1Description
1.1 Summary
The GSM-PRO2(E) is a compact remote control and messaging system. All IOs are monitored by SMS and email
and controlled by SMS communication through the GSM network.
The module can be configured with the GSM-PRO2 PC-software. Each IO can be modified by user-defined
parameter names and messages. A selected group of users can be chosen from the phonebook to control the
module, or only receive messages.
On each defined input status change (rising or falling flank for digital inputs or reached level for analog inputs)
the module sends a pre- or user-defined message to the selected group of users.
The outputs can be set when a selected user sends a pre- or user-defined SMS to the GSM-PRO2(E).
The GSM-PRO2(E) sends a periodical message on user defined times. On power loss the module holds enough
power to send SMS messages to a selected group of users. It also sends messages when coming back from a
power reset.
1.2 Module types
The GSM-PRO2 consists of the modules as described below. For images and connection examples in his
document the outline of the GSM-PRO2 is used.
When referring to a GSM-PRO2(E) in this document it is recalled as ‘the (a) module’.
The GSM-PRO2(E) comes in 4 variations: with or without GPS, with or without 4G.
GSM-PRO2
•1 Digital Output (DO), relay CO contact 250V/5A
•1 counter input
•2 Universal Inputs (UI) which can be set by software as:
-Analog Input (AI), 0..10V
-Digital Input (DI)
GSM-PRO2E
•4 Digital Outputs (DO), relay CO contacts 250V/5A
•1 counter input
•10 Universal Inputs (UI) which can be set by software as:
-Analog Input (AI), 0..10V
-Digital Input (DI)
1.3 Safety instructions
•This device is NOT suitable for monitoring sensible or time critical processes. Power interruption or
GSM network failures do not guarantee flawless monitoring.
•Keep ESD precautions in mind when opening the module.
•This module can require a GSM data connection (GPRS or 3G). For information about costs ask your
GSM service provider.

2Software
Download the latest GSM-PRO2 interface software at:
http://www.conta-clip.com/en/service/
2.1 System requirements
The following requirements are needed to run and use the software properly:
•Windows 7, 8, 10
•USB port
•Internet connection
2.2 Software installation
As the program needs to install hardware drivers make sure you have administrator rights.
Run the GSM-PRO2_setup.exe to install the application. The setup wizard will guide you through the rest of the
setup process.
After starting the GSM-PRO2 user interface set the language by: Settings (Gearbox Icon) -> Language. The
chosen language is saved and recalled at start up.

3Module
NOTE: Keep ESD precautions in mind when opening the module.
3.1 Place the SIM card
NOTE: Place or replace the SIM card only with the power supply turned off.
Place a Nano SIM card into the SIM card holder to access the GSM network:
•Lift the lid with a small flat screwdriver.
•Place a SIM card into the SIM card holder (image may vary).
•Replace the lid.
When a wrong PIN number is given 3 times the SIM card is locked and requests the PUK code. The diagnostics
shows this in the error message. Access the ‘advanced settings’ by clicking the ‘gearbox’ icon. Insert the correct
PUK and PIN code and click ‘insert PUK code’

3.2 Connect the antenna
Connect the GSM antenna on the GSM connector on the module. Connect the GPS antenna on the GPS
connector on the module.
3.3 Connect to power
Connect the 24V and 0V to a 24VDC power supply (10..30VDC).

3.4 Connect to PC
With the lid removed, connect a USB cable to the micro USB socket on the module, and the other end to a USB
port on a PC.
NOTE: Make sure to install the interface software and drivers before connecting the module to a PC.
3.5 LED description
3.5.1 Module status indication
After connecting the power it takes about 10 seconds before the first Led activates.
The Led ‘Run’ indicates module activity:
•Flash = starting-up (takes about 90 seconds)
•ON = ready for use (blinks every 10 seconds)
•OFF = no power
The Led ‘Com’ indicates network activity:
•green ON = connected to GSM network
•green Flash = roaming GSM network
•green OFF = not connected to GSM network
•red ON = error (see diagnostics)
The Led ‘Busy’ indicates module activity:
•ON = module currently busy
After data transfers between the PC and the module, the module performs a reset.
