11.6.4 Inserting the SIM card

(Only for Octalarm-IP with GSM module: IP-A0xPG and IP-A0xGE).
The Octalarm-IP with GSM module is supplied without a SIM
card. The SIM slot for the card is located on the GSM piggy-back
printed circuit board next to the antenna connection. Place the
SIM card with the copper contacts on the underside and the
notch on the right-hand side as shown on the illustration. Push
the card down gently so that the contact springs spring in a little,
freeing the card slot.
The SIM slot is only suitable for mini SIM cards (2FF).
Prepaid SIM cards
We strongly advise against using prepaid SIM cards in GSM
alarm diallers. The appliance can't check the call credit on the
SIM card or top it up. If there is no credit on the card, the alarms
will stop and this could lead to damage. In addition, the
functionality that is available on a prepaid SIM card is more
limited than with a subscription.
11.7

Mains failure and battery

11.7.1 Mains failure

The Octalarm has a built-in, maintenance free, emergency
battery. This keeps the Octalarm in operation for a considerable time when the mains
power fails.

11.7.2 Mains failure report

Mains supply failure can be reported by the Octalarm by telephone and/or with an audio
signal.

11.7.3 Battery empty warning

If the battery becomes almost empty during a mains failure this will be reported by
telephone and/or with an audio signal.

11.7.4 Automatic battery check

The battery will normally be fully charged due to it being trickle charged during normal
operation. The battery's condition is automatically tested every month. If testing reveals
that the battery no longer has sufficient capacity (less than 30% of its original capacity)
the red, 'battery empty' lamp will light and the message 'battery malfunction' will be
shown on the display.
The internal buzzer will be activated and
a telephone report will also be made via
the "battery empty" channel.
