3.1 - SIM Card Installation
The SMS alarm sender takes a Micro SIM card which must be from a network operator who offers the CAT-M1 700Mhz frequency. At
the time of printing all SIM cards that use the Telstra network will be compatible. Other network providers will be compatible when
they support CAT-M1 modules.
1. Ensure power to the panel is OFF.
2. Firstly, ensure that the SIM card is activated with credit and ready to send text messages.Also,ensure that the SIM PIN is disabled.
3. Insert the SIM card with the chip gold plate facing down and the missing corner to be inserted in first. See pictures below.
4. The SIM needs to be pushed in firmly. Ensure that it fits properly in the SIM holder.

Install SIM card with gold chip facing
down and missing corner first
Ensure SIM card is pressed in firmly and fits
properly in the SIM holder
3.2 - Enable Battery Backup
To have the SMS alarm sender operating when power fails,the internal battery
must be connected. With power isolated, connect the loose wire near the
battery labelled ‘CONNECT BEFORE POWER IS APPLIED’. See image to the right.
If power is to be isolated for more than 7 days ensure this wire is disconnected
to prevent the battery going flat.
3.3 - Testing Mobile Connection
The SMS alarm sender is tested and programmed by sending SMS messages
to the SIM card’s phone number.
1. Check the SMS controller’s indicator lights to ensure that power is on and
sim card is connected to mobile network. If there is no reply, check the
indicator lights status table below:
