This telemetry system is designed to be used in conjunction with the AlertMaxx high level alarm and has the
ability to connect with the PowerMaxx battery backup, to give remote monitoring of a pump station when
the home owner is away from their property. Messages are sent to predetermined phone numbers using
GSM technology and are received in text format.

4.0 Unit location
The MessageMaxx must be positioned within 20m of the AlertMaxx unit it will be used in conjunction with,
somewhere with a good GSM signal, within 3m of the aerial mounting point and be permanently accessible.
MaxxConnect cable can be purchased per 10m (DMS-288). Do not join cables. Run full lengths only.
6.0 Mounting the MessageMaxx unit
1. Using the template provided on page 15 of this instruction manual (gure 1), mark the xing
positions on the wall.
2. Drill the two holes and t suitable wall plugs (ensure correct wall plugs are used for the wall type).
3. Remove the screws from the front of the unit that secure the front fascia and remove the black GSM unit
from the Velcro holding it within the casing.
4. Secure the MessageMaxx unit to the wall using appropriate screws.
PLEASE NOTE
When securing the unit to the wall, avoid over tightening the screws as this may cause the box to crack.
5.0 SIM card selection
1. Purchase a functioning traditional contract SIM card. This doesn’t require a minutes or data allowance,
just be enabled to send text messages. The SIM card must have no pin number assigned to it.
2. If possible, test the SIM card in an unblocked telephone on site and survey the area for the best signal
strength for aerial placement.
3. Once an area of installation for the aerial has been chosen, proceed as below.
CAUTION!
The MessageMaxx unit is not waterproof and must be installed indoors or inside a kiosk.

push down and lock shut. Replace the black cover.
3. Install the supplied large cable gland into the far right hand hole and a small cable gland into the far left
hand hole of the casing. Use the supplied blanking plugs to ll the remaining holes.
4. Feed the plug of the aerial through the large cable gland, screw into the silver socket on the
GSM unit and tighten the cable gland (see gure 2).
5. Push and x the GSM box on to the Velcro within the casing until a audible click is heard.

9.0 Installing the GSM aerial
1. Prior to testing, position the aerial in the preferred mounting location - do not x. The aerial is magnetic
and should be stuck to the mounting plate (provided). This has been designed to boost the signal.
2. Set the internal switch on the PCB to the ‘SIG’ position (see gure 3).
3. The LED’s will illuminate as below.
Red LED Blue LED Green LED Signal Strength
Solid Quick ash Very strong
Solid Medium ash Sucient
Solid Slow ash Weak
Solid No ash 0%
4. If a sucient signal strength isn’t achieved, move the aerial and run the test again.
5. When complete, set the internal switch on the PCB to the ‘RUN’ position and ret the front fascia.

15.0 Servicing
The MessageMaxx unit will alert home owners when their pump station requires servicing. This is indicated
by the blue LED ashing every second. The service interval light is driven by the other units installed in the
MaxxConnect family.
The AlertMaxx unit has a factory default service interval of 12 months.
The PowerMaxx unit has a factory default service interval of a maximum of 3 years (this will reduce
depending on the battery usage).
The text message response time of the unit is normally <20 seconds. The network operators and Delta
Membranes do not give 100% guarantee of delivery. This implies that there will be no guarantee that a text
message will be forwarded in a timely manner, or even at all.
