1. GENERAL
1.1.
Product operation
Edor is the new sensor for the remote monitoring of the amount of monitoring in natural gas, used as a
remote survey unit. It can detect three types of odorant: TBM (mercaptan compounds), THT
(tetrahydrothiophene) and EM(EthylMercaptan).
The device can be installed inside odorization plants to check the intake of odorant in gas (gas distribution
stations, or R.E.M.I.), or along the gas distribution network to obtain a constant measurement of the
amount of odorant reaching the users end points (GRF and GRI distribution stations).
The device uses electrochemical sensors, i.e. specific cells for each type of measured odorant. Typically,
the sensor is tested in presence of the gas by opening a low-energy solenoid valve once or up to 4 times a
day. The rate measured is then transmitted to the data centre once a day via SMS. In case a low dosage
of gas is detected in two consecutive measures, the device warns the on-call technician by sending an
SMS to his cell phone number and the central software EdorCentral notifies the alarm on the video screen.
The measurements are transmitted by means of remote communication device (modem) that sends data
directly via SMS (basic version), to the gas network manager, enabling him to constantly monitor and
record the networks odorization state without the assistance of additional staff members who are usually
called to perform this verification activity every now and then.
Connection to the electricity network is not required as the device runs entirely on batteries (basic
version). However versions with solar panel power supplies are available with 230VAC and 12-24VDC.
Due to the softwares temperature compensation function, the device can guarantee accuracy of 15%1.
The temperature is detected through a PT100 probe installed next to the sensor.
With the Sampling System accessory (SS option) it is possible to achieve accuracy of less than 10%1
thanks to periodical self-calibrations with a sample gas cylinder connected to a second solenoid valve.
Without the SS accessory it is however possible to perform periodical manual calibrations (intervention of
an operator with a sample gas cylinder on the unit/station).
The device can be entirely configured directly by the user via SMS in text mode on a cell phone.
Edor Central is an application for PC Windows dedicated to the configuration and the remote-reading of
individual Edor stations. It is multi-user and multi-language software capable of saving the entire log of
the measurements and generating a report that is easily imported via Microsoft Excel for quick
consultation. Through user-friendly input screens, EdorCentral enables users to configure any operation
parameter without requiring knowledge of communication protocols. The softwares only requirement is
the connection to a dedicated GSM modem to receive and send SMS that is connected to a computer. The
proper operation of EdorCentral is guaranteed solely with these types of modem: Siemens TC35i,
Cinterion TC35i, Siemens TC65 (all models with RS232 serial port), and Digicom USB Wave GPRS M,
with USB port.

Warnings
We recommend you install the control unit where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight for long
hours, or alternatively, follow the countermeasures mentioned in the installations notes;
Check that the electrical cabin is free from gas leaks using a gas detector;
Check that the GSM service is available, and install an external antenna if necessary;
Check that the pressure on the gas pipeline is 25-35 mbar by using an interception valve with a
1/4 NPT F connector (the plug must be identified beforehand);
Check that the explosion risk areas have been classified and identified pursuant to local legislation
in order to install the GSM modem in a safe zone;
Check that the 4 holes in the electrical cabin have a diameter of 5 mm to fix the GSM unit and a
hole with a 24 mm diameter for the cables to pass through it.
INSTALLATION NOTES
The start-up and maintenance operations should be performed by qualified staff only;
disconnect the battery before performing any kind of operation on the device;
TBM is extremely prone to oxidation and connects to any surface until it reaches saturation. It is
therefore important you connect the Edor device to the low-absorption methane connection pipe
supplied with the device and perform a quick test. Alternately you may use an AISI 316 stainless
steel pipe with 6 mm diameter for permanent installation;
during the maintenance phase use CPL parts only; the use of parts from other manufacturers will
void the warranty;
follow the instructions regarding wiring and connection to other systems or transducers;
the internal analyser must be protected from dust and rain and from temperatures above 40C:
secure it near the ground, in upright position, at the shaded side of the station/unit. In case of
metal cabs, provide for insulation or protect the outer sides exposed to direct sunlight via reflective
films or insulate the cabin with aluminium panels at a distance of 3 cm from the cabin itself;
the site where the monitoring unit will be installed should be absolutely free from gas leaks or from
any type of gas-related substances (traces of TBM, THT, ammonia or any other polluting
substance). The measurement cell may be damaged by the constant presence of concentrations of
chemical, sulphurous or polluting substances. Check the installation site with gas leak detectors
before installing the device;
loads above 60 Litres/h or excessive pressure may deteriorate the odorant-detection cell;
excessive distances (above 1.5 m) between one monitor unit and the measured point may
negatively influence measurement accuracy;
in the basic version, make sure that the manual calibrating channel is always closed with a stopper
during normal operation to avoid leaks and misleading measurements;
the sensor also produces a signal when it detects substances other than THT; the next page will
provide an non-exhaustive list of some of the substances with their relative measurements. The
same observations apply for the TBM sensor;
complete the EDOR activation module before installation and send it via fax directly to CPL
Concordia, at the following fax number: (+39) 0535-616124;
make sure the device is perfectly calibrated before beginning large-scale measurement campaigns;
Page 8 of 53
V 3.9 of 20/06/2013
if the connectors of the monitor units are disconnected, you will need to wait at least one hour
before performing measurements to allow the sensor to stabilise and 4 hours before performing
calibrations;
the measurement cell is affected by the effects of memory: many consecutive measurements (e.g.
3 measurements in 5 minutes) typically performed during the start-up phase may generate
exceeding measurements. We recommend waiting for at least 20 minutes from one measurement
(or calibration) and another;
the removal of factory tags (seals or labels) results in the expiry of the warranty. In case of a
device under inspection purposes, the device can be sold without a warranty period;
the cell has a warranty period of 6 months only in case all the warnings are followed. With average
concentrations of odorants the warranty expires, in any case, after nearly 1000 measurements
with an exposition time to gas equal to 1 minute each1;
Edor is a merely indicative, non-analytic measurement tool. Errors in measurement are due to the
inaccurate of certification of the sample cylinders, and for the presence of impurities in the gas
(that may interfere with the measurements performed by Edor, but not with a gas
chromatograph). Worth mentioning is the fact that even the gas chromatograph may produce
errors due to the sample cylinder used for the calibration;
The 15%1 accuracy rate refers to the measurement system of Edor, excluding any tolerance of the
calibration sample mixtures.

The device can be programmed and adjusted to the customers needs. This is done using EdorCentral or a
simple text SMS sent to the devices reference number. Controls, with their respective descriptions, are
contained in the EdorCentral chapter. The message is received once every day at the time configured as
the beginning of the measurements.
The machine is operative at the very first start and it uses factory settings, namely 4 measurements per
day, it receives configuration SMS messages and sends a measurement report at 7:00 am. To adjust
EDORs parameters to ones own needs, it is possible to send an SMS to configure the device ID and the
GSM numbers of the data centre and on-call technician. To do so send a message with the following text:
EN00112233;A=XXXXXXXX;D=YYYYYYYYY;E=ZZZZZZZZ;
where:
00112233 is the factory ID; for all configuration operations after the first one, use the last ID sent
XXXXXXXX (max 8 digits) is the new ID
YYYYYYYYY (max 15 digits) is the GSM number of the remote-reading centre
ZZZZZZZZ (max 15 digits) is the GSM number of the on-call technician in case of alarms
Note: basic configuration does not affect the machines hardware functionality. In case of wrong
configuration parameters, repeat the configuration.

The analogue channel 1 (O.R.) has a default scale of 0mg/smc (4mA); 100mg/smc (20mA).
The analogue channel 2 (TEMPERATURE) has as a default scale -50C (4mA); +100C (20mA).
The analogue channel 3 (measurement confirmation completed) indicates that a new measurement had
just terminated: after the measurement, the outlet is taken to the logic value of Uno [One], then, after
20 seconds it is taken to the logical value of Zero. By default, the value corresponding to Zero is equal
to 5mA, while for the Alto [High] logical value it is equal to 15mA.
The configuration of the zero scale, of the full scale and of the level of voltage associated to the third
outlet is possible via a serial console.
Enable the serial console as shown in para. 4.3 Serial Console, and enter the analogue settings in the

Temperature values have an offset of 50: to enter a full scale -50C you must enter the 0 value, to enter
a zero scale of -10C enter the 40 value.
The system automatically exits the menu after two minutes of inactivity.
Outlets are updated every 10 sec in the standby state and only for the 230V version (this activity can be
checked by the blinking LEDs TX and RX on the expansion module). In the 12V version, module
updating is kept to the minimum in order to reduce power (during start-up, outlet tests, parameter
configurations, and measurement).
IMPORTANT! Make sure the serial console is used by qualified staff only. Sending the wrong
commands may seriously compromise the machines operation and void the warranty.

3. MAINTENANCE
3.1.
Calibration has the purpose to increase the accuracy of the device using a sample gas cylinder. This
procedure is described below:
1. make sure the dip switches are positioned as follows: Dip 1 OFF Dip 2 OFF Dip 3 ON Dip 4
OFF;
2. connect the sample cylinder (use factory CPL cylinders only) with a stream set to 40L/h (like the
gas stream blowing under a domestic burner head) to the connector of the manual valve
(positioned next to the measurement solenoid valve connector) then open the manual valve;
3. press button 1 to start the calibration procedure;
4. wait for the DL3 LED to stop blinking signalling that the settling phase is complete;
5. when both the DL3 and DL4 LEDs are blinking simultaneously, open the calibration valve by
turning the upper knob. Gas will be heard leaking from the upper side of the head;
6. when both the DL3 and DL2 LEDs stop blinking, close the manual valve and disconnect the sample
cylinder.
The procedure ends with the sending of a calibration report via SMS (signalled by the blinking DL5 LED)
and all LEDs are switched off.
3.2.
In this configuration the procedure is automatic and periodical (when programmed automatically, based
on the desired settings, it is performed as the first activity of the day during the months of May and
September included) or as the first activity of the afternoon - after 11 am - during all the other months).
However, if necessary, calibration may be performed through the external control unit by following the
procedure below:
1. make sure the dip switches are positioned as follows: Dip 1 OFF Dip 2 OFF Dip 3 ON Dip 4
OFF;
2. connect the sample cylinder (use factory CPL cylinders only) with a stream set to 40L/h (like the
gas stream blowing under a domestic burner head) to the connector of solenoid valve No. 2,
positioned next to the measurement solenoid valve connector;
3. press button 1 to start the calibration procedure.
The procedure is totally automatic. The blinking DL3 LED indicates the stable wait zero phase, while the
successive blinking of both the DL3 and DL2 LEDs indicates that the valve is opened and the actual
calibration is initiated.
The sample cylinder is equipped with a pressure switch to prevent calibrations when the cylinder is empty
that would void the procedure and compromise the sensors efficacy.
The procedure ends with the sending of a calibration report via SMS (signalled by the blinking DL5 LED)
and all LEDs are switched off.
IMPORTANT: the concentration of odorant of the sample cylinder must be the same as the one
configured. In case of doubts, check the system and/or repeat the configurations.

4. USER GUIDE
4.1.
For basic Edor programming via SMS, i.e. to set the ID and the telephone numbers of the centre and the
on-call technician, refer to paragraph 2.4 Quick programming and start-up.
4.2.
Communication type
Edor always communicates via SMS, both for outgoing calls (remote-reading, alarms, reports) and for
incoming calls (programming and remote controls). Typically, communication occurs between the Centre
and Edor, with the only exception for the alarm Sms messages that are sent by the device to the on-call
technician.
However, since sms messages are text messages, it is possible to use a normal cell phone as a Centre to
receive data from Edor and to send the settings, even if the messages are formatted to optimize
communication with the machine and not for an operator.
The following table presents a summary of SMS types:

Edor
For the description of the communication protocol via SMS, for reading and writing parameters, request
the Edor SMS Protocol directly to CPL Concordia.
The ALL-type SMS is the only message sent directly to the on-call operators and signals the alarm of the
HIGH O.R. or LOW O.R. after two consecutive measurements above the high limit or below the low limit.
IMPORTANT! Programming sms should be used by quailed personnel only. The sending of
wrong commands could seriously compromise the machines operation and void the warranty.
4.3.
Serial Console
The serial console is an Edor functionality that enables connection to any serial terminal; it is possible to
use, for instance, Hyperterminal, that is a standard accessory in Windows (it is normally accessed from
Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Communications).
If your PC does not have a physical RS232 port, you can use a "USB-RS232" converter. The model tested
and approved by CPL, which ensures the proper functioning of the system, is the "Digitus USB 2.0 to
Serial"; different models may not work properly.
IMPORTANT! The serial console must be used by specialized staff only. The sending of wrong
commands may seriously compromise the machines operation and void the warranty.
To connect the device, set the PC serial
terminal to 9600 baud, parity N, 8 bit of
data, 1 stop bit (9600-N-8-1);
then proceed as follows:
1. remove the lid of the monitoring unit
and identify the DB9 connector (9 pole
board) on the PCB;
2. position the dip-switches found on the
printed circuit board as shown: Dip 3
OFF Dip 4 ON
3. connect the Edor to the PC using a
standard serial uncrossed cable: one
end of the cable should be connected to
the RS-232 port of the computer while
the other end is connected to the DB
connecter previously identified on the
Edor;
4. check that the Edor is switched on and
correctly initiated; see para .2.6
Diagnostics;
5. press one of the two buttons on the PCB
next to the battery connector.
Page 28 of 53
V 3.9 of 20/06/2013
Alternatively, if the kit for external RS232 interface is present (para. 2.12 Version with external RS232
interface), configure the serial terminal on the PC and proceed as follows:
1. Connect the female DB9 connector of the PC interface cable to the COM port on the PC
2. Open the cap of the military connector of the internal bar hold
3. Connect the PC interface cable to the internal bar hold
4. The console appears on the terminal after a time ranging between two and four minutes
Now the menu of the serial console appears in the Reception window of the serial terminal. The values in
square brackets next to some commands are the values currently saved.
i Id Edor : it sets the devices univocal ID code;
_ SN Edor : the control units serial number (reserved);
S Sensor SN: it sets the serial number of the cell installed on the unit;
W Edor Name: it sets an univocal string on the Edor. This string is displayed in the alarm messages;
d Date/time: it sets the current date and time; Edor saves this setting even when it is not used for a
period of up to 36 hours;
M Modbus address: it sets the devices modbus address
y Settings: Edors advanced settings (restricted to specialized technicians only). The improper use of this
command may seriously compromise the devices functionality;
r Reset default : with this command, the type of reset is requested. It is possible to reset configuration
parameters, calibration parameters, or both; they will be replaced by default parameters. This command
is conceived to be used only in emergency conditions and must be followed by a reprogramming
procedure of the Edor unit;
c Cell : only in the GSM versions. It sets the cell phone number of the centre (data number) or o the oncall operator (alarm number). Entering OFF will inhibit the related calls. We recommend setting the data
number to OFF;
h Log start: this sets the date and time of the first measurement of the 4 daily measurements (7:00
am);
l Log period: this sets the minutes that elapse between one measurement and the other; the standard
setting is set to 360 minutes (6 hours);
w OR alarm thresh: this sets the high and low thresholds for the odorization rate, when these
thresholds are exceeded the device sends and alarm to the on-call operator (if the relative contact
number is set);
s Sens.calib: to access the submenu of the calibration sensor; the submenu enables different calibration
modes. This function must be used by highly specialized staff only;
b Batt.calib: to access the calibration menu of the sensor of the battery level. This function must be
used by highly specialized staff only;
t PT100 calib: to access the calibration submenu for the PT100 temperature sensor. This function must
be used by highly specialized staff only;
a Autocal: to instantly activate the self-calibration procedure; the value indicated between square
brackets indicates whether the current settings enable the command or not;
k Autoc.period: to specify how many days must elapse between one self-calibration and the next (the
Sampling System is required);
j Ref.cyl.OR. : to set the nominal O.R. setting of the sample gas cylinder used for the local selfcalibration;
f Free-run (EV0 OFF) : this activates the continuous monitoring unit of the sensors on board the Edor,
WITHOUT opening a solenoid valve (i.e. the sensor that is not in the presence of gas); the displayed
values are O.R. (pure and compensated in temperature on the THT version), the power generated by the
Page 29 of 53
V 3.9 of 20/06/2013
sensor, the temperature and life of sampling battery. The monitoring continues until the user presses the
<Send> button;
g Free-run (EV0 ON) : the same as above, except that the gas sampling valve is opened;
e Free-run (EV1 ON) : the same as above, except that the Sampling System solenoid valve is opened;
m Measure: this activates the network sampling procedure on the network; the system performs a
measurement as if it were in normal operation mode;
n Measure + sms : available on GSM versions only. The same as previous point, except that the end of
the procudure is followed by measurement sms (Type B, see also para. 4.2 Communication Type);
N Cyl.meas+sms: the same as the previous point, but the measurement must be carried out on the
sample gas cylinder. In the models without GSM, measurement is not followed by an SMS;
p Sms di report : available only with the GSM versions. It sends a report via SMS. It is possible to
choose whether to send a configuration sms (type C) or calibration sms (type D); for further information
read para. 4.2 Communication Type;
q Logs : it displays the events log; then Edors measurement log, with related reset dates; the first log
contains 200 events, the second contains 248 measurements. Each data contained in the log is connected
to its corresponding date;
o Reset logs : it resets the events log and the measurements log;
Q Sensor&Batt.counter: it displays the counters of the sensor and battery life;
O Reset sens.counter: it resets the life counter of the installed cell;
T Reset batt.counter. : it resets the life counter of the installed battery;
v Filed GSM : available only in the GSM versions. It activates the GSM signal detection procedure
(particularly useful to exactly check the strength of the signal received by the device); in the first phase
the modem is switched on and registration is checked; then the signal is shown at regular intervals;
X Exit : it closes the serial console and returns Edor to normal operation; it is required when you need to
perform a reset of the measurement performed during the current day before disabling the serial console
(if the external RS232 interface kit is present, and no other operations should be performed, disconnect
after removing the PC interface cable from the internal bar hold and tighten the stopper );
Z Reset & Exit: it closes the serial console with a machine reset; all measurements are suspended until
the time of the next log (if the external RS232 interface kit is present, and no other operations should be
performed, disconnect after removing the PC interface cable from the internal bar hold and tighten the
stopper);
! BLoader : it resets the Edor from the Bootloader level;
C Call : available only with the GSM versions. It can programme the call to the data centre; the command
requires the entering of date, time and contact number of the data centre (it is therefore possible to
specify a different number other than the ones normally used for the remote-reading). This command is
normally used to enable communication between Edor and CPLs technical assistance office;
D GSM Direct : available only with the GSM versions. It enables to launch a direct connection with the
GSM modem on board the device; in this way you can communicate with the modem using the normal AT
commands;
I Test EXT input : it enables to test the external wakeup input using the external RS232 interfacing
cable (para 2.12 Version with external RS232 interface cable);
B Stability: stability field, in bit, for the measurement period. A value that is excessively low may
produce an O.R. below the actual figures, a value which is too high may produce longer measurement
times thereby shortening battery life;
A SetOutANA : available only with models featuring analogue outlets. It enables the input in the setting
environment of the full scale O.R. and Temeprature outlets (mg/ smc or C associated to the
minimum (4mA) and maximum (20mA) outlets) , and settings of the Zero and Uno of the outlet and
Conformation measurement completed (mA required for Zero and Uno levels at output) (para. 2.10
Version with 4-20mA analogue outlets);
Page 30 of 53
V 3.9 of 20/06/2013
E TestOutANA : available only in the models with analogue outlets. It sets the three analogue ports to
the 12mA value. When the user exits the screen, it resets the three outlets to the previous value.
There are five methods to access the remote console via GSM:
1. Dip4 ON+Dip3 ON+Button (a call is sent to the number saved in the settings)
2. Dip4 ON+Dip3 OFF+Command C from console (to set the time to call the number saved in the
settings)
3. Dip4 OFF+Dip3 OFF+Command C from console (to set the time to call the number saved in the
settings)
4. Dip4 OFF+Dip3 OFF+sms (the calling time is set together with the number to call)
5. Dip4 OFF+Dip3 OFF+riception data call (in the 230V version, the modem is kept active during the
standby status: when in this state, the Edor unit receives a data call, the console can be accessed be
entering a password (para. 4.6 Direct GSM connection via SMS)
By default the number is set to Cpls number (EdorCentral, +393351215406)
4.4.
You can change the date of an Edor unit, with firmware releases higher than 150, by sending an SMS
having the following format;
EN<ID 8 digits>;O=<sign><number of seconds>;
example to set the time back to 1 hour: EN00020113;O=-3600;
IMPORTANT! Make sure the serial console is used by qualified staff only. Sending the wrong
commands may seriously compromise the machines operation and void the warranty.
4.5.
The RTU modbus protocol is available exclusively in the Edor version with external power supply (DC/DC),
RS485 without modem.
This functionality enables to read, via local serial mode, the values of the last O.R. measured and the
current configurations, besides changing the main operation parameters and request for measurements
and/or calibrations. This reading function is also used to have the diagnostics and the temperature of the
latest measurements performed, in addition to the gain value of the cell (indication of the life of the
sesnor).
Edor is a modbus slave device, i.e. it is always attending a query, the maximum frequency of queries is
10 per seconds.
The implemented functions are:
Reading of multiple logs: modbus 0x03 function
Writing of multiple logs: modbus 0x10 function
Page 31 of 53
V 3.9 of 20/06/2013
With the 0x03 function you can read, through a single query, all the data regarding the latest
measurements and the current configurations. The 0x03 function enables a maximum number of 125
registries (more than actually needed) with a single query.
With the 0x10 function, you can reconfigure the equipment and request for extemporary measurements
and/or calibrations with one single query.
To change only one parameter, in the writing case, it is necessary to set all the registries not interested in
the NULL value (0xFFFF) and the parameter you wish to change to a valid value.
Note
Electricity and/or gas calibration parameters are available exclusively from the local serial menu. In fact,
calibration cannot be made without the presence of an operator because additional tools are required.

Because the system is battery-powered, it is necessary to enable Edor to send a call via SMS, indicating
the telephone number to use and the appointment hour. The Edor unit receives the SMS sent the day
after, immediately before the measurement that occurs at the time of the Log Start (by default this time
is set to 7:00 am) and will configure itself for the call.
The SMS to be sent has the following format: EN<ID 8 digits>;C=yyyymmddhhnnss;<cell phone
number>;
example: EN00112233;C=20070329121000;+393355710485;
this message tells Edor to call 335 5710485 at 12:10:00 on 29 March 2007.
After receiving the message, the Edor unit will send a confirmation SMS to the centre. Once it has
checked that the message is received, you must wait for the Edor call.
Page 34 of 53
V 3.9 of 20/06/2013
After receiving the call (and therefore after seeing the RING on hyperterminal/terminal), send the ATA
command (send). After the CONNECT 9600 string, Edor waits for the BOOT command (for firmware
updates with hyperterminl) or MENU (for the remote console with the terminal).
To send the SMS, press AT+CMGS=<number> followed by enter; the > character appears, then digit the
message text (or use the macro) and press CTRL+Z.
In Edor 230V you will not need to send an SMS. This version, in fact, is equipped with a modem that is
active even when Edor is in standby mode (it is switched off only during measurements and free-runs).
You can therefore send a data call directly to Edor using ATDT <Edor number> from your own modem.
The reception of the PW? string means that the connection with Edor has been completed successfully.
Digit the password (not followed by ENTER) to access the menu, or to update the firmware with
hyperterminal as required.

5. EDOR CENTRAL
5.1.
Functionality
EdorCentral is the Windows application that allows full management of Edor peripherals, both for remotereading and also for the local and remote programming of the device. Remote-reading and remoteprogramming require a GSM modem connected to the serial port of the computer.
The software, designed to guarantee maximum ease of use is made up of an integrated environment
which collects all the information on the peripherals installed in the main window. From this main window,
with a single click of the mouse, the applications various functions, as listed below, can be accessed:
State of network and alarms: this allows the list of peripherals to be viewed, characterized by
ID, peripheral name, most recent odorization remote-reading with relevant diagnostics and date of
reading. In the network display, immediately visible are the peripherals for alarm, pre-alarm or
lack of communication.
Peripheral details: the registry and technical details of the peripheral can be displayed;
moreover, there are also the full data of the periodical remote-readings and the configuration and
calibration reports.
Periodical remote-readings: every day the peripheral sends the centre an SMS containing the
data of the daily sampling, plus some status information. Among the remote-read data, the O.R.
(odorization rate) assumes special significance and the relevant diagnosis, gas temperature and
measurement of the GSM signal.
Reporting: all the personal, technical and measurement data can be exported in text format and
converted directly into Microsoft Excel worksheets. Various types of report are available.
Serial console: by connecting an Edor to the computers serial port, it is possible to have access
to the instrument console: this is an application loaded on the device, which allows all its settings
and functionalities to be checked.
Sending controls by SMS: it is possible to send SMS to the peripherals to modify their
configuration, to compel parameter reports to be sent and to compel self-calibration. The
peripheral receives the control SMS once a day at the same time as the SMS of daily sampling
data.
Permission for access and multi-use: access to the application is subject to a login procedure
(request for username and password), by which the current user is recognized, with whom a
personalized configuration and a series of licences are associated.
Events log: all the events of the system are memorized in the application database and can be
consulted at any time, in a selective manner.
5.2.
System requirements
EdorCentral is an application designed for the .NET platform, so it is necessary that this framework is
installed on the PC. A copy of the framework is found on the installation CD, and can be installed at the
same time as effecting installation. Remember that the .NET framework works only on the operating
systems Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows XP and later versions.
EdorCentral store the data into a SQL database, so it is necessary that SQL Server 2008 R2 or higher is
installed on the PC. Alternatively you can install SQL Server on a different server accessible from the PC.
If EdorCentral is the only application that requires a SQL database you can install an Express version, it
does not involve the purchase of additional licenses (because the database is below the limit of 4 GB).
5.3.
Page 38 of 53
V 3.9 of 20/06/2013
Installing EdorCentral is very easy: it is enough to insert the installation CD and launch the SETUP.EXE
application. The application will act to copy all the files necessary for the software to function on to the
hard disk in the folder Programmi/CplConcordia/EdorXXX (XXX is the version).
Once the application has been installed, it is launched by clicking on the icon
automatically created on the desktop. EdorCentral will display a login window (request for
username and password); the default user is admin and the relative password is admin.
It is recommended that a new administrator user is added as soon as possible and then
to remove the admin user. See the paragraphs Login and user management for
further information.
5.4.
Login
5.5.
User management
EdorCentral adjusts its behaviour and its configuration
according to the user connected. The configuration set up by
each user is memorized independently and is recharged each
and every time the user performs the login procedure (see
previous paragraph).
As far, however, as the accessible or inaccessible functions
are concerned, the mechanism used is slightly different.
Each user is associated to a category, characterized by an
increasing level of access. The categories are three: user,
technician, and administrator.
The user can only view the remotely read data and prepare
reports. He or she can in no way enter, modify or remove
peripherals from the archives. The user cannot program the
devices either locally or remotely. Obviously he or she cannot
perform any action on the applications user management
area.
In addition to the users permits, the technician can work on
the peripheral registry, making entries, changes and
Page 39 of 53
V 3.9 of 20/06/2013
deletions. He is also qualified to program the devices both locally and remotely. The only function not
accessible to the technician is user management, which is a prerogative of the administrator.
The administrator has full access to the functionality of EdorCentral. The only operation not permitted is
the removal of his own user profile; this is to ensure that there is always at least one user with
administrator access.
On the User management window, which is accessible solely to administrators, it is possible to perform
normal registry operations. By clicking on the button Nuovo [New] the window Nuovo utente [New user]
is enabled.
The details required for a new user are the username, which
must be made up only of alphanumeric characters (numbers
or letters), the level of access and the password, which must
be keyed in twice as confirmation.
Once a username has been entered, it is not possible to
change it later; it will be necessary to delete the user and
create a new one with the same level of access.
The window Modifica utente [Change user] is very similar to
that of the insertion one, except for two details: the insertion
slot for the user name is inhibited and in the event that the
password is changed, insertion of the current password is
required.
When a user is deleted, the events saved in the name of this
user are kept; see in this respect, para. 5.11 Events log.
5.6.
Application configuration
The configuration parameters of the application are collected in this window. The window can be called up
by the user at any time or opens automatically the first time a user launches EdorCentral.
In the box on the right are collected the
communication parameters with the GSM
modem: modem type, the serial port to
which the modem is connected, the baud
rate, data bits, parity and stop bits. More
advanced settings, such as handshaking
and error controls, inasmuch as they are
superfluous in this type of application,
are not taken into consideration. The
most widespread configuration is the one
given in the figure, i.e. 9600-8-N-1.
The selection box Lavora in modalit
disconnessa [Work in disconnected
mode] ensures that the application
releases the serial port control after it
has been used; this allows other
applications designed with the same logic
to function at the same time as
EdorCentral.
The options contained in the box on the right are the setting of the serial port to be used for local
programming of the, the signal threshold of the alarms (allowing differentiation between pre-alarm and
alarm peripherals) and the language selection box.
For correct functioning, use a Siemens TC35i or Cinterion TC35i or Siemens TC65 modem with RS232
port, or Digicom USB Wave GPRS M modem.
5.7.
Page 40 of 53
V 3.9 of 20/06/2013
For the only types of modems that have RS232 connection ("Siemens TC35", "Cinterion TC35i", and
"Siemens TC65"), no action is required prior to installation / configuration: at the startup the program,
automatically sends the AT commands required for proper initialization of the modem. It is therefore
enough to verify that, in the main window of the program, the receiving indicator is green.
If your PC does not have a physical RS232 port, you can use a "USB-RS232" converter. The model tested
and approved by CPL, which ensures the proper functioning of the system, is the "Digitus USB 2.0 to
Serial"; different models may not work properly.
5.8.
Only for the modem type "Digicom USB Wave GPRS M", you must perform a series of preliminary
operations prior to use it with EdorCentral.
Install the driver and the program to access to the Internet via the modem. Do not plug the modem into
the USB socket until the installer does not ask.
You can find the driver for Windows XP and lower operating system on the CD into the folder
driver_modem_digicom_usb\Win-XP, while for Windows 7 and higher, the driver is into the folder
driver_modem_digicom_usb\Win-7. Both folders are in the main directory of the CD.
At the end of the procedure the new device will be added into the modem section.
To set the serial port right click on "EDGE Modem", select "Properties", navigate to the tab "Advanced"
and finally press the "Advanced Port Settings ...".
Page 41 of 53
V 3.9 of 20/06/2013
Now open a terminal serial communication program (eg Hyperterminal for Windows XP) and set the serial
port just selected with the following parameters: 460800-8-N-1.
Send the command AT+IPR = 9600 to set the baud rate to 9600 bps. At this point, the modem will not
respond to AT commands, you must change the settings of the serial: 9600-8-N-1.
At the startup, the program automatically sends the AT commands required for proper initialization of the
modem. It is therefore enough to verify that, in the main window of the program, the receiving indicator
is green.

NOTE: some of the control buttons shown in the figure above could be hidden if the user is not logged as an
administrator.
Control buttons are grouped by functionality: some buttons control the master data of peripherals (New,
Modify, Remove, Update), Edor service buttons (Reports, Console, Controls), the systems buttons (Users,
Events log, Configuration) and the buttons regarding the applications general operation (In background,
Exit).
The Ricezione [Reception] button is positioned away from the rest of the tabs: it is used to allow the
modem connected to the PC to enable or disable an SMS. When this button is in the OFF position, the
reception indicator light is turned off, whereas when the button is in the ON position, the reception
indicator flickers at regular intervals to indicate that the system is connected to the modem (for
Page 42 of 53
V 3.9 of 20/06/2013
configuration problems, SIM card, GSM registration or other hardware failures): in this case the reception
light indicator is a red fixed light.
The In background button is used to run the application in background mode: the EdorCentral window
closes and a tray-bar icon (see figure) appears; click on the icon to open the programme again and start
normal operation mode.
The Exit button closes the application.
The buttons with the suspension dots () open the window regarding the corresponding function; for
further descriptions of these functions, refer to the related paragraphs.
In the PERIPHERAL window you will find the information for all the peripheral units installed on the
device with relative ID, description, company, installation location and the SIM telephone number entered
in the peripheral device; this page also contains the data regarding the latest measurement, i.e. the
measured T.O., diagnostics and reading date.
The peripheral units are sorted by status, marked by the coloured indicator next to the ID: at top of the
list there are the peripherals affected by an alarm, then there are the ones in pre-alarm and finally there
are the peripherals in normal mode. If the icon is blue, this means that the day of the last reading is
before the current date.
If the icon is green the device does not have any active alarms (NORMAL OPERATION).
A yellow icon indicates that the device measured an odorant rate above or below the alarm threshold
previously configured, but serious anomalies are not present (PRE-ALARM).
A red icon means that the device measured an odorant rate above or below the alarm threshold
previously configured for a number of times above the one set in the configuration window (item Alarm
after errors). The red icon can also mean that the battery is low or that there may be a communication
problem with the measurement sensor (ALARM).
The REMOTE-READING window at the bottom of the page contains the remote-reading data regarding
the peripheral unit selected from the upper list. Data are sorted by decreasing date, that is to say, from
the last measurement carried out until the date specified with the initial date selector. Data are divided
into three screens:
Measurements this page lists all the measurement data sent by the Editor units on site; some of
the most important one include O.R.* (odorization rate), Temp (temperature), Batt (battery voltage),
Diag (diagnostics) and Qy (gsm signal strength on a scale of 0-31).
Page 43 of 53
V 3.9 of 20/06/2013
Scheda Report Calibrazione [Calibration Report Page] this page contains all the calibration
reports sent by the Edor units in automatic mode, or following a request made by the Centre or the
onsite technician.
Scheda Report Configurazione [Configuration Report Page] this page contains all the
configuration reports sent by the Edor units following a request by the Centre or an onsite technician.
Page 44 of 53
V 3.9 of 20/06/2013
The fields displayed in this dialog box include the peripherals ID code, description, location and company
where the device is or will be installed. The last field contains the number of the SIM card installed on the
Edor unit.
The ID must be the same as the one assigned to the peripheral by the installer or during the
programming phase. The ID may contain only alphanumerical characters (numbers or letters); the
maximum length is 8 characters. This code is univocal and cannot be assigned to more than one
peripheral.

Frequenza di log [Log frequency]: the sampling interval frequency by the Edor expressed in minutes,
typically set to 360; we recommend you do NOT change this parameter;
Soglia bassa/alta T.O. [High/Low O.R. threshold]: the alarm thresholds set by the Edor unit triggering
a SMS to the on-call operator.
CALIBRATION parameters
Sensibilit
manuale
[Manual
sensitivity]: this parameter enables
you to overwrite the devices manual
setting; basically it is used to
completely
reset
sensitivity.
We
recommend you use this parameter
only under critical circumstances. For
the TBM sensor multiply the value by
10;
Page 48 of 53
V 3.9 of 20/06/2013
Sensibilit [Sensitivity]: this is the electrochemical sensors sensitivity, expressed in nA/mg. For the
TBM sensor multiply the value by 10;
Periodo di autocalibrazione [Self-calibration period]: the number of days elapsing between one
calibration event and the next (Edor must be equipped with a Sampling System);
T.O. gas campione [Gas sample O.R.]: the nominal rate of the Sampling System cylinder multiplied by
10.
REMOTE-CONTROLS
Richiesta
report
configurazione/calibrazione
[request
configuration/Calibration report]: this
control forces the Edor unit to send a configuration/calibration SMS; the operation occurs only after
the daily measurement SMS is sent;
Richiedi ultimi 5 giorni di misure [request last 5 days of measurements]: this control forces the Edor
system to send the measurement data of the last 5 days (this function must be enabled at Edor
hardware level).
ATTENTION!
Default configuration and calibration parameters can be reset only to reboot the
machine after a failure or a critical situation; after resetting the machine, it
should be programmed and calibrated again (to be performed on site).
ADVANCED SETTINGS
Abilita sms assistenza [Enable assistance SMS]: this function enables the sending of a supervisory
SMS to the CPL assistance centre for a closer analysis of the problems at the installation site;
Abilita auto calibrazione [Enable self-calibration]: this notifies the Edor unit that a Sampling System is
installed and that the device enables periodical self-calibration procedures and self-calibration via
remote-control SMS;
Elettrovalvole a basso consumo [Low-energy solenoid valves]: this setting tells the Edor unit the type
of solenoid valve installed on the machine;
Batteria [Battery]: it tells the Edor unit the type of battery installed.
Page 49 of 53
V 3.9 of 20/06/2013
We recommend you enable the advanced settings only if strictly necessary and
in any case under close supervision of the manufactures assistance centre or of
specialised staff.
DIRECT CONNECTION
This screen lets you arrange an appointment for a direct connection to the device.
You can set the date and time at which you wish to be called and the phone number associated to your
modem.
The viewing of the events depends on the type of user accessing the screen: users with administrator
privileges can view all the events in the log and filter events by user. Users with lower privilege levels
(technician or user) can see only the events generated by the system and their own events; they cannot
see the events generated by other users.
