11 Internet remote access
The web site www.GSMLink.cz enables car alarm remote control (to
users) and setting (to installers). The following features are enabled:
To get internet access to an installed and powered car alarm you will
first be asked to register your car alarm on the first page. You will find a
unique registration code for your car alarm on the warranty card.
11.1 Reset GSM
If you need to disconnect and then reconnect the GSM module to the
GSM network, then use the command “MASTER RESET GSM”.
This does not affect any settings and is typically used for GPRS
activation or charging up credit. This command always requires the
Master code.
12 Central monitoring station communication
The GSM pager allows central monitoring via GPRS data protocol. The
central monitoring station (CMS) gets arming, disarming and alarm
information. It also regularly checks the communication link to the car after it is
armed. So if anyone tries to tamper with GSM pager communications, it will
indicate an alarm at the CMS.
13 Additional features
13.1 Car battery low voltage reporting
The GSM pager checks the voltage of the car battery. If the voltage is too
low (10V) it will notify users via an SMS message. This avoids complete
discharging of the car battery if you forget to turn off your lights etc.
13.2 Back-up battery
The car alarm can be backed up by a BB-01 battery. Thus, the car alarm
can keep sending information when the car battery is disconnected. Back up
time is provided for several hours. The manufacturer recommends regular
BB-01 checking once a year. The battery should be replaced every two years.
Low back-up battery voltage (below 4V) is reported to the user via SMS
(change the battery in this case).
13.3 Voltage drop detector
The built-in voltage drop detector can trigger an alarm if an electrical
device in the car is turned on while the car is armed. The sensor activates
10 minutes after arming (if enabled).
13.4 Entrance delay acoustic indication
The siren can indicate arming and disarming by beeps (see DIP
parameter setting). The siren will also indicate the triggering of a wireless
detector which provides an entrance delay (by a single beep). This way
you can be reminded not to forget to disarm your car alarm after you
open the garage door etc.
13.5 Limited number of alarms
If any sensor (input) repeatedly triggers alarms then this particular input will
be bypassed automatically after the third alarm (it will remain bypassed until
the car alarm is disarmed).
13.6 Car location
If your GSM provider offers a location service, you have to activate the
LOCATOR command after installation by the following SMS sequence:
MASTER LOCATOR xx…x
where: MASTER is installers code
xx...x is provider’s sequence to obtain the position of
the car alarm SIM card (check with your GSM
provider for details)
After this sequence has been sent successfully once, the car alarm
memorizes the parameters and from this moment on you can obtain the
location of the car by just sending the instruction LOCATOR.
Note: GSM location service may not be available in some countries.
13.7 Pre-paid SIM card balance
It is recommended not to use prepaid cards in the car alarm. If you have
no other choice than prepaid cards, you can enable the CREDIT
instruction by following sequence:
MASTER CREDIT uuu..u xx yyy zz
where: uuu…u is the provider’s code to obtain the balance
xx is the time period (in days) for regular checking
yyy is the threshold level below which the balance is
reported to the user (TEL1)
zz is the position of the first digit of the balance in the reply
SMS from the provider
•After this sequence has been sent once, the car alarm will check the
balance automatically every xx days and if the balance is lower than
yyy the user will be notified (TEL1)
•If the CREDIT instruction is enabled in the above way, the user can
also obtain the current balance by the instruction CREDIT
•To disable the automatic balance checking set the time period “xx” to 00.
13.8 Roaming
If you travel abroad and your SIM card supports roaming, the car alarm
will work there too.
13.9 Siren activation
If you are searching for a stolen car, you can operate the siren
remotely by the following SMS instructions:
MASTER SIREN turns the siren on for 10 minutes
MASTER SIREN ON siren on permanently
MASTER SIREN OFF siren off
To avoid misuse of this option, only an installer can switch the siren on.
13.10 LED indicator signals

1 Before installation
The CA-1202 should only be installed by a professional installer. The
manufacturer assumes no liability for damages caused by incorrect
installation or use of this product.
The Athos car alarm is suitable for cars with 12 V and negative grounding.
The main unit is designed for installation in the passenger cabin.
Disconnect the car battery before starting installation; study the car
owner manual first. Avoid drilling into the metal parts of the car body.
Note: Use only proper crimping tools and parts to make connections. Cut
all unused wires and insulate them properly.
The thin wire which leads directly out of the central unit is the remote
control and wireless detector antenna. The location of this wire affects the
communication range. Place the antenna on a suitable plastic surface so
that the other wires do not screen it.
2 Wiring
•YELLOW – siren output (+12V / max. 1A).
•GREY –door switch input. It reacts to connection or disconnection
from the ground (automatically recognizes logic).
•WHITE – INP1 input – to confirm locking/unlocking of the car by the
original remote control by confirmation signal from the turn lights
(flashers).
•YELLOW–WHITE – INP2 alarm input – reacts to connection or
disconnection from the ground (automatically recognize logic).
•BLUE – ignition key input (+12V). Be sure, that there is +12V while
the key is on and while starting.
•GREEN – LED indicator – install it in a visible spot on the dashboard.
Connect the other end of this lead to the GND.
•WHITE–BLACK (position 10) –“Lock“ WHITE–BLUE (position 11) –
“Unlock” – control inputs for detecting locking and unlocking to
activate arming/disarming. They are usually connected to the outputs
of the central locking control unit.. If these are not available, the car
alarm inputs can be connected directly to the power wires of the
central locking motors. Two pairs of central locking wires are available.
For mode 2 use the wires with red shrinkable tube. Carefully push
the ends of the chosen wires into the main plastic connector. Be
careful to select the correct wires as removal from the main connector
is very difficult without the proper tool.
•BLACK–GND – connect to the original grounding in the car.
•RED –power supply +12V –connect directly to the battery. Check
that the installation is properly finished and that the GSM antenna is
connected before powering up!
•ORANGE – back-up battery – connect optional battery BB-01
(Jablotron) if desired. If the BB-01 is not connected, then ground the wire.
•2x BROWN – immobilization circuit (8A permanently, max. 12A /
3minutes).
•Pink – not used
3 SIM card insertion
1. Make sure, that the PIN password on the SIM is disabled. You can
do this using a mobile phone (e.g. for NOKIA: MENU, SETTINGS,
SECURITY SETTINGS, PIN CODE REQUEST, OFF). If your SIM card
does not allow switching the PIN off, change the PIN to 0000.
2. Activate the SIM card if necessary (see provider’s instructions),
ensure that it works (by a mobile phone) and record its phone number.
3. Using a thin pointed tool, press the colored button to release the SIM
cardholder. Insert the SIM card into the holder with the gold contacts
facing up and then reinsert the holder.
4 GSM antenna installation
DO NOT switch the power on before the GSM antenna is connected.
The provided antenna is adhesive and should be attached to the car window.
The antenna should not be obstructed by any metal part. It is recommend to
install the antenna in a place where it is not easily visible (tinted part of the
window, behind the mirror etc.). If the car has an original GSM antenna installed, it
can be used (if the connector is different, use an appropriate adapter).
5 Initial powering-up of the alarm
Make sure, that the GSM antenna is connected, SIM card inserted and the
wire harness installed properly. Then connect the power (car battery). The
LED indicator will turn on and the siren will make a short chirp. Wait until the
LED turns off (up to 1 minute).
If the LED starts to flash, no GSM network was found. In such a case turn the
power off, remove the SIM card and try to use it in a mobile phone (at the
place where the GSM antenna is). Check also if the PIN protection is OFF (or
set to 0000). If the SIM card logs into network successfully, reinsert it in to the
alarm and repeat powering-up.
After the alarm is powered, you have to:
a) Select Mode 2 by command RESET EN 2
b) Enroll remote controls and wireless detectors (if used)
c) Set the programmable features (phone numbers, DIP, SET, etc.).
These can be done by:
•SMS instructions – see table 6.1. For example sending SMS: MASTER
RESET EN 2 to the car alarm will select Mode 2.
•Internet page: www.GSMlink.cz is the most convenient way. To
register there you need to know the registration code (printed on the
warranty card) and the master code (factory default is MASTER).
•SIM Card phone directory editing (see table 6.1 for list of features
which can be programmed this way). After the initial powering-up a list of
parameters is created in the SIM card phone directory. If you then insert
the SIM card in to a mobile phone, you can set particular features (by
entering numbers to the created list). The entry for Mode setting is not
automatically created, but it is possible to make a new entry name:
RESET EN and number: 2. Data entered this way are read by the car
alarm after the SIM card is reinserted. For security reasons it is erased
after reading.
6 Enrollment of remote controls and detectors
Up to 4 RC-4x remote controllers and up to 8 JA-60 wireless detectors can be
enrolled to the car alarm (after Mode 2 is selected by the RESET EN 2 instruction).

9 User instructions
9.1 Remote control arming and disarming
The alarm will be armed when the car is locked remotely by the original
remote control and disarmed when the car is unlocked remotely. The locking
(according to the setting in 8 H) and unlocking must always be followed by
confirmation from the turn lights. If the car is unlocked by the key (no
confirmation from the turn lights) then the alarm will be triggered. To stop the
alarm it is necessary to unlocked remotely by the original remote control. We
do not recommend installing the car alarm in this mode to cars in which
unlocking the door by key is confirmed by the turn lights (or disable this
feature if possible).
9.2 Remote control by SMS instructions
SMS instructions sent from an authorized phone (TEL1 to TEL4) can
operate the alarm but not the central locking remotely. Factory default
instruction texts are shown in the following table. The instruction texts
can be changed by SMS text editing, see part 10.
If an SMS is sent from an unauthorized phone (other than TEL1 to
TEL4), a valid user code must be entered before the instruction (e.g.
USER AM).
SMS text Description
AM ARM and lock the car
DM DISARM and unlock the car
IMO STOP (immobilize) the car (after turning the ignition key off)
UNIMO Unblock (mobilize) the car

•The parameters in bold are factory defaults.
•The instruction must contain spaces as shown in the table
•Only basic ASCII can be used in the SMS instruction texts
•If the SMS text contains the % sign, then the following text will be
ignored. Characters %% in the message stop processing the
following text. Using these characters is suitable when sending an
SMS from an internet gateway which ads another text –
advertisements etc. When using the % character it is always
necessary to insert the Master or User code followed by a space
before the command itself.
9.3 Dialing-in remote control
If enabled by the DIP parameters (see 7), the car alarm can be armed
and disarmed remotely by dialing in from an authorized phone (TEL1 to
TEL4). The car alarm will not answer the incoming call, but when it
recognizes your number, it will change status (Arm or Disarm).
Such remote control is free of charge since the phone is not answered.
Warning – if you dial your car alarm accidentally it can cause disarming of
the alarm.
Controlling by dialing in will result only in arming/disarming the alarm but
it will not lock/unlock the doors
Phone calls by an installed hands free set
If the optional HF-03 hands free set is installed, it is possible to receive
and make phone calls via the car alarm. When your car is disarmed and
ignition key is on, the remote control (RC-4x) allows you to operate the
hands free set.
Incoming calls – to answer them, press any button on the RC-4x remote
control. By pressing any button again, the call will be terminated.
When armed, all incoming calls are automatically rejected. If the car is
blocked (by IMO instruction) all calls are automatically answered (it is
possible to listen and to speak to the car remotely). Automatic call
answering while you are driving can also be enabled by the HF
instruction (see 9.2).
To make a call – you can call up to 4 preprogrammed numbers while you
are driving. By pressing button ,, or on the remote control you
will dial the corresponding number (pre programmed by DIALA to DIAL2,
see 6.1)
9.4 Alarm
When an alarm is triggered, the siren will sound for 30 sec., warning SMS
messages will be sent to all phones (TEL1 to TEL4) and these phones will
also be called with the siren sound.
To stop the alarm, disarm the alarm by unlocking the doors using the
original remote control or by the disarm SMS instruction (DM).
