IDS SMS Duo V2 Setup guide

IDS SMS Duo V2
Training Guide
Introduction
The IDS SMS Duo V2 offers powerful, versatile and highly configurable sms reporting and
control capabilities, which will keep you informed and in control of your 805 alarm system when
away from your premises. The SMS Duo V2 module works with the IDS 805 Alarm Panel, and
consists of an X-SMS module and an interface that connects it to the 805 panel. The SMS Duo
V2 can also work as a standalone device with two end of line zone inputs and two outputs.
In this training guide we will cover step by step how to install the IDS SMS Duo V2 module, we
will explain the concept of programming the unit and go through some of the main commands.

1.Installation
1.1. SMS Duo V2 Connection to an 805 Panel
The X-SMS module connects to the 805 Interface via a serial cable, the Interface then connects
to the 805 panel via the keypad bus as a second keypad. The LED on the interface board, will
come on when the module has power and has received a valid clock pulse from the IDS805
alarm panel.
The serial connection between the SMS Duo V2 module and the 805 Alarm Panel is shown in
the image above.
1.2. Standalone Connection
The SMS Duo V2 in standalone operation only needs a 12V power supply. The zone inputs
monitor for an open or closed condition, 3k3 end of line resistors are required to supervise the
zones and will be sent as partition 2 zone 9 and 10 when triggered. The outputs on the
interface board are relay driven outputs and are controllable via sms.
All sms programming for standalone is the same except that the onboard zones are part of
partition 2. Remember to turn reporting on for partition 2 if you are using the onboard zones.

1.3. Defaulting the X-SMS Module
It is recommended to default the X-SMS module on a new installation. To default the
X-SMS module, hold the ‘Restore Defaults’button on power up until the ‘Heart Beat
LED’comes on, ± 3 seconds.
1.4. X-SMS Status LEDs
GSM Connect Status
LED flashes once per second if not connected and once every three seconds when connected
to the cell network and the signal strength is good enough to communicate.
Heart Beat
LED flashes slowly on power up and quickly once the module is running and the power up
sequence has completed.
Network Status
LED flashes when connected to the cell provider’s network and accepted by the service
provider.
Network Comms
LED on when communicating with the Cell network and off when no communication.
Panel Comms
LED on when communicating with the Duo Interface Board and flashes to confirm connection
to the interface board.
LEDs are a good way to troubleshoot if any problems arise.
For example: If the interface is not connected to the X-SMS v2 Module then only the Heart
Beat LED will flash continuously with the Network Status LED flashing occasionally.

1.5. Interface Board LED
The interface board LED indicates communication with the IDS 805 panel.
Slow Flash: An IDS805 has not been detected on power up and the unit is in standalone mode.
On: An IDS805 has been detected and is communicating with the SMS DUO V2.
Off: An IDS805 has been detected but is not communicating with the SMS DUO V2.
1.6. Interface Board Jumpers
The interface board has 3 jumpers to enable/disable certain hardware.
Jumper 1: Configures what device the interface is connected to. Keep off for SMS Duo V2.
Jumper 2: Enables zone 1 on the interface board. (Reports as zone 9)
Jumper 3: Enables zone 2 on the interface board. (Reports as zone 10)
Jumper 3 2 1

2.Basic Programming
In this next section we will discuss the basic programming needed to get started with the SMS
Duo V2.
2.1. Command structure
All commands follow the same command structure to make programming easy to remember.
The command structure goes as follows:
[CODE] space [COMMAND] space [EXTENDED COMMAND] space [DATA]
Where:
Code –A valid alarm user code stored in the 805 Alarm Panel.
Command –The function that you are wanting to access in the 805 Alarm Panel.
Extended Command –Supplementary information the command requires. (Not always used)
Data –The value/setting required of the command/extended command.
The cell networks limit the number of characters to 160 per SMS.
The SMS Duo V2 doesn’t store any user codes, it just sends them to the 805
Panel. Make sure the code you use has the appropriate permissions in the
805 Alarm Panel.
2.2. Adding Phone Numbers
In the default state any cell phone can be used to enter the first “Master Phone Number”, you
can only add another phone number to the SMS Duo V2 using a “Master Phone Number”.
There are types of categories a phone number can fall under:
Master Phone Number
Master phone numbers have the highest level of access to the SMS Module, they are allowed
access to all configuration data.
Arming phone Numbers
Arming phone numbers have permissions for all panel functions, arm/disarm, panel status,
bypass zone, PGM control and receive reports.
Reporting Phone Numbers
Reporting phone numbers are only permitted to receive reports from the SMS module, and to
temporarily turn off reporting to that number.
To add a Master Phone Number you will use the following information:
Code –1234 (a user code)
Command –Add
Extended Command –Master (category the number must be under)
Data –074 049 2481 (the number to be made master)
The SMS should look like this:
1234 add master 0740492481

You can also name the cell number when adding it to the SMS Duo V2.
The SMS should look like this:
1234 add master 0740492481:Sid

2.3. Reporting
Each phone number can turn reporting off, as well as choose how they want to receive
reporting messages.
On/Off –Enables/Disables reporting to the phone.
Global –All enabled global events. Eg. System Trouble.
P1 –Events that are alarm based. Eg. Arm/Disarm.
P2 –Reports SMS Duo v2 onboard zones 9 & 10.
Type –Enables the type of reporting that the phone number will receive.
There are three types to choose from:
Raw –A contact ID string is sent to the phone.
Full –All enabled events will be sent to the phone in English.
Reduced - Only the following will be reported: Arm/Disarm, Zone violations, Panics,
System Troubles. (This is the default)
Minimal - Only the following will be reported: Zone violations, Panics, System Troubles.
To turn on reporting for partition 1 and global you will use the following information:
Code –1234 (a user code)
Command –Report
Extended Command –On P1, global
Data –074 049 2481 (the number or cell name to receive the reporting SMSes)
The SMS should look like this:
