Product Information
Our 2G/3G/4G GSM Multi switch is designed to attach to your electronic devices enabling
you to activate them using your mobile phone from anywhere in the world.
This can prove to be very useful in a variety of situations. Just simply dial the unit which
comes with a free simcard and it will turn the device on or off or you can text it how long
you would like the device on for ranging from 1 - 999 seconds or minutes. Once you have
sent a command the device will send an acknowledgement back by text message so you
know it has taken the command.
Our 2G/3G/4G Multi Switch is set apart from other models on the market by being on the
quad band frequency, meaning it can be used worldwide and we frequently ship models
all over Europe, USA and Australia with excellent feedback. The unit is also enclosed in

passed testing in high temperatures and below freezing conditions.

How to Program the Multi Function Switch
Once the unit has a green light it is ready to be used. The unit has a caller ID function so
only authorised numbers you store can activate the unit. If caller ID is left OFF anyone
phoning the units number can operate the relays.
To turn caller ID on send a text message #ID=ON#
To turn caller ID off send a text message #ID=OFF#
PLEASE NOTE
If you do not require authorised users please skip to the next page
How to Use the Multi Function Switch
To program a number to the caller ID (WHL) list you will need to send a text message
code:
#WHL=NUMBER#
To delete the number send a text message code:
#DEL=NUMBER#
Example #WHL=07123456789# Stores your mobile number (Maximum 60 users)
Example #DEL=07123456789# Deletes the mobile number.
If the code is accepted the unit will reply “WHL number stored” or “WHL number deleted”
PLEASE NOTE - You can only send one number at a time. Please send the message and
wait for the 2G/3G/4G Multi Switch to send you back a text acknowledgement ‘STORED’
before you try to add any further contact numbers.
Furthermore, please ensure that you have credit on your simcard to receive the text
acknowledgment. It may take some time to receive text acknowledgements depending
upon how busy your telephone network is at the time.
Reset Function
For a quick reset and to clear all numbers there is a built in reset function that is triggered
via sending an sms/text message.
#RESET# The unit will then remove all WHL numbers stored.
Please only do this if you really have to as it will clear all your programmed contact
numbers.

How to use the Multi Function Switch
Call Mode: Relay 1 only
Using your mobile phone dial the simcard number. You will hear 1 ring tone. The unit will
automatically hang up. This will prevent any call charges. Only relay 1 can be used for calling.
The relay will then turn ON and remain on. You will receive the relay state report
REL1 ON REL2 OFF
To turn the relay OFF just ring the simcard number again. You will receive the relay state report
REL1 OFF REL2 OFF
PLEASE NOTE - Calling in using 4G can currently be inconsistent due to several factors such as,
signal strength and voice over LTE (4G calling) being available on simcards and phones etc. If you
experience unreliability on 4G please boot the unit up using either 2G or 3G depending on which
has the better signal strength.
The unit will reply and let you know the state of both relays, you can turn the reply off by using the
command
#TEXT=OFF# Turns OFF the relay state report
#TEXT=ON# Turns ON the relay state report
The default setting configuration is set to relay state report on
Text Mode: Relay 1 & 2
By texting the unit you can turn relay 1 & 2 on or off individually. Below are examples of how to do
this.
#REL1=ON# This will turn on relay 1
#REL1=OFF# This will turn off relay
#REL2=ON# This will turn on relay 2
#REL2=OFF# This will turn off relay 2
It is possible to pulse relay 1 & 2 for a period of 10 seconds you will need to send a text as follows
#PULSE=REL1#This will turn on relay 1 for 10 seconds only.
#PULSE=REL2#This will turn on relay 2 for 10 seconds only.
Timer Mode: Relay 2 only
It is possible to turn relay 2 ON for a period of time 1 minute to a maximum 999 minutes. Send the
following command followed by the number of minutes you require #MIN=
Example #MIN=001# This will turn on the relay for 1 minute.
Example #MIN=060# This will turn on the relay for 60 minutes.
Example #MIN=120# This will turn on the relay for 120 minutes.
The maximum number of minutes is 999.
You will receive a text acknowledgment “TIMER SET”
The timer will stay on for the preset time and then turn itself off. If you wish to cancel the timer
before the preset time has expired you can do this by texting #MIN=000# this will cancel the time.

Status Report
It is possible to obtain a relay status report at any time. This will give you the position of the relays.
#STATUS# To get relay status report (this will only work if you have Text replies ON)
Please Note - The unit has a “sim active” function which monitors the activity on the simcard. If it
has been inactive for 6 weeks, it will send an automatic text to a pre-recorded number. This will
then eliminate the problem of your sim getting shut down if it is unused for 3 months.
New SIM cards will need registering before they can be used. Full details of how this is done can
normally be found in the SIM card pack. It will normally require that the SIM card is inserted into a
mobile phone, a number dialled and instructions followed. While the SIM is in the mobile phone it
would be a good time to disable any PIN codes, call diverts, ring back and disable features such as
voicemail and text alerts. Details of how to do this can be found on the SIM card provider’s web site
or by calling their customer services. Please use one of the following SIM card providers -
Vodafone, TMobile, O2 or Orange.
Note Currently not suitable with the network provider “three”
Relay Memory
In the event of power loss the switch can remember the relay positions for when the power has
been restored. Please send the text as follows:
#MEMORY=ON# The unit will remember relay status in event of power failure
#MEMORY=OFF# The unit will not remember relay status and power on with both relays
set to off
The default setting is Relay Memory OFF
Relay State report is the status of BOTH relays
REL 1 OFF = REL 2 OFF
REL 1 ON = REL 2 OFF
REL 1 OFF = REL 2 ON
REL 1 ON = REL 2 ON
