QTech SMS Lite – Quick Start Guide V1.5 Introduction The SMS Lite is a powerful cellular remote control unit that uses text messages to provide up to four people with status conditions, notifications and control options for its four switched inputs and two relay outputs. It is operational within minutes with the minimum configuration requirement being the registering of a single cellular number to the SMS Lite.
Before installing the SIM card, ensure that it is activated. We recommend you insert the SIM into a regular cell phone to check this. Carefully remove the SMS Lite cover by prising the side panels close to the retaining dimples.
QTech SMS Lite – Quick Start Guide V1.5 Getting Started In order to operate the SMS Lite, the device must have a mobile number registered as ‘Phone 1’ referred to as Ph1. You must register this number before you can configure any of the inputs or outputs.

QTech SMS Lite – Quick Start Guide V1.5 You can now connect the SMS Lite to the required INPUTS and OUTPUTS and configure them. INPUTS Once the SMS Lite is configured, Phone 1 will be sent a message each time any of the inputs turn on or off. They must acknowledge receipt of the notification.
Further configuration is possible to allow personalisation of your SMS Lite. You can assign a name to the SMS Lite which is referred to as the Site name as well as naming of inputs and outputs, and assignment of phone(s) to these. The SMS Lite can be configured with up to 4 phone numbers allowing multiple user notifications and control options.

Example: To programme the Site name to Shed1, name Input 1 as Pump and set notification escalations to phones 1, 2 and 3. You can either send the SMS Lite 3 individual configuration text messages: e.g. #12345 Site:Name=Shed1. #12345 INP1:Name=Pump.
The debounce value is "global" to all inputs and you cannot specify different values for each input. If the SMS Lite is connected to a device that will not be affected by this you do not need to programme this as the default value is 0 and there will be no delay.
