1.1 Summary
1.11.1
The GSM-PRO is a compact remote control and messaging system. All IOs are monitored by SMS and
email and controlled by SMS communication through the GSM network.
The module can be configured with the GSM-PRO PC-software. Each IO can be modified by userdefined parameter names and messages. A selected group of users can be chosen from the
phonebook to control the module, or only receive messages.
GSM-PRO features:
• 4 Digital Outputs (DO), relay CO contact 250V/5A
• 8 Universal Inputs (UI) which can be set by software as:
On each defined input status change (rising or falling flank for digital inputs or reached level for
analog inputs) the module sends a pre- or user-defined message to the selected group of users.
The outputs can be set when a selected user sends a pre- or user-defined SMS to the GSM-PRO.
The GSM-PRO sends a periodical message on user defined times. On power loss the module holds
enough power to send SMS messages to all selected GSM users (NO email). It also sends messages
when coming back from a power reset.

Download the latest GSM-PRO interface software at:
http://www.conta-clip.com/en/service/
On start up the interface software checks if there is a new interface available and, when a module is
connected, a new firmware version is available. To manually check for updates click: Help -> check for
updates.
NOTE: checking for updates requires an internet connection.

2.2 Software installat
2.22.2
As the program needs to install hardware drivers make sure you have administrator rights.
Run the GSM-PRO_setup.exe to install the application. The setup wizard will guide you through the
rest of the setup process.
When starting the interface for the first time it will prompt if you want to keep informed on updates
by email. This function can be repeated in the advanced settings update tab (see 5.1).
After starting the interface set the language by: Edit -> Language. The chosen language is saved and
recalled at start up.

Connect 24VDC to the module and connect a USB cable between the GSM-PRO and a PC USB port.
Wait for the module to start up and run the GSM-PRO interface software.
NOTE: module start up takes about 90 seconds, after connecting to power it takes about 10 seconds
before the first Led activates.
On start up the configuration software searches all available COM ports for an available GSM-PRO.
When found, the software downloads the diagnostic data and prompts to download the settings
from the device. If chosen yes, the user interface will be automatically updated.
If no module was found on start-up, click the connect button in the upper right corner to search for
