30 – 60 seconds to power ON & initiate connection, . ohowever this process can take up to 5 minutes.
Cloud, Browser & Keypad Diagnostics
Reporting path, signal strength & ‘EC-i 4G’ modem reset can be accessed via the ‘EC’ or ‘EC-i’ built in web browser or EliteCloud dashboard within the ‘System’ tab.
Alternatively the ‘EC-LCD’ keypad can report this information as detailed below:
EC-i Reporting Path – Press & hold number 6 (‘ETH’ or ‘4G’ will be displayed. Press ENTER to exit)
Signal Strength – Installer programming – P200E18E
EC-i 4G Modem Reset – Installer Programming – P200E20E
This information can also be accessed within the ‘EC-TOUCH’ ‘Service’ tab (coming soon)
LED Indicator Diagnostics
The ‘Status’, ‘Network’’ & ‘Signal’ LEDs found on board the ‘EC-i 4G’ hardware can be used to
identify the module status as detailed below:
Estimated Data Usage
The EC-i 4G data usage will vary dramatically depending on how regularly the device is communicating with the EliteCloud server &/or central monitoring station.
The examples below are estimates only and are likely to vary from site to site:
Monitoring (Calculated based on polling only with cloud connection OFF) 1 minute polling = 20Mb/month
4 hourly polling = 80Kb/month
EliteCloud APP (No central monitoring)
APP usage estimated at 2 – 3 times per day = 7 – I0Mb/month
EliteCloud Installer Dashboard
There is no data available for this due to the wide variation of use cases for this service.
Cloud Connection Options
If the EC-i 4G is to be used for monitoring purposes only (no APP or dashboard) then it is recommended to turn off the EC-i cloud connection to save data. This is performed at address
P201E4E Turn option 5 ON E (option 5 on = Cloud connection disabled).
