z Reduced power operation CellStat TM
’s already low power consumption can be
reduced 33% for installations providing minimal power, such as solar panels. To
enable reduced power mode enter the following command:
**054 Toggle normal/low power mode
Example- Command: **054
Response: Low power enabled.
Example- Command: **054
Response: Normal power enabled.
Each time the command is entered, the power mode toggles between normal / low power
mode. Visually, this is indicated by a reduced duty cycle of the four (4) ALARM
STATUS LEDs: in low-power mode, the LEDs flash very briefly once a second; in
normal mode the LEDs are mostly ON, but briefly flicker OFF once a second.
In addition to configuring the dialer to operate in low-power mode with this command,
power consumption can be reduced even more by de-energizing an unused local alarm
output.
Example- Command:
**061
Response: The local output is open.
This will reduce current consumption of the dialar by an additional 10 milliamps. Use
this additional option if the local relay output is not being used as a summary alarm
output or to control external equipment.
z Using non-prepaid cellular plans CellStat TM
normally uses prepaid cellular service
from either Cingular or T-Mobile, and is usually ordered from Microtel already
commissioned with a prepaid SIM from one of those carriers. This offers the lowest
operating cost for users, since charges are incurred only when the dialer consumes
minutes or sends/receives SMS text messages. However, if you wish to use the dialer
with a regular post-paid, monthly plan, the prepaid algorithm can be turned OFF
using the following touch-tone command:
