SECTION 5 - TESTING
5.1 Testing the System
Before testing the GSM 1000 unit, ensure that the control panel is correctly programmed and operating
properly by performing a test transmission to the monitoring station over the normal telephone line. If
problems are encountered in communicating over the normal telephone line, ensure that the communication
options, telephone numbers and account numbers are programmed properly in the control panel. The
control panel must be programmed properly in order for the GSM 1000 to operate.
Apply power to the whole system after all wiring connections have been made. Ten seconds after power
is applied to the GSM 1000 unit, LED1 on the unit will begin to flash. Observe LED1 for at least 40 seconds,
if LED1 flashes once every ten seconds, then the GSM unit is operating properly. If there is a trouble
condition, LED1 will flash either four times or eight times in every ten seconds. Refer to the "Trouble
Indication" section of this manual.
5.1.1 Performing a Test Transmission
Contact the monitoring station to request a transmission test. Remove the telephone cord from the TELCO
jack. Perform a System Test as described in the control panel's Installation Manual. When the test is
complete, contact the monitoring station to confirm the transmission. Perform additional test transmissions
as required by the monitoring station.
Note: Whenever a cellular telephone call is answered by a receiver or another phone, cellular charges will
be applied to the cellular telephone account that placed the call. Therefore keep in mind that test signals
will increment the cellular bill. If for some reason the call is established but the alarm signal is not received,
the cellular account will still be billed. Please double check the installation before you test.
5.1.2 "On Air" Indication
Whenever the GSM unit is communicating over the cellular network, the red LED (LED1) on the unit's circuit
board will be energized. When communications are successfully completed and there are no troubles to
report, the LED will return to its standby indication of one flash every 10 seconds. If trouble conditions exist,
the LED will flash 4 or more times every 10 seconds.
5.2 Trouble Shooting
If GSM 1000 does not communicate to the central monitoring station receiver, check the following before
calling Technical Support:
5.2.1 Check Wiring
A. Make sure T1 & R1 of the GSM 1000 are connected to TIP & RNG of the control panel.
B. Make sure the RED and BLK of the GSM 1000 are connected to RED and BLK of the control panel.
C. Make sure the BELL+ of the panel is connected to BELL IN of the GSM 1000. The BELL OUT should
be connected to the siren.
D. Make sure the proper resistor is in place on control panel PGM (see installation instructions).
E. Make sure the programmer is not plugged into the GSM 1000.
F. Make sure jumper J4 is removed.
