SICOS-LCD
System overview
SICOS is a remote control, which allows the user to
manage all electric appliances from remote site
As SICOS use the GSM network and SMS it needs a SIM
card to work properly
The LCD and the keys allow the user to setup and modify
some operating parameters, even if this may be done
also by SMS.
SICOS is a friendly and flexible device, it can be used for
a variety of applications, i.e. GSM dialer, remote gate
opener, lights control, emergency calls, irrigation control,
teleservice.....
Starting
1)
Get a SIM card, and take note of the phone
number of this SIM
2)
DISABLE the PIN code, placing the SIM in a GSM
phone and doing that.
3)
Remove all SMS if the SIM is not a new one
4)
Install the SIM previously checked in the SICOS'
slot as shown below, pushing it completely inside
until it will be locked
5)
Connect the antenna cable or the short antenna
to the proper FME connector
Connectors
Power Supply:
SICOS must be supplied with a 12V CC or Ca power
supply using terminals 18 and 19
The current consumption is around 0,3Amp
Relays:
Relays contacts are available as follows:
relay 1 33(NA) 34(C) 35(NC)
relay 2 36(NA) 37(C) 38(NC)
relay 3 39(NA) 40(C) 41(NC)
relay 4 42(NA) 43(C) 44(NC)
All relays contacts are "voltage free" so they can be used
for every usage. If it is necessary to supply power to a
device trough those contacts a power voltage must be
applied taking care of maximum ratings of contacts
(6A@250V). Please take a look to the installation guide
examples.
Sensors inputs:
Four inputs are available for temperature and/or humidity
sensors. May be used analog temp sensors (LM35)
digital temp sensors (DS18S20) or digital temp/humidity
sensors (
SHT71)
Sensors setup:
SICOS must be set according to the specified type of
sensor that is used. To do that enter the setup menu and
choose sensor type according to the one used.
Pay attention to the maximum wire length of each sensor
Digital inputs:
The 8 Digital inputs are optocoupled, this means that the
device is reasonably sure against disturbances coupled
over the wiring tied to the inputs terminals.
NO VOLTAGE must by applied to the inputs, only a
"voltage free" contacts must be used
Inputs terminals are placed as follows:
Inp 1 2-1(COM)
Inp 5 8-7(COM)
Inp 2 3-1(COM)
Inp 6 9-7(COM)
Inp 3 5-4(COM)
Inp 7 11-10(COM)
Inp 4 6-4(COM)
Inp 8 12-10(COM)
USB:
SICOS use USB connection to a PC in order to provide
debug facility or another way of setup parameters.
USB drivers may be downloaded at www.kramzzz.com
Battery
SICOS has an internal Li-Ion battery. The main purpose
of this battery is to guarantee the operation of the device
for some hours after power supply fail. During power fail
SMS sent to SICOS are stored and they will be executed
at the power supply return.
Display
The LCD display shows menu driven information, usually
parameters setting or user interface.
Keyboard
Keys are used to navigate menus and change setting
values, as per the LCD indications.
Please use "MENU" key to start, or escape and restart
settings
Power supply sensor:
This is an embedded sensor, mainly intended for alerting
the user of the power supply fails.
The delay time from power supply fail and message
sending is normally set at 30 sec, but may be easily
modified from 1 to 999 sec in according to user needs.
To do that enter the setup menu and choose power fail
delay to change set value.
