1. GENERAL INFORMATION
LX1NB-5L is a SMS/GPRS switch in an IP65 plastic enclosure for the control of gates, doors,
lighting, pumps, Generators, HVAC etc with CLIP or SMS.
1.1. CAPABILITIES
LX1NB-5L offers the control of a relay with NC and NO outputs. Up to 5 Administrators
and 500 Users can be configured.
The Transmitter offers:
clip functionality
callback option
“allow all” option
periodic status information messages
account balance check
1.2. FUNCTIONALITY
1.2.1. Relay output
The relay output can be activated either by a user’s call or by an admin’s SMS
command. It can be configured to activate for a set amount of timed or toggle mode.
Toggle mode means that the output state will change every time a user call is
detected.
1.2.2. Clip and callback
The device will reject every call after 3 or 4 rings. If the calling number is authorized,
the relay will be activated. If a callback option is activated, LX will return a call to the
user.
1.2.3. Administrators
Administrators can configure the device using SMS commands explained below.
They cannot activate the relay by CLIP unless they are programmed as a user, they
can activate the relay by sending an SMS command. Up to 5 administrators can be
programmed.
1.2.4. Users
Users can call the device in order to activate the relay. Up to 500 users can be
programmed. A call from a non-users number will not activate the relay.
NOTE: It is possible to program the same phone number for both
administrators and users. In that case this number will be authorized to
perform actions available for both groups.

MANUFACTURER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO AMEND APPEARANCE OF PRINTED CIRCUIT
WITH NO EFFECT ON FUNCTIONALITY OF DEVICE.
1.3.5. Installation and wiring
All connections must be made with the power off.
Connections of wires shall be made with due care to prevent any faults or dead
shorts.
Wires should enter the enclosure using the installed cable glands.
The device is equipped with a built-in GSM antenna. In areas with poor GSM
signal it is possible to use an external GSM antenna. (Not included in the kit). In
order to wire the external antenna connector into the housing, remove one of the
cable glands and insert the supplied rubber grommet.
After checking all the connections, you can connect an external power supply.

1.3.6. Input configuration
Inputs IN1 - IN4 can work as normally closed (NC) or normally open (NO).
Additionally inputs might be configured as end of line (EOL-NO or EOL-NC) with
resistors 2,2kΩor as double end of line (DEOL-NO or DEOL-NC) with resistor
1,1kΩ.

2. INSTALLATION
CAUTION!
For the device to work properly, voice mail has to be disabled
2.1. FIRST RUN
CAUTION!
SIM Card has to be removed from the device before first run
Please switch the power supply off before following any of the below instructions.
Device can be configured either by using SMS commands or by provided Configuration
Tool:
If you intend to use Configuration Tool, please connect the programming cable
and select the programming mode. Switch the power supply on. Please refer to
chapter 3.1 for further instructions.
If you intend to configure the device by SMS Commands, please either set SIM
Card’s PIN to “1111” or disable it. You can insert the SIM card into the SIM Card’s
slot now. Switch the power supply on. Please refer to chapter 3.2 for further
instructions.
2.2. RESTORING DEFAULT PARAMETERS
You can restore default configuration by following these steps:
1. Turn off the power supply
2. Press and hold the PROG button
3. Turn on power supply –ST and OK LEDS should turn on
4. Wait for ST and OK LEDS to start flashing
5. Release PROG switch.
Default configuration has now been restored.
Restoring factory defaults configures the device as follows:
Administrators are cleared
Call back option is turned off
“Allow any” option is turned off
Periodic status info is turned off
Account balance check code cleared
Admin password reset to “0000”
User’s memory is NOT affected by this operation, to clear user’s memory,
