Instructions
SIM Active Function
Our GSM Auto Dialler comes with a SIM Active function meaning that it will send a
message every six weeks to a preprogrammed number we at GSM Activate own to
prevent the SIM card being shut down due to inactivity.
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
Please make sure you disconnect the power when you t the simcard. Unlock the simcard
Holder by using square gap and pushing downwards and then slide in the simcard, making
sure that the clipped corner of the simcard is downwards to the board, and then lock back
into place .
Signal Strength
To help make sure that you place the unit in a suitable position you can text the unit to see
how much signal strength the dialler is receiving by texting the command
#SIGNAL#
You will then receive a text message telling you the signal strength score between 0 up to
30.We strongly recommend that you place the unit where you can receive a signal strength
score of at least 10. You will nd anything below this will make the unit unreliable.
It is worth trying the signal strength test on both 2G and 4G (see overleaf for dipswitch instructions)

Dipswitch
The dialler can work on 2G & 4G networks. The module works worldwide with all
simcards (see page 3 for applicable bands). You can choose which frequency the unit will
use at the start by using the dipswitch combinations below
Dipswitch 1 Set to OFF = Unit boots up in 2G
Dipswitch 1 Set to ON = Unit boots up in 4G
Dipswitch 2 not used Programming the Contact Numbers
After inserting your simcard into the Auto Dialler turn the unit on and wait until you see the
GREEN LED is on. This will indicate that you have a mobile signal and the unit is ready for
Use.
You will now need to send a text with the contact numbers (maximum 5 contact numbers).
To avoid confusion we have colour coded the (#) hash and (=) equals symbols.
Example (hash) (1,2,3,4 or 5) (equals) (phone number) (hash)
#1=07123456789#send this as a text to the simcard number in the unit for contact no:1
#2=07234567891#send this as a text to the simcard number in the unit for contact no:2
#3=07234567867#send this as a text to the simcard number in the unit for contact no:3
#4=07234567822#send this as a text to the simcard number in the unit for contact no:4
#5=07345678912#send this as a text to the simcard number in the unit for contact no:5
Please exchange the mobile numbers for your contact numbers
If you wish to cancel a number follow this example
Example: (hash) (1,2,3,4 or 5) (equals) (DELETE) (hash)
#1=DELETE# This deletes contact number 1
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
Please send one message at a time and wait for the Auto Dialler to respond with the text
message acknowledgment “NUMBER STORED” before you try to add another number.
Below is a notepad to help you to remember which numbers you have saved to which
location in the event you need to modify or delete them in the future.
#1=____________________#
#2=____________________#
#3=____________________#
#4=____________________#
#5=____________________#

How to Program the SMS Text Message
You can now change the alarm message for inputs 2, 3 & 4 to your own choosing allowing
you to know which input has been triggered.
To change the message send the text command as follows.
#MESS1=YOUR MESSSAGE# The default message is - “Alarm not Acknowledged”
#MESS2=YOUR MESSSAGE# The default message is - Input 2 activated
#MESS3=YOUR MESSSAGE# The default message is - Input 3 activated
#MESS4=YOUR MESSSAGE# The default message is - Input 4 activated
This will change the message to “Your Message”
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
You can only use a maximum of 19 character including spaces for your customised message.
Telephone Call Alerts
The Auto Dialler can be programmed to send you a telephone call after each text alarm has
been sent.
You will receive approximately three ring tones. The unit will then hang up automatically. This
is to prevent call charges being incurred.
To set the call alert to ON please send the text message
#CALL=ON#
The unit will relay back with “CALL ON”
If the call function has been set to ON you will receive a text message and shortly after, a
phone call.
To disarm the call alerts please send the text message
#CALL=OFF#
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
INPUT 1 is used with the speech module and operates differently to the other inputs.
Please see page 8 for more information

How to Use The GSM Auto Dialler
The Auto Dialler has four independent input’s
Input 1 = Terminal 1 connection. (Negatively triggered) pulled to ground
Input 2 = Terminal 2 connection. (Negatively triggered) pulled to ground
Input 3 = Terminal 3 connection. (Negatively triggered) pulled to ground
Input 4 = Terminal 4 connection. (Negatively triggered) pulled to ground
When the inputs are triggered the GREEN LED will ash 6 times to indicate that a trigger
has been received. It will then send a text message/phone call to the ve saved user
numbers.
● All inputs can be triggered independently.
● The Auto dialler will reset automatically when the triggered input is released.
We have an 8 input plug in board available on request. Please email the team at
[email protected]
Alarm Mode- Input 4 only
INPUT 4 can also be used as the alarm input where the input is not always live and it does
not auto reset like inputs 1 - 3. The alarm is only made live by sending an SMS/text
message command. This is useful for attaching things like PIR or IR Beam Sensors, when
you may only want them armed at night.
To activate this mode, send the sms/text command
#MODE=2#This sets the unit to alarm mode
Once in alarm mode the Auto Dialler can only be triggered after you have activated the
alarm input by sending the text command as follows.
#ALARM=ON#You will receive a text message reading “ALARM ON”
With the alarm ON, INPUT 4 will then be live and looking for a trigger. To turn o
(deactivate), the alarm, please send the text command:
#ALARM=OFF#This will deactivate the alarm.
The input will not reset automatically after a trigger. You will need to send the text
command #ALARM=ON# when you want it armed again.
To change back to auto mode, send the sms/text command
#MODE=1# This sets the unit to auto mode - this is the default setting

How to Use the Relay Output
Auto Relay Trigger Input On (see below)
The Auto Dialler has an 8 amp volt free contact relay output which can be used to switch
on external electric devices such as lighting, sirens etc.
By texting the unit you can turn the relay ON or OFF. Below are examples on how to do
this.
#REL=ON#This will turn ON relay output
#REL=OFF#This will turn OFF relay output
After each operation the unit will reply with a status report “RELAY ON/OFF”
It is possible to pulse the output relay for a period of 20 seconds. You will need to send a
text as follows.
#PULSE=REL#This will Pulse the relay for 20 seconds.
Auto Relay Trigger Input On
The Relay can be set to automatically pulse for 17 seconds when an input has been
triggered. Please be aware of any conicts this may cause if you are already using relay
2 as an independently activated relay. To turn this function on, please send the text
command:
#AUTO=ON#This will turn the auto function on for relay on
#AUTO=OFF#This will turn the auto function OFF for the relay (default setting is
off)
Resetting the Unit
To reset the unit back to factory settings you will need to send the text message
#RESET#
WARNING - This will reset all of your parameters. ONLY send this command when
necessary.

Speech Module Board
The GSM Auto Dialler now has a Speech plug in board, so you can record a message
which will be sent by phone call to the ve users in sequence that has to be acknowledged
by the recipient. Therefore, alerting the Auto Dialler that you have received the message.
www.gsm-activate.co.uk - 01273462380 - [email protected]
Recording a message
To record a message, hold down the pink record button and speak as clearly as possible
into the microphone. You can record up to a 15 second message. You can then use the
playback button and using the supplied headphones, listen to the message to check sound
quality.
How to use the Speech Module (Input 1 Only)
Once the message is recorded it will be congured solely to input 1. When input 1 is
triggered, it will send a phone call to the users in number sequence. Eg: User 1 rst then
user 2 and so on to user 5 unless the call is acknowledged. If no contact number answer
the call it will text all users - “ALARM NOT ACKNOWLEDGED”
If the call is acknowledged the call sequence will end and no text message will be sent.
You can change this message by using the text code
#MESS1=YOUR MESSSAGE#
Acknowledging the Call
In the event of no answer from any of the users the Auto Dialler will send a text message
reading “ALARM NOT ACKNOWLEDGED”
Page 8
When the call is answered, you have 30 seconds to listen to the message before the call
will automatically hang up, and call the next number.
To prevent the next number being called, you will need to acknowledge this call by
pressing the hash (#) key on your phone keypad, this will end the call sequence.
You can change the length of ring time from 30 seconds to 60 seconds by
sending the command #TIMER=60# and Change back by command
#TIMER=30#

Inputs
As you can see in the circuit diagram above the inputs can be activated by pulling input 1,
2,3 & 4 to ground. Alternatively, input 4 can be triggered by pulling to ground or if the link
is applied using a positive trigger.
Relay Output - Volt Free Contact
The relay has common, normally open and normally closed contacts which are capable of
8 Amp loads. This is suitable for turning on or o electrical equipment. Alternatively, it can
be used for resetting your alarm system.
The relay can be manually activated by text message commands or it can be set to pulse
for 20 seconds when an input has been activated - Please refer to page 6
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
For alarm panel installations please make sure you supply a 9-24 volts DC from the
battery terminals using a 2 amp fuse.
