Additional Info

The InduBox PSTN III modem is especially conceived for 'heavy' industrial environments: the modem is tested and approved according to the TST 25-3 extended immunity requirements in the Belgian electricity market. When testing EN61000-4-3 - electromagnetical compatibility - Laborelec, the official Belgian lab creates a test environment which generates 30 V/m field strengths instead of the standard 'normal' field strength of 10 V/m (CISPR24 level = 10 V/m).
The modem has an integrated 85-264 Vac power supply circuit with a low power consumption (Pidle = 1.8 W / Pmax = 2.0 W).
Built in a double sealable IP51 housing with transparent lid the modem comes with two different and parallel usuable isolated serial interfaces, one RS-232 (3-wire), one RS-485 (3-wire).
An important industrial feature is the long term, configurable watchdog (seperate Atmel microprocessor).
This long term watchdog has 2 possible ways to reset the modem :
1. Configurable and periodical 'hard' reset (each 1 to 68 hours).
2. External 'hard' reset triggered by the '+V'-connection with the meter on pin 1 of RS-232 and/or RS-485 (JP4 and/or 5 on 'Meter' position) : the power supply of the InduBox modem will be disconnected during 20 seconds when a negative slope (5-25V to 0V) is detected on the '+V'-input.
