Before the first use PIN code of SIM card shall be programmed for operation in given transmitter. PIN code is indispensable for automatic system launching. In case of card without PIN code, it is possible to enter any value e.g. 0000. PX200NB – Manual Page 27 / 64...
Module is equipped with two outputs. Inputs/Outputs option enable programmable configuration so that transmitter operates pursuant to requirements of the user. 7.3.1. Inputs configuration For every input the following settings shall be determined respectively. PX200NB – Manual Page 28 / 64...
In case of temporary lock – user can set lock time and number of input state changes after which lock occurs. Lock time is counted from first input state change. More detailed information about input locks is shown on a diagram below. PX200NB – Manual Page 29 / 64...
- Locally there can be 2 x N – 1 input activations. In summary average number of activations during defined period of time will be preserved. Temporary lock may be deactivated by SMS or GRPS command (RLIMIT command) 7.3.2. Partitions Partitions are configured using Partitions tab. PX200NB – Manual Page 30 / 64...
Entry time, but only when partition to which input belongs will not be disarmed before Entry time period. 7.3.2.4. Exit time Partition exit time. Partition inputs will be monitored when this configured time elapses after partition input had been armed. PX200NB – Manual Page 31 / 64...
No GSM signal (immediately after detection); Dependent on state transitions from non-active to active of one of the inputs. Outputs can be also activated by internal watchdog (see 7.7. Link control). PX200NB – Manual Page 32 / 64...
Always: every input disturbance causes actuation of sabotage output. Available network: input disturbance causes actuation of sabotage output if sending of information to server is possible. Note: Both outputs may be controlled by SMS commands. PX200NB – Manual Page 33 / 64...
7.3.4.1. Output 1 / Output 2 These columns define which signals are to influence the status of a specific output. You can define the output operating mode and which signals control the outputs. PX200NB – Manual Page 34 / 64...
(see item 7.3.3.2.). 7.3.4.4. Event: Input 9 (RC) and Input 10 (RC) Virtual RC input (only for PX200NB-5R), which allow you to control the output state. Possible choices are described in section 7.3.4.1. 7.4. MONITORING Thanks to this option you may determine which of available signals generated by the device shall be transmitted to monitoring station.
One of device additional options is monitoring of power supply voltage. As short voltage drop may follows at some facilities, it is possible to avoid reporting by entering time after which information will be sent. PX200NB – Manual Page 36 / 64...
In this section you can define the limits for the numbers of which SMS are sent to the transmitter with commands and CSD connections are established. You can also specify the period of validity of the sent SMS and SMS limits. PX200NB – Manual Page 37 / 64...
