1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Mobeye PowerGuard is a monitoring device with an integrated
communication module used to send alarm notifications after a power failure
or after the activation of an input. It can also run on batteries for a long time.
In order to activate the device, a few steps are to be followed.
First of all, you need to insert a SIM card. With the Mobeye SIM card, the
PowerGuard uses the 4G LTE-M network. This network has a strong network
coverage, deep penetrability in buildings and also works in remote areas. The
Mobeye SIM card is a 'multi-provider' and can be used internationally; it may
choose from several providers per country. In case of a network problem it
will switch to another provider or fall back to 2G. In addition, the Mobeye
SIM card offers access to the Mobeye Internet Portal. This management
environment gives the device essential functions such as online
programming, display of status and history, extensive possibilities for
reporting messages and will also monitor test messages (keep alive).
Optionally, alarm messages are sent as a push message via an app. The
relevant contact person will receive instructions and an installation link on
their phone.
It is also possible to place your own (2G) SIM card. The most important alarm
functions such as calling and/or texting after an alarm also work. The
communication goes entirely through the 2G network. The Mobeye Internet
portal features will not work.
Where the installation steps differ for both modes of use, this is indicated.
The use of the Mobeye Internet Portal with Mobeye SIM card is also referred
to as Mobeye SIM/Portal.

2. STANDARD BEHAVIOUR
2.1 POWERGUARD WITH MOBEYE SIM AND INTERNET PORTAL
The Mobeye PowerGuard with Mobeye SIM card and registered on the
Mobeye Internet Portal, has the following behaviour as factory settings:
- When an external power supply is used and a power failure occurs, the
Mobeye PowerGuard sends a ‘power failure’ message to Mobeye Internet
Portal. The Portal forwards the alarm as push notification, call (spoken
message), text message and/or e-mail to the ‘alarm contacts’. When the
power is restored, the Mobeye PowerGuard sends a ‘power restored’
message.
- In case one of the inputs is activated by a sensor, the Mobeye
PowerGuard sends an alarm message to the Mobeye Internet Portal, to
be forwarded to the ‘alarm contacts’.
- As long as the power failure does not recover or the inputs remain in the
alarm status, the Mobeye PowerGuard repeats sending the alarm
message via the Mobeye Internet Portal every four hours.
- When the batteries need to be replaced, the Mobeye PowerGuard 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.
Communication between the Mobeye PowerGuard and the Mobeye Internet
Portal takes place via data (and SMS as fallback). Messages can be sent to an
app (via the portal) as a push message. If the notification is confirmed in the
app, it will not be forwarded to subsequent contacts (alternatively a group
message is possible). If the message is not confirmed (or the app is not
used), it can still be sent by call (with spoken text), SMS or email. A credit
system applies to calling and SMS texting, the other methods are unlimited.
At initialisation and contract renewal, a starting credit is loaded, which is
sufficient for most users. In the event of a low balance, the account holder
will receive an email with the advice to top up online. The credit balance has
an unlimited validity period and applies to all devices under one account.

2.2 MOBEYE POWERGUARD WITH OWN SIM CARD
The Mobeye PowerGuard, equipped with your own SIM card, has the
following standard behavior as factory settings:
- When an external power supply is used and a power failure occurs, the
Mobeye PowerGuard sends a ‘power failure’ SMS text message and calls
the phone numbers programmed in by the user. When the power is
restored, the Mobeye PowerGuard sends a ‘power restored’ SMS text
message.
- When one of the inputs is activated by a sensor, the Mobeye PowerGuard
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 Mobeye
PowerGuard repeats sending the SMS alarm message every four hours.
- When the batteries need to be replaced, the Mobeye PowerGuard sends a
‘low battery’SMS text message to the first telephone number.
Chapter 5 describes how to influence the standard behaviour.

b. Activate the SIM card and the device
c. Program the settings and synchronise
d. Use of the portal and app
6. Programming when using your own SIM card
a. Enter the program mode
b. Program the settings
Steps 1 to 4 are described in sections 3.1 up to Fout! Verwijzingsbron niet
gevonden..
Step 5 is described in chapter 4. Step 6 can be found in chapter 6.
3.1 OPEN THE CASING AND INSERT THE SIM CARD
Open the casing by pressing the corners of the front panel with both thumbs.
Insert the SIM card into the module.

8
When using the Mobeye SIM card:
The Mobeye SIM card is PIN code secured and will only work in a Mobeye
device. Please do not place it in another device.
When using your own SIM card:
An own SIM card has a “micro” format, is suitable for the 2G network and can
make calls and send text messages. The PIN code is "0000", or the SIM card
is PIN code free.
(A PIN code can be changed or removed by putting the SIM card in to any mobile phone
and entering the 'security' menu.)
Note: make sure that the power supply is removed when inserting or
changing the SIM card. The settings are stored in the device memory.
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 AN EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY
Connect the 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).
Mobeye adapter 10027 position
- V+ to “+” black lead with white stripe left
- Ground to “-“black lead 2nd from left
3.4 CONNECT A SENSOR TO THE INPUT (OPTIONALLY)
Two external sensors can be connected to the inputs.

9
Insert the 2 wires of an external sensor through the hole in the casing 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.
A second sensor may be connected to input 2.
As default the input is programmed as Normally
Open (NO) contact. This means the input is
triggered if the input is closed for at least 1
second. In case the contact is Normally Closed
(NC), see paragraph 5.4. If the sensor needs to
be activated for a longer period before
triggering an alarm, see 5.4.
If a recovery message after an alarm reset is desired, see 5.7.
3.5 NETWORK CONNECTION AND PROGRAM MODE
After placing the batteries (and external power) the Mobeye PowerGuard will
search for the network. The outside LED flashes green and red. This process
normally takes 10-30 seconds, in a new device this can take some minutes.
When the network has been established the LED will first blink green rapidly
and next stay green (or flashes 1 sec. on/1 sec. off in case the unit has not
been configured yet).
In a battery-operated unit a time-out occurs after 3 minutes,
after which the communication module switches off in order
to save the batteries. In this low power mode the LED flashes
once per 3 seconds. It will search for network connection
once it needs to send notifications. It can also been forced to
establish a network connection by re-inserting the batteries
or pressing the button at the back for 5 seconds.
If the PowerGuard is connected to an external power supply, it has
continuous network connection and is permanently in program mode.

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
([e-mail]).
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.
If the SIM card and batteries are already installed, a pop-up will appear,
where you assign a name and location to the device. You can change these
later.
(If you have not installed the SIM card and batteries before, you will first be
asked to select the device type, in your case it will be “CM4100”.)
At the moment you accept the price and terms, you confirm the subscription.
You will be taken to the payment screen. You will receive an invoice for the
mentioned amount. Your new device is now visible on the dashboard.
Before the device is ready for use, first prepare the settings and alarm
forwarding. See next paragraphs to learn how to do this.

4.3 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 button (at the backside) for 5 seconds.
4) pressing the SYNC symbol in the portal settings (only visible if external
power is connected), or sending the SMS command 1111 SYNC to the
phone number in the unit (1111 is the security code in factory settings).
During the data exchange with the portal, the LED flashes green. A battery-
operated unit will first blink red-green while connecting to the network.
4.4 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.
If devices in the dashboard have logging functions, the dashboard changes
when you click on "Diagrams" or "Gauges" in the gray bar.
Select a device to go to the details of a specific device.
Status & History
The status block shows values about the status of the unit.
If the "Synchronised" status is set to "No", there are new settings or alarm
numbers that still need to be transferred to the device.
The network strength value at the last communication session is shown. If
the value is lower than -98 dB, 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 list.

12
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 4.3 for more information about synchronizing.
In the block “device data”the name and location of the device can be
changed. These texts are mentioned in the call, text message and e-mail 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 messages" you link the contact persons who
receive alarm and service messages via push notification, call, 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.
Tips:
- The alarm messages (including the voice call) consist of a combination of
the name, location and message text.
- Always insert a contact to receive service messages by e-mail.
- Assign calls and text messages only after the test phase in order to save
credits.
Message texts
The message texts contain the texts that, in addition to the name and
location, are included in the messages. These texts can be adapted to your
own text. Forwarding a notification can be prevented by starting the
message text with $$--.

4.5 HOW TO ACTIVATE THE POWERGUARD
After the previous steps the Mobeye PowerGuard is ready for use. It is armed
automatically.
In order to switch off (disarm) the PowerGuard:
- Press the button at the backside for 1 second. The
green LED switches off to indicate the disarmed
status.
In the disarmed status the Mobeye PowerGuard
will not send alarm notifications. The unit remains
active and is able to switch on time-controlled and
to send test and 'low battery voltage' messages.
In order to switch on (arm) the Mobeye PowerGuard:
- Press the button at the backside 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 (with network connection), switching can be done via
SMS commands:
SMS command to switch on: CODE ARM (e.g. 1111 ARM)
SMS command to switch off: CODE DISARM (e.g. 1111 DISARM)
To update the status in the Mobeye Internet Portal: press the button for 5
seconds, or - if the device is externally powered - send a question mark to
the unit (without code).
SMS command status update: ? The status in the portal will be
refreshed (only with external
power).

14
4.6 SYSTEM RESET
To reset the PowerGuard two steps are necessary, in following sequence:
1. Delete the Mobeye PowerGuard from the Mobeye Internet Portal
Go to "Device Settings" and click on the delete icon in the "Device" block.
Then confirm your choice.
2. Reset the Mobeye PowerGuard 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.

15
5. POSSIBLE SETTINGS
The Mobeye PowerGuard 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 6).
5.1 ALARM PHONE NUMBERS
When using Mobeye Internet Portal: an unlimited number of contacts can
receive the alarm messages. These are set in the portal.
When using your own SIM card: the Mobeye PowerGuard can inform 5
telephone numbers in the event of an alarm. It is mandatory to set at least
one number (TEL1). The numbers set are used for the telephone calls and/or
SMS messages from the unit.
5.2 TEST MESSAGE
When using the Mobeye Internet Portal: The Mobeye PowerGuard 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 may 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).
When using your own SIM card: The Mobeye PowerGuard 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 set. The interval between the test

16
messages can be set between 0 days (no test message) and 30 days. The
default test interval is set to "0" (no test message).
5.3 INPUT TYPE
The input type defines the character of the additional inputs 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".
It is possible to connect a sensor with an analog output value between 1V
and 48V, by placing a resistor or relay between the sensor and the input. For
an explanation, see the support page on www.mobeye.com.
5.4 ALARM DELAY TIME
The input delay time defines the time that the 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 is set to 1 second.
5.5 INACTIVE TIME
The “inactive time” defines the time 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”.
5.6 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 and 24 hours. As default the
alarm repeat time is set to 4 hours.

17
5.7 ALARM RESTORE MESSAGE
In factory setting, the Mobeye PowerGuard does not send a recovery
message if an input alarm has been restored. If this is desired, an “action
rule” can be programmed for this via an SMS command. For this purpose,
the device must be in program mode (see 3.5).
When using the Mobeye Internet Portal
1111 IN1RESET:SEND Restore message via portal for input 1
1111 IN2RESET:SEND Restore message via portal for input 2
After a first restore message the text is visible (and can be changed) under
the message texts in the Mobeye Internet Portal.
When using your own SIM card (replace yourowntext for another text)
1111 IN1RESET:SEND,yourowntext Restore SMS for input 1
1111 IN2RESET:SEND,yourowntext Restore SMS for input 2
For more information, see the support page on www.mobeye.com.
5.8 POWER FAILURE MESSAGE
If the Mobeye PowerGuard is supplied with external power and the power
fails, it can send alarm messages. If the setting is "OFF", no message is sent.
When set to “ALARM”, notifications are sent to the set contacts. When using
your own SIM card, the setting “ALERT” only results in an SMS notification to
TEL1. The default setting is "ALARM".
5.9 POWER FAILURE DELAY TIME
To avoid false alarms caused by short power failures, a power failure delay
time can be set. This 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 AUTOMATIC ARMING / DISARMING
The Mobeye PowerGuard only works if the unit is armed, which is done via
the on/off button. It is possible to automatically arm and disarm the unit,
based on an arming and/or disarming time scheme. Two schemes can be

18
entered, which can be assigned to the days in the week (e.g. to have a
different weekend scheme).
As default the automatic (dis) arming times are valid for all days. It is possible
to assign them to only a few days in the week. In this way it is possible to
have two different schemes, which are valid on different days.
As value the weekdays can be entered. Monday is 1, Tuesday is 2, etc. If the
scheme is valid for several days, the days can be set in a row (e.g. 12345
means Monday till Friday).
Example: to arm the system only during weekdays, from 6AM to 7PM, set the
TIMEARM1 to 06:00, TIMEDISARM1 to 19:00 and DAYS1 to 12345.
(Only) when using your own SIM card, the DATE and TIME must also be set
manually. The portal synchronizes this automatically.
5.11 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".
5.12 EXIT DELAY TIME
The exit delay time defines the time between the moment of switching on
the module –while the input is active –and the moment the module starts
sending the first alarm message. Example: the module has been installed in a
cabinet where a door magnet contact is connected to the input. The exit
delay time is the time between switching on the module and closing the
cabinet’s door. Only after this time has exceeded, alarm messages will be
sent. The time can be set between 0 and 999 seconds. As default, the exit
delay time is set to 0 second.
5.13 LOW POWER MODE
The low power mode is only important with an externally powered Mobeye
PowerGuard. If the (factory) mode is set to “OFF”, the communication
module will always have a network connection. When set to “ON” the
behaviour is the same as for a battery-powered device; the communication
module is turned off as much as possible to minimize power consumption.

19
Note: in low power mode the module cannot be reached via SMS
commands.
5.14 CALL AND/OR SMS (OWN SIM CARDS)
When using your own SIM card, by default the PowerGuard will call and send
SMS text messages. It is possible to suppress one of these. By turning off the
CALL, the unit will only send SMS text messages. By turning off the SMS, it
will only call. The default both values are set to "ON".
