PHANTOM HARDWARE DESCRIPTION VERSION 0.01 1 SECURITY IMPORTANT FOR THE EFFICIENT AND SAFE OPERATION OF YOUR GSM-MODEM, READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USE! Your cellular engine Phantom is one of the most exciting and innovative electronic products ever developed. With it you can stay in contact with your office, your home, emergency services and others, wherever service is provided. This chapter contains important information for the safe and reliable use of the Phantom unit.
PHANTOM HARDWARE DESCRIPTION VERSION 0.01 so, use only a manufacturer-approved antenna. Otherwise, have your antenna repaired by a qualified technician. Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments could damage the modem and may contravene local RF emission regulations or invalidate type approval. 1.5 Driving Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular devices in the area where you drive. Always obey them.
PHANTOM HARDWARE DESCRIPTION VERSION 0.01 1.11 Blasting areas To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: „turn off two-way radio“. Construction crew often uses remote control RF devices to set off explosives. 1.12 Potentially explosive atmospheres Turn your PHANTOM device OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your modems or their accessories could generate sparks.
PHANTOM HARDWARE DESCRIPTION VERSION 0.01 2 SAFETY STANDARDS Your GSM/GPS unit complies with all applicable RF safety standards. The embedded GMS/GPS unit meets the safety standards for RF receivers and the standards and recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy established by government bodies and professional organizations, such as directives of the European Community, Directorate General V in matters of radio frequency electromagnetic energy.

On a GPS Evaluation Receiver using SiRFXTrac2 firmware with the supplied antenna, 32 dBHz is equivalent to -142 dBm or -172 dBW. Other board and antenna characteristics will vary. Acquisition Rate: Cold start <45 sec, average Dynamic Conditions: Altitude 18,000 meters (60,000 feet) max. Velocity <515 meters/second (1000 knots) max.
PHANTOM HARDWARE DESCRIPTION VERSION 0.01 4 APPLICATION INTERFACE 4.1 Description of the 8-pin row-connector The power supply for the Phantom unit has to be a single voltage source of VVC+ = +12 VDC. It must be able to provide sufficient current in a transmit mode.
PHANTOM HARDWARE DESCRIPTION VERSION 0.01 4.2 Description of LED indicators After that the Phantom unit is powered up, its actual status is displayed by five LED’s on the front side of the Unit. The IEEE indicator (green), GSM indicator (yellow), Bluetooth indicator (Blue) and GPS indicator (orange) will light during the internal initialization. After initialization the IEEEindicator (green) will be switched off.
PHANTOM HARDWARE DESCRIPTION (Green LED) VERSION 0.01 - - ON (1 second) The system is set in the alarm mode (armed) BLUETOOTH - - (Blue LED) - - MSENS (Red LED) Table 4: Modes of the LED’s and associated functions 4.3 Interfaces for external GSM/GPS antennas The Phanton provides two SMB (male-female)-connectors for external GSM and GPS antennas. External antennas can be used instead of the Phantom’s internal GSM and GPS antennas.
PHANTOM HARDWARE DESCRIPTION VERSION 0.01 4.4 Bi-Directional Keyfob, remote operation The Keyfob gives you remote operation of your security Phantom system. This keyfob operates with the push of one button or button combination. It also gives you direct feedback on its operation with a blinking light as well as with voice prompts, so you can be sure that your security system is operating as you intended. The communication to the Phantom unit is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 wireless network systems.
PHANTOM HARDWARE DESCRIPTION VERSION 0.01 Actions and Reactions of the Keyfob while performing activations Items Actions generated by Key combination Buttons Reaction Possibilities Meaning Short pressing = press the button for less then 2 seconds Long pressing = press the button for longer then 2 seconds while the B1 is pressed the L1 blinks one time, after the B1 is released, each of L1 and L3 blinks one time in sequence and two beep tones are short pressing respectively genereated,.
PHANTOM HARDWARE DESCRIPTION VERSION 0.01 5 FIRST STEPS TO MAKE IT WORKS 5.1 Minimum set-up connection This section describes the minimum hardware connection of Phantom unit to get started. As a minimum, to set-up a connection between your PC and the Phantom, it is necessary to connect the following interfaces to operate the Phantom unit properly. Figure 6: The minimum hardware interface of Phantom to get started. - SIM interface: The Phantom uses a standard SIM card protected within the unit casing.
PHANTOM HARDWARE DESCRIPTION VERSION 0.01 program. Start the application software (HyperTerminal) which can be found in the following directory. Go to Start > Program > Accessories > Communication and click the HyperTerminal program. On the appeared screen assign the name for the current connection (e.g. “Phantom”) and click OK. Then choose the correct COM Port on which the Phantom unit is connected as well as select the baud rate of (57000 bps, 8 bit, no parity bit, 1 stop bit) and click OK.
