3. e Ovens Heaters kettles e Pumps and motors above 500W Please note Keep in mind that if required the above loads can easily be switched on and off using an externally connected relay or contactor One can connect 2 temperature sensors to the GSM Commander at the expansion port via a temperature interface module to measure temperature and allow the GSM commander to perform certain tasks if the temperature falls above or below a certain point The sensor provides an accuracy of 2 C The temperature sensor with 2m 4m or 8m lead and temperature interface is available from Polygon Technologies Analog Input TO INTERNAL ADC 0 gt 0 98V 8 BIT 10K 1 Analog Input 1K 1 Terminals GND GND The GSM Commander provides a single 0 10 8V analog input which can be used to measure incoming voltages from sensor devices Using an appropriate resistor one can also connect 4 20mA sources to the GSM Commander See application note under section 18 What makes this input so special is that the GSM Commander can interpret the analog value on your behalf It is perhaps the best to explain this at the hand of a good example FULL 5000 litre Sensor Gives 7 8v Suppose you have a water tank with a level sensor that is connected to the analog input of the GSM Commander The sensor is such that when the tank is empty the voltage is 1 2V and when the tank is full the voltage is 7 8V The configuration software allows
4. you to request the current reading in a scaled format You would thus tell the software that 7 8V should correspond to 5000 litres and 1 2V should correspond to 0 litres and leave the rest of the calculations to the GSM Commander EMPTY 0 litre Sensor Gives 1 2v Polygon Technologies All rights reserved Page 13 You can now receive a message from the Commander detailing the actual contents of the tank in litres instead of just a raw value Which you would otherwise have had to convert back to real numbers yourself Please note that this feature assumes a linear relationship between the input voltage and the desired output units Thus this will not work very well for a cylindrical tank that is mounted on its side as the voltage from the level sensor is not linearly proportional to the actual contents of the tank The user is also able to define the message to precede and the message to follow the analog value The output of the circuit above feeds to an Analog to Digital converter with a reference voltage of 0 98V and a resolution of 8 bits The full scale input voltage to the GSM Commander is therefore 10 8V The range of the analog input can easily be increased by the addition of a resistor in series with the analog input Below are some examples of resistor values and the resultant input ranges 1K Ohm 0 11 8V 3 3K Ohm 0 14 0V 6 8K Ohm 0 17 4V 10K Ohm 0 20 6V 15K Ohm 0 25 5V The co
