Product Information
Our 4G GSM Alarm Pro is a standalone alarm system suitable for both indoor and outside
usage and can cover a large range from the base station to the sensors. It will alert you
using GSM technology by sending a text message and/or a phone call to your mobile
phone or land line when the sensors are broken, alerting you to a possible intrusion or
fault.

outside installation and has passed testing in high heats and below freezing conditions.

Instructions
IMPORTANT- PLEASE READ
Please make sure you disconnect the power when you fit the simcard. Then slide the
simcard into the holder making sure that the clipped corner of the simcard lines up with the
clipped corner of the simcard holder as seen in the image above.
Signal Strength
To help ensure that you place the unit in a suitable position, you can text the unit to see
how much signal strength the detector is receiving by texting the command
#SIGNAL#
The alarm will perform a test on the signal strength.
You will receive a text confirming the signal strength between 0 up to 30. We strongly
recommend that you place the unit where it can receive a signal of at lease 10. Less than
this will make the unit unreliable.
Battery Backup
In the event of a power failure the internal rechargable battery will be capable of running
the unit for 24 hours. It will inform you of a “MAINS FAILURE” by text message as well as
when the power is restored with the text message “POWER RESTORED”.
You can switch the battery on and off using the switch inside the unit. (See image above)
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
To avoid confusion we have colour coded the hash (#) and the equals (=) symbols.
Furthermore, where it indicates a phone number this should be your number or the
numbers you wish the unit to contact.

Example: (hash) (PH) (equals) (phone number) (hash)
#PH1=07123456789# Then send this to the unit simcard number.
#PH2=07753651298# Then send this to the unit simcard number.
The unit will reply number stored
When the unit is triggered it will send an alarm message to thiese numbers
How to programme the SMS Text Message
You can now change the alarm default message from “IR??” To one of your choice.
To change the message send the text command as follows
#IR01=YOUR MESSAGE# Default message is IR01
#IR02=YOUR MESSAGE# Default message is IR02
The detector will reply with the text message - “MESSAGE STORED”
By changing position 01 to 20, you can name all 20 individually paired sensors.
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
Your can only use a maximum of 30 characters including spaces for your customised
message.
How to Setup 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 call alerts to ON please send the text message
#CALL=ON#
The unit will reply back “call on”
To disarm call alerts please send the text message.

The Sensors
The GSM Alarm Pro 20 has the ability to pair up to 20 sensors. These sensors can be
programmed with their own unique location code so the end user will know exactly which
sensor has been triggered.
The sensors and key fobs are easily paired by using the colour touch screen display on the
board.
Pairing the Sensors
1. Touch the screen
2. Press the RED “SENSOR OPTION”
3. Choose a location 1-20 to store the sensor using the + and - icons.
4. Touch the “SELECT LOCATION” - a prompt will appear saying “ACTIVATE SENSOR
NOW”
5. Activate your sensor
6. Touch “SAVE-YES” - You will hear 3 beeps to confirm

Once a sensor has been stored to a location, it cannot be stored to another location without
it being unpaired using a reset.
Pairing the Key Fobs

the SIM card being shut down due to inactivity.

Activating the Alarm
Once the alarm is armed via text or keyfob, the alarm is then ready and sensing all paired
beams.
When a sensor is broken this will trigger the siren for the pre determined length of time and
also send a text message to two pre programmed phone numbers. It will also call you if
you have set up the call on feature (please see page 4)
The text message will relate to which sensor has been broken - you can pair upto 20
sensors and name them individually. T o individually name each sensor please see page 4
- the default texts are IR01, IR02 etc
Once the alarm has been activated, it will automatically re-arm once the beam has been
cleared.
Disabling Sensor 1 Only
If you want to remove sensor 1 from operation you send the text command
#BEAM1=ON# This will re-enable sensor 1
#BEAM1=OFF# This will disable sensor 1
The purpose of this function is to deactivate one sensor whilst retaining the rest of the
alarm system. This could be for a constantly used door during day time hours.
