3 Product Information
3.1 INFRA Monitoring System
3.1.1 General
The Sigicom INFRA monitoring system is a complete measuring system - from
sensor to web presentation, including post processing capabilities and reporting
function.
The INFRA-system can easily execute advanced, remote and unmanned field
measurements.
Various environmental disturbances can be measured and monitored, such as
vibration, noise, shockwaves, dust etc.
A number of sensor types are available and up to 16 sensors (nodes) can be
operated by one INFRA Master, but to ensure smooth operation maximum nine
(9) nodes are recommended. Note that the Triaxial Geophone V12 consists of
three (3) nodes.

12 Copyright © Sigicom AB 2003-2013
INFRA MASTER
3.1.2 INFRA Concept
The INFRA Master has two working modes, REG OFF and REG ON.
REG OFF In this mode, all connected nodes are passive and no data
registration is done. In order to save battery power, INFRA
Master will automatically shut off after some minutes if its left
idle in this mode.
REG ON In this mode, all connected nodes measure and register data
according to their individual specifications and settings. In
order to save battery power, the display of the INFRA Master
will automatically shut off, but data registration will continue.

NOTE To attach an external antenna, the internal antenna cable
must be rewired.

always follow local laws and regulations.
NOTE
An external antenna can be used if the signal strength from
the built-in GSM antenna is insufficient.
Keep cables to external antenna as short as possible.
Be aware, signal strength will decrease with cable length.

4 Configuration
4.1 Data Transfer
All measurement data stored on the CompactFlash card is normally sent to a
data server through GSM/Internet when the GSM modem is enabled and one of
the following events occur:
Node events:
- A transient file is created by a “dynamic” sensor (vibration, air blast etc.).
- A “static” sensor (temperature, water level etc.) has seen a value outside
its thresholds.
- A network problem is discovered, for example a node is lost.
Master Events:
- Data registration is turned on (REG ON) or off (REG OFF).
- Data transfer is manually forced by the operator.
- Scheduled time has elapsed.
- Low battery voltage is discovered.
- The CompactFlash card has little free memory space.

4.2 Running System Without Data Transfer
To disable the GSM function, just add the file “conntype.txt” to config directory,
see section 4.4, and write the word off in this file.
NOTE During system start-up, the text ”Communication: OFF”
will be shown to indicate this non-standard setting.

INFRA MASTER
4.3 GSM Subscription
To automatically send the registered measurements to the database, a GSM
service subscription is needed for each INFRA Master.
NOTE
Make sure there is no PIN code on the SIM card.
Do not use a “secondary” SIM card connected to a
service subscription. This may cause problems.
Requirements of the GSM operator:
- GPRS, with information of the “APN”, and sometimes, user name
and password (PPP).
- GSM data, if GPRS is not available, with server phone number, username
and password.
- SIM card. Please keep notes about the number code (SIM id) printed on
the SIM card, and record in which INFRA Master the card is located. This
will help you identify the SIM-cards location if you need support from the
operator.
- Phone number of the subscription, for traceability reasons (optional).
- No IP-address needed.
NOTE
Internet access is always included in a GPRS subscrip-
tion, but there is a lot of different models of how the
operator charges the data traffic. Please review the
operator’s information about “Telematics”, ICT or M2M
subscriptions before signing a subscription.
