26 Startup Before startup, the components required for your application must be connected. The SIM card must be inserted in a deenergized state. The TC35 Terminal is ready for operation when supply voltage is applied and the ignition line is activated. If the recommended plug-in power supply unit is...

27 Startup In its energized state, the GSM module provides the supply voltage (VDD). VDD ensures that the switching regulator remains on, even when its closing condition is lost (i.e. IGT_IN=low). Explanation:VBAT=operating voltage for the GSM moduleVDD=supply voltage from the module Activation of t...

29 Operating states / LED The LEDs display the following operating states of the Terminal: Operating state LED After connecting the plug-in power supply unit On for 2 s POWER DOWN Off – Network search or – no SIM card is inserted or – no PIN is entered (via PC) or – no GSM network is available Flash...

30 Operating states / LED Note: Usually, the network search takes only a fewseconds till the Terminal is registered. If the flashing continues, this means that no SIM card is inserted, no PIN number is entered or no GSM network is available. POWER DOWN Once the operating voltage is applied ( + and G...

31 Operating states / LED Network search (no SIM card, no PIN number, no GSM network) In the network search state, the TC35 Terminal searches for a GSM network. All the components in the GSM Terminal (module) that are not required are shut down in several stages by the energy-saving software. This s...
