2 Background Information
2.1 GSM-Network in general
The GSM Network (Global System for Mobile Communications) is a standard for all-digital
mobile phone networks. GSM has been created to provide a mobile telephone system offering
the users Europe wide mobility and voice services compatible with ISDN or analog services.
Originally GSM has been designed for voice calls, the transmission of text messages (SMS) and
the transmission of data with a constant data speed. With the success of the internet an
evolution of GSM startet. The GSM network was expanded to offer packet oriented data
transmission (e.g. via GPRS) while keeping all other features and being fully downwards
compatible.
2.2 GPRS
GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) is a packet oriented transmission service which is used in
the mobile networks and which is supported by almost all network providers.
With GPRS you only have a virtually existing permanent connection to the other party. Only
when you really transmit data will the channel will be used, otherwise it is free for other users.
This means that no channel will be reserved permanently for a user (as it is with a GSM voice
call). Therefore the GPRS-bills depend more on the actual data volume transmitted than on the
connect time.
If the device is booked into the GPRS-Net it will automatically be assigned an IP-Address and
can exchange data with any server accessible via the internet,
Before you can use the GPRS-Interface the SIM-Card must be activated for GPRS. To order this
functionality please talk to your mobile network provider.
2.3 Quadband Frequencies
When a device is “quadband” it means that it uses the four major GSM frequencies and that it
is compatible with most GSM networks worldwide.
These four frequencies are 850 MHz and 1900 MHz (on the American continent) and 900 MHz
and 1800 MHz, which are used in almost all other countries worldwide (Europe and Asia).
In contrast to a triband mobile phone which only supports 900/1800 and 1900 or 850/1800
and 1900 a quadband device can be used in almost every GSM network worldwide.
2.4 E-Mail via SMTP
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a method used to send e-mails over the internet. The
handling will be done by a mail programme, which is running in this case on the STD35 and
which supports SMTP. For the user this process is invisible. This programme establishes a
connection to a SMTP server which will transport the e-mail to the given e-mail address with
the help of further SMTP servers if necessary.

To be able to use this service you must have an e-mail account with a mail provider (e.g. AOL
or Yahoo) and the following settings have to be made which are different for every mail
provider
Name of the SMTP Server (e.g. smtp.mailprovider.com or 192.168.234.12)
User name to register to the SMTP Server
Password to register to the SMTP Server
The device comes pre configured to use the free CEP email server. If the user
wishes to use there own email service it is important to note it must support plain
text authentification and Emails with no SSL-Encyption
To see which settings have to be used on the STD35 to be able to take advantage of this
service please read chapter 8.
3 Operating Conditions
Operate the STD35 only with a supply voltage between 7-32V DC and have in mind the
polarity! (see picture1) Use a stabilized power supply with minimum 1A output current. (We
recommend using only the original CEP power supply). If you use a mains adapter for power
supply it has to conform to the VDE regulations.
Loads connected to the device are not allowed to exceed 30 W per relay.
The maximum output voltage is 30 V AC/DC
The maximum switching power per relay is 1 A
When installing the device make sure that the supply cable has a sufficient diameter
During operation the temperature has to be between -30° and 75° Celsius.
Protect the PCB of the device from humidity, spray water and heat.
In case of condensation allow a period of about 2 hours for acclimatisation.
Do not operate the device in areas where inflammable gas, vapours, or dust are or could be
present.
Do not expose the device to heavy vibrations.
The unit may only be repaired by a specialist.
Only original parts have to be used when repairing the unit. The use of differing spare parts
can cause serious material loss or personal injury.
No special operation position of the device has to be observed.

4 Proper Use
The device is designed for the remote switching of devices via the GSM network as well as the
remote retrieval of status information of the inputs and the generation of SMS messages or e-
mails after status has changed at the inputs. A different utilization of the device other than the
one described above is not allowed.
5 Introduction
The STD35 is a telemetry module which is easy to install and simple to use. It can be
configured using any GSM mobile phone, SMS capable software, or the CEP STD35
configuration tool (sold separately).
With the STD35 you can control five relays and monitor the status of three digital and two
analog inputs with one or several common mobile phones.
Apart from the STD35 you only need a valid SIM Card of any network provider (GSM850 / 900
/ 1800 or 1900 MHz)
While using prepaid SIM-cards one shall always keep aware of the amount of remaining credit
left on the card, so that in case of alarms a message can be sent.
Typical fields of application are:
the opening of (garage) doors
switching on and off light and alarm devices as well as generating alarm messages (SMS or
e-mail)
the retrieval of information from door sensors, movement sensors or level sensors
etc.
You can for example open your garage door with a call or get a message (via SMS or e-mail) in
case your house alarm system gets triggered. In connection with the CEP camera you can get
a photo via e-mail when a movement sensor connected to the STD35 detects movement.

Connectors
As described in figure 1 the STD 35 has 3 Green Screw terminals. One connector is for the 5
inputs (3 digital and 2 analog/digital). Another connector is for the 5 outputs which are all
driven by relays. And the third screw terminal connector is for the power supply.
On the right side of the diagram an additional accessory interface connector is shown. This
connector is for use with the optional CMOS camera or the CEP Configuration tool.
ANT: connect the GSM antenna with FME-female connector here.
Please observe the maximum output voltage of the relays and the maximum input voltage of
the inputs! In chapter 3 “Operating conditions” you will find further information on this.

LED Signals
The STD35 has several LEDs which can be used to determine the current state of the device.
There are two power LEDs. A red power led that is illuminated when charging is taking place,
when not charging (battery full, or no charger is connected) it is off. A green power led saying
that is illuminated whenever the device is on. Normally this led reflects the state of the power
switch.
There is also a Yellow “COM” led it gives information regarding the current GSM status:
- stable in indicates the device is not currently booked into the GSM network
- blinking once every 2 seconds indicates the device is booked into the GSM network as
normal.
There are also separate red and green status LEDs. Under normal operating conditions these
two LEDs are not illuminated. However status red and status green can toggle if there is no
configuration yet (when in factory default state).
The status LEDs and GSM led (COM) will blink twice if no simcard (or an invalid simcard) has
been inserted. The status LEDs and GSM led (COM) will blink three times if the SIM PIN is
different than "0000" or "2468".
Switch:
There is also a small power switch between the power connector and the LEDs. This switch is
used to tum the device on and off.
