1 OVERVIEW

CMM366A-4G Cloud Monitoring Communication Module is 4G GPRS wireless network

communication protocol switch module which can achieve genset (with SCI) connect to Internet. After
logging into cloud server, module will receive corresponding genset controller communication protocol
from cloud server. And the module gains genset data via RS485 port, USB port, LINK port or RS232 port.
Then the module transmits the data to corresponding cloud server via 4G wireless network for
achieving user’s real-time monitoring to running status and searching of running records via APP (IOS
or Android) and pc terminal devices.
CMM366A-4G module not only can achieve genset monitoring but also can insert some digital
alarm input/output signal to achieve monitoring of generator room entrance guard, guard against theft
and fire facilities.
CMM366A-4G module, which has GPS locate function, can upload gained longitude, latitude and
altitude to corresponding cloud server.

2 PERFORMANCE AND CHARACTERISTICS

 Connect to cloud server via 4G wireless network, one to one monitoring;

 Multiple ports for communication with genset control module: RS485, RS232, LINK and USB (Host);
can monitor great majority genset control modules of international first-class brands;
 Widely power supply: DC (8~35)V, can direct use genset built-in battery;
 With ARM-based 32-bit SCM, high integration of hardware and strong programming ability;
 Include with GPS locate function to achieve gain location information and locate genset;
 Take JSON network data communication protocol, upload real-time data variation and take
compression algorithm to vastly reduce network flow at the same time;
 When alarm occurs it can upload data to server immediately;
 2 auxiliary digital input ports which can receive external alarm signal;
 1 auxiliary relay output ports which can output various of alarm signal;
 Power and multiple communication status indicators on front panel that working status is clear at
a glance;
 Lamp test function;
 Parameter adjust function: users can adjust parameters via USB port;
 Take standard π-type 35mm guide-rail installation or screw-fixed installation that the module can
be installed in the genset control box;
 Modular design, self extinguishing ABS plastic shell, light weight, compact structure with easy
installation.

Internal Lamp test/Reset Key:
Press it for 1s, all the LEDs are illuminated; press it for 10s, reset the module to default and all the
LEDs blink for 3 times.
NOTE: After reset the module, parameters need to be re-configured via PC software. Please operate cautiously.

4.2 GPRS

Connect GPRS antenna to GPRS/4G port.

Antenna: 50Ω/SMA female.

4.3 GPS

GPS enabled, connect GPS antenna to CMM366A-4G.

NOTE: GPS antenna needs to be placed to open outdoors, otherwise location information may not accurate or cannot
be gained.
Antenna: 50Ω/SMA female, active antenna.

Fig.2 – CMM366A-4G Antenna Connection

NOTE: GPRS antenna and GPS antenna cannot be connected reversely.

4.4 SIM INSTALLATION

Insert 4G, 3G or 2G SIM card. CMM366A-4G will connect to servers via wireless mobile network.
NOTE: 4G GPRS wireless network is supported. Use standard SIM card (25mmX15mm); GPS indicator and GPRS
indicator blink in the same time, which means SIM card hasn’t been inserted or bad contacts.
After removing the head cover, the installation steps are as below:
