Cellular Modem Power Considerations
A few special considerations must be noted about the Cellular Modem Power. The Cellular
Modem Power schedule cannot be changed through Cellular communication. EcoWatch DCP
will not allow you to access many menus because the Cellular communications option is chosen.
For example, you cannot interrogate the 6200 DCP when the Cell Modem Power is off.
The schedule for the Cellular Modem Power can be different from the interrogation schedule. A
good Cellular Modem Power schedule might be something like: 12 hour power interval, 20
minute duration starting at 00:00(midnight). An interrogation schedule from 00:00 to 00:20
could then be used to get the data every night at cheaper phone rates. This would allow a 20
minute window during lunch (12:00) in which to access the system. If you ever do decide to
make a change during the lunch window, be sure to interrogate to get all the data first, as any re-
programming will erase all data stored in the DCP.
The Turn OFF after acquiring data box can be used to conserve power. If this box is checked,
the cellular power will be turned off after a regularly scheduled interrogation.
