SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
1.1 GSM 1000
The GSM 1000 Cellular Alarm Transmitter enhances the protection provided by a security system by
providing a reliable backup to the control panel’s normal telephone communications with the monitoring
station. The GSM 1000 works with the DSC Security Control Panels described in the Specifications below.
If the control panel is unable to complete an alarm transmission through the normal telephone line, due to
any line problems, the GSM 1000 will be activated and will transmit the alarm communication over the
cellular network. The GSM 1000 works automatically.

IMPORTANT NOTE
A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and, if included, a
monitoring station, of an emergency situation. Security systems are generally very reliable but they
may not work under all conditions and they are not a substitute for prudent security practices or life
and property insurance.Your security system should be installed and serviced by qualified security
professionals who should instruct you on the level of protection that has been provided and on
system operations.

SECTION 2 - FUNCTIONS
2.1 Sending an Alarm
When an event has occurred and a reporting code signal has to be sent to the monitoring station (i.e. an
alarm), the signal can be transmitted via the GSM network as a backup, primary* or redundant*
communicator. Please refer to the “Programming the Control Panel” section in this manual.
Backup
The control panel will check the telephone line for dial tone. If no dial tone is detected, the control panel
switches its communications path through the GSM 1000.
Primary
Thecontrolpanelwillnottrythetelephoneline,butwillimmediatelysendthesignalthroughtheGSM1000.
Redundant
The control panel will send the signal through the telephone line. It will attempt the call via the telephone
line until successful, or until the programmed maximum dialing attempts has been reached. After the
attemptonthetelephoneline,thepanelwillalwaysswitchtotheGSM1000tocommunicatethesamesignal.
* MAXSYS panels (PC40X0) can only use the GSM 1000 as a backup communicator.
2.2 Trouble Supervision
TheGSM1000monitorsitselffortwopossibletroubleconditions:PGMConnectiontothecontrolpanel,and
LossofCellularCommunications.LED1ontheGSM1000moduleisusedtoidentifywhichtroublecondition
is present. When a trouble condition is present, the TBL output will switch low, which in turn can trigger a
zone input on the control panel. Please refer to the “Trouble Indication” section in this manual for specific
detail on the trouble conditions and operation of LED1.
2.3 Antenna Tamper
TheantennatamperswitchmoduleprovidesextratampersecurityfortheGSM1000antenna.Notethatthis
tamper switch is effective if the antenna is mounted right at the module (no extension cable) and if the
antenna bracket on the GSM 1000 module is used. The switch dimensions are such that they fit on the
moduleexactlyifusedwith antennamounting bracket.Thereforeif theantenna isrelocatedtofitin another
hole, the tamper switch will generally be ineffective. Please refer to the diagram and mounting instruction
in the “Mounting the Antenna” section.
2.4 Downloading
If your GSM network has the required support, the GSM 1000 can be used for Downloading purposes to
aDSCcontrolpanel.ThisoptionalfeaturecanbeusediftheGSMnetworksupportsmodemcommunications
on its voice channel. Please refer to the RNG Terminal and Connection Diagram for proper connections.
Also, ensure Option 05 has been programmed accordingly, as indicted in “Programming the GSM 1000”
section in this manual.
Note: Downloading will only work if your GSM network supports SIA.
2.5 Emergency Calling
TheGSM1000iscapableofmakinganemergencycallviatheGSMnetwork,forsuchcasesaswhentheregular
telephone line is down. Simply by pressing the emergency button, the GSM 1000 will dial the preprogrammed
emergency telephone number. Please refer to the connection diagram in the “Panic Terminal” section and
telephone number programming in the “Programming the GSM 1000” section in this manual.
Note: It is recommended that the preprogrammed emergency number be that of a station with a 24-hr
attendant, such as your local monitoring station.

SECTION 3 - INSTALLATION
3.1 Cellular Communications
All cellular telephones, including the GSM 1000, must ‘register’ with the cellular network. ‘Registration’ is
simplyahandshakebetween the MobileservicesSwitching Centre and theGSM1000. During handshake
theinformationstored intheSIM cardis transmittedtothe GSMcell-siteand thecell-site–upon verification
of data- will send an authorisation back to the GSM 1000. It is therefore very important that a PIN number
beprogrammed intotheGSM1000
before attempting toconnecttothenetwork.Registration isdoneupon
power up of the GSM 1000 and whenever requested by the network. If the GSM 1000 does not register the
network will not complete a call.
3.1.1 Arranging for Cellular Service
In order for the GSM 1000 to communicate via the cellular telephone network, an account must be set up
with a cellular network operator. The ‘account’ is simply a matter of establishing the billing information for
the cellular service. In return, the cellular carrier will provide you with a SIM card with PIN-number and a
telephone number for your GSM 1000. Cellular service may vary in price and coverage. Check with your
GSM service provider for area coverage maps and service charges.
3.1.2 Inserting SIM Card
Whenyouhave obtainedaSIM card fromyourGSM serviceprovider,
insertitintotheSIMCardsocket(SIMLock)ontheGSM1000module.
Simplyslidethecoverto therightandpullopen.Theninsertyourcard
and close the lid.
3.2 Mounting Module in Cabinet
The metal bracket that accommodates the GSM 1000 is mounted in the upper right hand corner of the
control panel cabinet with the antenna going through the knock out. The GSM 1000 mounting bracket
attachestothepanelcabinetthroughtheuseofclipsandscrews.Pleasenote,however,thattheclips(metal
teeth) make it purposely difficult to remove the module once it is installed. Because of the nature of the
installation, it may be difficult to access the connection terminals of the control panel. It is therefore
recommended that wiring connections be made to the control panel before the module is installed.
There may be situations where the cabinet you are using does not accommodate the antenna mount
location properly. In such cases, you may order an optional cabinet, which will fit the GSM 1000 module
properly. You may also remove the antenna mast from the antenna bracket of the GSM 1000 module, and
reattach it through another hole in the cabinet you are using. Please ensure that antenna mast does not
contact the cabinet.
Note:Ifitisnotpossible to installtheantennawiththe antenna mastfastenedtotheantenna bracket ofthe
GSM 1000 module (i.e. relocating to another knock out), the antenna tamper switch cannot be used
effectively.
The GSM 1000 should not be located near sources of interference. These sources include EMI
(Electromagnetic Interference) generated by television or heavy electric motors, such as those found in
heating or air conditioning units.

3.3 Terminal Descriptions
DonotconnectthetransformerorthebatterytothecontrolpaneluntilallotherwiringbetweentheGSM1000
moduleandthecontrolpanel, includingantenna connection,hasbeen completedand checked.Incorrect
wiring connections may cause the GSM 1000 unit to operate improperly. Please refer to the hookup
diagrams in the manual for the appropriate control panel that is used with the GSM 1000 module.
3.3.1 Earth Ground Terminal
Connect the GSM 1000 “EGND” terminal to the control panel “EGND” terminal. Connect a ground cable
fromtheCabinet Ground connectiontoan earthground,such asacoppercold waterpipe,by theshortest
and most direct route. Ensure that the cold water pipe connection provides path to ground.
Do not make
the ground connection to a plastic cold water pipe!
3.3.2 Telephone Line Terminals
The control panel TIP and RING are always used as the communications paths for the alarm signal. The
GSM1000controlswhetherthesignalisroutedthroughtotheregular telephoneline(PSTN)orviatheGSM
network. If the alarm signal is to go through the GSM network, the regular telephone line (TIP and RING of
GSM 1000) is disconnected.
3.3.3 BELL IN and BELL OUT Terminals
The GSM1000 module requires short durations of high current. The DSC control panel Bell output can
provide this current when the GSM1000 is transmitting. Please be sure to connect the Bell In and Bell Out
terminals as shown in the connection wiring diagrams.
3.3.4 Power Supply Connection
