GSM Power Socket

Thank you for purchasing the GSM Power Socket .

GSM Power Socket is a remote controlled socket consisting of a GSM
module. The power supply output of the socket can be turned on or off
remotely by the SMS (Short Message System) command or local
controlled by pressing button. It is an intelligent power supply socket
controlled by users’ mobile phone at anytime and anywhere.

GSM Power Socket is suitable for controlling electrical appliances which
power consumption less than 3000W in household or office. It is
universal for all kinds of indoor power supply sockets.

With extended-connected temperature sensor, GSM power socket can
switch on or off the socket output according to the environment
temperature. It’s available for power control of the heating or
refrigeration plant, to keep the environmental temperature within
presetting range or at a fixed temperature value. Furthermore, a SMS
notification will be sent to master’s mobile phone if GSM Power Socket
detects the rapid-changing or the reaching of pre-set alert value of
surroundings temperature.

GSM Power Socket is mainly applied for house and office usage. It is
not suited for industry application, especially in humidity or dust
condition.

All services and functions need to be supported by the GSM network
and a SIM card.

This brochure suits for GSM Power Socket model.

Details of the functioning and advanced operation of this socket are
described in this instruction manual.
