Communication Programming Using SMS
After selecting the communication protocol the following steps need programming.
User Mobile Phone
This is the user's mobile phone number where SMS events will be sent. Press a button to add any
symbols: ',' = 2 second pause, '+' for roaming calls.
Valid Areas
This option permits the set up a different ARC for a different area. Select which area this particular
ARC will be reporting. Selecting ABCD means the ARC will be receiving events from all areas.

Event Types 1-16
All the communication events are grouped into 32 groups. For example, Event Type 1 is a group
where the following events have been grouped: Final Arm, Auto Arm and Rearm. To report these
events this group should be enabled and if not required to report them this group should be disabled.
For full table of the event types please see Chapter 11.
NOTE: Make sure the Event Type 6 is disabled when Event Type 5 is used. Event type 6 sends the
events only once. Mostly used with SMS messaging. If Event Type 5 and 6 are both enabled a double
of some events will be sent. Redials: If the call fails it will be repeated to the number programmed.

available are arming, disarming, and arming with inputs bypassed, bypassing inputs, checking the
system status, activating user automation outputs, checking output status', editing SMS telephone
numbers, and starting the upload/download software.
NOTE: Any text message command to the PCX 46 will need to start with a valid user code.
NOTE: Text messages commands are not case sensitive except when the used outputs are activated.
NOTE: If a text command is not recognised by the PCX 46 it will send back to the user a message
starting 'Wrong Command'.
