Quick guide

1 Red the signl strength on the module LEDs (minimum two must be on).

2 If the signl strength is below 2, n externl ntenn must be instlled.

3 The externl ntenn must be plced t  loction tht optimises the reception of the signl.

Chnge the position of the ntenn until the best position hs been found.

4 Before leving the instlltion, you must test the signl strength vi text messge (=STATUS#).

The meter housing nd the doors must be closed before sending the text messge.

1 Tips

• Alwys instll n externl ntenn when instlling the unit in  metl cbinet.

The ntenn must be plced outside the cbinet.

• Use qud-bnd GSM ntenns to optimise the performnce.

• Note tht ﬁre doors s well s concrete nd metl pltes disturb nd weken the GSM signl.

• It is possible to order directionl ntenns for res with very poor signl conditions (plese

contct Kmstrup A/S for further informtion).

If the meter is plced

in  metl cbinet, the

ntenn must be plced

outside the cbinet.

If the meter is plced under

ground level (e.g. in 

bsement), the ntenn must

be plced close to  window or

outside the building.

Mke sure tht ll

cbinets nd doors re

closed before sending

the text messge.

It is vilble in three vrints.

681Gxxxxx is lwys delivered with internl ntenn nd the possibility of externl ntenn using

n dpter PCB. It cnnot be used with dd-on modules.

681Hxxxxx must lwys use n externl ntenn nd it cn be used with dd-on modules.

681Jxxxxx is delivered with n dpter PCB. It cnnot be used with dd-on modules.

• The module supports 4G (GPRS/EDGE/LTE CAT1)

• Integrted solution with mounting in the meter's module re

• Plug-nd-ply instlltion with cler indiction of the signl strength

• Text messge reding of meter nd signl strength

2 Mounting of OMNICON® 4G Modem

OMNICON® 4G Modem is supplied vi the module connector.

2.1 Mounting order

1 Dismount the top cover of the meter.

2 Insert SIM crd (see “SIM crd”, pge 8).

3 Plce the module in the meter's module

re

(plese check tht the eight module pins re

ll plugged in).

4 When ll the green LEDs on the module stop

ﬂshing, the signl strength is red on the

indictor

(see “Signl strength indictor”, pge 7).

5 If the signl strength is not cceptble, n

externl ntenn is mounted. For 681Gxxxx,

this requires tht the internl ntenn is

removed.

(See “Mounting of externl ntenn (to

be ordered seprtely)”, pge 9 nd

“Externl ntenn”, pge 10.

6 Before leving the instlltion, check the

signl strength by sending  text messge

(see “SMS commnds”, pge 11).

If the module does not indicte norml

operting conditions (such s sufﬁcient

signl strength), refer to “Error detection

help”, pge 11.

3 Light-emitting diodes

The LEDs ensure tht the instller is provided with sufﬁcient knowledge to mke  good instlltion

without using externl tools.

Note: All LEDs turn off fter 10 minutes.

They cn be rectivted by pushing the button.

3.2.3 Connected to network nd to meter

The network to which the module is connected ppers from the LEDs t the bottom of the

module. More thn one LED cn be on t  time. Furthermore, the red METER LED ﬂshes if there

is no connection between the meter nd the module. The Dt/GPRS LED is lit if the module is

ssigned n IP ddress.

3.2.4 Signl strength indictor

When the signl strength is less thn 2, n externl ntenn must be mounted. If n externl

ntenn hs lredy been mounted, it should be repositioned to obtin the required signl

strength.

3.2.5 Error indiction

If one of the LEDs ﬂshes, it mens the following:

1 SIM crd protected by PIN code

2 No SIM crd

3 Missing network registrtion

4 Communiction error with modem

Note: All LEDs turn off fter 10 minutes.

They cn be rectivted by pushing the button.

4 SIM crd

4.1 Mounting the SIM crd

The unit cn be ordered with the SIM crd

mounted from the fctory. Check tht the crd

hs been inserted. The telephone number of

the crd ppers from  lbel on the module.

Kmstrup A/S cnnot be held responsible for

theft nd misuse of SIM crds from OMNICON®

2G/4G modem units.

When the SIM crd holder is opened, the

connection to the SIM crd is disrupted.

When the SIM crd hs been inserted

correctly nd the holder is closed, the module

strts utomticlly.

If the unit is supplied without  SIM crd, mke

sure to insert one before using the unit.

The SIM crd holder is opened by pushing the

bright holder bck nd crefully tipping it up.

Then plce the SIM crd with the “cut-off”

corner in the top left side nd with the contcts

fcing the PCB.

4.2 SIM crd requirements

The SIM crd must fulﬁl the following requirements:

DATA/SMS, Mini-SIM (stndrd size)

PIN code must be disbled, no voice nd no prepid crd.

5 Mounting of externl ntenn (to be ordered seprtely)

Externl ntenns with DC resistnce between the inner nd outer conductors of 1 K ohms or less

re detected utomticlly. This pplies to the following ntenns:

66990015 Mini Tringle, 1 m cble, MCX connector

6699448 Mini Tringle, 2.5 m cble, MCX connector

6880013 Mini Tringle, 10 cm cble, SMA connector (cn be extended up to 30 m)

6880014 Directionl ntenn, without cble, with SMA connector (cn be extended up to 30 m)

See more ntenns nd ccessories in the ntenn guide for OMNIA® (doc. no. 5811-2381).

6 Externl ntenn

6.1 OMNICON® 4G Modem with lst gsp

681Gxxxx: The internl 4G ntenn is the top

PCB, which is lifted gently.

It is replced by n dpter PCB for externl

ntenns.

On the dpter PCB, n ntenn connector for

the externl ntenn is plced.

681Hxxxx + 681Jxxxx: Connect the externl

ntenn to the ntenn connector.

Be creful to her  “click” to ensure tht the

two connectors re connected correctly. It is

NOT llowed to use ny tools for mounting the

ntenn connector.

Plce the ntenn cble inside the plstic

frme of the module, nd led the cble out

through the cble chnnel t the bottom of the

electricity meter.

IMPORTANT

To ensure tht the externl ntenn is mounted

in such  wy tht it optimises the reception

conditions, the signl indictor on the module

must be observed (see “Light Emitting Diodes”,

pge 6). Chnge the position of the externl

ntenn until the best position hs been found.
