Modes
The System X4 PRO Triggers can be armed and disarmed
remotely with an SMS Command.
Armed:
Fifteen minutes after connecting the battery, the System X4 PRO will automatically
exit the “Setup Mode” and go into the “Polling Mode”. Once this happens, the
modem will shutdown in two minutes, and not wake up until the next poll. To
process alarms/triggers, the System X4 PRO needs to be armed. To arm the
System X4 PRO, send the following command:
“SETTRIGGERS:ARM”
When the System X4 PRO is armed, it will process every alarm/trigger it receives.
At every alarm/trigger the System X4 PRO will send a “Trigger # Activated” SMS, a
“T#>” SMS, and activate any assigned relays. (See Page 16 for more information
on Alarms/Triggers.) (See Page 19 for more information on Relays/Cameras.)
Disarmed:
To disarm the System X4 PRO, send the following command:
“SETTRIGGERS:DISARM”
When the System X4 PRO is disarmed, it will ignore every alarm/trigger it receives.
Relays can still be activated with SMS commands. (See Page 19 for more
information on Relays/Cameras.)

Chapter 5 - Modes
Setup Mode:
For fifteen minutes after connecting the battery, the System X4 PRO will be in the
Setup Mode, as indicated on the last line of the Settings SMS. The modem will stay
on the entire fifteen minutes to receive SMS commands. After fifteen minutes, the
System X4 PRO will automatically send a Settings SMS, and the last line will say,
“Next poll in ## xxx”. The modem will stay on for another two minutes to accept
any additional SMS commands, then it will go to sleep. It will wake up again at the
next polling interval OR if the triggers are armed, at any alarm/trigger.
Note:
●Every time the System X4 PRO receives an SMS command, the two minute
window before it goes to sleep will be reset.

Alarms/Triggers
The System X4 PRO can perform a variety
of functions with each alarm/trigger.
WARNING:
The System X4 PRO must be armed with the
“SET TRIGGERS : ARM” command
before it can receive and process alarms!
Receiving an Alarm/Trigger:
When a sensor sends an alarm, the System X4 PRO will receive and process the
alarm, and then trigger the corresponding trigger. (Example: An alarm with an ID
of 3 will trigger T3.)
WARNING:
Any alarm ID greater than 4 will trigger T1, T2, T3, and T4!

Chapter 6 - Alarms/Triggers
“SET T# : xxxxxxx” Command:
This command will set the action of each trigger, or name the trigger. The default
actions are T1 will activate R1 for 60 seconds, T2 will activate R2 for 60 seconds, T3
will activate R3 for 60 seconds, and T4 will activate R4 for 60 seconds. This
command will return a “T#>” SMS.
Note:
●The “#” can be replaced with the letter “A” to set ALL triggers with one
command. Example: “SET TA : R1 60 S” would set all four triggers (T1, T2,
T3, and T4) to turn on Relay/Camera 1 for 60 seconds. This also works for
setting a “NAME” and “CLEAR TA”.
Options:
SET T# : R# ## x
SET T# : R# OFF
SET T# : “NAME”
SET T# : “”
CLEAR T#
CLR T#
Examples:
SET T1 : R1 60 S
SET T2 : R4 15 M
SET T3 : R1 OFF
SET T4 : “DOOR”
SET TA : R3 90 M

Relays/Cameras
The System X4 PRO has four Relays that can
power on cameras or other accessories.
WARNING:
The Relays have to be set to VOUT to turn on the Cameras!
Setting the Relays to VOUT:
By default, the System X4 Relays are set to RELAY. In order to supply power to the
cameras, they need to be set to VOUT. ALL four Relays can be set to VOUT with
the “SET RA : VOUT” command. This will return a Relays SMS.
Powering On a Camera or Accessory:
When a relay is activated by either a trigger or SMS command, the camera or
accessory will power on. The System X4 PRO provides 12 volts up to 1.7 Amps to
each camera or accessory.
“SET R# : xxxxxxx” Command:
This command will turn on or turn off a Relay/Camera, name the Relay/Camera, or
set the Relay to RELAY or VOUT. The Relay/Camera will remain on or off until
another trigger or SMS command activates it again. This command will return a
Relays SMS.
