1.2 Radio Receiver
The Wi5D concentrator can work on only one receiving frequency as the radio
receiver fitted on the PCB is different for each frequency. The part number of
the product identifies which frequency is to be used.
The product is compatible with AMR transmitters.
As radio packets are coming in, these are time-stamped using the on-board real
time clock. The clock is synchronized periodically using a UTC Time Server to
guarantee accuracy. All time stamps will be UTC/GMT.
1.3 Data Recording
The Wi5D concentrator uses an on board microSD card to record the data
before transmission. It will keep historical data which can be retrieved at any
time using SD card reader and standard text editor by pressing the push-button
on the concentrator PCB for 2 seconds. The microSD card can then be
removed from the connector.
The microSD card is required for product operation ensure you
insert it and lock it back in the connector after data upload.
1.4 Data Transfer
Data is transferred at a periodical interval via GPRS UDP or HTTP/HTTPS for
Ethernet versions. If the data transfer is not successful (intermittent GPRS
connection, LAN disconnection); the data will be stored and transferred on the
next occasion. In the event that the Wi5D concentrator is offline for an extended
period it will send stored data starting from the oldest record.
Filters can be used to reduce the amount of data sent to the server.
Only allow particular transmitter IDs or packet types.
Reject particular transmitters IDs or packet types.
Reject a packet from a transmitter if it has already transmitted within the
last x seconds.
Only allow one packet per transmitter per transfer.

2.3 Step 3: Connecting the product
In order to avoid GPRS transmission during shipping the backup battery
is disconnected. Connect the battery connector as shown below (not
required for Ethernet versions):
Only use the battery supplied with the unit. Failure to do so could
result in product damage.
Connect the Ethernet cable (if applicable).
Reinstall the top cover.

9
Connect the external GSM (if applicable) and Radio antennas to the
connectors as shown below.
If using a heavy RF cable for GSM or Radio connection use a strain
relief on the cable to avoid stressing the connector with excessive stress,
this will increase the risk of the case cracking.
Connect the external Power Supply Unit DC connector into the location
shown below:
Connect the external Power Supply Unit to the wall
mains socket.
Only use the Power Supply Unit supplied with the unit. Failure to do
so could result in injury and product damage.
There is no power switch on the unit, to power off the unit it is
required to disconnect both the Power Supply Unit and the battery.
Ensure the Power Supply Unit is accessible on site.

2.4 Step 4: Interpreting Front Panel LEDs
LEDs are used to indicate the current status of the unit and indicate potential
faults:
-Mains Power (Red LED)
oPresent: double flash every 2 seconds.
oNo Mains power: one flash every 5 seconds.
-GSM/GPRS (Green LED)
oGSM ON: double flash every 2 seconds.
oGPRS transfer in progress: ON Steady.
-Ethernet/USB (Green LED) :
oData Transfer (In/Out): LED Flashes.
-RF Data Received (Orange LED):
oData Coming In : LED flashes.
-Status (Red LED):
oNo Fault: OFF
oSIM card not recognized / no registration on the GSM network /
poor GSM signal (less than 2 bars): single flash every 2 seconds
oSD Card not recognized: double flash every 2 seconds
oTime Synchronization failed : three flash every 2 seconds
Note:
For the first 2 minutes following power-up the status LED
will flash while the unit is initializing, wait for at least 2
minutes before interpreting the status LED.
If a combination of faults exists the status LED flashing will
alternate between error codes, for example:
oSingle Flash indicates GSM issue
o2 seconds wait
oTriple Flash indicates the time synchronization did
not take place
o2 seconds wait
oSingle Flash…
In order to confirm that the unit is fully operational ensure that the status of the
LEDs is as follow:
-Mains Power (Red LED) is double flashing every 2 seconds.
-GSM/GPRS (Green LED) is either double flashing or constant ON.
-Ethernet/USB Status (Green LED) is OFF.

11
-RF Data Received –(Orange LED) is flashing when a test
transmitter is activated.
-Status (Red LED) is OFF ; this should turn itself off ~2 minutes after
powering on the unit.
If the status of the LEDs do not match with the above, please
refer to the Troubleshooting section.
