1 Description
The MesCom is a basic low cost remote telemetry unit with 4 universal inputs and 2 open
collector outputs.
Communication and configuration with the MesCom is via SMS messages from your mobile
phone avoiding the need for a service or monthly subscription.
MesCom2 devices have additional functionality to allow reporting to a server and
configuration from the Dycon MesCom configuration manager website.
Inputs accept 0-3V signals with an internal pull up/down resistor and can be configured as
analogue or digital signals.
A variety of sensor types can be connected to the MesCom: Volt-free contact, 4-20mA,
transistor logic, 3v analogue, 30v analogue with the minimum of external components.
Outputs are open collector outputs to ground with back EMF protection for use with small
inductive loads (eg relays) with a maximum 100mA load.
Internal monitoring of temperature, battery voltage, supply voltage, and radio module state is
also performed. The board temperature sensor has an accuracy ±2°C and is measuring the
board temperature, not the ambient temperature.
All ports, with the exception of the antenna and battery, are 30v tolerant.
All input and output can be configured to suit the user’s application.

2.1 Antenna
The MesCom can be fitted with an antenna with an SMA connector suitable for GSM/GPRS
use covering the frequencies in use by your selected network. In Europe this is 900MHz and
1800MHz. It is recommended that a stub antenna connected directly to the MesCom be
avoided for all but the best signal strength areas.
2.2 Power Supply
The MesCom MUST be supplied with DC between 6V and 30V and will require a maximum
current of 500mA (3W). It typically will use less than 50mA.
