Alphatech Grl 4g Assembly instructions

4G GSM relay controlled via SMS

GRL 4G

Installation and programming manual v3.1

from fw 204

The device is designed to remotely control 2 separate relays

and send notification SMS or call stored voice messages when

changing the status of 4 inputs (input on/off).

Basic technical parameters:

Power supply 9 to 24 VDC, 500 mA

GSM networks 2G bands B3, B8

4G bands B1, B3, B7, B8, B20, B28A

Outputs 2x switching relay 1 A / 30VDC (60Vmax)

(galvanically isolated)

Inputs: 4x 0/5V inputs, short-circuit activation

Dimension: 131 x 111 x 38.5 mm

Basic features:

•Replaceable backup battery

•Simple installation and setup (in the basic settings, you

only need to store one phone number on the SIM card)

•After changing the input status, sending SMS to up to 7

numbers (PORTOPN1-7 and PORTCLS1-7) stored on

the SIM card and simultaneously calling up to 7 phone

numbers (PORTCALL1-7) also stored on the SIM card.

•Separate SMS text message for each state of each

input (i.e. 8 different SMS text messages)

•Separate voice messages for each state of each input

(i.e. 8 different voice messages)

•It is possible to set the relay states after switching on

(relay open, closed, remember the last state before

switching off)

•Possibility to remotely determine the current status of

both relays, all inputs, temperature and power supply of

the device via SMS text message.

•After calling the device, you can listen to a voice

message with the current status of both relays and all

inputs.

•Ringing can be used to control relay switching similarly

as with the Alphatech GSM Door Intercom or the

Alphatech GSM Key devices.

•The device can only be controlled and programmed

from the numbers stored on the SIM card which is

inside the device.

•You can work without or with the PIN code –automatic

generation of random PIN code for the inserted SIM

card.

•SMS control of up to 7 slave GRL4G devices from the

master GRL4G device, or mutual control in a cascade.

Commissioning:

•If you wish to program the parameters directly to the SIM

card by saving the numbers from any mobile phone, insert

that SIM card into this mobile phone and program the SIM

card.

•Turn off the PIN on the SIM card or set the PIN code to

0000 (see chapter SIM PIN). Insert the programmed (see

previous point) or unprogrammed SIM card into the hole

inside the device (see the figure below) and press it to

secure the SIM card.

•If you have a backup battery installed, leave its switch in

the down position (off).

•Connect the antenna.

•Connect the power.

•The blue power (PWR) LED lights up, flashes or the BAT

LED lights up (see below).

•Within about 4 seconds, the yellow GSM LED lights up.

•During the next 30 sec. the GSM network will be logged in

(yellow LED flashes, see the table later in the manual) and

relays will be switched on (see RLxSTAT settings in the

table later in the manual)

•The device is ready for operation.

SIM PIN

If you wish to operate the device with a SIM card without a PIN

code, turn off the SIM PIN code (in any type of a mobile phone)

before inserting the SIM card into the device.

If you wish to operate the device with a SIM card with a PIN

code, set the PIN code to 0000 on the SIM card using any type

of a mobile phone before inserting the SIM card into the device.

The GRL4G device, after inserting a SIM card with such a PIN

code changes itself the PIN code to another PIN code, it´s

derived from the GSM module.

•Each GRL4G has its own unique PIN code (within a 4-

digit number, of course)

•If you wish to use this SIM card in another device, you

need to know the PIN2 code from this SIM card. As you

do not know the real PIN code, you will need the PIN2

code to set a new PIN code (for example again to 0000,

for use in another GRL4G) –working with PIN/PIN2 code

does not affect the saved data and settings. These

remain on the SIM card.

•ATTENTION! When inserting a SIM card with a PIN

code other than 0000, the device will not work! The

only exception is when you insert the SIM card that has

a PIN code set corresponding to the unique number of

the GSM module. So, if you remove the SIM card after

turning off the GRL4G device and insert it into the same

GRL4G device again, the GRL4G device will continue to

work without changing the PIN code.

Example of wiring:

Sending SMS SET REL1 ON turns on the light

When the level rises, the sensor switches on the IN1 input and

the device sends an SMS "P1 closed" (or another agreed SMS

–e.g. "The level is above normal").

By sending SMS SET REL2 ON, the pump is switched on. After

the level drops, the sensor opens the IN1 input and the device

sends an SMS "P1 OPEN" (or, for example, "Level in normal".

By sending SMS SET REL2 OFF the pump switches off again.

Programming the GRL4G parameters via SMS text

message

For security reasons, GRL parameters can only be set from

numbers stored on the SIM card under the names ADMIN1 to

ADMIN9.

SMS messages are always WRITTEN IN LARGE LETTERS

Individual SMS elements are always separated by a space

(words). The first word is always a command. The next word(s)

is one or more parameters.

Ex: INIT ADMIN1 +420123456789

All commands are in the appropriate table at the end of the

manual.

1. During the first setup, when the SIM card does not contain

any of the ADMINx names, it is necessary to enter such a

number on the SIM card using an SMS with the INIT

command. The SMS can be sent from any number. If the

SIM card already contains at least one number with the

name ADMINx, the command will not be executed.

2. If you need to control the relay, or set GRL from other

ADMIN numbers: From the mobile phone with the ADMINx

number, send an SMS with the numbers of other ADMINs

to GRL4G in the form: WRITE ADMIN2 +420xxxxxxxxx

(WRITE ADMIN3... etc.)

3. From the mobile phone with the ADMINx number, send

SMS text messages gradually to the GRL4G device. Send

SMS text messages with the numbers to which SMS

should be sent when the status changes on the inputs in the

form: WRITE PORTOPN1 +420xxxxxxxxx (WRITE

PORTOPN2... etc.)

4. If the default parameters are not suitable, set the GRL

parameters (see the table later in the manual). You can

set the parameters individually, for each parameter by a

separate SMS. If you need to set more parameters at the

same time, we recommend using SMS for a bulk setup.

Using the "READ PAR" SMS, you can first load and read

the current values of all parameters into your mobile phone.

Use the SMS editor to change the word READ to WRITE in

the received SMS and edit the parameter values according

to the requirements (rows with parameters that you do not

change can be kept or deleted). Send the edited SMS

message back to the GRL4G device as a reply. The

parameters will be set.

Command types:

READ –command for reading parameters, phone numbers

from the SIM card or device memory

CLR - Command to delete phone numbers from the SIM card.

ATTENTION! If you use the SMS to delete numbers, at least

1 ADMINx number must remain in the system –otherwise it is

no longer possible to program the device remotely (it is

necessary to perform a new initialization).

INIT –Initialization. During the first setup, when the SIM does

not contain any of the ADMINx names, it is necessary to enter

such a number on the SIM card using an SMS with the INIT

command. The SMS can be sent from any number. If the SIM

card already contains at least one number with the name

ADMINx, the command will not be executed.
