1.2 Wiring
Preparation
Take the 4 spacer fixing tabs provided with the device, and place them into the PCB holes as
shown in the picture.
Prepare a screwdriver, the 2 terminal blocks
provided with the device, and the stripped
wire pair necessary for connection, with
appropriate distinctive colors (power
connector –e.g. black-red, input-output wire
pairs –e.g. black-blue, alarm input –e.g.
black-white).
Connecting the inputs
The device has 2 input lines (IN1, IN2),
where sensors can be connected by connecting its wire pairs, in accordance with the standard
connection method shown below, by fixing the cable wire pairs for each input.
In case of voltage inputs make attention to the order of polarity (+/-), the assembly must be
done according to the inputs line titles (on PCB board). Take care for the proper position of the
input line jumpers.
The device is able to detect wire cut on its input lines.
The inputs may also be used for anti-sabotage purposes –e.g detecting/monitoring the
opening of the alarm system cover (magnetic switch).

7
In voltage input operation mode, the input lines can be activated with 5-24V DC voltage, in
opposite way these are inactive.
The proper operation mode can be configured as well with the EasyTerm application.
These can be configured seperately to operate as a voltage or contact mode for the input.
These settings can be setup with the jumpers besides the terminal blocks of the input lines –
according to the input line nr. titles.
Choosable input line operation modes (with the jumpers):
Contact mode
oThe input line jumper pairs - approach from the connector side
oThe ground point of the input lines (-) are common
oThe wiring of input lines has independent polarity
Voltage mode
oThe input line jumper pairs –approach from the LED’s side
oGalvanically divided and independent input lines
oMake attention to the polarity when wiring!

Signal levels:
Input high signal level: 5-24V
Input low signal level: 0-1V
Current in active status (for the Easy 2 inputs): 0.3-3mA
Current in active status (for the further Easy 2 IO inputs): 1-12mA
In case of using the Easy 2 IO -expander board, further 6 pcs of inputs are available (IN3..IN8),
which has the same operation and configuration possibility as listed here above.
When the input were activated (IN1, IN2) the IN1, IN2 titled LEDs are signing the active
(closed) status during the operation, with the proper light and colour. See LED signals part.
The device has 2 input lines (IN1, IN2). They can be configured seperately to operate as a
voltage or contact mode for the input. These settings can be setup with the jumpers besides
the IN1, IN2 input line’s terminal blocks.
Connecting the relay output
One switchable output device can be connected to the relay output (OUT) of the mainboard),
according to the next figure. Connect the cable wire pair to the OUT title output line’s terminal
block (by sliding the companion piece and inserting the stripped wire pair, then fixing the
screws).

Through the relay output a 2A - 120VAC or
2A - 24VDC voltage can be switched. When
activating the output, the OUT LED –
beside the output - indicates the active
(closed) position with the appropriate
color/light - during the operation.
ATTENTION
Always switch off power supply before the
wiring!
Check that the metal parts of the connected wires are not touch to each other!
Connecting the alarm line ( ALARM line)
The alarm system can be connected to
the ALR input through a wire pair, thus it
will be able to forward its alarm signals –
in Contact ID format –to the remote
dispatcher centre.
Connect the cable wire pair to the ALR
title Alarm line’s terminal block (by sliding
the companion piece and inserting the
stripped wire pair, then fixing the screws).
When activating the output, the ALR LED
–beside the output - indicates the active (closed) position with the appropriate color/light -
during the operation.
Inserting the M2M Easy 2 IO board (optional)
The M2M Easy 2 Security Communicator® firmware can handle the operation of the IO-
expander board (extra 6 pcs of inputs, 3pcs of outputs), whereas further parameters are
available in the device software and in the EasyTerm configuration tool.

10
Connecting the power supply
The 8-24V power-supply voltage (typically 12V
power adapter, or 24V power supply) can be
connected to the PWR input through a wire
pair. When connecting the power, the device
will be immediately started to operating, when
the PWR LED will indicate it with the
appropriate color/light.
Attention! Do not forget to insert the
SIM-card previously –see Chapter nr. 2.

GPRS network
Possible reasons:
owrong APN settings
othe GPRS service is inactive for the SIM card
olow signal strength
othe RADIUS server is out of operation
omaintenance/service tasks by the M.O.

13
6 blinkings –the device is registered to the GPRS network, it has an IP address, but
cannot login to the server
Possible reason: the primary and the secondary server is not available/accessable
Visible sympthoms:
the opening of the TCP/UDP port was not succesful (e.g. wrong server
settings applied),
unsuccesful data sending
timeout when tries to receive data or wrong answer
The signal will be active, until the device will be succesfully signalling to a server.
IN1, IN2: Input #1, #2 is active - green
When the input is active (if the 2 pair wire closed; or in case of voltage the power voltage is 5-
24VDC) then the INx LED will light according to the related input.
OUT: Output is active –yellow
The output active indicator OUT LED shows the status of the primer-side of the relay. When
the output is active (the relay pair of wires are closed), then the output OUT LED will light.
MDM RDY: Modem stand-by –red
During the inicialization the MDM LED blinks quickly (approx. twice per seconds). When the
modem is already accessible and operating and has an active communication on the GSM
network, then it will blinking with less frequency.
Main important lights:
not lights: the module was turned off
longer periodic blinking: 600 msec filling in / 600 msec filling out: the module not
registered to the network (possible causes: no SIM card, PIN authorization failure,
network search is in progress, login is in progress, etc.)

14
periodic short blinking: 75 msec filling in / 3 sec filling out: normal operation,
connected to the GSM network
continuously lights: voice call active (e.g. during GSM signal transmitting)
ALR: Alarm center active - green
When the device connected to the alarm center it shows the status of the the alarm line (Tip-
Ring). Lights: speaker pulled on, not lights: speaker put down or alarm center not presented.
PWR: Power voltage active - green
Signs when the Easy 2 is under power and voltage and operating. When it has no light, the
Easy2 is powered off and has no active power source.

Chapter 2. Installation of the device
For the Easy 2 installation follow the next steps.
When the device was already installed, jump to the Installation part and check the current
firmware version of the device (SWVER value in the EasyTerm application). When the version is
not V2.1 R08 or newer (e.g. R08) then IMMEDIATELY change it for the firmware!
2.1 Installation on location site
1. It is a logical step to place and install the device to a protected position - as usual
placed into a safety coverage or into the enclosed alarm system box. When cover
will not be applied, then it shall be located to a protected zone.
2. Take care that the communicator is not under power voltage, it is turned off and
the LEDs lights are not lighting or flashing before continue the following steps!
3. Mount the GPRS antenna (piece of the package) as it can be seen in the picture to
the copper SMA connector, until it sleeves. (In case of wired antenna find a place
to the magnetic antenna and connect it to the connector.)
4. The SIM card must be
inserted or removed
only in turned off
status of the Easy 2
device!
For inserting the SIM-card
slide the card (provided by
the Mobile Operator) into
the metal SIM card bay at
the direction when the
chip on the card looks
down, and the MO logo
looks upside, and the
card’s cutted corner looks
to the PCB board (as it is shown in the picture). Push the card until it seize - while
the a click noise will be heard (then it will be fixed).
(If it s needed You can remove the card with pushing it again –only if the device
was turned off!)
5. Wire the cables pairs to the input terminal blocks (which will be required to
monitoring) Use the IN1, IN2titled input lines. For the output, wire the cable pair
to the OUT titled connector terminal block.

17
For the sabotage protection feature it is suitable to monitoring the cover opening of
the safety devices (as alarm system or alarm center) with connecting the magnetic
switch of itt o the input line of the Easy2. You can connect a siren to the output of
the device.
6. If you would like to use the device as an alarm center signal transmitter (as
operates by default), then connect the alarm center to the alarm input line (ALR
titled).
7. You can setup the input lines with its jumper pairs behind the input lines (IN1,
IN2)The jumpers are used for interpreting the proper operation mode of the input
line - contact or voltage.
8. Connect the 12V/24V DC power - with the power chord of the alarm center (or by
a power adapter (12V 800mA) to the power plug’s terminal block (PWR titled).
Then the device will be under voltage, turned on and operating and its LEDs are
flashing according the proper operation –as listed in chapter 2.2.
If the device needs to be powered off:
When the power line will be removed or the power supply will be disconnected, the
device will be turned off.
2.2 Turning on the device
After starting the Easy 2, it is required ca. 40-60 seconds from the startup to the complete
operation (succesful GSM/GPRS communication, etc.), which will be signed by the status LEDs
according to the following sequence step-by-step.
When the power voltage added, the devices turns on. The green PWR LED continuously
lights.
If the input(s) are wired then the IN1, IN2 LEDs are continuously lights with green.
Then later the MDM RDY LED blinks a several times with red, that the GSM modem is
started.
Soon the STA LED will be lightning intermittently a few times (3-times in a second with
some breaking between the light-sequences). Then the Easy2 loads and initializes the
system firmware.
Then the GSM LED (red) blinks a few times intermittently, which means that the GSM
modem network registration has started.
The yellow light of the STA LED signs that the network registration was succesful.
Then the device is operating related to the configuration parameter settings and it sends
data through and life signals through the network periodically.
For the further LED status signals see the LED signals table.

18
When you will notice a different operation of the device, check the Problem
troubleshooting part of the Chapter nr. 9!
When your device was already installed, check the current firmware version of the
device (SWVER value in the EasyTerm application). When the version is not V2.1 R08
or newer (e.g. R08) then IMMEDIATELY change it for the firmware!

19
