 Once AC power is connected, all three LED indicators will blink shortly

and if everything is ok, the Power LED will turn to solid Red.

 In case of active PIN authorization on the SIM card, GSM LED starts

blinking fast (approx. three times per second).

 GSM LED start to blink slowly (approx. every three seconds) Green,

once device was successfully logged into a GSM network. If the LED
blinks about every second, searching of GSM network is in progress.

 The Relay LED indicates state of main switched power contact.

Your IQSD-GSM is now ready to use.

3 Managing IQSD-GSM

This chapter guides you through management commands and features of
IQSD-GSM.

3.1 Managing by SMS

Commands are send in form of SMS messages to call number of SIM card
inserted into your device. Messages have following syntax:

pinCOMMAND (e.g. 3366STATUS)

o With pre-configured security password by command SMSPIN=3366

COMMAND (e.g. STATUS)

o with un-configured security password/SMSPIN

There are two kinds of commands:

Control commands (labeled as Ctrl in tables)

o Used to control of the IQSD-GSM and can be used at any time. Security settings, such

as SMSPIN, permitted callers list, DO apply.

Configuration commands (labeled as Cfg in tables)

o Allows to configure the IQSD-GSM parameters and functions. Their use is limited by time

to 10 minutes after device has been powered on or after last configuration command has
been received. Security settings, such as SMSPIN, permitted callers list, DO NOT apply.
Device can be put into configuration mode using CONFIG command instead of physically
turning it off and on again.

Each command is normally confirmed by a response SMS sent back to the
command sender number. In case of an error is detected in a command,
IQSD-GSM will respond with error message to the sender. Sending response
and error SMS messages can be disabled.

©2009 NETCONS, s.r.o.

Page 9 of 27

Case of commands is ignored; STATUS or sTaTUS is the same command.
All incoming SMS messages longer than 30 characters or messages containing
space and dot characters are being deleted without any error response.

Ctrl

* Commands working with Main switched output cannot be performed during AC power failure.
In such case, response to these commands is Command failed. IQSD-GSM use a bistable relay
for Main switched output so its state remains unchanged during a power failure.

Please ensure a proper code is used for CREDIT command, since entering a
wrong code can cause unexpected problems like change settings of the SIM
card. IQSD-GSM does not send any error response for the CREDIT command.
It is strongly encouraged to verify the code on a regular phone first.

©2009 NETCONS, s.r.o.

Page 10 of 27

If a power failure occurs during TURNON=123/ TURNOFF=123 commands,
time of power failure is not included in the countdown, so e.g. you need to run
an appliance for a hour issuing TURNON=60 command, but AC power is lost
after 30minutes and restored back say after 2hours, appliance will be running
for half an hour after power is restored back.

3.2 Managing by phone call

The Main switched output of IQSD-GSM can be also controlled by dialing the
number of its SIM card. Call is for most commands rejected by IQSD-GSM so its
use is free of charge, with exception for listening sounds using embedded
Microphone.

3.5 Manual Control

IQSD-GSM can be controlled manually using push button located in the bottom
left corner of front panel, see drawing in section 3.1. Operate button using a
suitable narrow tool, e.g. a pen.

 Main Switched output: Short pressing of the push button will switch

state of Main switched output

 Reset to default settings: By pressing of the push button for longer

than 2 seconds but shorter than 5 seconds, all LED indicators start
blinking, when the push button is pressed again during LED blinking,
IQSD-GSM configuration will be set back to factory default values.

 Turn Off: Pressing the push button for time longer than 5 seconds,

while powered by backup battery (AC mains off), will turn the device
off. This is useful e.g. during maintenance or device uninstalling,
where device is still running, powered from backup battery, even AC
mains power is already switched off.

©2009 NETCONS, s.r.o.

Page 12 of 27

Please note commands working with Main switched output, including manual
control using the push button, cannot be performed during AC power failure.
IQSD-GSM use a bistable relay for Main switched output so its state remains
unchanged during a power failure.

3.6 Security features

IQSD-GSM is equipped with advanced authorization features to avoid
controlling by unauthorized users. The security features include:

 Allowing control only from authorized phone numbers
 Authentication of each SMS command by PIN code (SMSPIN)

Both features can be used simultaneously.

In case of using authorized numbers list, device will ignore all SMS messages
and calls received from numbers not included in the permitted phone numbers
list. If this security feature is not enabled, device can be controlled by anyone
who knows number associated with inserted SIM card.

IQSD-GSM allows to define up to 20 permitted phone numbers, each containing
up to 15 numerals.

In case of using SMSPIN, right before each SMS command is placed PIN code
without any space or special character, as shown here:

pinCOMMAND (e.g. 3366STATUS)

Command will be accepted only when entered PIN code matches with the code
predefined by SMSPIN command.

Security settings can be configured and viewed simply by following commands.

3.7 Response messages settings

When you communicate with your IQSD-GSM, it is important to make you sure
if command was understood and executed successfully. For this purpose we
implemented response messages, confirming each command or informing you
when an error is detected. In case of SMS commands, you will be notified by
back SMS response message. In case of managing IQSD-GSM by phone call,
your command will be confirmed by back phone call to your phone number.
Note it is not supposed you will answer such back call, you can simply reject it.

IQSD-GSM is equipped with following inputs:

 Two independent thermometer inputs

NOTE: Commands working with Main switched output cannot be performed

during AC power failure. In such case, response to these commands is
Command failed. A scheduled action is also not executed. IQSD-GSM use a
bistable relay for Main switched output so its state remains unchanged
during a power failure.

IQSD-GSM supports a simple scripting language that allows to create custom
programs, so device will act as event-driven programmable controller.

In order to use scripting language, user must know at least basic knowledge of
algorithmization.

Program is defined in form of row; there can be up to 6 such rows.
A program row can be inserted using ID+ command, and removed using ID-
command.

Each row consists from identification, evaluation conditions part containing
conditions to be evaluated and actions part, each section is separated by
comma.

Evaluation conditions include besides state of IQSD-GSM inputs also a system
variable. Initial value of the variable is set to 0. Value of the variable can be
modified in action part of a row executed previously.

In order to execute actions part of a row, all the conditions in particular row
must be evaluated true. If a condition needs to be skipped/ignored, it can be
simply replaced with a star * symbol.

Program is processed by rows from left to right and from top to bottom. Once
a condition being evaluated is true, evaluation of following condition begins. If
a condition being evaluated is false, rest of row is skipped and evaluation
continues on following row of the program. Last row is followed in a loop by
the first row every second.

Syntax of ID commands is:

IDNr+E_Var,E_Temp1,E_Temp2,E_VoltageIn,DigIn1,DigIn2,A_Alert,A_SetVar,A_Main,SMStext

Where

 IDNr means identification of row with order number Nr in range 1 to 6,
 + sign indicating to add particular row.
 E_Var is a value of system variable, which is being compared with the

current value of the system variable - evaluation is true when both values
are equal.

 E_Temp1 and E_Temp2 means evaluation condition for Temperature Input 1

and 2, each having syntax beginning with condition symbol (< or >) followed
by sign (+ or -) of positive or negative value and by the value itself, having
one or two numerals with one decimal place - AB.C or A.B, zero value must
be entered as 0.0. Some examples:

<+25.5 condition will be true if input temperature is lower than 25.5 °C
>+103.5 condition will be true if input temperature is higher than 103.5 °C
<-3.7 condition will be true if input temperature is lower than -3.7 °C
* evaluation will be ignored, like if it is always true

 E_VoltageIn means evaluation condition for VoltagIn input, having syntax

beginning with condition symbol (< or >) followed by the value in Volts itself.
Some examples:

<5 condition will be true if voltage at the VoltageIn input is lower than 5V
>12 condition will be true if voltage at the VoltageIn input is higher than 12V
* evaluation will be ignored, like if it is always true

 DigIn1 and DigIn2 means evaluation condition for state of Digital Input1

resp. 2 – evaluation is true, when current input state equals to the specified
state. Some examples:

1 condition will be true if particular Digital Input is in logical High state
0 condition will be true if particular Digital Input is in logical Low state
* evaluation will be ignored, like if it is always true

 A_Alert means action to send an alert, possible values are:

S SMS message with SMStext content will be sent to all phone numbers predefined

by ALARM command. SMStext can contain up to 10 characters.

R Ringing of all numbers predefined by ALARM command, for time
predefined by RINGONTIME command.

* Represents no Alert action

In case of ALARMs were not defined, action A_Alert will be ignored.

Page 20 of 27

 A_SetVar means action to set a new value of the system variable.
 A_Main means action with the Main switched output, possible values are:

TURNON Turn on Main switched output
TURNOFF Turn off Main switched output
RESTART Change (negate) status of Main switched output for time preconfigured by

command RESTARTTIME.

 SMStext defines text to be sent by A_Alert action, can contain up to 10

characters. If a star symbol * is entered, text of alert will be the same as text
of STATUS message.

Please note program is executed in loop with 1s periodicity. Detection of
change on inputs with duration shorter than 1 second is then unreliable.
Typically 1s periodicity is OK for detection of alarm impulse from a PIR sensor,
but it is not recommended to use program for detection of events with shorter
than 1s duration.

Examples of program scripts:

Example 1 – Thermostat
When temperature at Temp1 sensor rises beyond 25.5°C, send SMS alert
containing STATUS text and switch off Main switched output. When
temperature falls bellow 15.1°C, turn the Main switched output on and ring my
phone number up.

Lets‟ predefine the phone number at first by sending following SMS command:

4 Indicators

4.1 Indication of operation state

IQSD-GSM is equipped with three LED indicators:

 POWER – red color, steady lighting is

indicating presence of AC mains (230v AC)
voltage.

 GSM – green color, blinking every second

indicates searching for a GSM network in
progress; blinking every three seconds
indicates successful logging into a GSM
network. Very fast blinking (about twice per

POWER

GSM

RELA Y

second, 0.5s on/0.1s off) indicates an outgoing call in progress, e.g. a ringing
alert in case of alarm or during RINGON command.

 RELAY – yellow color, indicates state of Main switched output relay: steady

lighting means turned on - connected contacts C and NO; not lighting means
turned off – connected contacts C and NC.

4.2 Indication of error state

 POWER – red color, blinking fast about twice per second indicated SIM card

is not inserted. When battery is deeply discharged (voltage under 3.65V),
charging process will start, which is indicated by slow blinking (1.5sec on/

0.1sec off). When battery reaches usable voltage (3.75V), GSM module is
powered on and device is fully enabled.

 GSM – green color, blinking fast about twice per second indicates SIM card

with active PIN authorization. It is necessary to disable the PIN authorization
using a GSM phone.

 RELAY – yellow, blinking fast indicated a HW failure.

5 Factory default settings

Each device come from factory preconfigured with factory default values.
Device can be anytime returned back to these default values by using reset to
factory defaults procedure.

5.1 Reset to factory default procedure

Reset is done by pushing the push button located in bottom left corner at the
front panel. See also chapter 3.5.

By pressing of the push button for longer than 2 seconds but shorter than 5
seconds, all LED indicators start blinking, when the push button is pressed
again during LED blinking, IQSD-GSM configuration will be set back to factory
default values. After this step is your device in original factory configuration.

5.2 Factory default settings

BE CAREFULL! This step will erase all your IQsocket configuration.
