  • Page 6: General Descriptions

    Scaring off by an alarm sound is an addition option that must be configured. Vibrations can be monitored, living beings recognised with the integrated motion detector and noises determined. In case of alarm, the GX103+GPS sends an alarm text message to up to 6 saved phone number and is able to call back a phone number afterwards(optionally with the speaker deactivated, silent mode).
  • Page 7 Important note on accuracy of GPS positions: Accuracy of the GPS position determined depends on many factors. Since the GX103+GPS leaves the GPS receiver off at all times for runtime reasons in battery-powered operation, this will negatively influence accuracy. The GPS signal as such is overlaid by correction data that are saved in the device and will accelerate, among others, satellite search.
  • Page 8 PC, a driver is needed for the “virtual COM port” so that the product can be configured via USB and a firmware update performed. The required software and firmware files are available online at www.conrad.com, in the download section for the product.
  • Page 9: B) Product Status And Mode

    • New firmware versions are a voluntary service by Conrad Electronic SE and its partners and mainly serve product maintenance. There is no legal claim to this.

  • Page 18: Speaker Events (Command "Soundinfo")

    7. Speaker Events (Command “SOUNDINFO”) During the setup phase, it may be of benefit to hear what the product does right now. In may places of the firmware, sound outputs are stored that indicate an event. By default, these sounds are deactivated so that the module will not give itself away during surveillance. The sounds can be activated with the following command: SET SOUNDINFO #1513 Deactivation of the sounds is possible with the following command:...
  • Page 19: Time Setting Alarm Activation/Deactivation (Command "Countdown")

    9. Time Setting Alarm Activation/Deactivation (Command “COUNTDOWN”) The alarm function is also changed, e.g. directly at the device using the left button. However, you are in sensor range for the condition change (“ALARM ENABLE” to “ALARM DISABLE”) when the button is used for the change. To give the user some time to leave the sensor range, there are two countdown timers that are set as follows: SET COUNTDOWN <Time_Enable>...
  • Page 20: B) In- And Outputs

    If the sensitivity is set too high, undesired text message alarms may result, depending on application case. There are provisions to prevent high costs (“IDLEALARM”), but they may still result in some individual cases. Conrad Electronic assumes no liability for defectively set or programmed devices.
  • Page 21: Setting Support (Command "Diagnosis")

    2. Setting Support (Command “DIAGNOSE”) For the sensors to be easier to configure, this command was introduced. After activation, this function controls the LEDs of the three buttons “1”, “2” and “3” in the “ALARM DISABLE” mode, as well as the speaker. When a sensor recognises something in its current sensitivity setting, the speaker will emit a short beep and the corresponding LED flashes.
