Page 2: Overview Of Gsm 12A
Page - 2 - 64-309-46_001-Manual-GSM_12A_Rev1.4-ENG-CH.doc Overview of GSM 12A LEDs for relay status (relay 1 and 2) • Green light: relay on • No light: relay off Push-buttons for local control of relays Antenna connector Alarm LED Alarm detector inputs I1 and I2...
Page 3: Connections
All remote communication with GSM 12A takes place through the GSM network. In order to receive SMS command messages, GSM 12A needs to have a SIM card installed, just like any standard mobile phone. SIM cards from any mobile phone operator will do (pre-pay or subscription based) as long as they enable SMS messaging.
Page 4: Connections Required Before Use
Page - 4 - 64-309-46_001-Manual-GSM_12A_Rev1.4-ENG-CH.doc Connections required before use NB: do not connect the power supply before all connections are made! Connection of antenna Hang the antenna vertically, as high as possible, on a wood or plaster support. For the actual connection, please refer to the overview, page 2.
Page 5: Connection Of Alarm Detectors
64-309-46_001-Manual-GSM_12A_Rev1.4-ENG-CH.doc Page - 5 – Connection of alarm detectors GSM 12A offers 2 inputs for gas, fire, intru- sion, water or similar detectors. Connect such detectors either on inputs I1 and GND, or on I2 and GND. A resistor of 10 kΩ to 27 kΩ...
Page 6: Start-Up
SIM card inserted, follow the start-up procedure: Powering on GSM 12A Once GSM 12A has been connected to a 12 VDC power supply, it will be ready in 10 to 15 seconds. The Signal LED will light up according to the convention described below under the title Signal strength.

L = Limits for temperature surveillance J = Activate temperature surveillance for the limits set with command “L” N = Mobile number to which GSM 12A will send surveillance and alarm messages. V = Limits for power supply voltage surveillance (between 7 and 15 volts) G = Activate voltage surveillance for the limits set with command “V”...
Page 8 E.g.: “1234 R20” switches off relay 2 Status message There are two kinds of status messages. When GSM 12A receives command S1 or S2, it will send the corresponding status message in reply to the mobile phone number the command was received from.
Page 9 (Voltage of power supply) Volt:12,2V Num:(12345678) (Number to which surveillance and alarm messages are sent) GSM12A V1.00 (Software version of GSM 12A) Status message for command S2 S2 returns the details of surveillance-related configuration settings. Sample status message received with S2:...
Page 10 Use command “J” to activate or deactivate surveillance of chosen temperature limits. Once any of the limits is exceeded, GSM 12A will send off a message, and deactivate the surveillance. If you wish to continue the surveillance, re-activate it with command “J”.
Page 11 E.g.: “1234 N12345678# S1” stores a new number and requests a status message for verification. Do not forget the international dialling code if GSM 12A is to send messages to phones with a foreign SIM card (e.g. prefix +47 for Norway, +41 for Switzerland, etc.).
Page 12 Page - 12 - 64-309-46_001-Manual-GSM_12A_Rev1.4-ENG-CH.doc Voltage surveillance limits GSM 12A is able to monitor the tension of its power supply (usually a 12V battery), and send an SMS message when a chosen lower or upper voltage limit is exceeded. The chosen limits must be in the range of 7V to 15V.
Page 13: Troubleshooting
Alarm LED rapidly blinks red: • Wait about 2-3 minutes for the unit to restart on its own. • If it's still blinking: restart GSM 12A by shortly disconnecting it from its power supply. • The red blinking can finally signal a fault with the unit: contact your dealer.
Page 14: Preconditions And Advice
Command “L” (for setting limits) will remain void in absence of sensors. • Several commands may be combined in a single message sent to GSM 12A. E.g.: “1234 T130 N123456789# S1” switches relay number 1 on for 30 hours, stores a new phone number for alarm/surveillance messages, and requests a status message.
Page 15 Information on this procedure, as well as how to check the remaining credit comes with the SIM card. GSM 12A is unable to warn if the credit is exhausted, as no SMS message may then be sent out.
