SITRANS RD500 MODULE HSPA+ CELLULAR MODEM OPTION CARD
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The option card allows the user to add HSPA+ cellular modem capability
to their SITRANS RD500. HSPA+ is the most prevalent cellular technology in
today's markets. The cellular standard adopted in this option card is HSPA+
with fallback capability to 3G and 2G. It can get speeds up to 21 Mbps
downlink and 5.76 Mbps uplink. It's built upon the GSM standard and widely
availavle throughout the world. HSPA+ can be used for services such as
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) access, Short Message Service (SMS),
and for Internet connectivity. The modem option card is penta-band, allowing
it to work in frequencies across the Americas, Europe and Asia. US and
Canada work in the 850/1900 MHz bands, while Europe, Middle East, Africa
and most of Asia work in the 900/1700/2100 MHz HSPA+ frequencies.
The card requires the addition of a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module)
card, which is inserted into the holder prior to installation of the SITRANS
RD500 card. The SIM card securely stores the service-subscriber key (IMSI)
used to identify a subscriber, and is used to connect to the network to obtain
an IP address from the provider.
The communication card is easily installed by removing the blank
expansion port cover of your SITRANS RD500, and plugging the card into the
expansion port. Configuration is simple using RD500.
SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in
the literature or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety
and to prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it.
If equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do not use the controller to directly command motors, valves, or other
actuators not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful
to persons or equipment in the event of a fault to the controller.

Average:
Power is supplied to the option card from the main board of the SITRANS
RD500.
2. LINK STATUS LEDs:
Link Status - Link Status LED shows cellular link condition.
3. ANTENNA CONNECTOR:
SMA Female connector requires:
50 Ohm antenna with SMA male connector
Penta-band HSPA+ antenna (850/900/1700/1900/2100 MHz) for global
support.
Dual-band (850/1900 MHz) antenna for US and Canada only
Dual band (900/2100 MHz) for Europe only
Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) should not exceed 2.0:1
The antenna cable should be 50 Ω impedance, RG178/U or RG174/U
type and be able to connect to the RSMA (Male) jack bulkhead. The
antenna could be horizontal, vertical or right angled. Longer antenna
cable would equate to signal loss.
This device is intended for connection to an antenna mounted within
the building or a UL certified enclosure suitably rated for application.
