Product Information
Our 2G/3G GSM Door Contact Alarm is a standalone alarm system for smaller rooms

alerting you to a possible intrusion.

installation and has passed testing in high temperature as well as below freezing
temperatures.

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 detector 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. Anything
less than this will make the unit unreliable.
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.

the event you need to modify or delete in the future.

How to programme the SMS text message
You can now change the alarm message from “input detected” to one of your own choice.
To change the message send the text command as follows
#MESS=YOUR MESSAGE#
The detector will reply with a text message - “MESSAGE STORED”
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
You can only use a maximum of 19 characters including spaces for your customised
message.

How to Programme Mobile Numbers
After inserting the simcard into the GSM module, turn the unit on and wait until you see the
GREEN LED is on. This indicates that the module has a signal and the unit is ready for use.
Please Note - 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) (1,2 or 3) (equals) (phone number) (hash)
To programme mobile numbers into the unit you will need to send them as a text to the unit
as follows:
#1=07123456789# Then send this as a text to the unit for contact no: 1
#2=07234567891# Then send this as a text to the unit for contact no: 2
#3=07345678912# Then send this as a text to the unit for contact no: 3
If you wish to cancel a number, follow this example.
(HASH) (1,2 or 3) (EQUALS) (DELETE) (HASH)
#1=DELETE#
This will delete contact no: 1
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
Please only send one message at a time and wait for the GSM detector to send back the
text acknowledgement “NUMBER STORED” before you try to add the next number.

Telephone Call Alerts
The Door Contact Alarm 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 text call alerts to ON please send the text message
#CALL=ON#
The unit will reply back with the message - “CALL ON”
To disarm call alerts please send the text message.
#CALL=OFF#
If the call function has been set to ON you will receive a text message and shortly after a
phone call.
How to use the 2G/3G Door Contact Alarm
Once you have positioned the door contact, installed the simcard and programmed the
numbers the system is ready to use.
The GSM Door Contact Alarm has two modes, alarm mode and auto mode.
Alarm mode: you have to arm the alarm manually each time when required via a text
message command or via the keyfob provided.
Auto mode: the alarm is always armed. You should choose which mode is more suitable
to your application.
These modes are selected by sending the following text messages
#Mode=1# Auto Mode
#Mode=2# Alarm Mode (default)
The default setting is alarm mode, to get an alarm notification when the beam is triggered,
you will need to arm the alarm first via text message or key fob
www.gsm-activate.co.uk - 01273462380 - [email protected]

Arm Via Text Message
To set the alarm to ON you will need to send the text message
#ALARM=ON# This will activate the alarm
#ALARM=OFF# This will deactivate the alarm
It is important to remember that once the alarm has been triggered you will need to reset
the alarm by sending the text command #ALARM=ON# to reactivate the alarm or activate
it using the key fob.
Arm Via Key Fob
The key fob works best when used with the siren provided as you will get the audible alert
whenever you arm or disarm the alarm.
Press button A on the key fob Arms the alarm and siren will beep twice
Press button B on the key fob Disarms the alarm and the siren will beep twice
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
Again it is important to remember that when the alarm has been triggered you will need to
reset the alarm using either the text command (above) or by using the fey fob.
In auto mode, the key fob and text message are disabled, the alarm is always “Active”.
After the alarm is triggered it will automatically reset to active after 20 seconds
In the event of a power loss the unit will remember if it was armed when power is restored.
How to use the Relay Output
The relay has been programmed to trigger the siren for 60 seconds in the event of an
alarm activation. Once the text message and call has been received you can stop the siren
sounding by pressing B on the key fob.
If you do not require the siren to sound in the event of an alarm activation but require it so
that you hear the key fob activation you can turn the siren OFF by Dipswitch 1.
Dipswitch 1 ON Siren is turned ON
Dipswitch 1 OFF Siren turned OFF
If you require the ability for the relay to be independently activated like older versions of
this alarm, please contact us on the details below.
