CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your purchase of PICOBOX Facility Management Controller (FMGuard).
FMGuard is an industrial DIN rail device used as remote surveillance or as a low-priced
autonomous system, which will be able to monitor and control different process on
distant localities. The device is powerful, easy to configure and install. You are advised to
read through this User Manual to understand the features in details and to utilize fully the
capability of the product.
FMGuard is a standalone alarm monitoring controller with 8 digital inputs, 8 digital outputs,
4 analog inputs and 4 analog outputs. The digital inputs can be connected by a switch
contact type equipment while the analog inputs allow users to connect any industrial
standard transmitter or sensor (0-20mA, 4-20mA, 0-5V and 0-10V). The user can define
each input according to the type of equipment the inputs are interfaced to. When the
input changes its state from normal to alarm or alarm to normal, the device will deliver
an SMS message, send reports over TCP/IP network or send an e-mail to a predefined
receiver.

CHAPTER 4: HARDWARE GUIDE
This section will guide you through the installation of your FMGuard. Follow the instructions here
and you will have your FMGuard installed very quickly.
Mounting
Determine a suitable location for FMGuard. Mount FMGuard on a din-rail as illustrated below.
1 –Slide the top of FMGuard onto the din-rail
2 –Push the bottom of FMGuard onto the until the lock on the bottom clicked.
3 –Test if the device is properly mounted by trying to move it away from the din-rail, do not exert
too much force on this test.
FMGUARD Installation
Step 1 - Determine a suitable location for FMGuard when selecting a location, remember that
you will need to connect the power adapter, termination blocks and Ethernet cable, and have
suitable GSM reception. Follow carefully the instructions provided earlier in this manual on the
safe use of this device and the instructions above on mounting FMGuard on to the Din-Rail.
Step 2 –Insert a valid 3G or 2G Micro SIM card into the SIM card socket slot the bottom of
FMGuard.
•Below shows the exact orientation of how the Micro SIM card should be inserted
into the SIM card slot.
•Slide it in all the way until you feel it touching the end. Lock the SIM card by
moving the mechanical lock to the right. To remove, move the mechanical lock
to the left then gently press on the SIM card using a small slot head screwdriver.
Step 3 –Attach the antenna provided in the package onto the antenna socket. If an external
antenna is required, contact your distributor for more information on external high gain antenna.
18 | P a g e
DC Input
FMGuard is supplied with 24VDC power adapter. If using user-supplied power supply, observe
voltage polarity and voltage level. FMGuard operates on 24 VDC input but can accept supply
voltage up to 36VDC. Do not exceed the recommended- input voltage, exceeding which will
damage FMGuard.
Ethernet
The RJ-45 connector connects FMGuard to the computer or network using Cat5 UTP cable. For
connection to a single PC, use a Ethernet cable supplied with the unit. A hub or Ethernet switch
is not necessary for direct FMGuard to PC interface. FMGuard can be used as a standalone
system, or connected to the local area network (LAN). A LAN connection gives greater flexibility
as well as enabling FMGuard to work with other networking devices.
Antenna
This SMA connector interfaces the external antenna to the internal GSM modem of FMGuard.
Choose suitable antenna for your installation. The SMA mount Antenna supplied, as standard
accessory is the unity gain antenna. This antenna is suitable for most installation. If the location
has low GSM signal strength, use high gain antenna or outdoor type. Check with your distributor
for suitable antenna alternatives.
Reset Button
The button is located at the front side (lower right) of FMGuard, this button is a combined
reset/diagnostic switch. It is necessary to use a small thin object with a diameter approximately
2mm for this purpose.
By activating the switch shortly, FMGuard will do a power reset, as if the power was removed
and reapplied. If the reset switch is held down for approximately 3 seconds, the device will
instead enter recovery mode and the application will not be restarted. In the recovery mode
the system will automatically turn on the GSM module to establish connection to the GSM
network and server gateway.
Pressing reset will also activate the device when in power down mode. If the external power is
removed and the backup battery is disabled, the reset switch can still be used to boot into
recovery mode, as long as there is enough power left in the battery.
19 | P a g e
Battery
FMGuard contains an internal Li-Ion battery for operation even, when the external power is
absent making it possible to report power loss. Please note that when the external power is
removed, the device will power down by default. This setting is can be changed on the LCD
settings.
The analog outputs will automatically stop working when power failure occurs, the internal
battery is not enough to power up or supply the voltage needed.
The battery charging is automatically by the system, leaving no need for user interaction.
The battery cycle (numbers of charges and discharges) also influences capacity. After 300
cycles the capacity has dropped to approximately 80% of initial capacity. Lifetime of the Lithium
coin-cell in this state is 6+ years.
External Li-Ion Battery (Optional)
External battery connection is possible on the terminal block connectors on the top side.
Jumpers located on the back side of the device is used to switch between the internal and
external battery.
Note:
Only Lithium Ion batteries (3.7V nominal) are allowed as external battery, and both
battery switching jumpers (jumper 1 and jumper 2) must be moved together. Mixing the jumpers
in different positions may cause abnormal operation, and in worst case damage the
battery/device.

Note:
The jumper pins are exposed, when not covered by the jumper. When mounting the device in
the installation make sure that the jumper pins don’t touch any metal surfaces. Covering the
battery selection jumper opening after installation/selection of desired battery is advised.
WARNING!!!
Misusing the FMGuard may cause the built-in battery security circuit to be damaged.
•Do not place the FMGuard device on high temperature locations such as in direct
sunlight or near engines. Using the device in this harsh environment may result in loss of
battery performance and a shortened life expectancy.
•Do not expose the device to water, salt water or allow the battery to get wet.
•Avoid strong impacts and shocks.
DIP SWITCH
The DIP Switch located at the back of FMGuard is a mode selection switch for analog input and
analog output. Both analog input and analog output operate on two modes: Voltage or Current
mode.
The blue DIP switch is for the analog output while the red DIP switch is for the analog input.
The lower position of the DIP switch is for Voltage mode. The number above the blue DIP switch
denotes the addressing of the analog output while the number below the red DIP switch
denotes the addressing of the analog input. The voltage mode can be 0 - 5V or 0 - 10V,
configurable on the user interface.
