The CCD 401
The CCD 401 is a wireless gateway (a cellular modem) that is used to collect data from pumping stations. It contains an embedded eSIM for the wireless data transfer. Once the power and antenna is connected, the CCD is ready to use. When the CCD starts, it establishes the connection with Avensor automatically. The user can register the CCD by adding it to the Avensor during the station setup. The user can insert their own 3FF micro-SIM card in the SIM card slot. The 3FF micro-SIM card overrides the embedded eSIM.
The CCD sends your device location and data to the Avensor cloud. The user can see the location in Avensor under Station > Settings > Location. The CCD requires regular software updates, and Avesnor notifies the user whenever an update is available.

Installing the CCD
- Before installing the CCD, record the serial number or take a picture of the serial number of the CCD. After installation, the serial number is not visible.
- The CCD must not be installed over 2 m (6.56 ft) height from the ground.
- Attach the antenna.
- Install the CCD on a DIN rail.
- Follow device-specific instructions to connect a device to the CCD.
[In general, the connection process may include one or more of the following steps:
- Connect the Modbus TCP to the RJ45
- Connect the RS-232 cable from the pump controller to the terminals.
- Connect the RS-485 cable from the pump drive to the terminals.]
