Temperature Measurement Probe Cable
Using the cable adaptor CBA-EZTEMP provides a 1metre plug in cable with temperature probe. This enables the EZTEXT temperature monitor temperature and automatically send notification of high and low user selectable trigger level.

Part Number Description
CBA-EZTEMP2 Temperature sensor cable

Optional External Antenna

Using an external antenna can provide a better signal reception than the on- board antenna. Using Cable adaptor CBA-UFLSMA provides a panel mounted SMAconnector for external antenna connection. To connect, carefully unplug the existing antenna UFL and push on the CBA-UFLSMA UFL connector.

Alternative Antenna
We offer an extensive range of GSM antenna in many shapes and sizes please see our Website or contact our Sales Dept with your requirements and we will try to help.

Using EZTEMPR2 Thermocouple
Attach the Thermocouple cable to the Connector marked “SENSE” This is now ready to use:

Notes:

  1. Temperatures are measured to 1 Decimal point
  2. Temperature Triggers can be set to whole number values only
  3. A hysteresis of –2oC is built into the EZTEXT

Example 1
SET TEMP MAX is set to +30oCAs the actual temperature measured increases, EZTEXT will trigger ‘over Temperature’ at 30.1oC As the actual temperature measured decreases EZTEXT will trigger at 27.9oC

Example 2
SET TEMP MIN is set to +10oC As the actual temperature measured decreases, EZTEXT will trigger ‘under Temperature’ at 9.9oC As the actual temperature measured increases EZTEXT will trigger ‘Good’ at 12.1oC

Using Additional Input / Output Modules

RF-solutions-PRO-EZTEXT26-2-IP-6-OP-Channel-Remote-Control-System-
FIG-7Input and Output modules can be added in any order by connecting with theRibbon cables supplied. On initial Powerup EZTEXT automatically interrogates and configures additional modules. (all LEDS Flash). After approx. 60seconds the LEDs stop flashing to indicate the module is ready to use

Notes:

  1. Any combinations of 725-IP and 725-OP modules can be added, the Maximum is four, 725-IP Modules and four 725-OP modules in the ‘Daisy Chan’ link (8 modules in total)
  2. When using 725-IP / OP modules there are some limitations (compared with the two input and outputs on the ETEXT-DIN)

725-OP Additional 4 Outputs Module

RF-solutions-PRO-EZTEXT26-2-IP-6-OP-Channel-Remote-Control-System-
FIG-8

  • Each 725-OP module must have a different address Link setting to other 725-OP modules (For the application shown address Link 2 is fitted this sets the outputs to be numbers 7-10)
  • Each Relay Changeover contacts Output can only be switched “On” or “Off”.
  • Functions such as time delays cannot be used.
  • A single telephone OPNUM number applies per output

Example : the number allocated to an output board that you would use to send a text message to activate an output

Insert SIM Card

Please note:

  • Insert NANO SIM Card before applying power (standard 3 Volt SIM only).
  • The message memory of the SIM card should be clear before it is fitted.
  • Ensure that the SIM card has not been PIN code protected!
  • Beware of Pay-as-you-go SIM which require regular top-up to remain active.
  • It is recommended to bar Incoming voice calls to the SIM card to avoid error messages being sent back to the user. This can be achieved with the service provider.

The SIM card should be inserted into EZTEXT-DIN before applying power

  • RF Solutions recommends O2 and Vodaphone SIM card and has carried out extensive testing using the SIM cards we have for these two networks.
  • No guarantee can be given for the operation of this product with any network except those that have been tested by RF Solutions.

Connect Inputs/Outputs and Power Connections
The EZTEXT-DIN unit can be powered from 12 to 24Vdc

Error Messages & Factory Reset
There are three error messages

  • NO AUTHORISATION Means that EZTEXT did not accept the password
  • UNRECOGNIZED COMMAND Password correct but the command isincorrect
  • UNRECOGNIZED VARIABLE Password and command OK but the variable data is incorrect

Factory reset:
Hold down the RESET button for approx10 seconds until all LEDs flash, then release. This will reset EZTEXT to factory default settings and restart.

Notes
Figures refer to maximum supply current required with all components idle. Figures refer to peak supply current required with all components operating.In practice internal reservoir capacitance limits the instantaneous peak current to less than 500 mA. Temperature accuracy +/- 0.5 degrees between –10 to +80-degree Centigrade +/- 2.0 degrees between –55 to +110-degree Centigrade The relay contacts in this unit are for functional switching only and must not be used for isolation purposes Hereby, RF Solutions Limited declares that the radio equipment type defined within this document is in compliance with Directive 2014/53/ EU.
