Basic Information
GECON is a GSM communicator used to transfer predefined information/events via the GSM network in the form of
a voice message, text message and ringing.
Examples of use
GECON is a universal device; for example, it can be used for:
• property protection –by connecting with a security systems /ESS/, it may send alarm messages, inform
about a system status and differentiate the type of alarm (through ringing, a voice message or a text
message);
•remote control –via text message, it controls 1 electric appliance (1 relay), directly on a
motherboard, and an additional 3 appliances (3 relays) with an expansion module;
• technological device monitoring –the device can inform about power failure, heating, etc.

Installation
GECON is fastened to the desired location using the included stick-on holders or screws (not included). Never
place GECON in a metal box of a control panel without bringing out an external antenna!!! (The built-in antenna
would become non-functional.) Placing it in a metal box is only possible if you use an external antenna together
with antenna reduction. External antenna may also be used for areas with a weaker signal.
CAUTION!!!
Turn the protection PIN on your SIM card off and delete all text messages and place the SIM card
into a communicator during installation.
Turning SIM card PIN code off
Insert the SIM card into a mobile phone and turn it on. If the card requires a PIN code, enter it. In the phone
settings, find security settings and disable the PIN code. The SIM card is ready for configuration. Turn the phone
off and remove the SIM card.
Turning GECON On
1) Insert the SIM card into the communicator.
2) Connect the communicator to voltage.
3) Automatic registration to the GSM network is under way. If the registration is not completed after 60
seconds (see ‘LED 1 status indication’), check the SIM card and GSM network availability.
4) If it is registered, the communicator is ready.
Status indication LEDs:
LED 1 regular flashing (at a one-second rhythm) –unavailable GSM network (not registered)
LED 1 short flashing (one flash every 4 seconds) –registered into GSM network
LED 1 steady light –event detected at the input (alarm/status), the device sends a text message and rings
the phone numbers according to the settings. If the LED lights up only for a short time (2–5 seconds),
phone number or routing events for the input is not set.
LED 2 steady light –indicating GECON –7 mode is on (G7 = ON)
LED 2 fast flashing –output short circuit indication
LED 2 flashes twice –or LED 2 goes out –indicating a received text message with a correct password
LED 2 flashes once –or LED 2 goes out –indicating a received text message with an incorrect password

GECON LITE PLUS/GECON –7
If you want to use GECON - 7 in the GECON LITE PLUS version, you do not need to read on, everything
will work as in the original mode as it is GECON factory setting.
To use the improved GECON7 version, send a text message: abcd G7=ON
To return to the GECON LITE PLUS version, send a text message: abcd G7=OFF
If the setting or function is different, the differences will be marked as follows:
GECON LITE PLUS G7=OFF
Gecon7 G7=ON
Description of settings or behaviour for compatibility with
the old version
Description of settings or behaviour for the extended
version
Notice:
In order to improve the utility of the communicator, adjustments were made to extend its capabilities, while
maintaining its compatibility with the previous GECON LITE PLUS version, including the setting software.
Functions requested by our customers were added.
The following functions were removed or changed:
1. GECON LITE in the function of a small control panel is not supported in the GECON - 7 version
2. Classic SIM card holder was replaced with ‘nano’ SIM card holder
3. TAMPER terminal and TAMPER contact were removed (both can be added upon request –their location is
elsewhere, see the diagram)
4. LED output is removed
5. Prefix in online printing for ‘cancellation’ was changed from ‘$’ to ‘*’
Device Setting
GSM gateway that allows different types of traffic, it is therefore necessary to set some parameters according to
customer needs.
1 Phone numbers for reporting events
2 Input logic NO/NC
3 Type of input ALARM/STATUS
4Additional functions
For convenience, GECON is set via text messages from your mobile phone. For a higher security level, the access
to the configuration is conditioned by access password which every text message must begin with. This password
is set to abcd. We recommend changing the password. GECON is designed so that it does not matter whether
you type the password or commands in uppercase and lowercase.
Current Setting
The following commands are query commands, i.e. once they are received by GECON LITE PLUS, it creates an
appropriate response and sends it to the phone number which the command was sent from.
VER - information on the device version
PHONE - information on the desired phone number
TEXT - information on the text setting
SETUP - information on other parameter setting
WPRINT - information on dictionary for online printing (sends 2 text messages)
HELP - lists all query commands (HELP VER SETUP PHONE TEXT WPRINT ?)
? - information on the current status of inputs and relays
Example: abcd SETUP

7
Note: While the setting text message may contain multiple commands at the same time, the above
commands must always be at the end of a text message and only one such command can be used in
one text message.
Added Functions
extended by another three inputs/outputs, GECON - 7 now has 4 inputs + 3 reversible outputs/outputs
an option to record voice messages separately for each alarm input /seven in total/
Phone Number Setting
GECON LITE PLUS G7=OFF
Gecon7 G7=ON
has a capacity of 4 phone numbers for notifying the
owner.
T1=09……..
.
.
T4=04….
has a capacity of 8 phone numbers for notifying the
owner.
T1=09……..
.
.
.
T8=04….
Example:
abcd T2=0901222333 T1=# T4=0975123456 –sets the second and fourth phone number, deletes the
first phone number.
If you need to delete any number from the list, enter the command for setting and use # sign instead of
the number.
The abcd PHONE command returns phone number setting to SMS.
Setting phone number automatically sets the routing of events from all inputs to this number. The
routing of these messages can be changed (see ‘Additional Functions’).
Using the commands: see page 11 –Practical Example
Input Logic:
Digital input can have two statuses: closed/open. It is therefore necessary to determine the input logic to make it
clear which status is normal and which is the alarm or fault. In terms of security equipment, NO and NC are the
most common terms.
NO –normal open
NC –normal close
The input logic is changed by the LOG command by defining a normal status for each input after an equal sign (=):
O –normal open
C –normal close
The order of the O/C symbols after the sign (=) determines the sequence of set inputs. This means that the first
letter defines the setting of the first input, the second of the second input, etc.
GECON LITE PLUS G7=OFF
Gecon7 G7=ON
It has 4 inputs; set as:
abcd LOG=OCCO
It has 7 inputs, set as:
abcd LOG=OCCOCOO

8
Example:
abcd LOG=OCCO - 1st input is normally open NO
- 2nd input is normally closed NC
- 3rd input is normally closed NC
- 4th input is normally open NO
Using the commands: see p. 11 –Practical Example
Input Type Setting
Digital inputs can fulfil two functions: report information on alarm or fault or recovery. An alarm is reported by a text
message to and ringing the predefined phone numbers. Recovery after alarm is not reported. A fault is reported by
sending a text message. After removing the fault, the recovery is reported by text message.
Setting is made using the IN command by defining the type for each of the 4 inputs after the equal sign (=):
A –alarm input
T –status (fault) input
The order of the A/T symbols after the sign (=) determines the sequence of set inputs. This means that the first
letter defines the setting of the first input, the second of the second input, etc.
GECON LITE PLUS G7=OFF
Gecon7 G7=ON
It has 4 inputs; set as:
abcd IN=AATA
It has 7 inputs, set as:
abcd IN=AATAATA
Examples:
abcd IN=AAAA - All inputs are alarm.
abcd IN=ATTT - The first input is alarm,
the others are status (fault).
Using the commands: see p. 11 –Practical Example
Additional Functions
They specify or slightly modify the basic GECON behaviour.
Routing Messages to Telephone Numbers
By default, all events (alarms/ faults) are reported to all phone numbers on the list. This can be changed so that the
phone number will be informed only about the events of the listed inputs. Thus, messages can be divided
according to their type and importance.
GECON LITE PLUS G7=OFF
Gecon7 G7=ON
Routing 4 inputs to 4 phone numbers
VT1=1234 - T1 will be informed about events
at all inputs
VT2=34 - T2 will be informed about events at
input 3 and 4
VT3=5 - T3 will be informed about events at
online printing input
Routing 8 inputs to 8 phone numbers
VT1=1234567 - T1 will be informed about events
at all inputs
VT2=34 - T2 will be informed about events at
input 3 and 4
VT5=27 - T2 will be informed about events at
input 2 and 7
VT8=8 - T3 will be informed about events at
online printing input

9
Example:
abcd VT1=2 - report events from only input 2 to phone number T1
Note:
Each new setting of the phone number (commands T1 ... T4 or T8) restores the original setting of routing reports to
the relevant phone number (VT1 ... VT4 or up to VT8) to the value of 1234 or 5 to 7. This means that the phone
number must be defined first and then the routing of messages can be changed.
Delay of Inputs
It is desirable for some applications that the event is reported only if it lasted longer than the specified time. It is
thus possible to filter out events that do not affect building protection.
For example, it is not necessary to report power failures immediately in most cases. It often happens that blown
circuit breakers are restarted immediately and all is well. Such a short failure (for a few minutes) does not need to
be reported. A failure that lasts longer, for example 30 to 60 minutes, should be reported. Input restoration is
reported immediately, irrespective of the set delay. Input delay is normally set to 0 minutes, i.e. the input reacts
immediately. The maximum delay may be 120 minutes. You can set it up as follows:
GECON LITE PLUS G7=OFF
Gecon7 G7=ON
Delay of inputs 1 to 4
D1=time - delay of input 1 to the alarm or fault by
time indicated in minutes
- input restoration is reported
immediately
.
.
D3=...
D4=.
Delay of inputs 1 to 7
D1=time - delay of input 1 to the alarm or fault by
time indicated in minutes
- input restoration is reported
immediately
.
.
D6=...
D7=.
Example:
abcd D2=30 - input 2 will respond to events that last longer than 30 minutes.
Alarm Filtering
It is an intelligent GECON function for saving credit of the SIM card. When the filter is set, filter timer [in minutes] is
set following the occurrence of an alarm during which all other alarms on a given input are ignored. This allows
sending only one alarm in 15 minutes, for example. It saves credit and does not block phone lines of the customer
and allow them to make calls. By default, this feature is disabled, i.e. it is set to 0 minutes. The maximum filter time
can be set to 60 minutes. The filter works for each input separately, but has one common setting for all inputs. The
filter does not affect the fault (status) inputs.
Example:
abcd F=15 - setting the reporting interval between new alarms to 15 minutes.
Example:
abcd F=0 - alarm filter turned off.
Text Setting
GECON LITE PLUS uses predefined texts for text messages that indicate what type of event has occurred. You
can change these texts yourself. To see the current setting of texts, send a query command (TEXT) on the GECON
LITE PLUS phone number.
GECON LITE PLUS G7=OFF
Gecon7 G7=ON
AL1 … AL4 - texts for alarm/fault messages of
inputs 1 ... 4
AL1 … AL7 - texts for alarm/fault messages of
inputs 1 ... 7

10
RE1 … RE4 - recovery messages at inputs 1 ... 4
REP - SMS text report
RE1 … RE7 - recovery messages at inputs 1 ... 7
REP - SMS text report
Example:
abcd TEXT - information on the current setting of text messages
Response from GECON will include the designation of building or event types and the respective current settings of
test messages are written after the equal sign (=):
OBJ - building name
Custom message is set by entering the message type and assigning the text ended with # after the equal sign (=).
The maximum length of the text is 15 characters.
Example:
abcd AL1=message1# - setting of the alarm message of input 1
abcd RE3=message2# - setting of the recovery message at input 3
If you do not want to send any of the messages, it can be easily deleted. Deleting it is done by specifying the type
message in a text massage and assigning it only the # sign.
Example:
abcd RE4=# - deleting message RE4
Using the commands: see p. 9 –Practical Example
Password Change
The Login password can be changed and the change is recommended for safety reasons. This password is set to
abcd by default.
H= - command to change your password
Example:
Change the abcd factory password to pqcr while requiring a confirmation of the command execution. Send GECON
the following text message:
abcd H=pqcr SETUP
RELAY Function Setting
GECON has one switching relay which can be used as output. After restart, the relay is open. It can be remotely
controlled via a text message or set for the purpose of indicating faults.
R=OFF - open relay permanently
R=ON - close relay permanently
R=TROUBLE - set the mode GSM problem indication mode through relay, the setting is not
related to fault inputs (the relay is permanently closed if the GSM network is
available)
R=10 - generate impulse with the relay for 10 seconds (maximum interval can be
60 seconds), impulse is understood as a change in the current status of the relay
to reverse and back.
