1. OVERVIEW 1.1. Advisory Symbols Warning! Improper usage or handling may cause non-compliant device operation. Warning! High voltage presents risk of injury due to electric shock. Direct Current (DC). 1.2. Module Identification The label contains the CalAmp part number, serial number, IC and FCC ID numbers. Additional labeling will be required on the end device.
1.3. General Description The CalAmp WiMetryTM Core Module is an Internet Protocol-based, bidirectional wireless data concentrator platform used for advanced metering and demand response monitoring and control applications. The platform also has other smart grid applications and facilitates real-time acquisition of critical usage and rate data from electric, gas or water meters via public wireless networks and the Internet.
1.4. External Connectors See the images below for location of external connectors.

2. EXTERNAL INTERFACES 2.1. Power Connection The connector on the core module is the Molex 43045-0401: The mating connector (required for the power cable) is the Molex 43025-0400. The contact required on the mating cable is the Molex 43030-0002 The core module is powered either from the J18 power connector or from the Meter Interface Connector. The pinout of the J18 power connector is below. The pinout of the Meter Interface Connector is in its own section.
2.2. EIA-232 DB-9 connector The concentrator contains a standard DB-9 female serial port connector that contains all the required signals for EIA-232 serial communication per the EIA-232 specification. The table below provides the information to purchase or cables to connect to the DB-9 female connector on the core module.
2.3. External I/O The Core Module contains a variety of digital and analog external I/O. This I/O can be used to interface with external sensor or logic. The connector on the core module is the Molex 43045-0101: The mating connector (required for the power cable) is the Molex 43025-1000.
Digital Inputs: Input Voltage Range: 0-28VDC, 1.
2.4. Meter Interface Connector (P6) The Meter Interface connector is Samtec MMS-115-02-L-DV The Mating Connector to the Meter interface Connector is the Samtec TW-15-07-L-D-570-090. This connector is a surface mount connector and must be mounted to a mating PCB.

Cellular Module The Core Module contains a mini PCI express connector (P3) for connecting a 3G cell module. CalAmp will install the cell module prior to shipment.
3. GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES Refer to module overview images, Figures 1 and 2, for locations of mounting holes. The core module is mounted using the four mounting holes on the corners of the module using #4 screws. Although not necessary for emissions compliance, it is recommended that each mounting hole or the associated edge copper rails are electrically connected to the chassis ground of the assembly enclosure.
