2.2 Installing the device
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
As a power or contact input, one sensor can be connected to each input by wire pairs –
maximum 2 pieces (IN1, IN2) in accordance with the standard connection method shown
below, by fixing the cable wire pairs for each input.
At the connection points set apart for reception
of the cables, connect the cables with the
power/input terminal block, by means of the
sliding companion piece, by inserting the
stripped wire pair, then driving in the fixing
screws. In case of power inputs, attention
should be paid to the order of polarity (+/-): the
assembly should be made according to the
signs in front of the line inputs.
These inputs may also be used for anti-

10
sabotage purposes. This way, it can be used for monitoring the unauthorized opening of the
alarm center cover for safety and security reasons (when the magnetic contactor connected
to the input line).
During the installation process, do not forget to set up the input mode jumper (JP1, JP2).
ATTENTION
Always turn off the device, and switch off power supply before performing assembly. Make
sure that the metal parts of the cables connected to the contact inputs do not touch.
In the example, the first input (IN1) is connected, and it handles the jumper position as contact
input according to the setup.
On activation of the inputs (IN1, IN2) after switching on the power supply, the LEDs located
above the inputs indicate the active (closed) position with the appropriate color/light. See LED
signals chapter.
Connecting the outputs
1 piece of relay/switch can be connected to each output on the panel (OUT), connected with
the help of the cable wire pair according to the standard connection shown below.
At the connection points set apart for reception of the cables, connect the cables with the
output/Alarm terminal block, by means of the sliding companion piece, by inserting the
stripped wire pair, then driving in the fixing screws.
ATTENTION
Always turn off the device, and switch off
power supply before performing assembly.
Make sure that the metal parts of the cables
connected to the contact inputs do not touch.
In the example, the output (OUT) is
connected with a relay. On activation of the
output after switching on the power supply,
the LED located above the output indicates
the active (closed) position with the
appropriate color/light.

11
Connecting the alarm line (Alarm center)
The alarm center can be connected to the ALR input via 1 wire pair, thus it will be able to
forward its alarm signals to the Easy 2. It is connected with the cable wire pair according to the
standard connection shown below.
At the connection points set apart for
reception of the cables, connect the
cables with the output/Alarm terminal
block, by means of the sliding companion
piece, by inserting the stripped wire pair,
then driving in the fixing screws.
Subsequent to this, if the connection
shown below is ensured, the alarm device
can transfer its signals converted into
Contact ID format towards the Easy 2
device.
On activation of the alarm center (ALR), after switching on the power supply, the LED located
above the alarm center input line indicates the active (closed) position with the appropriate
color/light.
Connecting the power supply
The 8-32 V power-supply voltage (typically 12 V adapter, or 24 V industrial power supply) can
be connected to the PWR input via one wire pair. This way, the device can be powered.
It is connected with the cable wire pair according
to the standard connection shown below.
On connecting the power supply (PWR), the
device immediately starts operating, and then the

12
LED located above the power supply line indicates the active (closed) position with the
appropriate color/light.

GSM: GSM/GPRS status LED - red
The numbers of the GSM LED blinking signs the signal strength (more blinkings means better
signal).
Spends cca. 10 seconds between the signals. One flash of the blinking takes 50 msec, then a
450 msec break comes.
The RSSI value answered by the GSM module to the AT+CSQ command. The RSSI gives a
response between -113 dBm and -51 dBm values. The conclusion at the numbers of the LED
blinkings can be found in this table:

This state can be change only when the transmission was succesful, then the LED continously
lights until the beginning of the next transmission. Under the inicialization the simultaneous
blinkings of the STA and GSM LEDs signs the fault of the SIM card.
IN1, IN2: Input #1, input #2 active indication - green
When the input is active (if the 2 pair wire closed; or in case of voltage the power voltage is 2-
32VDC) then the LED lights which belongs the input number.
OUT: Output active indication –yellow
The output active indicator LED show the status of the primer-side of the relay. When the
output is active (the relay pair of wires are closed), then the output LED lights.
MDM RDY: Modem stand-by –red
During the inicialization the LED blinks quickly (approx. twice per seconds). When the modem
is already accessible and operates with active communication on the GSM network, then it
blinks with more less frequency.

The LED controlled directly by the GSM module. The exact LED flash-signals can be found int
he Cinterion®„BG2-E AT Command Set” document with the following figure.
The following requirements must be considered:
not lights: the module has turned off
periodic blinkings 600 msec filling in / 600 msec filling out: the module not registrated
to the network (possible causes: no SIM card, PIN authorization error, network search
in progress, login in progress, etc.)
periodic blinkings 75 msec filling in / 3 sec filling out: normal opreation, connected to
the GSM network
continuous 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 PCB is under power supply and voltage. When it lights, the Easy2 is under
voltage the processor operates.

Chapter 3. Installation of the device
For the Easy 2 installation follow the next steps.
3.1 Installation steps
1. The device needs protection against unathorized access and wheather conditions.
As usual in the security and safety area, that used to place into the security alarm
system case or fixed closed to the alarm system to a protected area. There should
be used the sabotage protection which is available through a plastic case for the
communicator which can be ordered. Furthermore, the open events of the security
alarm system case can be monitored as sabotage events (listening the status
changes of the magnetic contactor switch through the input line).
2. Take care that the communicator is not under power voltage and it is turned off
and the LEDs lights are not lighting or flashing.
3. Mount the GPRS antenna (piece of the package) as it can be seen in the picture to
the copper SMA antenna connector safely. (In case of wired antenna find a place to
the magnetic sole antenna.)
4. For inserting the SIM-card slide the card (provide 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 toward the antenna and
the SIM holder (as it is shown in the picture). Push the card until it is fixed.
(If it s needed You can remove the card with pushing it again –You have to do it
only when the device is turned off!)

19
5. Let’s wiring the cables of the monitored input to the required terminal blocks (wire
pair) of it (IN1, IN2 title for the input lines) and the output to the OUT titled wire
pair. The alarm center has to be wired to the alarm input line (ALR titled).
You can setup the meaning of the input line with the jumpers behind the input lines
(JP1, JP2). They can be closed to interpret the input signals as contact or voltage.
6. Connect the 12V/24V DC power supply with the power adapter and let’s wire the
power chord wire pair to the power plug’s terminal block (PWR titled), and take the
device under voltage. (It will be turned on with the power voltage.) When the
power line will be removed or the power supply will be disconnected, the device will
be turned off.
7. Wire a notebook or computer for the installation or configuration of the
communicator with a serial port cable to the communicator RJ11 input (PROG
title). In case of using USB port at the computer, You have to use a serial
portUSB converter.

20
3.2 Turning on the device
When starting the device the next steps are executed:
oWhen the power voltage given the devices turns on. The green PWR LED flashing
for a short time, and for a moment the MDM RDY LED also flashes, which signs
that the GSM modem was started. If the input lines or the output line were wired
before, then the their LEDs will also lightning.
Starting the communicator (PWR LED lights)
oSoon the STA signed LED will be lightning. The Easy2 initializes the system
firmware into the memory (if the bootloader was uploaded). The bootloader
assures the minimal software environment for the firmware refresh.
oThe bootloader loads the system firmware from the internal memory. If the
system software was uploaded before, it will be started.
oThen the MDM RDY signed LED will be continuously flashing with a red light, 1-2
times per seconds, which signs that the GSM modem started to initialize.
oThere will be coming a few second break and in case of the normal operation the
MDM RDY signed LED flashes once which means that the GSM modem network
registration was succesfully started.
oIf it was registered and finished successful the GSM signed LED (red) starts to
operate (see the LED table and figure at the page 14), the STA signed LED
(yellow) will be flashing when the first life signals was received.
oWhen these life signals were succesfully transmitted the STA LED will be
continuously lightning with yellow.
oAt this time the device already operates according the configured (or default)
parameters and periodically sends data through the GSM network.
