Device description and function
The GSM/GPRS device can be used for remote controlling (ex.: gate opener), as an accessory to alarm centers and also
as a standalone alarm center. The module has 4 contact driven inputs and one implemented relay output (relay type:
NO/NC). The module can be expanded with further outputs and functions.
It can send notification to 8 phone numbers in SMS and/or voice message. The notification sending can be triggered by a
signal arriving to any of the 4 inputs, by power failure, by sabotage or by arming/disarming of the GSM module. The
notifications can be accompanied by an additional voice message that will be played when calling is answered. These
recordings can be 8 seconds utmost. The voice message can be also a shared identifying message with a maximum
length of 15 seconds.
Output control can be made from unlimited phone numbers with a free call. When controlling with caller identification
numbers can be stored in the memory of the module (1,000 in this case), or on the SIM card inserted. With caller
identification unauthorized controlling of the device connected to the output is not possible.
Output can be controlled also with SMS command that might even contain differing order from stored settings (ex. output
set to bistable can be controlled for 10 seconds). You can find more information on this command on page 20.
DTMF controlling was implemented thus GSM module outputs can be controlled separately with mobile phone buttons.
This mode has the condition to accept the call arriving to the module that involves call charges depending on the carrier.
The module can store up to 16,000 events in which appear states of the inputs and outputs, power supply resets, GSM
network and module state related information, incoming and outgoing calls and SMSs.
The tamper input on the module can be used as a sabotage indicator with setting possibilities alike to inputs. Shortening it
before powering on then cut short in 3 seconds functions as a ’’reset’’ that can revert the module back to its original
factory state.
Implemented Anti Jammer System (AJS) protects from GSM jammers. The significant dropping of the GSM strength or a
network connection failure initiates a prompt alarm. In these situations module tries to send notifications using network
possibilities still available. It can be set that by controlling the output even a siren can be managed. This possibility is
especially useful if we would like to fob the person who committed the sabotage.
As a standalone alarm center 4 zones can be distinguished and they can have Contact IDs or zone codes. The types of
the inputs can be altered based on that (ex. 24/7, delayed etc.). By using expansion panel (EXP Alarm) an LED status
feedback is available of the armed/disarmed module status and also the control of a peripheral buzzer in case of arming
disarming and alarm event.
Besides continuous voltage monitoring the module observes also the GSM strength. These data can be readout and
these can be charted even by hourly divisions by the programming and surveillance software.
By using expansion panels further outputs (EXP Relay, EXP Relay3), or expansion panel for standalone GSM alarm
center (EXP Alarm) can be connected
The module can be programmed by SMS command, voice menu, PC or by Android mobile phone.

• Operation temperature: -20°C - +50°C
Installation steps
1. Carry out a signal strength check with your mobile phone. Sometimes occurs there is no sufficient signal strength
at the commissioning site. In this case it is recommended to change the module position prior to installation.
Do not install the device to places where strong electromagnetic waves might occur, ex. next to electric motors or
alarm transformers.
2. Do not install in watery places or to places with great humidity.
3.
Connect the antenna that can be secured with an SMA connector. If you are reading low signal strength use
antenna with higher gain. Signal strength grow can also be achieved by repositioning the antenna. Do not
position the antenna under various metal covers as those might significantly ruin the signal strength.
4.
You should opt out the PIN number request, voicemail and call notification of the SIM card. Sometimes
new SIM cards must be activated (usually one outgoing call has to be made). Check the validity of the card. If you
have a prepaid card check its balance and its usage possibilities (ex. can be used only for calls).
5. Number identification of caller and at call initiations has to be checked. This function at certain service providers.
Must be enabled formerly.
6. Insert the SIM card in the SIM card slot of the module.
7. Connectors have to be connected according to the wiring diagram. If you are dealing with OC output (output of
EXP Alarm expansion panel) mind the correct wiring of the relay protecting diode.
8. If you are working with OC relay be cautious especially of avoiding electric shock. A proper contact protection
must be established. If you lack the appropriate experience ask for professional help.
9. Check if the power supply performance will be sufficient for the module. Mind the polarity.
If wiring is reversed the module will not operate or might get damaged.
10. Now the device can be connected to the power supply.
11.
If you have purchased also a battery connect it to the device. Use only the appropriate battery for reserve
powering the device!
12.
After connecting the voltage supply the red LED is lighted indicating the device establishing connection with the
GSM system (this can be 1 minute utmost).
13.
If red LED goes off and green LED flashes module is online and connected to network. The flash number(s)
indicates GSM signal strength.
For programming the power supply must be connected! Power needed for programming can be supplied to the
module also from USB adapter.

LED signals
Signals give essential information of the module, of GSM signal strength and the actual error codes. By blinking we mean
flashes between two longer pauses.
•
A STATUS LED (green) gives feedback of signal strength value based on the chart below:

•
An ACT LED (red) lit means the initiation process at startup. At this phase module performs the initial checks.
During operation this reflects an event (SMS or voice call).
•
If the red and green LED are lighted simultaneously it tries to communicate an error that can be identified with
the chart below:
Flashes Error code
