Important
Notice
Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data
can never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be
totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless
devices such as the Sierra Wireless modem are used in a normal manner with a
well-constructed network, the Sierra Wireless modem should not be used in
situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any
kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury,
death, or loss of property. Sierra Wireless accepts no responsibility for damages
of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using
the Sierra Wireless modem, or for failure of the Sierra Wireless modem to
transmit or receive such data.
Safety and
Hazards
Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in areas where blasting is in progress,
near medical equipment, near life support equipment, or any equipment which
may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the Sierra
Wireless modem MUST BE POWERED OFF. The Sierra Wireless modem can
transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.
The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the Sierra Wireless
modem while in control of a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the driver or
operator's control and operation of that vehicle. In some states and provinces,
operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence.
The RV50 Series platform is classified to ANSI/ISA 12.12.01-2016 and CSA
C22.2#213 and are suitable for use in Class 1, Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D
T4, and Class I Zone 2 Group IIC T4 classified Hazardous Locations.
The following warnings and instructions apply:
Warning: EXPLOSION HAZARD–SUBSTITUTION OF COMPONENTS MAY IMPAIR
SUITABILITY FOR CLASS I, DIVISION 2 and CLASS I, ZONE 2.

including serial, Ethernet, and USB ports. The power connector has
one GPlO pin for remote monitoring and control and one ignition
sense pin to turn the gateway on and off.
The RV50 is an LTE cellular gateway that supports a variety of radio
band options, including 3G HSPA+ or CDMA EV-DO mobile
broadband technology.
The RV50X is an LTE-Advanced cellular gateway that supports LTE
and HSPA+ radio bands.
The RV50 Series gateways, with their rich feature set, configurable
with the included ALEOS software, is the perfect choice for a broad
set of IoT solutions.

Gateway Configuration and Management
You can configure and manage your RV50 Series gateway using:
• ACEmanager —a browser-based gateway management application
Refer to the ALEOS Software Configuration User Guide available for down-
load at source.sierrawireless.com.
• AirLink Management Service (ALMS)—a cloud-based gateway
management service provided by Sierra Wireless
For more information, visit www.sierrawireless.com/ALMS or contact your
Sierra Wireless distributor.
• AirLink Mobility Manager (AMM)—a Network Management solution that
provides a consolidated view of the entire vehicle fleet and enables simplified
management, control and monitoring of connected AirLink routers.
• AT Commands
For a complete list of AT Commands, refer to the ALEOS Software Configura-
tion User Guide.
Power Modes
The AirLink RV50 Series gateway has three power modes:
•On—The CPU and the radio are on. The current draw is 900 mW (75 mA @
12 VDC) when the gateway is idle (i.e. no traffic is being sent or received).
•Standby—The CPU and the radio are off, but can be woken by an I/O input
or at a configured time. Current draw is 53 mW (4.4 mA @ 12 VDC).
•Off—All power is switched off. Ignition is low, but Vin remains connected.
Current draw is 11 mW (0.9 mA @ 12 VDC).
Power Saving Features
Table 1-2 provides a quick reference to the RV50 Series power saving features.
For more information, refer to the ALEOS Software Configuration User Guide.
If you are transitioning from a Raven XT or Raven XE to the RV50 Series gateway
and require the RV50 Series gateway to operate with a comparable level of power
consumption, see Transitioning from a Raven Gateway on page 44.

This feature optimizes idle power consumption.
Recommended for customers who require the best power
consumption efficiency, for example in battery or solar
powered applications. Enabling this feature saves energy by
reducing performance where possible.
LED Power Saving In LED power saving mode:
•Signal LED is off when the signal strength is good or
average, but still alerts you when there is no signal or a
poor signal.
•Network LED is off when there is a network connection,
but alerts you when the gateway is connecting to a
network and when there is a problem with the network
connection.
For more details, see LED Behavior on page 41.

Ethernet data rates can be set to Auto, 100 Mbits, 10 Mbits. If
your use case does not require a Gigabit Ethernet connection,
choosing a slower rate results in substantial power savings.
When set to 10 or 100 Mbits, both sides of the link must be set
to the same fixed speed and duplex settings. If you are unable
to ensure that both sides of the link have exactly the same
fixed settings, it is best to use Auto.

Management
If the RV50 Series gateway is installed in a vehicle, connect
the ignition sense pin (Pin 3) on the DC power cable to the
vehicle ignition and configure the RV50 Series gateway to shut
down after a configured delay once the ignition is turned off.
Low Voltage Disconnect The RV50 Series gateway enters standby mode when the
voltage reaches a user-defined threshold to prevent excessive
battery drain in battery-operated systems.
Standby (Time-based) The RV50 Series gateway is in standby mode and
automatically wakes up periodically, for example hourly or
daily.
Standby (I /O-based) The RV50 Series gateway is in standby mode and
automatically wakes up on configured I / O input.

Sample Power Consumption Scenarios
Dual SIM
The AirLink RV50 Series gateway has two SIM card slots. You can decide which
slot is the Primary SIM card. When the gateway is powered on or reboots, it
automatically connects to the network associated with the Primary SIM card. If no
card is present in that slot, it connects to the network associated with the
Secondary SIM card. If configured to do so, data usage is tracked independently
on both SIM cards. SIM PIN configuration is also available for both SIM cards.
This feature allows users to install SIM cards for two different network operators,
use one SIM card initially and later change network operators by configuring the
new SIM card to be the Primary SIM card.

Network Operator Switching
The North American AirLink RV50 Series gateway comes preloaded with multiple
versions of radio module firmware. When the gateway is powered on, it checks
the stored radio module firmware versions and automatically loads the
appropriate version for the installed Primary SIM card onto the radio module.
While Network Operator Switching is in progress, the LEDs sequentially flash
green (green LED chase).
If there is no SIM card installed in the Primary SIM card slot, the gateway uses
the firmware associated with the SIM card in the Secondary SIM card slot.
This feature, which is intended for North American products, makes it possible to
use a single hardware variant on multiple operator networks.
