1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Mobeye WaterGuard is a battery operated monitoring device with GSM module
used to send alarm notifications after detection of a water based fluid using the
water leak sensor, after a triggered input or - if an external power supply is used -
after a power failure.
In order to activate the device, a few steps are to be followed.
First of all you’ll have to choose a SIM card to place in the device. You can use the
Mobeye SIM card or your own SIM card. The Mobeye SIM card provides access to
the Mobeye Internet Portal. In this management environment the device is given
additional functions such as online programming, status and history display, more
options for forwarding messages and it will monitor test messages (keep alive). In
addition, the Mobeye SIM is a cost-effective M2M roaming SIM card that can use
multiple providers per country worldwide and offers more security than a provider-
bound SIM card.
When using your own SIM card the most important alarm functions such as calling
and/or texting after an alarm will also work.
Where the installation steps differ for both modes of use, this is indicated below. The
use of the Mobeye Internet Portal with Mobeye SIM card is also referred to as
Mobeye SIM/Portal.

2. STANDARD BEHAVIOUR
2.1 MOBEYE WATERGUARD WITH MOBEYE SIM AND INTERNET PORTAL
The Mobeye WaterGuard, equipped with a Mobeye SIM card and registered on the
Mobeye Internet Portal, has the following standard behaviour as factory settings:
- When the water leak sensor detects water, the Mobeye WaterGuard sends an
alarm message to the Mobeye Internet Portal and calls the phone numbers
programmed in by the user. The Portal forwards the alarm as text message
and/or e-mail to the ‘alarm contacts’.
- As soon as the water detection has ended, a message is sent to the Mobeye
Internet Portal. The Portal forwards the alarm as SMS message and/or e-mail.
- When one of the additional inputs is activated by a sensor, the Mobeye
WaterGuard sends an alarm message to the Mobeye Internet Portal and calls
the phone numbers programmed in by the user. The Portal forwards the alarm
as text message and/or e-mail to the ‘alarm contacts’.
- When one of the inputs remain in the alarm status, the Mobeye WaterGuard
repeats sending the alarm message via the Mobeye Internet Portal every four
hours.
- When an external power supply is used and a power failure occurs, the Mobeye
WaterGuard sends a ‘power failure’ message to Mobeye Internet Portal, to be
forwarded to the ‘alarm contacts’. When the power is restored, the Mobeye
WaterGuard sends a ‘power restored’ message.
- When the batteries need to be replaced, the Mobeye WaterGuard sends a ‘low
battery’ message to the Mobeye Internet Portal. The portal forwards this to the
‘service’ contacts.
- The unit will send test messages to the portal as communication check (default:
every 7 days). If these are not received in time, the portal sends an exception
message to the ‘service’ contacts.
Chapter 5 describes how to influence the standard behaviour.
As described, the Mobeye WaterGuard will, in addition to calling in the event of an
alarm, send various messages to the Mobeye Internet Portal. This is done via data

6
traffic where possible. As a fallback, the alarm messages are sent to the portal via
SMS. Both methods of communication are included in the flat fee of the SIM card.
Messages can be forwarded from the portal to contacts such as SMS and / or free e-
mail. If the SMS credits run out, the account holder automatically receives a
message to upgrade them online.
2.2 MOBEYE WATERGUARD WITH OWN SIM CARD
The Mobeye WaterGuard, equipped with your own SIM card, has the following
standard behavior as factory settings:
- When the water leak sensor detects water, the Mobeye WaterGuard sends an
alarm SMS text message and calls the phone numbers programmed in by the
user. The SMS message contains the text ‘Mobeye Water alarm’.
- As soon as the water detection has ended, an SMS text message is sent to the
set telephone numbers containing the text ‘Mobeye Water Level OK’.
- When one of the additional inputs is activated by a sensor, the WaterGuard
sends an alarm SMS text message and calls the phone numbers programmed in
by the user.
- When one of the inputs remain in the alarm status, the WaterGuard repeats
sending the SMS alarm message every four hours.
- When the batteries need to be replaced, the Mobeye WaterGuard sends a ‘low
battery’SMS text message to the first telephone number (administrator).
- When an external power supply is used and a power failure occurs, the Mobeye
WaterGuard sends a ‘power failure’ SMS text message to the first telephone
number. When the power is restored, the Mobeye WaterGuard sends a ‘power
restored’ SMS text message.
Chapter 5 describes how to influence the standard behaviour.

3. GETTING STARTED
To get started with the Mobeye WaterGuard, at least the following steps need to be
taken in the following order:
1. Insert the SIM card
2. Connect the water sensor
3. Insert the batteries
4. Connect an external power supply (optionally)
5. Connect a sensor to the additional inputs (optionally)
6. Programming when using the Mobeye SIM/Portal
a. Sign up in the Mobeye Internet Portal
b. Activate the SIM card
c. Enter the program mode
d. Activate the device in the Mobeye Internet Portal
e. Program the options and synchronise
7. Programming when using your own SIM card
a. Enter the program mode
b. Program the settings
Steps 1 to 5 are described in sections 3.1 up to 3.5.
Step 6 is described in chapter 4. Step 7 can be found in chapter 6.
3.1 INSERT THE SIM CARD
Open the enclosure by removing the 4 screws
and insert the SIM card into the module. Push
the black cover slightly outward to open the
holder and close it afterwards.
When using the Mobeye SIM card:
The supplied SIM card has a PIN code
protection, which means that it can only be
used in the Mobeye device.
Note: do not place it in another device.

8
When using your own SIM card:
Before installing the SIM card should have PIN code "0000", or PIN code removed.
(A PIN code can be changed or removed by putting the SIM card in to any mobile phone and
entering the 'security' menu.)
NB: Make sure the SIM card is inserted before the batteries. If you replace a SIM
card, first remove the batteries (and remove any other external power supply). The
settings are stored in the device memory. The SIM card shall have the “normal” size
and be suitable for 2G. It is advised to use an M2M SIM card.
3.2 INSERT THE BATTERIES
Insert the two batteries (CR123) in the module. Use the +/- indication for the correct
placement. If you replace the batteries the settings will not be deleted, since they are
stored in the device memory.
3.3 CONNECT THE WATER SENSOR
Plug the external water sensor into the socket and press it firmly.
Mount the sensor to a fixed place in vertical
position at the height where the presence of
water should be detected. If necessary, use a
metal strip for attaching the sensor.
In case the sensor should detect the absence
of water, the input type needs to be changed to
NC (please refer to paragraph 5.6).
3.4 CONNECT AN EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY (OPTIONALLY)
Although the Mobeye WaterGuard is designed to run on batteries, it is possible to
use an external power supply. In this mode the module is always connected with the
GSM network and therefore always in program mode. When the power fails, the
batteries take over and a power failure alarm message is sent. The module
continues operating albeit in the low power mode. This means the GSM module

9
switches off and only establishes network connection when it needs to send an
alarm notification, test message or low battery alert.
Connect the external power adapter (or any
other regulated 12VDC power supply) to the
power input of the connector (press on the
green pins to connect the wires):
- V+ (black lead with white stripe) to “+”
- Ground (black lead) to “-“
3.5 CONNECT A SENSOR TO THE INPUTS
(OPTIONALLY)
It is possible to connect external (NO/NC) sensors to the inputs. A triggered input will
lead to alarm notifications.
Insert the 2 wires of the external sensor through the hole in the enclosure and insert
them in the two connectors of input 1 (press on the green pins for connecting the
wires). It does not matter which wire is connected to which connector.
As default the inputs are programmed as
Normally Open (NO) contacts. This means the
inputs are triggered if the input is closed for at
least 1 second. In case the contact is Normally
Closed (NC), please refer to paragraph 5.4. If
you require the sensor to be activated for a
shorter or longer period before triggering an
alarm, refer to 5.4.
A second sensor can be connected to input 2.

4. PROGRAMMING WHEN USING THE MOBEYE SIM AND PORTAL
4.1 SIGN UP IN THE MOBEYE INTERNET PORTAL
Go to www.mymobeye.com
and sign up for a new account. Follow the
instructions on the screen.
You will receive an e-mail to confirm the new account. After confirmation login on the
portal.
If you do not receive this e-mail, please check your spam box or ask Mobeye
([email protected]).
4.2 REGISTER THE MOBEYE SIM CARD
To activate the Mobeye SIM card in the Mobeye
Internet Portal, choose ‘activate SIM card’ on the ‘Add
Device´ screen.
Fill in the SIM card number. This is the number written
on the plastic SIM card below the barcode. You can
take the entire number or only the last 8 digits.
The screen leads you through several pop-ups. If asked, choose the device type
(search for “CM2300”) and select the type of contract (“CM2300 SIM + Portal
Monitoring”).
At the moment you accept the price and terms, you confirm the subscription. You will
receive an invoice for the mentioned amount.
Before activating the device in the Mobeye Internet Portal, first prepare the unit. See
next paragraphs to learn how to do this.

4.3 ENTER THE PROGRAM MODE
To activate the unit in the portal, the GSM module needs to be open and connected
to the network.
In the situation that the WaterGuard is connected to an external power supply, the
unit is always in program mode.
A battery-operated Mobeye WaterGuard switches to the program mode after
pressing the on/off button for 5 seconds until the LED starts flashing. Alternatively
the batteries are re-inserted.
While searching for the GSM network connection the outside LED flashes green and
red, followed by blinking fast shortly. This process normally takes 10-30 seconds. As
soon as the network has been established and the program mode has been reached
the LED flashes 1 sec. on/1 sec. off (or stays on continuously in case the unit has
been configured yet).
During 3 minutes the GSM module remains active, ready to be activated in the
portal. In a battery-operated unit a time-out occurs after 3 minutes and the GSM
module switches off in order to save the batteries. In this low power mode the LED
flashes once per 3 seconds.
4.4 ACTIVATE THE DEVICE IN THE PORTAL
If the LED on the outside flashes once per second, you activate the device in the
Mobeye Internet Portal by clicking ‘Activate device’, which is written behind the
registered SIM card.
On the pop-up screen, enter the security code "1111" (factory code). The unit will
receive a message from the portal and the data exchange is started. The next
screen asks for a name and location for your device. These fields can be changed
later.
Once the activation is completed, the new device is visible on the dashboard.
By clicking the name, the detail page will be opened.

4.5 CONFIGURATION AND SYNCHRONISATION
The device settings can be programmed in the Mobeye Internet Portal. In this way
you prepare the settings, to be picked up by the device. Since the Mobeye device is
leading in the communication between the portal and the device, the data
synchronisation is done after:
1)any message to the portal (e.g. the regular test message, alarm, low batteries).
2)reconnecting power and reinserting batteries.
3)pressing the on/off button for 5 seconds.
4)in program mode: receiving the SMS command CODE SYNC (e.g. 1111 SYNC).
Once the device exchanges data with the portal, the LED quickly flashes green. A
battery-operated unit will first blink red-green until it connects to the network.
4.6 BASICS OF THE MOBEYE INTERNET PORTAL
Dashboard
With multiple devices, the dashboard shows all devices, with the (alarm) messages
in the last 24 hours, (missed) test messages and low battery status.
Select a device to go to the details of a specific device.
Status & History
The status block shows values that provide information about the status of the unit.
If the "Synchronized" status is set to "No", there are new settings or alarm numbers
that still need to be transferred to the device.
The GSM status shows the network strength at the last communication session. If
the value is lower than -95dB, consider another location for the device.
Click on the position icon to see the geographical location during the last report.
Note: this is an indication based on "cell-id".
The history displays all historical events. Click on "all events" to see the overview.

13
Device Settings
The device settings can be changed via the Mobeye Internet Portal. To do this, click
on the "edit" icon and type in the security code (factory setting is "1111"). See
chapter 5 for the description per setting.
After saving the new settings, they must be retrieved by the device (synchronized).
See 4.5 for more information about synchronizing.
The device data contain the name and location of the device and can be changed
here. These texts are mentioned in every text message and e-mail message to
indicate the device. A free text is available as an internal comment field. This is not
included in reports.
Alarm dispatch
In the block "Contacts for text and e-mail messages" you link the contact persons
who receive alarm and service messages via text message and / or e-mail. Service
messages can be warnings about missed test messages and low battery voltage.
To add a contact person, first create it as a contact. This can be done via the +or
in the main menu under the blue Contacts tab.
in the block “Alarm calls from device”the (max. 5) alarm numbers that are called
directly from the unit are set. After saving, the alarm numbers must be retrieved by
the device, i.e. synchronized. See 4.5 for more information about synchronizing.
Tips:
- Always insert a contact to receive service messages by e-mail.
- Allow text messages only after the test phase in order to save the SMS credits.
Message texts
The message texts are the event texts which are, in addition to the name and
location, included in the SMS text messages and e-mails. These texts can be
customized.

14
4.7 SWITCHING ON/OFF
After the previous steps the Mobeye WaterGuard is ready for use. It is armed
(switched on) automatically.
In order to switch off (disarm) the Mobeye WaterGuard:
- Press the on/ off button at the upper side for 1 second. The green LED switches
off to indicate the disarmed status.
In the disarmed status the Mobeye WaterGuard will not send alarm notifications.
The functions sending test messages and sending a ‘low battery’ message, are
still active.
In order to switch on (arm) the Mobeye WaterGuard:
- Press the on/ off button at the upper side for 1 second. The green LED blinks
once every 3 seconds (battery-powered) or stays ‘on’ continuously (in case of an
external power supply).
If powered externally (GSM is open), switching can be done via SMS commands:
SMS command to switch on: CODE ARM
SMS command to switch off: CODE DISARM
example: 1111 ARM
The status can be requested via SMS command CODE STATUS?.
4.8 CONFIRMATION OF THE ALARM MESSAGE
When the system is triggered it will send alarm notifications. First a message is sent
to the portal (and forwarded from there), followed by a phone call. When you pick up
the phone, you will hear beeps. It is possible to acknowledge the phone call by
answering the phone and pressing any key. The other alarm numbers will not be
called afterwards. This works for most telephones.

15
4.9 SYSTEM RESET
To reset a Mobeye WaterGuard two steps are necessary, in following sequence:
1. Delete the Mobeye WaterGuard from the Mobeye Internet Portal
2. Reset the Mobeye WaterGuard
1. To delete the Mobeye WaterGuard from the Mobeye Internet Portal
Go to "Device Settings" and click on the delete icon in the "Device" block. Then
confirm your choice.
2. To reset the Mobeye WaterGuard to its factory settings
1. Remove the batteries (and external power supply).
2. Press the outside button while reinserting the batteries. Keep it pressed for
(about) another 5 seconds.
3. Release the button immediately after the LED starts to flash.
4. If relevant, connect the external power supply.
After a successful reset, the status LED will blink green to indicate that the module is
not configured. The security code is back to factory settings as well.
The SIM card is now disconnected and is visible on the "Add device" screen. The
SIM card can be used again in another (or the same) Mobeye device in combination
with the portal.

16
5. POSSIBLE SETTINGS
The Mobeye WaterGuard has many setting options that influence the behaviour of
the module. If connected on the Mobeye Internet Portal, the settings are prepared in
the portal (see chapter 4). If your own SIM card is used, programming is done via
SMS commands (see chapter 7).
5.1 ALARM PHONE NUMBERS
In the event of an alarm, the Mobeye WaterGuard can call 5 telephone numbers
(TEL1… TEL5). It is possible to confirm a call by picking up the telephone and
pressing any key. The following numbers will not be called.
When using your own SIM card, it is mandatory to set at least one number (on
TEL1). The TEL1 ... TEL5 are then used for telephone calls and / or text messages
from the unit.
This is not mandatory when using the Mobeye Internet Portal. If no telephone
numbers have been entered, the notifications will only be sent to the portal and
forwarded by SMS and / or e-mail from there.
Note: the (unlimited number of) contacts who receive SMS / e-mail may be different
from the numbers programmed on TEL1 ... TEL5.
5.2 CALL ON/OFF
Even if the alarm telephone numbers are set in the options, the calling process can
be suppressed. By turning off the CALL, the unit will only send the notification via
textual messages. The default value is set to "ON".
5.3 SMS ON/OFF
This setting is only relevant when using your own SIM card: the Mobeye
WaterGuard alerts after an alarm on the inputs with a call and an SMS. It is possible
to turn off the SMS (OFF). As a factory setting, the SMS is set to "ON".

17
5.4 ALARM DELAY TIME
The input delay time defines the time that the sensor or input is triggered before an
alarm is initiated. If the input returns to the non-alarm status within the delay time, no
alarm is sent. The time can be set between 0 and 999 seconds. As default, the input
delay time for the water leak sensor is set to 30 seconds. The delay time for input 1
and 2 are set to 1 second.
5.5 ALARM REPEAT TIME
In order to emphasize the urgency of the alarm messages, all alarms can be
repeated. As long as the input has not returned to the inactive status, the textual
messages (no phone calls) will be repeated after the ‘alarm repeat time’. The repeat
interval can be set between 0 (no repeat) and 24 hours. As default the alarm repeat
time is set to 4 hours.
5.6 INPUT TYPE
The input type defines the character of the water sensor input, input IN1 and IN2.
This can be Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC). If an input is set to "NO",
the alarm will be triggered as soon as the terminals of the input are closed. If the
input is set to NC, the alarm is triggered when the connection between the input
terminals is broken. The default input type is set to "NO".
5.7 INACTIVE TIME
The “inactive time” defines the time the water sensor or an input is not active after an
activation. During the inactive time, no new alarm message will be sent. Only when
the input returned to the non-alarm status, gets activated again and remains active,
an alarm will be sent yet after the inactive time. If the time is set to “0” (minutes), the
input will be active again immediately after returning to the non-alarm status. The
time can be set between 0 and 60 minutes. As default, the inactive time is set to “0”.

18
5.8 POWER FAILURE MESSAGE
If the Mobeye WaterGuard is powered externally and the power fails, it is able to
make phone calls and/or send textual messages. There are three configuration
options: Alert, Alarm, Off.
Mobeye SIM/Portal
Own SIM
Alert
Message via portal
SMS to TEL1
Alarm
Call to TEL1···TEL5 and
message via portal
SMS + call to TEL1···TEL5
Off
No message
No message
The default setting for the ‘power failure message’ is set to “ALERT”.
5.9 POWER FAILURE DELAY TIME
If the Mobeye WaterGuard is powered externally and the power fails it can notify the
contact person(s). The power failure delay time defines the time between the initial
power failure and the alarm notification. If the power is restored within the delay
time, no alarm is sent. The time can be set between 0 and 999 minutes. As default,
the delay time is set to "0".
5.10 BUTTONLOCK
It can be useful to lock the on/off button to prevent the unit from being switched off
unintentionally. As default the buttonlock is unlocked (so, the button is enabled). To
disable the button, the buttonlock needs to be switched to "ON".
5.11 LOW POWER MODE
A battery-powered Mobeye WaterGuard has the GSM module switched off in stand-
by mode. It only switches on if it has to send a message. An externally powered unit
always keeps the GSM module open (as factory default). When using the “low power
mode” an externally powered unit will also keep the GSM module closed as much as
possible, to minimize the power consumption. To achieve this, the LOWPOWER

19
shall be set to "ON". In the low power mode, the presence of the external power
source will still be monitored.
5.12 TEST MESSAGE
When using the Mobeye Internet Portal: The Mobeye WaterGuard can send regular
test messages (keep alive) to the Mobeye Internet Portal, to ensure the proper
functioning of the unit. The test message will also be sent if the unit is disarmed. The
Mobeye Internet Portal expects the test message and checks the timely receipt. The
monitoring of the test messages follows the ‘management by exception’ rule: only if
the message was not received, the ‘service’ contacts will receive a notification.
The timing of the test message can be programmed. Since new settings (options)
will be synchronised after the test message, setting a specific time of the test
message can help the process of remote programming. Example: if you force a daily
test message at 17.30 hrs, you can prepare new settings and be sure they are
loaded into the device before the evening.
The interval between the test messages can be set between 0 days (no test
message) and 30 days. The default test interval is set to "7" (weekly test message).
When using your own SIM card: The Mobeye WaterGuard can send regular test
SMS messages (keep alive) to the first phone number (TEL1), to ensure the proper
functioning of the unit. The test message function is only active if the unit is armed.
The timing of the test message is determined by the time of programming. The test
time can also be programmed. The interval between the test messages can be set
between 0 days (no test message) and 30 days. The default test interval is set to "0"
(no test message).
