Please readthis chapter carefully before starting to use the cellular engines FOX3-KMD.2.1. General informationYour FOX3-KMD devices utilize the GSM/GNNS standard for cellular technology. GSM is a newer radio frequency(„RF“) technology than the current FM technology that has been used for radio communications for decades.The GSM standard has been established for use in the European community and elsewhere. Your FOX3-KMD areactually a low power radio transmitter and receiver. They send out and receives radio frequency energy. Whenyou use your modem, the cellular system handling your calls, controls both the radio frequency and the powerlevel of your cellular modem.2.2. Exposure to RF energyThere has been some public concern about possible health effects of using GSM modems. Although research onhealth effects from RF energy has focused for many years on the current RF technology, scientists have begunresearch regarding newer radio technologies, such as GSM. After existing research had been reviewed, and aftercompliance to all applicable safety standards had been tested, it has been concluded that the product is fit foruse.If you are concerned about exposure to RF energy, there are things you can do to minimize exposure. Obviously,limiting the duration of your calls will reduce your exposure to RF energy. In addition, you can reduce RFexposure by operating your cellular modem efficiently by following the guidelines below.2.3. DrivingCheck the laws and regulations on the use of cellular devices in the area where you drive. Always obey them.Also, when using your FOX3-KMD while driving, please pay full attention to driving, pull off the road and parkbefore making or answering a call if driving conditions so require. When applications are prepared for mobileuse, they should fulfil road-safety instructions of the current law!2.4. Electronic devicesMost electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles is shielded from RF energy. However, RFenergy may affect some malfunctioning or improperly shielded electronic equipment.2.5. Vehicle electronic equipmentCheck your vehicle manufacturer’s representative to determine if any on board electronic equipment isadequately shielded from RF energy. 2.6. Medical electronic equipmentConsult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to determineif they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.Turn your FOX3-KMD devices OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in the area instruct you todo so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using RF monitoring equipment.This confidential document is a property of FALCOM GmbH and may not be copied or circulated without previous permission.Page 6 of 23

FOX3-KMD HARDWARE MANUAL VERSION 1.0.16.1.1.2. How to use I/O1 (pin 4) This pin has dual functions. It is controlled by the internal firmware of FOX3-KMD. Therefore, the user mustdefine whether to use it as analog or digital pin. The configured digital pin can also be used as input or outputwhile the if configured as analog pin it can only be used as input.The command PFAL,IO0.Config controlls its functionality.$PFAL,IO0.Config=AI,2,11 // 0 = I/O1; AI = analog; 2 and 11 = min. and max. voltages for Low and High events$PFAL,IO0.Config=DI,5,10 // 1= I/O2; DI = digital input; 5 and 10 = min. and max. voltages for Low and High eventsIf you want to use this pin as digital, then use one of the following PFAL command to trigger it to high or low:$PFAL,IO4.Set=high //4= I/O1; high = sets output to high$PFAL,IO4.Set=low //4 = I/O1; high = sets output to high$PFAL,IO4.Set=cyclic,2000,1000 //4 = I/O1; cyclic = sets output to high for 2 seconds and low for 1 seconds.The High and Low levels can be set with PFAL command (see above). When the internal firmware detectschanges on the analogue/digital input, then a Falling or Rising edge event is respectively triggered. This eventscan be used to send alarms and messages to the server or via SMS.As analogue input: connection example 1 (for I/O1):When used as analog input, e.g when connected to a temperature sensor (a NTC resistor for instance) use thediagram below. The analog-to-digital converter (ADC) inside the device has an input voltage range from 0 to2.5 V. Figure 3: Connection example 1 when using it as analog input and connected to an NTC (left) or Tachometer generator (right)As digital input: connection example 1 (for I/O1):When used as digital input you can set VIN(LOW) and VIN(HIGH) to any levels within the range from +0 to +32.0VDC.Figure 4: Connection example when using it as digital input.This confidential document is a property of FALCOM GmbH and may not be copied or circulated without previous permission.Page 16 of 23
