2. GETTING STARTED
To get started with the Mobeye PowerGuard at least the following steps need to be taken in
following order:
1. Place SIM card (with PIN code 0000 or without PIN code)
2. Place the batteries
3. Connect the unit to the external power supply
4. Program at least one telephone number (administrators’ number)
5. Arming/disarming the system
These steps are further explained in this chapter. After these steps the module will be
operational.
2.1 PLACE A SIM CARD
Open the enclosure with the 4 screws and insert a SIM card into the module. Push the black
cover outward slightly to open the holder. Before installing the SIM card should have PIN code
"0000", or be free of a PIN code.
(A PIN code can be changed or removed by putting the SIM card in a mobile phone and change or remove
the PIN in the security menu.)
NB: make sure the SIM card is inserted before the batteries are placed. In case of a SIM card
change, please first remove the batteries (and remove any other external power supply).
2.2 PLACE THE BATTERIES
Place the two batteries (CR123) in the module. Use the +/- indication for the correct placement.
The green LED will flash to indicate that the module is not configured (at least one telephone
number should be programmed).
2.3 CONNECT THE UNIT TO THE EXTERNAL POWER
SUPPLY
Connect the external power adapter (or any other regulated
12VDC power supply) to the power input of the connector:
- V+ (black lead with white stripe) to “+”
- Ground (black lead) to “-“
As soon as the power supply is connected, the module
searches for GSM network connection; during this time the
LED outside is flashing. As soon as network connection is
established, the LED will be ‘on’.
2.4 PROGRAM AT LEAST ONE TELEPHONE NUMBER
The Mobeye PowerGuard is able to send messages up to 5 telephone numbers. The first
telephone number belongs to the administrator. Technical messages (like “battery low”) are sent
to the administrator only. Without the administrators’phone number, the Mobeye PowerGuard
cannot not function.
When the PowerGuard is in initial (factory) status and power supply is connected (so the LED is
‘on’), the administrators’number is programmed by calling the telephone number of the Mobeye
PowerGuard using the administrators’ phone. The unit will recognize this number and store it as
administrator (telephone number 1). The administrator will receive a confirmation SMS text
message including the security code. This code is needed to program the other settings in the
unit.
NB: for this way of programming the number recognition in the administrator’s phone must be
‘on’. To program or change the administrators’ number by SMS command, please refer to 4.4.1.
