Warranty and Assistance The COM100 CELLULAR PHONE PACKAGE is warranted by CAMPBELL SCIENTIFIC, INC. to be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for twelve (12) months from date of shipment unless specified otherwise. Batteries have no warranty. CAMPBELL SCIENTIFIC, INC.'s obligation under this warranty is limited to repairing or replacing (at CAMPBELL SCIENTIFIC, INC.'s option) defective products.
WARNING: The red LED power indicator/switch on the RJ11C interface box is lit when the cellular transceiver is on. The control line from the datalogger must be used to turn the transceiver off and on. DO NOT USE THE RED LED POWER BUTTON AS A SWITCH. If the transceiver is manually switched off while under datalogger control, the datalogger will not be able to turn it on again. Refer to Section 9.

HOW TO GET STARTED: 1. Take the COM100 phone package to your cellular service provider to program the phone and setup your service agreement. If your service provider has any questions regarding programming of the phone, have them contact the Motorola Cellular Information Center at 1-800-331-6456. 2. To program your phone your cellular service provider will need: a. COM100 cellular phone package and ESN described in step 3. b.

COM100 Cellular Phone Package Operator's Manual 1. Introduction Telecommunication using cellular telephones is a convenient alternative to standard phone or RF telemetry. In areas with cellular coverage, it has an advantage over ordinary phone lines where the lines are not established and would be costly to install. The advantage over an independent RF telemetry system is that the company providing the cellular service takes care of the FCC licensing and maintenance of cellular repeater stations.

COM100 Cellular Phone Package Users must also figure datalogger, modem, and sensor contribution into their power budgets. For example a standard weather station has minimal current drain but requires an additional 0.25 Ahr/day battery capacity. Campbell Scientific offers several sealed rechargeable battery options for use with the COM100 Cellular System. The batteries offered in our product line are well suited for remote environments where trickle charging by a solar panel is common.

COM100 Cellular Phone Package LED will glow a steady red when a cellular communications tower and dial-tone has been detected by the COM100. Current Campbell Scientific dataloggers provide 12 VDC to the COM210 via the SC12 cable (Figure 2). Older dataloggers do not provide 12 VDC on the datalogger's CS I/O 9 pin connector. When used with the older dataloggers listed in Table1, 12 VDC and ground need to be connected via the green power connector on the side of the COM210 (see Figure 3). Table 1.

COM100 Cellular Phone Package 6.1 Datalogger Support Software Datalogger support software (PC208, PC208E, PC208W) checks the signature of each block of data as it is received from the datalogger. A poor connection will result in the retransmission of incorrectly received blocks. If a link is consistently noisy, use of smaller block sizes may improve throughput. If the connection is completely broken, the software will write an error message to the hard disk.
COM100 Cellular Phone Package 7. Programming to Switch Transceiver Power Switching power to the transceiver allows the datalogger to maintain a lower power budget by limiting communication to predetermined times. The transceiver must be switched on before it can answer or call. This section provides examples of datalogger programming to switch power. If the power supply is sufficient to power the cellular transceiver continuously without switching, no special programming is necessary. 7.

COM100 Cellular Phone Package NOTE When initiating a call from the datalogger (Instruction 97), the transceiver must be switched on at least 15 seconds before the call is placed. 8. Troubleshooting Below are common things to check when trying to troubleshoot a cellular phone problem. 1. No-Answer. You receive a programmed message after several rings that the cellular customer you are trying to reach has their phone turned off or has traveled outside of the coverage area. Q.
COM100 Cellular Phone Package on. (This is for testing purposes only.) Do not turn if off. See warning in front of manual. Q. Can you call in or out of the site with a standard touch-tone telephone? A simple analog touch-tone telephone can be used to test the cellular phone system. Disconnect the field modem from the 4-pin RJ11C Interface box. Connect your analog phone to this same 4-pin port. Set the control port high connected to the green control wire.
COM100 Cellular Phone Package Campbell Scientific’s PC208 and PC208W software has error checking algorithms to ensure the integrity of your data even on very noisy links. Given that the COM100 system typically has power cycled to it, noisy links will take more time because the suspect data packets are re-sent again to the computer. If the datalogger sees more than 150 invalid characters, it will terminate the link.
COM100 Cellular Phone Package ground of the separate power supply connected to the datalogger’s ground? 4) Verify the COM210 is the only Modem Enable device connected to the datalogger. Other common Campbell Scientific modem enable devices are the SC32A, some RF modems, and the MD9. 5) Verify the datalogger is turned on. To comply with FCC Rules and Regulations, all repairs on the COM210 modem must be performed by Campbell Scientific, Inc. or an authorized agent of Campbell Scientific, Inc.
COM100 Cellular Phone Package The following 5 steps must be performed in the exact order listed to restore the proper “ power on” state: 1. Connect the antenna via the coaxial cable to the transceiver. 2. Apply primary power (Ground and +12VDC) to the Black and Red Wires respectively. 3. Apply +5VDC power to the ignition sense line (green Wire) by setting a control port high. 4. Depress the red LED switch to turn on the phone. LED will flash for about 10 seconds and then glow a steady RED. 5.
