1 Description
1.1 Technical Specifications
Power supply
12V –2A DC input provided by external PSU (supplied).
Battery Backup –supply power to the unit in the event of mains power loss to maintain
the real-time-clock.
DC input requirements: 0.5A average current with short current transients of 2A (GPRS
Modem); unit will stop operating below 9VDC.
Radio Compatibility
Compatible with AMR transmitters.
Single-frequency Reception:
UHF (433.92 MHz or 868.950 MHz).
VHF (169.40625 MHz or 153.100 MHz).
Real Time Clock
On board real-time-clock synchronized every time communication with the remote
server occurs.
Data Recording
Records data on MicroSD card (supports SD & SDHC).
GPRS/SMS
Uses Quad-band GSM engine.
Configurable filters used to reduce amount of GPRS traffic.
GPRS connections established only at transfer time.
Uses HWM proprietary protocol to transfer data to Toran software.
Ethernet
Uses HTTP/HTTPS to transfer data.
DHCP Enabled to get dynamic IP from LAN –Static IP configurable.
Time automatically synchronised from HWM time server.
Configuration
Via Local USB Connection & IDT Software.

Installation
Wall mounting
Front panel LEDs to assist in operation diagnostic
Housing
Dimensions –225 mm x 203 x 47 mm.
Weight: 500 grams without antennas.
IP rating: Standard Housing IP20 (IP66 available with optional enclosure).
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.

Please Refer to Product configuration paragraph for the
procedure to change the concentrator‘s configuration.
1.5 Monitoring Unit Status
The concentrator will send at a specified rate a summary report to the server.
This report contains information on the unit status such as:
Mains Power status (GPRS Only)
GSM signal strength (GPRS Only)
Filter Settings
Concentrator ID
Firmware Revision
Statistics on data transfer
This report can also be sent via email.
GPRS versions only:
Please note that in this mode the unit will not record transmitted data packets,
this is done to minimize power consumption and ensure the unit will function on
battery for 24 hours.
Please Refer to Product configuration paragraph for the
procedure to change the concentrator‘s configuration.

1.6 Unit Configuration
The unit operation can be configured via local USB connection using IDT
Software to upgrade, configure and download.
Please Refer to Product configuration paragraph for the
procedure to change the concentrator configuration.

2 Commissioning
This paragraph describes the required steps to ensure the product is fully
functional following reception. Ensure one step is covered before going to the
next.
2.1 Step 1: Inspecting Package Content
RT-Wi5 Data Concentrator
Mains Power Supply Unit –12V DC output
Configuration Cable (USB A/B) –optional Antennas (VHF/UHF BNC –GSM SMA)

2.2 Step 2: SIM Card installation (GPRS Version)
If not already equipped by HWM the SIM card can be installed using the
following procedure:
Remove the front cover.
Install the SIM card into the SIM card connector as shown below:
Locking/Unlocking the connector Remove/insert the SIM Card
Please Refer to Product configuration paragraph for the
procedure to change the concentrator‘s configuration.

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.
