Section 1.4 STP Lite’s Features and Benefits
Some unique features of the STP Lite are:
Quad-Band GSM SMS/GPRS—allowing you to access and control
the STP Lite device via your cellular phone or the Internet
An RS232 interface for direct communication with the STP Lite
controller, as well as for user-defined purposes (PLC, PC, GPS to
any RS232 device)
An event report, which allows you to make the STP Lite send a
report to you via Serial Communication. (RS232). This way, the
user can create Word/Excel reports based on the data from the
STP.
Internal Li-Ion rechargeable backup battery, for sending a power
failure alarm (via SMS or GPRS) in case the main power supply is
cut off.
Accompanying the STP Lite is the Logic Flow Lite Configuration
software package. Some features of the Logic Flow Lite program are:
It allows you to program the STP Lite device to control a system
and do the desired controller tasks quickly and efficiently
It allows you to monitor your system.

Inputs The STP Lite supports 8 different types of input events, four external,
and four internal:
Table 1: STP Lite Inputs
External Input Description
DIGITAL INPUT: A digital sensor.
These can include:
Thermostat
Smoke detector
Motion sensor
SMS: An SMS message from your mobile phone.
INCOMING CALL: Allows the STP Lite to
respond to an incoming call (the STP will reject
the incoming call and only use the Caller ID, if
needed).
RS232: An RS232 message from any capable
device (for example, a computer or a PLC).
In addition, there are four other input events that the STP Lite
essentially can send to itself. These are shown in the following table:
Internal Input Description
TIMER:Triggers as timer event occures.
OUTPUT: To have the STP Lite respond to an
output change caused by a particular event.
DISARM: triggers when disarm status has
changed.
STARTUP: Performs the specified output event
when the device is started, or if the user presses
the Reset button.

Output Events
The STP Lite allows for 10 different types of output events and
messages. Six of the outputs are to external devices, while four are
internal messages that the STP Lite employs itself. The six outputs to
external devices are illustrated in the following table:
Table 2: Outputs from STP Lite
Output to External Device Description
DIGITAL OUTPUT: Dry contact output that can
be used for general control tasks.
SMS: An SMS message to your mobile phone.
GPRS: A GPRS message to your TPC/IP
Internet server.
OUTGOING CALL: Outgoing call to a predefined
phone number. The STP Lite will make the call
and hang up after one ring.
DISARM: disables/enables all output events.
RS232: An RS232 message to any capable
device (for example, a computer PLC).
The other four outputs are shown in the following table:
Output Description
TIMER--used to set up a defined amount of time
before timer is triggered.
RESET--Resets the device upon receiving the
specified input.
BUZZER--Makes the STP Lite unit emit a buzz.
ALARM--Makes the STP Lite unit emit a high
pitched alarm sound.

Hardware Description
The STP Lite, as the name implies, is a simplified model of the
Duetech Beres controllers. Here is a brief summary of the hardware the
STP Lite employs:
Packaging: The STP Lite is packaged in a small (72 x 90 x 50 mm)
polystyrene case. The casing allows for a DIN rail mount, to insure
ultimate safety and stability of the device.
Input and Output: The STP Lite allows for one digital input
(between 0-24 V DC) and one dry-contact output (a relay).
Figure 3: STP Lite Input and Output

STP Lite User Manual Revision 1.02
14
Durability: The STP Lite's operating temperature is between -30°C
to 85°C, allowing it to withstand the harshest conditions.
GSM technology: The STP Lite device is based on GSM/GPRS
network therefore a SIM card (not included in the STP Lite kit) must
be inserted before applying power.
Programmable: The STP Lite is a programmable controller: you
program its logic by means of the Logic Flow Lite software, and
write the commands to the device. An RJ45 cable communicates
with the STP Lite to write the commands from the serial port on
your computer to the STP Lite.
Indication LEDs: The STP Lite has two indicator LEDs: a red LED
indicating power supply to the device and device's processing, and
a green LED indicating whether the device is registered with the
cellular network.
Backup Battery: The STP Lite also features an internal
rechargeable Li-ion backup battery, which allows it to send a power
failure alarm, either via SMS or GPRS, in the event that the 9-24 V
DC main power fails.
Reset button: The STP Lite also features a reset button.

Section 3.2 Hardware Installation
The installation of the STP Lite can be completed in minutes. You will
need a pocket screwdriver (not supplied in the kit) to attach the power
supply, digital input and relay output—a 6-mm wide Phillips or flathead
screwdriver will do.
Mounting the STP Lite Unit
Mount the STP Lite by pushing or snap-fitting it onto a DIN rail (top-hat
rail 35 mm). Pull out the black tab on the STP Lite device using a
screwdriver, and snap the device onto the DIN rail. Ensure that the
retaining mechanism of the STP Lite snaps cleanly and securely onto
the DIN rail.

ATTENTION: Do not force the STP Lite onto the DIN rail. Forcing
the device on the rail may crack the black tab or the STP Lite casing,
and may seriously compromise the stability of the device.
DANGER:
The device must only be used in rooms that are dry and
clean. Protect the device from humidity, water or heat.
The device must not be used in environments containing
flammable gases, fumes or dust.
Do not subject the device to shock or severe vibrations.
Connecting the GSM Antenna
Screw the GSM antenna (included with the STP Lite device) onto
the STP Lite's antenna SMA connector.
The antenna serves the same purpose as the antenna of any
cellular phone. The antenna must be attached for optimal
performance of the device.

ATTENTION:
Do not insert or remove the SIM card when the power supply
or backup battery is attached. Doing so might result in
damage or loss of data on the SIM card!
Avoid touching the contacts of the SIM card. The SIM is
sensitive to electrostatic discharge.
If you are installing a used SIM card, insert the SIM in a
mobile phone first to ensure that the SIM doesn't contain any
saved SMS messages. These messages may cause the
STP Lite to malfunction.
Connecting the RJ45 cable
Connect the RJ45 cable (supplied with the STP Lite) to the STP Lite
unit via the socket labeled "COM".

Hook up the STP Lite to your computer by inserting the other end of
the RJ45 cable into the adapter.
Attaching the Relay Output
The Smart Terminal Plus Lite has one relay (dry-contact) output. The
output can be configured as either Normally Open (NO) or Normally
Closed (NC). The other lead of the relay output should be connected to
the C (Common) connection.
ATTENTION:
When attaching the inputs and outputs, be sure to use wire
within the range of 24-12 AWG (.205 - 3.31 mm2gauge).
