Description and functions of the device
• the GSM communicator may be used as a complement to alarm control systems as a 2 input GSM transmitter.
• capable of sending voice or SMS messages to 8 phone numbers. Voice messages with a length of up to 8 seconds can be sent
concerning the 2 inputs and power failure. An extra identification message may be recorded (up to 16 seconds), which is played
before the alarm message.
• the open collector (OC) output of the device may be used for control with caller ID.
• capable of forwarding SMS messages received by the SIM card to a preset phone number.
• monitors power failure and GSM signal strength; GSM signal strength can be read out and drawn up as a one-hour resolution
graph with the programming software.
• possesses a 16.000 event list, which records signals, GSM status, incoming calls and phone numbers.
• PC programming is possible with ProRead software and optional programming cable!
Description of the terminal block
I2, C, I1 Input2 and Input1 controlled by short-circuit or cut in relation to COM port
O Output of the module: OC=open collector
+, - Power supply: += 9-18 VDC; -= GND
Installation instructions
• Check signal strength with your mobile. It is possible that signal strength is not sufficient at the desired place. If so, modify device
location before installation.
• Locate device far from electromagnetic interferences, such as electric motors, or transformer of the alarm system.
• Do not install device in wet or high humid places.
• Connection of the antenna: You may connect the antenna to a SMA plug. In case of poor signal strength use a higher gain an-
tenna.
• Disable PIN requirement, voice mail, and call notification on your SIM card.
• Occasionally a newly bought SIM card needs to be activated (usually by making an outgoing call).
• Caller ID function needs to be activated on your SIM card by the Mobile Service Provider (with some models it is not activated
by default).
• Insert SIM card.
• Connect antenna to device.
• Connect as indicated.
• Device is ready to be connected to power supply. Make sure that the power supply is sufficient for the operation of the device.
The module’s resting current is 20mA, but may reach 300mA during communication.
• After connecting to the power supply, the red LED goes on, which indicates that the device is trying to contact the GSM tower
(up to 1 min).
• When the red LED light goes off and the green LED is flashing, the module is ready for operation and has connected to the network. The number of flashes indicates signal strength.
• For programming the power supply needs to be connected.
LED signals
LED status = green
ACT LED = red
Number of flashes: Number of LED flashes between the breaks.
Only green LED flashes No error, GSM module connected, the number of LED flashes shows signal strength.
1..2=poor signal strength, 3=sufficient, 4..5=excellent
Green LED on GSM module’s connection rejected.
Red LED on Shows initialization on start-up, otherwise an event message is being sent (SMS, voice
call).

Green and red flashes at the same
time
Error code by the number of flashes:
1 flash: GSM module initialisation
2 flashes: GSM module defective
3 flashes: SIM card not inserted
4 flashes: SIM card blocked by PIN code
10 flashes: Modem mode
Control with caller ID function
You need to have your Service Provider enable the caller ID function in the SIM card of your GSM module. The caller ID function
needs to be enabled in each telephone from which you would like to control the device.
The GSM module accepts phone numbers stored on the SIM card, therefore depending on the SIM card 250 or 500 numbers can
be set. You may add phone numbers to the SIM card by inserting it to a regular mobile phone, or you may view/edit the SIM card’s
address book in the Caller ID tab. First you need to upload it with the Read button, then after editing write it in with the Send button. The address book can be imported/exported in EXCEL csv format with the Open/Save button.
The caller ID function can be switched off in the GSM module (Output tab / Control with Caller ID), in this case the device accepts
every phone number. The caller ID function can be used for output control (Output tab / Control with Incoming Call). The module
provides feedback about status with the number of ringtones:
- Output control in bistable mode: few ringtones (0-1) = control, many ringtones (3-4) = end of control
Output settings
Output modes can be set in the Output tab.
• MONOstable mode: output is controlled for the preset time, then releases (1-65000 seconds).
• BIstable (two-state) mode: changes state on every command and stays in that state indefinitely.
