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.

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.

Space requirements and mounting
Dimensions indicated in mm.
‘Circuit-breaker’-style ACW DIN modems are mounted on a DIN rail.
Installation
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 is 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. Connecting the modem
Terminal blocks:
Antenna (SMA):
Before powering the product, a 50 Ω/ 868MHz antenna must be connected, either directly
to the SMA connector or via a 50 Ωcable in case of antenna offset.
Power supply (bottom terminal block):
The ACW-RS module must be powered with a DC power supply between 10V and 30V that
can supply a minimum current of 100mA.
RS232/RS485 (top terminal block):
The maximum cable length will depend on the type of serial link and the baud rate used. A maximum length
of 1 meter is suitable for all use cases.
For an RS232 connection it will also be necessary to switch the slide switch to the lower position (USB side).
For an RS485 connection, you have the option to activate the 120 Ωtermination resistor:
•up (SMA side): resistor activated
•down (USB side): resistor deactivated
The USB connector is used to configure the ACW via a PC and a USB cable. See the 'Modem Configuration'
section for more details.
➔The configuration must be done with the device powered by 10 / 30Vdc
c. LEDs meaning
When the power is turned on or after removing the USB cable, the red LED (bottom LED) stays on for 3
seconds, indicating the start cycle. Then, the green LED (top LED) illuminates for a moment indicating a good
start of the ACW.

In USB configuration mode, the green LED flashes until the configuration is completed and the USB cable is
removed.
Overall, in normal operation, the green LED illumination confirms an RS232 / 485 or radio communication.
The red LED lights to indicate any errors that may occur.
d. Push button
The push button located on the front of the box makes it possible to emit a test frame in order to validate
the installation on site. The sending of test frames is only available in the operating modes described in the
following subsections.
Modbus Master Mode:
In Modbus master mode, pressing the push button triggers a Modbus frame as if the 'Statement period' was
reached.
Bridge and Slave Mode (SF8):
In Sigfox bridge mode configuration, this triggers a test frame of the following format:

Modem configuration
Download and install the configuration software '' setupACW.exe '' at:
http://www.atim.com/produit/atim-cloud-wireless-acw/
Connect the radio modem to your computer with a USB cable and then launch the software.
When you are logged in, the software window changes to allow you to access the main features.
Automatically, the current configuration of the connected module is retrieved and displayed.
The different configuration modes are described below.
Once the configuration is done, you just have to click on the Write key. After a few seconds of waiting, a
message appears next to it to inform you if the module update succeeded or failed.
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 supply, the module automatically returns to normal operation.
