General
The AlarmBox-wireless, Model GSM allows monitoring of the temperature (via temperature
sensor) and the 230V supply voltage. Exceeded or fallen below the pre-set temperature limits or a
power supply failure the alarm can be sent over a voice-call ("normal" phone call from the box) or
via a text message (SMS) from the box.
Also the AlarmBox-wireless, Model GSM allows to remotely switch ON and OFF a 230V electrical
appliance over a voice-call ("normal" phone call call to the box) or via text message (SMS) to the
the box.
Before first use please read this instruction manual carefully. It contains information for the correct
use and contains important tips for the installation of the AlarmBox-wireless, Type GSM
(hereafter called AlarmBox-GSM). The manufacturer does not accept any liability due to improper
use of the unit. In this case all guarantee claims are invalid.
U sing the Alarm Box-GSM
Die AlarmBox-GSM is designed for monitoring of
temperature (-35°C to 75°C)
and
230V power supply
and the switching of
resistive loads i. e. electric bulbs or heating fans
or
inductive loads i. e. electric motors or transformers to a maximum consumption of
2000W (230V / 8 7A)
in dry closed residential rooms and offices. Rules and Regulations governing the connection and
use of electronic devices and their security regulations must be followed.

Safety Instructions
Do not open the AlarmBox-GSM. It contains no parts to be serviced by you.
Only use the AlarmBox-GSM indoors and do not subject the unit to moisture or humidity.
Also use the temperature sensor without the influence of humidity.
Only connect the AlarmBox-GSM to properly installed 230V AC outlets and power strips.
Only clean the exterior of the AlarmBox-GSM with a dry cloth after unplugging it from the
electrical outlet and removal of the interface cable.
Do not overload the AlarmBox-GSM above its load specification level. An overload can
lead to the AlarmBox-GSM being destroyed.
Do not use the AlarmBox-GSM within the reach of children.
Do not use the AlarmBox-GSM if one or several parts (case cable plug temperature
sensor) are damaged or damage may be caused by its location (e.g. falling down).
Repairs to the AlarmBox-GSM can only be performed by authorized personnel.
Only connect electrical appliances that have no limit to their switched-on time (i.e. all
connected electrical appliances must be able to take continuous current without sustaining
damage in the case of a default to the permanently "ON" position.).
Caution:
Safety Instruction for the wireless module:
The AlarmBox-GSM contains a mobile component like the ones used in mobile phones. Thus in
principle all safety instructions and precautions apply as with the use of mobile phones in particular
are the following:
Do not use the AlarmBox-GSM in the vicinity of medical devices such as hearing aids or
cardiac pacemakers. Functioning of these devices could be disturbed.
The AlarmBox-GSM may be operated in the vicinity of for example TV sets radios or PCs
however but could cause disturbances in operation.
If an external mobile antenna is connected the above mentioned information shall apply
accordingly for this antenna.
The AlarmBox-GSM is designed for stationary use not for use in vehicles of all kinds.

Installation
Hardware
Insert the 230V plug of the device to be monitored by the AlarmBox-GSM into the socket
of the AlarmBox-GSM
Insert the AlarmBox-GSM into a 230V outlet socket
CAUTION: after inserting the AlarmBox-GSM socket the connected device is switched ON
or OFF depending on the previous set state
place the temperature sensor where the temperature shall be monitored
the socket of the AlarmBox-GSM can be switched (''toggled'') by pressing the push-button
(at the bottom of the box) for 3 seconds at least
Operation
The AlarmBox-GSM is operated solely via SMS commands a voice call or via the push-button (at
the bottom of the box).
Blinc codes of the ON-LED
The ON-LED signals the current state of the AlarmBox-GSM. It signals whether an existing alarm
has already been reported. In case of alarm and the deposited alarm phone number has not been
reached yet the ON-LED blinks (depending on the alarm type) as described below. If the alarm
situation has been resolved successfully the ON-LED signals the current state of the socket.
ON-LED Meaning
Permanently OFF Socket OFF
Permanent ON Socket ON
1 x red The set temperature limits have fallen below or have
been exceeded
2 x red Socket in reset mode
3 x red The supply voltage has failed
4 x red The temperature sensor is defect

Button
Keeping the button pressed for more than 3 seconds the state of the socket is being ''toggled'. The
socket is either ''ON'' or ''OFF'' when the button is pressed. The ON-LED indicates the current state
of the socket.

GSM
Getting Started
Parameter on the SIM card
The SIM card intended for the us with the AlarmBox-GSM can be prepared with any mobile phone
or PC SIM card reader.
The prepared SIM card should be inserted into the small slot on
the underside of the AlarmBox-GSM. The SIM card must be
inserted using a small tool (screwdriver or similar) and be
carefully pushed right up to the mechanical rear stop where it will
lock in this position. To later extract the SIM card it must be
pressed in again to the rear stop and then released. It will be
ejected by the push-pull card reader mechanism.
ACHTUNG: Before inserting/removing the SIM card ensure the AlarmBox-GSM is not connected
to the power supply (i.e. pull out of the wall outlet) otherwise the complete contents of the SIM
card not only the contents of the phone book could be destroyed. In this instance the SIM card
user will need to exchange the card with the provider which will incur further costs.
Standard-PIN:
As a general rule the use of a SIM card requires user to identify himself / herself with the PIN code.
The "AlarmBox-GSM" tries (if no PIN changes have been made) to log itself on using the standard
PIN code – please therefore use the standard PIN given below when first initialising SIM card.
The PIN is the access code for a SIM card. The AlarmBox-GSM expects the standard
PIN code '1357' to be used initially. This PIN code can be pre-set on the SIM card with
the help of a mobile phone or PC SIM card readers.
(Error code 2 see also Troubleshooting)

Blinc codes of the GSM-LED:
The AlarmBox-GSM uses different flashing codes of the "GSM" LED to indicate the current
condition of the "GSM" module. If the "GSM" LED emits one of the flashing codes for an extended
period of time there may be an error as described below.
Basically the flashing codes are generated at each Power ON and during each GSM network login.
Normally however the individual error states are so short that the single Flashing Codes are not
perceivable. (e.g. the Flashing Code 2 during PIN setting lasts only approx. 0.3 second)..
