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.

3.4.2 Relocating the Antenna
Before permanently mounting the control panel with the GSM 1000 module in its final location, verify that
it is working as it should by following these steps:
Step 1: Make all connections between the GSM 1000 and the control panel.
Step 2: Power up the control panel.
Step3:ChecknumberofflashesonstatusLEDontheGSM1000module.IftheLEDflashesonlyonceevery
10 seconds then the antenna is in an acceptable location.
If a suitable location is not available with the antenna attached directly to the GSM 1000 module, obtain an
Antenna Extension Bracket kit from your DSC / Sur-Gard supplier. Each kit contains an extension cable, a
mounting bracket, instructions, and all required mounting hardware. Three lengths of extension cable are
available:
Extension Kit Length of Cable
LAE-1 1 m
LAE-5 5 m
LAE-8 8 m
Use only the Extension Kits to extend the mounting range of the antenna. Do not cut or splice the
extension cable.
Themaximumdistance between theGSM1000 and theantennais 8 metersasobtained
by using the LAE-8 Extension Kit. Make sure the antenna is in a physically secured location to avoid
tampering.
Secure the TNC connector from the Extension Kit to the mounting bracket, ensuring that the star washers
make solid electrical contact with the mounting bracket.
Remove the antenna from the GSM 1000 metal bracket and connect the extension cable to the TNC
connector on the bracket/cabinet. Secure the antenna to the TNC connector mounted on the Extension Kit
Mounting Bracket.
Locate the mounting bracket and antenna away from possible sources of electrical interference. Moving
the antenna just a short distance will likely be adequate. Temporarily secure the mounting bracket in the
new location and repeat steps 1 - 3 above. If the test gives a good result, perform a test transmission as
described in the “Testing the System” section of this manual.
IfthetestissuccessfulandthecellulartransmissioniscompletedwithoutaLossofCellularCommunication
trouble, permanently secure the mounting bracket and antenna at the new location.
If the cellular transmission is not completed successfully or there is a trouble indication, relocate the
mounting bracket and test the GSM 1000 again.
Note: Do not secure the mounting bracket in a way that would stretch or strain the extension cable. Rather
than try to strain the cable to reach a desired location, use a longer cable. When installation is complete,
secure the extension cable so that it does not dangle or hang loose from the cabinet or mounting bracket.

4.3 Programming the Control Panel
IMPORTANT NOTE
When a control panel is programmed for GSM 1000 operation, the PGM1 output is dedicated to the
GSM 1000 Communicator and cannot be used for other functions.
The GSM 1000 utilizes and relies on the features and functionality in DSC control panels which are
present for the Links1000 Communicator. Therefore, any reference in the control panel’s installa-
tion manual to Links1000 programming also applies to the GSM 1000.
4.3.1 Telephone Number Preamble
TheGSM1000receivesthetelephonenumbertodialfromthealarmcontrolpanel telephonenumber memory

SECTION 5 - TESTING
5.1 Testing the System
Before testing the GSM 1000 unit, ensure that the control panel is correctly programmed and operating
properly by performing a test transmission to the monitoring station over the normal telephone line. If
problemsareencounteredincommunicatingoverthenormaltelephoneline,ensurethatthecommunication
options, telephone numbers and account numbers are programmed properly in the control panel. The
control panel must be programmed properly in order for the GSM 1000 to operate.
Apply power to the whole system after all wiring connections have been made. Ten seconds after power
isappliedto the GSM1000unit, LED1 ontheunit will begintoflash. Observe LED1forat least 40seconds,
if LED1 flashes once every ten seconds, then the GSM unit is operating properly. If there is a trouble
condition, LED1 will flash either
four times or eight times in every ten seconds. Refer to the “Trouble
Indication” section of this manual.
5.1.1 Performing a Test Transmission
Contact the monitoring station to request a transmission test. Remove the telephone cord from the TELCO
jack. Perform a System Test as described in the control panel’s Installation Manual. When the test is
complete,contactthe monitoringstation toconfirmthe transmission.Performadditionaltesttransmissions
as required by the monitoring station.
Note: Whenever a cellular telephone call is answered by a receiver or another phone, cellular charges will
be applied to the cellular telephone account that placed the call. Therefore keep in mind that test signals
willincrementthecellularbill. If for somereasonthecall is established butthealarmsignalis not received,
the cellular account will still be billed. Please double check the installation before you test.
5.1.2 “On Air” Indication
Wheneverthe GSMunitiscommunicatingoverthecellular network,theredLED(LED1)ontheunit’s circuit
board will be energized. When communications are successfully completed and there are no troubles to
report,the LEDwillreturntoitsstandby indicationofoneflashevery10 seconds.Iftroubleconditionsexist,
the LED will flash 4 or more times every 10 seconds.
5.2 Trouble Shooting
If GSM 1000 does not communicate to the central monitoring station receiver, check the following before
calling Technical Support:
5.2.1 Check Wiring
A. Make sure T1 & R1 of the GSM 1000 are connected to TIP & RNG of the control panel.
B. Make sure the RED and BLK of the GSM 1000 are connected to RED and BLK of the control panel.
C. Make sure the BELL+ of the panel is connected to BELL IN of the GSM 1000. The BELL OUT should
be connected to the siren.
D. Make sure the proper resistor is in place on control panel PGM (see installation instructions).
E. Make sure the programmer is not plugged into the GSM 1000.
F. Make sure jumper J4 is removed.

18
5.2.2 Check Trouble LED
A. Check number of flashes on status LED. If the LED flashes more than once every ten seconds, refer
to Table 1 in the “Trouble Indication”section and correct the indicated problem.
B. Fourflashesindicatesbadcommunicationswiththecellularnetwork.Tryaddinganextension antenna
and relocating the antenna.
C. Eightflashes indicatesa badPGM connection.Checkthatthewirefromthecontrolpanel’sPGMto the
GSM 1000 PGM is correct and that the correct resistor is in place. Next, check that the power
connections(RED, BLK,BELL+)betweenthepaneland theGSM1000aregood.Lastly,verifythat the
control panel is programmed for GSM 1000 operation.
5.2.3 Other Checks
A. Connecta telephonehandsettoTIP& RINGof thecontrolpanel. Senda signalthroughtheGSM1000.
Listen to the handset. If a ‘network’ message is heard, make note of it and follow the instructions. For
instance; the network message says “you must first dial a 1 or zero before placing this call”. The
telephone number in the control panel probably requires a ‘Preamble’.
B. Check cellular activation. Call the cellular number of the GSM 1000. If the GSM 1000 is properly
activated but turned off, the network message should say “the cellular customer you have called is
unavailable or has travelled outside of the coverage area”. If the GSM 1000 cellular number is called
andthe GSM1000isturnedon(and downloadingisnotenabledandconnected), themessageshould
say“Thecustomeryouhavecalledisunavailable”,orit willsimplyhangup(thiswouldoccuraftermany
rings). If the cellular number is not activated the message will say “the number you have called is not
in service”. Call the cellular service provider and check the activation. Be prepared with the GSM
Cellular Service Provider Information.
C. If you continue to experience difficulties, try sending a signal through the GSM 1000 and listen for the
black relay on the GSM 1000 board to ‘click’. This indicates that the GSM 1000 is receiving the central
station telephone number via the control panel PGM output. If after that the red trouble LED stays on
steady, the GSM is transmitting. If it does not, the GSM 1000 can not find a voice channel. The panel
will time-out and attempt the call again. Try using an antenna extension kit to relocate the antenna.
Note: Do not disconnect the telephone line between the GSM 1000 and control panel when testing. Only
disconnect the telephone line at the TELCO jack when testing the GSM 1000.
5.3 Trouble Indication
The GSM 1000 automatically monitors its operation and indicates trouble conditions by flashing LED1 on
the circuit board. LED1 normally flashes once every 10 seconds when the GSM 1000 is in standby (ready
to transmit) mode. Troubles are indicated when LED1 flashes more than once at each 10 second interval.
Shown below is the number of flashes used to indicate each trouble condition. If more than one trouble is
present, only the first trouble is indicated. When that trouble is cleared, the next will be indicated.
The GSM 1000 uses a 30-second delay timer for all troubles. The status LED will flash as soon as the
conditionisdetected,buttheTBLoutputwillnotbeactivateduntiltheconditionhasexistedfor30seconds.
