Inserting the SIM Card
Before you insert the SIM Card into your device, you must
deactivate the PIN code with a mobile phone. It is also rec-
ommended that the telephone answering machine and all addi-
tional functions of the telephone operator are deactivated.
Also make sure that your SIM card has credit and, if new,
verify that it is correctly activated by trying to send SMS
messages.
SMSB121TH works with prepaid SIM cards or both voice and data
subscription. However, having many inputs, it is possible that
the credit will quickly run out and this would cause the
normal operating logic of the device to be blocked. Therefore,
it is recommended to use SIM Card subscription, in particular
SIM DATA since they have a preferential channel for data
transmission, and also these are exempt from government con-
cession fees.
Insert the SIM card into the device slot with the contacts
facing downwards (see figure).
If you choose to use a prepaid SIM Card, the SMSB121TH has a
credit check function: we recommend that you activate it to
keep the remaining credit under control.

Sensors
SMSB121TH integrates a sensor able to keep under
control the temperature and humidity of the room
in which it is installed. Thanks to the "thermo-
stat" and "hygrostat" functions, it is possible to
program the threshold at which the relay is acti-
vated automatically. In addition, up to 4 temper-
ature alarm thresholds can be configured.
Note: The thermostat and hygrostat functions cannot
be activated simultaneously.
The sensor measurement is to be considered "indic-
ative" as the internal temperature of the product
can be influenced by the following factors:
•Relay load
•Use of SMS or DATA
•Signal level
•Installation
Sensor can be calibrated using the sensor section.
Before calibrating, we recommend that you keep the
device in a safe place for at least one hour after
installation.
Digital inputs
Digital inputs allow the user to send specific events
of the system to which the appliance is connected,
such as, for example, a boiler block or power fail-
ure, as well as opening a valve, etc.
SMSB121TH has two alarm inputs, each of which allows
you to send users an SMS both when opening and clos-
ing the contact. The text of each event can be cus-
tomized; it is also possible to delay the event in
order to avoid false alarms.
Contact type
You can set the type of contact you use in the in-
stallation:
•Dry contact: to generate an alarm, connect to a
potential-free contact (e.g. a switch) and short-
circuit it to ground (GND).
•Wet contact: to generate an alarm, connect a volt-
age from 3 to 24V to the desired input.
Alarm Event
You can set whether the alarm event is generated when
the contact is closed (to ground) or opened.
If the contact is "clean", or high or low level if
"live".
Analog input
SMSB121TH has an analog alarm input configurable
with probes of type 0-10V; 0-20mA; 4-20mA, PT100
and PT1000. Up to four distinct thresholds can be
configured.
Note: Refer to the installation diagram to set the
configuration switches correctly for the chosen
probe.

Relay output
Response Message
The relay can be operated from a console or via
SMS (see chapter 'SMS commands').
When sending a power on or power off command, the
SMSB121TH responds with a standard notification SMS
('ON' for 'COM-NO' status, 'OFF' for 'COM-NC')
Telephone call
The device is able to store a list of telephone
numbers with the relative names (max 1000) enabled
to activate and/or deactivate the selected relay
output with a simple telephone ring at no cost. The
device recognizes the incoming call and immediately
abates it, while activating the system to which it
is connected. This function can be configured in
the following ways:
Exchange: the simple relay exchange (ON/OFF) is
carried out
Pulse: A programmable pulse of 1-65535 seconds is
performed
The user also has the option of activating the SMS
reply option, which allows an SMS confirming the
command.
Power supply failure
This feature allows selected users to receive a
notification message when power failure and/or
power reset occurs. The device is equipped with a
lithium battery to perform this function.
N.B. If the power supply should be interrupted for
a long time and the battery is completely dis-
charged; before accessing the device, it is neces-
sary to wait at least 30 minutes before being able
to send the SMS.
