Silencing the Alarm

The bell –ve wire can be routed through the relay COM and NC terminals onto the bell. This al-
lows the relay to break the connection when active and silence the alarm. Whilst the bell is
sounding the SILENCE command can be used to silence the bell.

Setup

5.1

SIM Keep Alive Text

When using a Pay As You Go (PAYG) SIM card, to avoid SIM card deactivation, the system will
periodically call a dedicated telephone number (+441512834306) and can send a SMS text mes-
sage to keep the SIM active. Ensure the SIM card has sufficient credit to make a call or text (the
call will be answered and will be active for 15s). To setup the Keep Alive Text function the follow-
ing SMS text message is sent to the system:
KAT<space>number,frequency.
e.g. KAT 07000000000,10.
KAT Off
Frequency—number of days interval
The default setting for the Keep Alive Call, KAC, are a call to +441512834306 every 56 days. This
can be changed using the KAC command:
KAC +441512834306,50.
If the KAC fails, a message will be sent to the master numbers with the text 'KAC#FAIL :(". This
can be due to the KAC number having been removed without switching off the KAC function
with 'KAC OFF'. A manual call should be made using the DIAL command.

Signal Strength Indicator

When setting up the system it is important to know the strength of signal for reliable operation. To
receive a message showing the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) the CSQ command is
sent to the system as follows:
CSQ
When the system SIM card has sufficient credit a SMS text message is sent to the number which
sent the command displaying the current RSSI.
e.g. >RSSI 21
It is recommended that the minimum signal level for the installation is 15 (-83dBm) to ensure reli-
able operation. The system will operate below 8 (–100dBm) but may become unresponsive at
times.
