Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Introduction to the H-2191 and H-2192 Both the H-2191 and H-2192 are modem based communication devices. The main difference is the H-2191 is based on a standard land line connection while the H-2192 uses a cell phone based modem for communications. NOTE: Items discussed in this manual that apply to both the H-2191 and to the H-2192 will be listed as H-219X. Subjects that pertain only to one unit or the other will use the appropriate model number.
Text Message Call In Using The Cell Phone: The H-2192 can also send data in a text message. To receive a text message with the data simply send a text message to the H-2192. The H-2192 will reply to the calling number with the current data. Text Message Call Out (Alarm) Using The Cell Phone: The H-2192 can also send data in a text message based on some alarm condition. When an alarm condition occurs, the H-2192 will send a text message to selected recipients unsolicited. 1.

Chapter 2 Installation 2.1 Pre Installation Before discussing the installation options, a review of the connections and LED operation will be helpful. There are several connections on both ends of the unit. 2.2 Front Panel Connections Figure 2.2 Front Panel Connections 2.2.1 Phone Connection The phone connection is a standard RJ11 connector allowing a simple connection to a phone system. 2.2.2 Cell Phone Antenna Connection The H-2192 uses a built in cell phone that uses this connection for its antenna.
2.3 Back Panel Connections Figure 2.1 H-219X Back Panel Connections 2.3.1 Power Connection The two pins on the right side of the green terminal strip allows for an easy power connection. It is important to use a heavy gauge wire (18 gauge or heavier) for power connections. If the RF radio is also used with this modem then the heavier gauge wire may be required. The power connections are clearly labeled on the instrument housing. 2.3.
2.3.3 RS-232 Connection The RS-232 port is a standard 9 pin D connector. It is configured as a standard type DCE (Data Communication Equipment) device. This will connect directly to the data logger or any other DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) type of device. The pin out is as follows: SERIAL PORT PIN OUT PIN DIRECTION COMMENTS 1 Data Carrier Detect (DCD) Always follows the state of the modem carrier signal. 2 Transmit Data (TD) Transmit from the modem to the connected device.
2.4 LED Descriptions DTR LED: The DTR LED indicates the data logger connected to RS-232 port is active. This LED will be on any time the data logger is sending data to the modem, any time the modem requests data from the data logger, and when a data connection is active. Modem Pwr: On the H-2191, the modem is normally turned off and the unit is in a low power mode. Incoming calls will be detected and wake up the modem. Once the modem is awake the call can be answered.
2.5 Installing the H-219X This chapter will help you to install and connect your H-219X. For proper installation, you will need: ! The H-219X with mounting hardware ! The H-219X Owner’s Manual !

needed. This includes the data / power cable, and antennas. ! On sites using the H-2192 cell phone and an RF radio, install the antennas and cables to prevent the two from interfering with each other. ! Connect the RS-232 cable to the XL series data logger or other equipment. When connected to the XL series data logger a straight through cable should be used, a NULL modem adaptor is not required.
Chapter 3 Operation 3.1 Overview The H-219X is easy to set up and operate, and can be used as a regular data modem as well as a voice modem. The modem uses the standard AT and S register commands, however in most cases they are handled automatically so the user does not need to know anything about them. Options related to the voice mode of the H-219X are programmed using a built in menu or from an extended set of commands. 3.
normally sent to the modem each time the logger scans the different sensors. For example if the logger is set to scan the sensors every 15 minutes, then data is normally sent to the modem every 15 minutes. For more instructions on this feature, please see the corresponding section in the XL Series data logger owner’s manual. The data coming from the data logger will be stored in memory locations referred to as data value boxes within the H-219X. There are ten data value boxes labeled BOX01 to BOX10.
Historical Data 01 Historical Data 01 | | | | | | Historical Data 12 The normal sequence for a data logger to load data into the modem at a normal scheduled update time is as follows: AV AVTIME=HH:MM:SS AVBOX01=12.34 AVBOX02=56.78 AVSHIFTVALUES Send the AV command just to get its attention Send the time to the modem, time is stored in top box in the table.

used the modem will ‘voice’ or say the time the measurement was made, after which it will voice the data in each data box for that measurement time. Pressing '8': This causes the H-2191 to move to the last measurement and ‘voice’ or speak the data measured by the logger at that time. Pressing '9': This causes the H-2191 to move back in time so historical data can be reviewed to look for trends in the data. This is used in conjunction with the ‘7' key.
The Cell phone modem module can be powered up all the time or off all the time. It can be programmed to turn on and off at set times, or based on the level of the battery voltage. The following menu is used to select how the power for the cell module is handled. H-2192 Cell Phone Menu P - Power On/Off: Off Last Time N - Cell Turn F - Cell Turn V - Cell Turn (Manual Off) Update: 00:00:00 On Time: 06:00:00 Off Time: 18:00:00 Off Voltage: 12.
V - Cell Carrier Password: This is a GSM only option and sets the password if required for the GSM provider. Current IP Address: This field shows the current IP address assigned to the modem. If the address listed is 0.0.0.0 then the cell modem isn’t powered or the cell provider hasn’t assigned it an IP address. I - TCP Listen Port Number: This option sets specifies the TCP port number which the modem is going to listen for incoming connections.
3.5 Voice Call Out (ALARM) Over Standard Phone System The H-219X provides the option to alert a user of an alarm condition at the site installation. There are two methods of alarming with the H-219X. The first method of alarming the H-219X is provided with a External Alarm Input located next to the +12V power connection on the modem. This input is pulled high internally to 5 Volts by a 47K resistor and is triggered by pulling the line to 0 Volts (GND).
Pressing '4': This causes the H-2191 globally enable the alarms. Pressing '5': This causes the H-2191 globally disable the alarms. Pressing '6': This causes the H-2191 acknowledge the alarm call out action. Pressing '7': When moving through the historical data, this key causes the H-2191 to move forward in time. This is used in conjunction with the ‘9' key which moves back in time, and the ‘8' key which moves to the current time.
3.8 Text Message Call In The H-2192 can text the last measurement over the cell network. To us this feature simply send a text containing any content to the phone number of the H-2192 and it will respond with the last measurement reported to the modem. 3.9 Text Message Call Out The H-2192 can text an alarm rather than make an outgoing voice call.
P - Power On/Off: This option selects if the cell module is powered on, off or auto. In the auto mode the modem will power up and down automatically based on the turn on time and turn off time settings. I - Radio ID Code: This option is used to select a 1 to 4 digit ID code to use to call the site. Each site must have a unique ID. The default ID code is ‘0'. The H-2191 considers the default ID of ‘0' as invalid forcing the user to set this to a unique ID.
3-14 Operation H-219X
Chapter 4 Modem Command Reference 4.1 Introduction The H-219X uses a modem module that incorporates the standard Hayes AT command set. However the modem module is just one subsection of the H-219X. In most cases the user will never have to change the configuration of this module. The H-219X has much more capability than just a standard data modem.

4.2 General System Commands Command: MENU Description: This command is used to start a simple menu interface to aid the user in configuring the modem. All setup and most diagnostic options are available using the menu interface. In most cases this built in menu will be used to setup and configure the modem. The menu makes it easy to make the changes to the different options and organizes the options in logical menu groups. Example: avmenu This will cause the main menu to be displayed.
4.3 Data Entry Commands Before describing the commands used to load data into the modem for voice options, it is best to understand how the data is stored and moved around in the modem. Currently, there is a 10 by 13 table used to hold the data values. This is basically 10 values wide for the different types of data and 12 values deep for historical data. One extra row of data for non scheduled updates.
Example: avtime=12:15:00 OK If the command is entered without the time portion, then the last time value entered will be returned. Example: avtime Time=12:45:00 Command: BOX01 - BOX10 Description: These commands are used to send data to the modem, or to see the last value entered for the selected data box. In a normal sequence the command AVBOXxx =xx.xx is sent to the modem from the logger. A separate AVBOXxx command is used for each value sent tot he modem.
4.4 General Voice Commands Command: IDMESSAGE Description: This command is used to enter the site id message that will be spoken when the unit is called or when it calls out in a voice mode. The message can be up to 128 characters but keep in mind the longer the message, then the longer it will take to make the call. Example: avidmessage=This is the logan river near first dam OK The command can also be used to see the current message.
4.5 Alarm Call Out Commands Command: ALARMSENABLED Description: This command is a global enable of all alarms. All alarms will be inactive unless the global alarm enable is activated using this command or done through the menu. Command: ALARMSDISABLED Description: This command is used to disable all alarms. All alarms will be ignored until reactivated using the ‘alarmsenabled’ command.
4.6 Modem Commands Command: MODEMON Description: This command is used to turn on power to the modem module. Note that if the measured battery voltage is less than the ‘Modem Low Battery’ setting the modem module will automatically turn off. Command: MODEMOFF Description: This command is used to turn off the modem module power supply. Command: MODEMAUTO Description: This command is used to turn the modem power supply on and off automatically based on the current time.
Description: This is a GSM only command and sets the username if required for the GSM provider. Command: PASSWORD Description: This is a GSM only command and sets the password if required for the GSM provider. Command: PORT Description: This command sets specifies the TCP port number which the modem is going to listen for incoming connections. Note: If you specify port 0 it will disable incoming data connections.
Command: RADIOTURNOFFTIME Description: This command is used to set the radio turn off time. The default is 18:00:00 so the radio would turn off at 6 PM if the radio power mode is set to “Auto”. Example: AVRADIOTURNOFFTIME=16:00:00 If the command is issued without the time option, then the current radio turn off time is returned. Command: RADIOLOWBATT Description: This command is used to set the minimum measured battery voltage level to prevent the radio from automatically turning off.

Chapter 6 Maintenance and Trouble Shooting 6.1 Maintenance Sustained operation of the H-2191 is almost maintenance-free. There is no desiccant or serviceable parts to maintain. It is always best to keep the unit as dry as possible and out of direct sun light. 6.2 Trouble Shooting It is unlikely that this manual will ever contain trouble shooting tips to cover every problem that may be encountered. Feedback from customers is very valuable and greatly aids in the quest for constant product enhancement.
Voice data does not seem to be as expected: 1. The data being sent to the H-2191 is in a different order than what is expected. Check the voice modem setup menu option to ensure the data to be sent to the H-2191 is defined correctly and as expected. 2. The connected device is malfunctioning. The H-2191 just reports what it is given. If errors exist in the data sent to the H-2191, the H-2191 will pass on this data including the errors as it is not able to qualify the data.
