SATEL GPRS-T4 The GPRS-T4 module is a device dedicated for use in intruder alarm systems for the purpose of reporting and messaging via the GSM networks. The main task of the module is monitoring the status of inputs. A change of the input status results in sending event codes to the monitoring stations or notifying selected telephone numbers by means of SMS message or CLIP service.

Disconnect power before making any electrical connections. It is not recommended to power up the device with disconnected antenna. The GPRS-T4 module should be installed indoors, in spaces with normal air humidity. When selecting the installation place, take into consideration that thick walls, metal partitions, etc.

Communication between the program and the module is only possible when the identifier entered in this field is consistent with that stored in the module. No identifier is preprogrammed in the module with factory default settings.

SATEL GPRS-T4 Monitoring station 1 / Monitoring station 2 Using GPRS technology, event codes can be sent to the STAM-2 monitoring station or to the SMET-256 converter. Communication with the subscriber sending event codes with the use of GPRS technology should be tested by the monitoring station as rarely as possible (if a value lower than 1 minute is entered in the "Test period"...

GPRS-T4 SATEL SMS format The format of SMS messages for SMS reporting must be defined according to the monitoring station requirements. The default SMS messages format programmed in the module corresponds to the factory default settings of the STAM-2 monitoring station (program version1.2.0 or later).
