Product description3
3.1 System description
KLAROconnect is used for communication between the wastewater treatment plant and the KLARO
WebMonitor. KLARO WebMonitor offers the possibility of remote monitoring, remote maintenance
and remote control of the wastewater treatment plant from a distance using a smartphone or computer
via the internet. You can find more information about this at https://klaro-webmonitor.de/ . Via KLARO-
connect, all operation-relevant data such as settings, events and operating hour meter readings of the
KLAROcontrol.S and KLAROcontrol. M are transmitted to the KLARO WebMonitor.
KLAROconnect combines a 4G module and a LAN adapter. The enclosed antenna covers the fre-
quency ranges 790 - 960 MHz, 1710 - 2170 MHz, 2570 - 2620 MHz. You will find more detailed infor-
mation in the appendix to these operating instructions.
KLAROconnect is specifically optimised for M2M and IoT applications, delivering maximum data rates
of up to 10 Mbps downlink and 5 Mbps uplink. KLAROconnect (SIM) is backward compatible with ex-
isting EDGE and GSM/GPRS networks, ensuring that it can connect in remote areas without 4G or 3G
coverage.
The power connection is made directly to the control unit via the data cable included in the scope of
delivery (art. no.: 982223). In the event of a power failure, KLAROconnect no longer works. Data
transmission between KLAROconnect and the control is also carried out via the data cable.
The status of KLAROconnect is displayed via control LEDs.
A Velcro strap is supplied as standard for attachment.

3.3 Mounting KLAROconnect
3.3.1 Velcro fastening
The Velcro tape included with the KLAROconnect is used
to mount the communication module.
Note: The glued areas must be made dust-free before
applying the Velcro tape.
3.3.2 Mounting adapter (available from WAGO)
The KLAROconnect can be mounted on a DIN 35 rail using two mounting feet (WAGO 209-123). To
do this, the mounting feet are mounted with the screws on the underside in the holes provided.

Commissioning4
In the LAN adapter operating mode, the chapters 4.1 and 4.2 can be skipped.
4.1 Antenna
The antenna must be connected to the antenna socket of the KLAROconnect by means of a screw
connection. The antenna must be positioned in such a way that reliable reception is possible. You can
check the reception quality on site by trying out the SIM card in a mobile phone or smartphone before-
hand.
4.2 Mini SIM card
For operation as a 4G module (modem), a valid mini SIM card must be present in the KLAROconnect:
•Mini SIM card format
•Recommended data volume per month >500MB
•The SIM card must be able to transmit M2M
•Deactivate the PIN (to do this, -insert the SIM card -into a mobile phone and deactivate the
PIN request under the menu item "Security").
When the KLAROconnect is switched off (the LEDs are off), insert the SIM card into the device (see
also chapter 5.3.1).
4.3 Switch on KLAROconnect
After the card has been inserted, KLAROconnect can be connected to the power supply (switch on
KLAROcontrol).
The connection with KLAROcontrol is fully automatic. A WEB symbol appears in the KLAROcontrol
display . KLAROconnect needs up to 8 minutes to start up completely.
After successful authentication, LED6 flashes with interval 100ms on, 100ms off, 100ms on, 700ms
off. If a SIM card is used, LED5 flashes with an interval of 1800ms on, 200ms off. The KLAROconnect
is now ready for communication.
If there is no signal changeover, this can have several causes:
Operating mode LAN connection
1. No internet
2. Firewall upstream
3. Missing or incorrect configuration of the KLAROconnect
4. Faulty contacting of the plug connections
Operating mode SIM connection
1. SIM card is not released
2. No mobile phone reception
3. Missing or incorrect configuration of the KLAROconnect
4. Faulty contacting of the plug connections
4.4 Control configuration
No settings need to be made in the control unit.
4.5 Create attachment in WebMonitor
After a successful connection has been established, the system can be created in the WebMonitor.
