SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION

1.1 GSM 1000

The GSM 1000 Cellular Alarm Transmitter enhances the protection provided by a security system by
providing a reliable backup to the control panel's normal telephone communications with the monitoring
station. The GSM 1000 works with the DSC Security Control Panels described in the Specifications below.
If the control panel is unable to complete an alarm transmission through the normal telephone line, due to
any line problems, the GSM 1000 will be activated and will transmit the alarm communication over the
cellular network. The GSM 1000 works automatically.
The GSM 1000 has been designed for simple and straightforward installation. Wiring connections are made
directly between the GSM 1000 unit and the security control panel. The DSC Security Control Panel requires
only minor changes in their Programming Sections

IMPORTANT NOTE
A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and, if included, a
monitoring station, of an emergency situation. Security systems are generally very reliable but they
may not work under all conditions and they are not a substitute for prudent security practices or life
and property insurance. Your security system should be installed and serviced by qualified security
professionals who should instruct you on the level of protection that has been provided and on
system operations.
