We regret to inform you that this product is DISCONTINUED; please find our current products here
 

The  new version of  the Communication Controller E924 offers in addition  GPS receiver support and mobile phone Short Message Service (SMS) support. It is designed for the long-term operation in field conditions
 
Basic Features
  • Communication between a light and  the regional    monitoring and control centre.  Communication over  the LAN of a light with up to 23 nodes
  • Regular polling of the LAN’s nodes (other equipment units of a light ) in every 15 minutes 
  • Programmable time scheduling of regular  communication sessions,  and immediate sending of the emergency messages to the control centre 
  • Responding to the commands and inquiries from  the regional  monitoring and control centre
  • Measurement and recording of  5 analogue input signals in every 15 minutes, the last 256 records are accessible. Checking  of contact sensors (tampering, fire, ect.)  and  sending  of  emergency messages to the control and monitoring centre
  • Recording of statistical data about the quality, time and  results of last 32 communication sessions
  • Programmable scheduling of mobile phone standby mode in order to save energy

GPS features

  • Receiving and periodical recording of the GPS signals with the period  specified by the user
  • Adjusting of the built-in clock/calendar  based on the  GPS signals and sending of the time adjustment signals to the other     nodes  of a light
Short Message Service (SMS) features
  • Sending of the SMS emergency messages to the user-specified mobile phone in case of receiving the emergency signals from the inputs AN4 and/or AN5
  • Responding with SMS messages  describing  the current state   of a light to  received SMS inquiries
  • Execution of commands issued by servicing personnel   in the form of  SMS messages  or forwarding them to other  units  within a light (e.g. switching ON/OFF of  a light at daytime)
  • Sending of the synchronizing SMS messages   to the user-determined mobile phone (a communication controller of another light)
