1. SIM card: features and installations
In order to enable the PVI-GSM/GPRS modem to send data collected by the PVI-AEC-EVO, it is necessary to insert into the specific slot a SIM Card with the
following features:
- A contract deal SIM Card
The use of a Pay As You Go SIM Card is strongly discouraged as it may not allow the required services to function with the system. ABB declines
all responsibility in the event of operational problems resulting from the use of SIM Cards failing to meet the criteria listed above and/or relating to
inefficiency of the mobile phone service provider.
- SIM Card enabled for GPRS service
- Machine-to-Machine SIM Card (M2M)
The use of the SIM Card Machine-to-Machine is optional
The PIN Code must be disabled before inserting the SIM Card into the system: this can be done by inserting the SIM Card into any ordinary
mobile telephone.
- Enabled for fax/data traffic and SMS, both incoming and outgoing.
3G SIM Cards are not supported by the PVI-GSM/GPRS expansion module
To insert the SIM Card into the module:
a. Remove the SIM Card holder from its slot by pressing down on the holder release button with a pointed object (screwdriver, pen).

The PVI-GSM/GPRS expansion module is a GSM/GPRS modem specifically developed for the PVI-AEC-EVO monitoring system. Equipped with a suitable
SIM Card, this accessory enables the PVI-AEC-EVO system to connect to the portal management server over a GPRS wireless connection. Connection to the
PVI-AEC-EVO system portal is necessary to allow the system to send email alerts and to publish the data gathered by the monitoring system on an internet
webpage. The PVI-GSM/GPRS module also allows for interaction with the system through SMS, such as the sending of SMS alerts and the opportunity to use
an ordinary mobile phone to request information from the system via SMS. These modem operating features are implemented in the FW of the PVI-AEC-EVO
system, starting from version FW AVR v.0.0.124. Earlier versions of FW do not have this function, so you may need to update your FW as described in the PVI-
AEC-EVO system Quick Installation Guide.
The PVI-GSM/GPRS module should be used as an accessory for the PVI-AEC-EVO system only: other applications are not envisaged and are therefore not
covered under guarantee in case of damage to the unit.

The front panel of the PVI-GSM/GPRS comprises a slot for inserting the SIM Card (not included) and two LEDs which indicate the power supply status and the
status of data transmission.
- LED POWER ON (GREEN): Indicates the electricity supply status of the module.
- LED TX/RX (GREEN): Indicates the sending/receiving activity of modem data.
The 10-way connector for connection to the PVI-AEC-EVO is found on the left side panel. The connector for the antenna is located on the underside panel (the
antenna is included in the package).
b. Insert the SIM card into the holder.

2. Connecting to the PVI-AEC-EVO
The PVI-GSM/GPRS module is connected to the PVI-AEC-
EVO system and supplied by the expansion bus connector.
Please refer to the following image.
The connection and the disconnection of the PVI-
GSM/GPRS module to the PVI-AEC-EVO must
be done ONLY AFTER having disconnected the
PVI-AEC-EVO from the electricity supply.
