RF EXPOSURE AND ELECTRICAL SAFETY COMPLIANCE
The use of this device in any other type of host configuration may not comply with the RF exposure requirements and
should be avoided. During operation, a 20 cm separation distance should be maintained between the antenna, whether
extended or retracted, and the user’s/bystander’s body (excluding hands, wrists, feet, and ankles) to ensure RF exposure
compliance. The modem is not designed for, nor intended to be, used in applications within 20 cm (8 inches) of the body
of the user. Continued compliance of the equipment relies upon it being used with an AS/NZS 60950.1 approved SELV
power supply.
Caution
Change or modification without the express consent of Maxon Australia Pty. Ltd. voids the user’s authority to use the
equipment. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in an appropriate
installation. The modem is a transmitting device with similar output power to a mobile phone. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not used in accordance with instructions, can cause
harmful radiation to radio communication. Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the device, or result in violation of RF exposure
regulations.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the equipment does cause
harmful interference in radio and television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Re-orient or relocate the receiving radio or TV antenna
Increase the separation distance between the equipment and the receiver
Contact Maxon Australia Technical Support for assistance.
General Safety
RF Interference Issues: Avoid possible radio frequency (RF) interference by carefully following safety guidelines below:
Switch OFF the Modem when in an aircraft. The use of cellular telephones in aircraft is illegal. It may endanger th
e operation of the aircraft and/or disrupt the cellular network. Failure to observe this instruction may lead to sus
pension or denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both.
Switch OFF the Modem in the vicinity of gasoline or diesel fuel pumps or before filling a vehicle with fuel.
Switch OFF the Modem in hospitals and any other place where medical equipment may be in use.
Respect restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or in areas of blasting operati
ons.
There may be a hazard associated with the operation of your Modem in the vicinity of inadequately protected pe
rsonal medical devices such as hearing aids and pacemakers. Please consult the manufacturers of the medical de
vice to determine if it is adequately protected.
Operation of the Modem in the vicinity of other electronic equipment may cause interference if the equipment i
s inadequately protected. Observe any warning signs and manufacturers’ recommendations.
The modem contains sensitive electronic circuitry. Do not expose the modem to any liquids, high temperatures o
r shock. The modem is not waterproof. Please keep it dry and store it in a cool, dry place.
Only use original accessories or accessories that are authorized by the manufacturer. Using unauthorized access
ories may affect your modem’s performance, damage your modem and violate related national regulations.

Always handle the modem with care. There are no user serviceable parts inside the modem. Unauthorised disma
ntling or repair of the modem will void the warranty.

Vehicle Safety
Do not use the Modem while driving.
Respect national regulations on the use of cellular telephones in vehicles. Road safety always comes first.
If incorrectly installed in a vehicle, the operation of the Modem could interfere with the correct functioning of ve
hicle electronics. To avoid such problems, be sure that the installation has been performed by qualified personne
l.
Verification of the protection of vehicle electronics should be part of the installation.
Note: The user is cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by Maxon Australia could void the
warrantee.
Potentially Unsafe Areas
Posted Facilities: Turn off this device in any facility or area when posted notices require you to do so.
Blasting Areas: Turn off your device where blasting is in progress. Observe restrictions and follow any regulations or
rules.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres: Turn off your device when you are in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily
injury or death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked. They include:
fuelling areas such as gas or petrol stations
below deck on boats
transfer or storage facilities for fuel or chemicals
vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas, such as propane or butane
areas when the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders
avoid using the modem in areas that emit electromagnetic waves or enclosed metallic structures e.g. lifts.
any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your engine

Introduction
1.1 Overview
Multimax provides two digital inputs (DI) and two digital outputs (DO), which meet the application
requirement of supervisory control and monitoring system. For example, when one temperature
sensor’s sampling temperature is out of normal level, Multimax connecting to sensor will send out
alarm SMS.
1.2 Objective
To help users to configure Digital inputs and Digital Output and test with their devices.
1.3 Parts Used
Hardware requirement:
one mobile phone which support SMS and voice call function. line.
10K resistor LED slide switch copper wire

Software requirement:
System requirement:
Windows 7 (32/64), Windows V ista (32/64), Windows 2008 (32/64), Windows 2003 (32/64),
Windows 2000, Windows
XP (32/64) .
1.4 Connection Diagram
Follow the connection diagram below, refer to Parts Used, and connect two 10K resistors, two
LEDs, two slide switches and serial electric line to the connector terminal. We can connect
“12VDC”to power input (which standard powerinput is 12VDC), and then use a serial electric line
connect “GND” to “V-” (GND of 12VDC power).
Note: please check the connector interface of Multimax you can find out “V-”easily at one of the pin of power
input connector.


Connect slide switch to pin In1\In2 and V-. For testing, all we need to do is to change the electric level of pin
In1 and In2 (DI).
2. Connection diagram of DO
12VDC power supply --> 10K resistor --> LED --> pin Out1\ Out2.
Pin GND connect to V-.
Configuration
2.1Configure Phone Book
In the following test, if DI is triggered, need to send out a trigger SMS to specific Phone. No, that is
what we need to configure this tab “Phone Book”.
1. Open Multimax’s Web GUI, go to “Configuration” --> “Phone Book” --> click “Add” to add phone
number in tab “Phone No.” and enter specific description at tab “Description”. For example, when
you enter Saroj’s Phone No. , you can enter “Saroj Testing” in “Description” --> click “Apply” at the
right button of the page.
2. Go to another tab “Configuration” --> “Phone Book”--> “Phone Group”--> click “Add”, in the
new page, assign different Phone no. to different group and set group name --> click “Apply”.

enable “DO Configuration”
--> In tab “Alarm Source”, click to enable “SMS Control”
“Status When Power on”, enter “10”in tab “Keep On (s)”if you want Digital output
to be on only 10 sec. If you leave 0, the output will be on until you turn off the
Output.
--> Click “Apply”at the right button of the page.

Testing
Refer to Test Connection Diagram, the whole methods of DIDO test are listed as
follow:
If slide switch closes. DO will connect to GND (which has connected to V-), and
then LED will be lit up. Use Saroj or Imran mobile phone to send SMS “Output 1 Off”
to turn off the Digital Output
If SMS Control is configured as DO Alarm source, when send specific SMS to
Multimax, DO will connect to GND (which has connected to V-), and then LED will be
lit up.
If Call Control is configured as DO Alarm source, when specific user make a call to
Multimax, DO will connect to GND (which has connected to V-), and then LED will be
lit up.
