UCM/4G
This is the UCM/4G Quick Start Guide. Please download the full UCM/4G
Manual from http://www.c tech.biz/ucmgsm_manual.html
The UCM/4G provides a 4G (LTE) cellular network connection to Comfort. This
gives Comfort the following abilities;
•Acts as a backup for alarm dialout when the land line is fault or cut. Alternatel ,
it can be used as the primar dialler without a fixed telephone line, for
installations where a telephone line is not available.
•Allows the user to dial to the GSM number instead of the fixed telephone line to
access Comfort menus.
•Allows Comfort to report alarms to the users mobile phones via SMS. The SMS
message will show time stamp, Text Identification, Alarm t pe and Zone or User
name.
•Allows authorised Mobile phones to send commands to control or check the
status of appliances and the securit s stem via SMS. Each Phone can be
independentl authorised to arm, disarm, and access automation control.
•Allows date and time update b Internet Time servers
The UCM/4G requires a Nano SIM card to be inserted, just like with a cellular
phone. This can be a prepaid card, or one which is billed monthl according to a
usage plan.

SIM Card
A Nano- SIM Card must be used in the GSM Module. This ma be a prepaid or
postpaid card. However, note that a prepaid card does not inform the user
when the amount remaining has been used up. The SIM card or plan must
allow sending of SMS. Push/Insert the SIM Card with the edge woth slanted
corner first into the SIM Card holder. Remove b pulling the SIM Card out in the
oppositte direction.
Caller ID must be enabled to allow the GSNM Module to accept SMS commands
froma mobile phone.
If using a prepaid SIM card, check if the SIM card needs to be activated before
use. Please check the instructions from the Carrier.
•The SIM card must not be password-protected.
The SIM card will come with a telephone number. Use this number to dial or
send SMS to the s stem via the GSM module

*Subject to change without prior notice
Settings
Connections (on Baseboard)
•JP3 - 12V/COM terminal block. Connect to 12V/COM on Comfort if JP2/2A not
used. Do not connect if JP2/2A is used to connect back to Comfort.

not connect if JP2/2A is used to connect to Comfort.
•JP2 and JP2A - 4 wa headers (12V/COM/KA/KB). Either connector can be
connected to Comfort’s J6 connector via the supplied cable when JP3 and JP4 are
not used. This plug-in cable connection is used when the distance between the
controller and UCM/4G is less than 30 centimetres. For longer distances, use the
JP3 and JP4 terminal blocks
Connections (on Daughterboard)
•J3 – 5-wa connector for voice connection. The 5 wa audio cable is to be
connected from J3 to J54 (GSM) connector on Comfort II.
•U4 – SIM card holder.
•USB (P2) for firmware upgrade (for future use)
•J1, J2 - Antenna connectors. Connect GSM antenna to J1 onl .

Table 1 - UCM ID shunt Settings
B convention, ID=1 is reserved for UCM/USB, Wifi or ETH for writing/reading
configuration file. The UCM/4G should be set to ID 2 or above so that an
RS485 communications failure can be reported b Comfort.
Press RESET on the UCM/4G after changing the ID settings.
Modules and Settings > Number of UCMs must be programmed according to
the number of UCMs connected. Press RESET on Comfort after changing the
number of UCMs or other modules.
•SW8 – positions A to G are unused. H is open for normal operations and shunted
to indicate signal strength on the LEDs (refer to “Signal Strength Indicators”)
Buttons
•SW1 - RESET. This button resets the UCM/4G module. It does not change an
parameters in Comfort.
LED Indicators (on UCM)
•D1 “RDY” (Green) – should be on at all times during normal operations
•D2 “BUSY1” (Red) – indicates when initialisation or communications error has
occurred
•D3 “BUSY2” (Red) – indicates call in progress
•D4 “ERR” (Red) – error indicator, normall no network
•D9 (Red) – RS485 Transmit to Comfort
•D10 (Green) – RS485 Receive from Comfort
The LEDs also show the signal strength with SW8-H is shunted. Refer to the
following table for the meaning of the LED combinations.
RDY BUSY1 BUSY2 ERR Meaning
On On - - Initialising or GSM Network Error
On - On - Call in rogress
On - - On No GSM Network
- On On - No SIM Card or SIM Error
- On - On SIM card requires IN code
On On - On U2 EE ROMError
On - - - Normal Operation, Idle
- - - - * Signal Strength 0 (Bad)
- - - On * Signal Strength 1 ( oor)
- - On On * Signal Strength 2 (Fair)
- On On On * Signal Strength 3 (Good)
On On On On * Signal Strength 4, 5 (Excellent)
Table 2 - LED Status
SW8-H is shunted for GSM signal strength indication, remove for normal
operation.
The Signal Strength is updated ever 8 seconds. Note that shunting SW8-H
overrides the GSM operation LED status indication
DO NOT shunt SW8-H during reset, otherwise the UCM/4G will report signal
strength of 0 to Comfort and the GSM will not be operational until a change in
signal strength is detected. Also DO NOT keep SW8-H shunted permanentl to
avoid this problem in case the UCM is reset for an reason. Alwa s remove the
shunt after checking the signal strength.

UCM/4G Quick Start Guide
•In Comfigurator the GSM status and signal strength is shown on the
status bar on the UCMGSM Modules screen
LED Indicators (on SM Submodule)
•STATUS (D3) Red - flashes slowl for 3G, Fast for LTE/4G connection
•PWR (Green) – indicates power is supplied to the GSM submodule.
ICs
•U1 - Microcontroller IC. Label indicates the firmware version number GSM 7.xxx
•U5 - RS485 Interface to Comfort.
•U2 - 256K bits EEPROM 24LC256
UCM RS485 ID Switch
Comfort is able to support up to 8 UCMs. SW7 is a set of 3 headers which
determines the UCM ID, according to Table 1.
Mounting UCM/4G
Care must be taken to ensure that the antenna is not mounted in an metal
casing to ensure there is GSM coverage. The UCM/4G ma be mounted
internall in an enclosure with the antenna mounted outside.
Normall the UCM/4G must be mounted in the same enclosure as Comfort
because of the length of the 5 wa audio cable from J54 on Comfort and the
UCM/4G. If this location does not have sufficient network signal, there is a wa
to allow the UCM/4G to be mounted in another room or location.
The ADM02 (Auxiliar Distribution Module) shown below has terminal blocks
and connectors for the 4 wa cable to allow more connections to be made to
Comfort. There is a 5 wa connector marked J54 and “GSM” on the ADM02.
Connect the 5 wa audio cable from this connector to J54 on Comfort. Use a
shielded CAT5 cable to connect the terminal blocks marked SP+, SP-, MIC+,
MIC- to the same terminals on another ADM02 in the location where the
UCM/4G is to be mounted. Use another CAT5 cable to connect the 4 signals
12V, GND, KA, KB between the 2 ADM02s. From the second ADM02, connect
another 5 wa audio cable from this ADM02 to J54 on the UCM/4G. The ADM02
is supplied with a 4 wa RS485 cable and a 5 wa audio cable.

Setup
UCM/4G - UCM Baseboard ith GSM submodule
•Insert a Nano SIM card into the SIM card holder b pushing the top edge with
the slanted corner facing inwards. The SIM card must not be password
protected. Disable password protection if applicable.
•Connect the antenna, and connect J3 on the UCM/4G to J54 (GSM) on CM9001
via the 5-wa cable provided.
•Before connecting the power to UCM/4G from Comfort, the ID on SW7 must be
set according to Table 1, i.e. the ID has to be set according to the number of
UCMs in the s stem. If there is onl 1 UCM, the ID on the UCM/4G must be set
to 2. B convention, ID 1 is reserved for writing and reading from Comfort, and
is not reported in case of Communications Failure. Comfort supports a
combination of 8 UCMs.
•The UCM/4G power is connected to Comfort via the supplied 4 wa white cable
from the 4 pin header JP2 Comfort II’s RS485 header. This supplies power to the
UCM/4G, as well as allowing communications between Comfort and the UCM/4G.
It is not necessar to switch off the power to Comfort before plugging in this
connection.
•The RDY LED (green) should be turned on, indicating that the UCM firmware is
running. The BUSY1 LED will be on while the UCM/4G is establishing the GSM
network connection.

UCM/4G Quick Start Guide
•The LEDs D9 (red) and D10 (green) on UCM/4G should blink rapidl showing
that RS485 communications has been established between Comfort and the
UCM.
•The red LED on the daughterboard should be stead on to indicate that there is
power supplied to the daughterboard. BUSY1 LED should go off. If there is no
network, BUSY1 will turn off and ERROR will turn on. The UCM/4G will
periodicall tr to communicate with the network ever 10 seconds.
•BUSY2 LED will turn on when there is a call in progress
