Kamstrup GSM6i Installation and User Guide

  • Hello! I've reviewed the user guide for the Kamstrup GSM6i module, as well as the Kamstrup 162, 382, and 351 Combi electricity meters, and PLC Concentrator. This document details the installation, operation, and data logging capabilities of the module, including instructions for using SMS commands for remote control and signal testing. I'm ready to answer any questions you might have about these devices and their features.
  • What is the main purpose of the GSM6i module?
    What type of SIM card is required for the GSM6i module?
    Is it necessary to use an external antenna?
    What kind of data can be logged by the GSM6i module?

Quick Guide
1. Performasignaltestbyusingthetestbuttononthemodem.
2. Ifthesignalstrengthisbelow12,anexternalantennamustbeinstalled.
3. Theexternalantennamustbeplacedinapositionthatimprovesthesignal
reception.Movetheantennaarounduntiltheoptimalpositionislocated.
Performseveralsignaltestswhilefindingthebestposition.
4. UseNetmonitororequivalenttoolstohelpfindthebestpositionforthe
externalantenna,ifnecessary.
5. Beforeleavingtheinstallation,testthesignalstrengthbysendinganSMS.
MakesureallcabinetsanddoorsareclosedbeforesendingtheSMS.
Hints
• Alwaysinstallanexternalantennawheninstallinginametalcabinet.The
antennamustbeplacedoutsidethecabinet.
• UsedualbandGSMantennasforoptimalperformance.
• Beawarethatfiredoors,concreteandmetalplatesdisturbandattenuatethe
GSMsignals.
• Specialdirectionalantennascanbeorderedforareaswithverypoorsignal
conditions(contactKamstrupfordetails).
SMS
When placing the meter
in a metal cabinet, make
sure to place the antenna
outside the cabinet.
Make sure to close all
doors and cabinets
before sending the SMS.
Fire door
When placing the meter
below the ground (e.g. in
a basement), make sure
to place the antenna
close to a window or
outside the building.

When the SIM card has been inserted correctly and the holder is closed, the
module will restart automatically.
IftheunitissuppliedwithoutaSIMcard,makesurethatitisinsertedbefore
usingtheunit.
TheSIMcardholderisopenedbypushingthebrightholdertowardstheleft
andcarefullytippinguptheholder.PlacetheSIMcardwiththe“cut-off”corner

IMPORTANT
Toensurethattheexternalantennaismountedinawaythatoptimisesthe
receptionconditions,thesignalindicatoronthemodulemustbefollowed
(seeparagraph2.3onpage8).Turntheexternalantennaarounduntilthebest
