Important information
This technical description contains important information for start up and use of the HT63 E
Terminal. Read it carefully before you start working with the HT63 E Terminal.
The warranty will be void should damage occur due to non-compliance with these instructions
for use. We cannot accept any responsibility for consequential loss.
We cannot be held responsible for material loss or personal injury that is due to incompetent
use or non-compliance with the safety instructions. The warranty will be void in such
circumstances.
The HT63 E Terminal contains highly integrated components which can be damaged by
electrostatic discharge if the user would open the housing.
CEP preserves the right to change the included information without notice and doesn’t take
responsibility for errors in the document and/or missing information.
Therefore only touch the HT63 E Terminal on the housing or connectors and
avoid touching the components on the board.
Safety Instructions
When using products which are exposed to electric voltage the valid regulations
have to be observed.
Before opening of a device always pull the mains adapter or make sure that the device is
disconnected from the power supply.
You should only use tools on components, modules or devices if they are disconnected from
the power supply and the electric charge, which may still be stored in some components, inside
the device has been discharged.
All cables and wires which are energized and connected to the device, the module or
components have to be checked regularly for any damage of the isolation shield or fractures of
the cables. If the supply cables are visibly damaged the device has to be taken out of operation
immediately until the faulty cable has been exchanged.
When using components or modules it is necessary to strictly observe the specification given in
the corresponding description of these components. If a description for a private end-customer
not clearly states which electric data is valid for a component or a module, how to wire the

3
device, which external components or additional devices can be connected or which
parameters these components are allowed to have, a specialist must be contacted.
Before putting a device into operation, it has to be clarified, whether this device or module is
meant for the field of application. In case of doubt ask specialists or the manufacturer of the
device.
Please note that we are not responsible for any errors in usage or connection. Therefore we
cannot accept any responsibility for consequential loss.
Devices which operate with >35 Volt have to be connected by a specialist. Before putting the
device into operation it should be checked that there is no current leakage on the housing.
In case those measurements with the opened housing are necessary, an isolating-transformer
has to be integrated for safety reasons. Alternatively the voltage can be supplied by an
appropriate power supply which complies with the safety regulations. All wiring work has to be
done in a voltage free state only.

2 Electrical Description
The modem uses the following standard connectors:
RJ11 6-way (power connector)
Mini USB (USB 2.0)
SIM card reader
FME male coaxial jack (antenna connector)
Sub-D female socket, 9 pin (RS232 serial port)
2.1 Power Connector
An RJ11 6-way connector, as shown and described below, serves as a means of supplying and
controlling DC power to the modem. It is necessary to connect an external power supply, since
the available power on the USB port is not sufficient to run the modem.
The supply voltage, VCC, required by the modem is 5V - 32V DC. Application of the supply
voltage does not switch the modem on. To do so an additional active-high control signal,
TO_IN, must be applied for > 1 second.
Please see chapter “3.1 Switching ON the modem” for further important details about TO_IN
and power supply requirements, especially if TO_IN is applied in parallel to VCC.
VCC and GND are reverse-polarity and over-voltage protected.
This does not apply for the GND on the antenna connector if this coax GND /
shield are connected to your applications ground-plane.

2.2 Antenna Connector
The antenna connector allows transmission of radio frequency (RF) signals between the
modem and an external customer-supplied antenna. The modem is fitted with a 50Ω, FME
male coaxial jack.
Output Power:
2 Watt Peak (Class 4) GSM 900/850 MHz
1 Watt Peak (Class 1) GSM 1800/1900 MHz
The antenna that the customer chooses to use should fulfil the following requirements:
