Product Overview
The BT -GPRS-S is a rugged GSM/GPRS wireless data modem
incorporating Research In Motion’s 1902G radio module.
The modem is intended for use with a host platform such as a
computer or remote terminal data unit. The modem exchanges
data between the host platforms using an RS232 serial
connection.

Pin
The BT -GPRS-S is configured as DCE (Data Communications
Equipment) and uses the standard RS232 9-pin designations.
Two RS232 serial ports are available, each with a DB9 female
connector:
MAIN – Port 1: connects to a data terminal such as a
computer, RTU, etc.
AUX – Port 2: intended for field diagnostics and future
consideration.
Both Port 1 and Port 2 support speeds from 9600 bps up to
115.2 kbps.

How to install the data cable
To install the serial data cable between the modem and your
computer, connect the male DB9 end of the cable to the BT GPRS-S and tighten the screws. The other end of the cable
connects to the communications port of the computer.
The maximum length of a standard RS232 cable is 25 feet. If
longer cable runs are required a special low loss cable can be
used.

Antenna Selection and Installation
WARNING – Only approved antennas may be
connected to the modem. To comply to FCC
regulations, only antennas meeting the following
specific ations should be used:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Rated gain of 3dBd
Minimal cable loss of 0.5dB
Dual-band 800 & 1900 MHz
Nominal 50 ohm impedance
Male TNC connector
Coil style cellular whip
Mount designed for a horizontal metal surface of
vehicle.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments
could impair data quality, damage the modem, or
result in the violation of FCC regulations.
Contact Bluetree Wireless Data Inc. for a list of compatible
antennas.
WARNING – "Antenna must not exceed 5.15 dBi. This
device must be used in mobile configurations. The
antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed
to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from
all persons and must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Users and Installers must be provided with antenna
installation instruction and transmitter operating
conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance"
Rev A | Feb 2003, © BlueTree Wireless Data, Inc.
How to install the antenna
The steps involved in connecting the RF antenna are:
1. Determine a suitable location for the antenna. Note the
following when selecting the location:
• The antenna should be mounted at least 20 cm from
occupants or bystanders.
• The separation between the antenna for the BTGPRS-S and other mobile radio antennas should be
as much as is practical. Antennas should never be
mounted within 30cm or one foot of each other.
• For optimal performance and safety, mount the
antenna on the roof instead of the trunk of a vehicle.
• The antenna should have a ground plane of at least
15cm (6") of metal in all directions.
Mount the antenna according to the instructions provided with
it.
2. Thread the antenna cable through the vehicle so that
the TNC connector is available to the BT-GPRS-S.
3. Connect the TNC connector to the BT-GPRS-S. Tighten
firmly by hand. Do not use tools.
Notes:
• Tighten the TNC connector (cable to modem) firmly but
manually; it is preferable not to use tools.
• The length of the cable may affect the signal strength.
Choose appropriate cable type for your installation.

How to install the power cable
Use a 12 volt DC power supply with the BT -GPRS-S. The power
cable connects to the modem with a Molex type connector. The
part number of the connector for the cable is 39-01-2040
(alternative part number 39-01-2045). The part number for the
pins for the cable connector is 39-00-0039.
The modem's power on/off is controlled by the ignition sense
line (white wire). When this line is pulled high (5 to 16 volts),
the modem will power on. The mo dem shuts down when the
ignition sense line is pulled low (less than 2 volts).
Rev A | Feb 2003, © BlueTree Wireless Data, Inc.
How to power-up the modem
The white ignition sense wire of the power harness must be
connected according to how the modem is to be powered on
and off. There options are:
1. The white ignition sense wire can be connected to the
vehicle's ignition such that the modem is powered on
only when the ignition key is switched to 'On'. The
modem is then ON, only when the engine is on.
2. Since the BT -GPRS-S has no on/off switch, the white
ignition sense wire of the power harness must be
connected according to how the modem is to be
powered on and off. The recommendation is that the
ignition sense wire be connected to a switch, rather than
connecting it directly to the red battery wire. It is also
recommended that the battery wire have a 3 amp fuse.
3. The white ignition sense wire can be connected to the
vehicle's ignition such that the modem is powered on
when the ignition is switched to 'Accessories'. The
modem can then be turned on, when the engine is off.
4. The white ignition sense wire can be connected to a
separate switch, mounted under the dashboard, that
allows the modem to be turned on or off, regardless of
the position of the ignition key.
The modem can also be configured, via an internal jumper pin,
so it can automatically turn ON when a DTR signal is applied in
Port 1. When DTR is low, the modem will turn OFF.

Product Activation
Step – 4: Testing the modem
Step – 1: Powering-up the modem
Connect the external antenna to the modem
Connect a power source of 12Vdc @ 1A to the power
terminal – GND to pin 1 and POS to pin 2
To turn ON the modem, apply a 12Vdc to the IGN pin
PWR LED on the modem should light-up in red
For automatic power-up, put a jumper between the
IGN pin and the POS pin
Step – 2: Activating the cellular unit on the network
Contact your wireless service provider/dealer:
a) provide them with the IM EI (Electronic Serial
Number, indicated on the modem’s enclosure),
b) request that they set up an account and provide
a phone number for the unit,
c) if your dealer is not familiar with industrial
cellular modems, you may mention that
provisioning the modem is virtually identical to a
digital cell phone, except that it is a data only
device.
Ask the wireless service provider to provide you with
a SIM card.
You can test the modem by dialing a host computer and
connecting to it: ATDT.
If you get a CONNECT message in the Output window, that
means the modem is ready for operation, otherwise review
steps 1, 2 and 3 or call your supplier.
Product Operation
The BT -GPRS-S supports both GSM circuit-switched data and
GPRS packet switched data for the 850MHz and 1900MHz
bands.
Mobile Terminated Call
Mobile terminated calls are NOT supported.
Mobile Originated Call:
GSM circuit-switched data or GPRS packet-switched data
SMS Mobile Originated/Terminated
Step – 3: Programming the phone number
Provisioning the modem’s phone number is accomplished
using the configuration software BlueVue, available from
the source where you purchased the modem and/or from
BlueTree’s website under the Download section.
Could be used with any type of serial port software
(HyperTerminal).
The BT -GPRS-S modem supports both sending and receiving
Short Message Services.
Refer to the table of AT Commands for detailed operations.
