshold of probe 1: 20°C
- Upper threshold of probe 1: 40°C
- Temperature offset of probe 2: 0°C
- Lower threshold of probe 2: 20°C
- Upper threshold of probe 2: 40°C
Parameter for periodic mode:
- Sampling and statement period: 2 hours
Parameters for Energy Saver mode:
- Delta of probe 1: +/- 2°C
- Delta of probe 2: +/- 2°C
- Sampling period in comfort zone: 2 hours (alert frame sent out if delta value is exceeded or if upper or
lower threshold is crossed)
- Statement period when temperature is stable within comfort zone: 8 hours
- Sampling and statement period outside comfort zone: 2 hours

BEWARE: Probes 1 and 2 each have a low threshold and a high threshold that is specific to them.
The temperature is calculated with the following formula: Digital temperature * 0.0625
BEWARE: A temperature value equals to « 0x8000 » indicates a measuring error. This is often due to a loose cable.
b. Example
Example of frame received: (hex) 5801900300
‘Frame type’ = (hex)58 = 88 => ‘Temperature S1 between thresholds and temperature S2 > upper threshold’
‘Digital temperature - sensor 1’ = (hex)0190 = 400 => ‘Actual temperature’ = 400*0.0625 = 25°C
‘Digital temperature - sensor 2’ = (hex)0300 = 768 => ‘Actual temperature’ = 768*0.0625 = 48°C
Example of frame received: (hex) 55FDD00348
‘Frame type’ = (hex)55 = 85 => ‘Temperature S1 < lower threshold and temperature S2 > upper threshold’
‘Digital temperature 1w - sensor 1’ = (hex)FDD0 = -560 => ‘Actual temperature’ = -560*0.0625 = -35°C
‘Digital temperature 2w - sensor 2’ = (hex)0348 = 840 => ‘Actual temperature’ = 840*0.0625 = 52.5°C

19
ATIM_ACW-TM2D-HP_UG_EN_V1.2
c. Startup sequence
At startup, the TM2D-HP transmits 5 frames spaced one minute apart, with a test counter 0x0501, 0x0502, up to
0x0505.
6th frame transmitted is a keep alive frame.
The 7th frame is an application frame containing a temperature and the header 0x1A. This contains the temperature,
but no information on its relative position toward thresholds.
Then the application frames will have the headers 0x53 à 0x5B.
