2. MOUNTING
The unit has a built-in GSM-modem. All types of
SIM-cards can be used except from 3G cards.
However it is recommended to use a SIM-card
“Pay and go” instead of an ordinary SIM-card
because the latter often has an expiry date after
e.g. 6 months.
Prepare the central unit
1. Lift the front cover of the unit.
The unit must be turned off!
2. Connect all relay-outputs and inputs to
the unit. Use at least 24 AWG – or
stronger if possible.
Install SIM-card
3. Insert the SIM-card
to be used into a
GSM-mobile phone.
4. Check that the SIM-card’s PIN code is set
to 1234 (default for most telephone
companies). If not, set the PIN code to
1234 or deactivate the PIN code.
5. Check if it is possible to call from the
card, and send/receive SMS.
6. Remove the SIM-card fromf the GSM-
mobile phone and insert it into the GSM-
unit.
7. Check that any inputs and
relay-outputs are properly
connected and place the
front cover onto the central
unit again.
8. Connect the central unit to 230 VAC or
12-24 V AC/DC. Wait approx. 10 sec.
while the GSM-modem makes contact to
the GSM-network. When you hear 4
’beeps’ and the red LED lights
continuously for approx. 20 sec. the unit
is ready.
9. Send, if necessary, a SMS with ”1234
OK” to get the GSM signal strength. It
must be higher than 25%.
Electric mounting
The unit can be mounted on a DIN-rail.
1. If the GSM-conditions are bad, replace
the internal antenna by an external
antenna.
2. Mount, if necessary, 9V rechargeable
battery.
3. Connect outputs:
Relay-outputs are potential free relay
contacts that break (NO) or make (NC)
by means of instructions to the unit. As
default all relay-outputs are open.
4. Connect digital inputs:
Digital inputs are optocouplers. The
inputs are activated by 0V default (gnd)
or 24 VDC on inputs (can be changed in
the set-up program). If the supply is
removed the inputs will deactivate. In
both cases an alarm can be sent from
the central unit.
NB! Input 0 can also be used for
activating/deactivating the unit (toggle
switch or bell switch).
Input 1 can be used for counting pulses.
GND or 24V on inputs, selected as
option in the PC-software.

5. Connect analog inputs:
As default the analog inputs function as
ordinary digital inputs (all Dip - switches
off). If the analog inputs are to be
adapted to standard equipment:
0-10VDC, 0-20 mA or PT100 probe, the
Dip-switches in the GSM-modem must
be adjusted as illustrated below.
DIP switches for analog inputs
Digital: Dip-switch 1-4 off
0-10VDC: Dip-switch nr. 1 on (others off)
0-20mA: Dip switch nr. 2 on (others off)
PT100: Dip switch nr. 3 on (others off)
Profort probes: Dip switch nr. 4 on (others off)
Each analog input has 4 Dip-switches.
Equipment and probes must be connected
between gnd and Ain1 or between gnd and
Ain2.
Without SIM-card
If the unit is connected without a SIM-card it is
important to remove the front cover. Otherwise
the unit will try to reach the GSM-net and any
progamming from a PC will be blocked.

3.2 Set-up via USB-RS232 serial
converter
When the USB cable is connected to the USB
plug on the PC Windows provides the PC with a
COM-number. A PC can have more than one
COM-port, and the actual COM-number
provided by Windows depends on which COM-
port is used for setting up the unit. Therefore it is
necessary to check which COM-number
Windows has given to the selected COM-port.
1. Install the driver enclosed with the USB-
converter and follow the instructions for
this product.
2. Connect the USB-cable to the USB-plug
on the PC.
Notice that the next time you connect the
USB-cable to either the same or another
COM-port the given COM-number can have
been changed.

5. SETTING UP WITH ”QUICK-SETUP”
Start Quick set-up on the PC and follow the set-up instructions through the 4 windows. The settings will
be stored in unit’s ’flash memory’ and can be recovered in case of power failure. If the unit is coded
without a SIM-card the front cover must be removed.
Window 1: Modem
Present password: The password of the unit. When starting set-up the default password 1234 must be
applied. Remember that the PIN-code of the SIM-card in the unit also has to be
1234 when starting set-up.
GSM-number: Here the telephone number of the SIM-card in the unit is entered (optional unless the
clock-function is applied).
New password: Only numbers – not letters (4 digits). Here a new password, if required, is entered.
The PIN-code of the SIM-card will be changed similarly. If the password must be
deactivated the new password must be: 0000.
ID: Numbers or letters. Here an ID of the unit (max. 32 digits), if required, is entered.
Can be sent with all alarms.
NB! The password is applied for sending commands to the unit. The ID is transmitted
from the unit in case of alarm. If no ID is entered the password will also be the ID.

Window 2: Receiver(s)
It is possible to encode max. 25 receivers/ telephone numbers.
Forward alarms
Alarm messages can be forwarded as SMS, Voice, DTMF or E-mail. If you wish to receive both a SMS and
an analog voice message it is necessary to set up the same telephone number twice. A phone number can
be of max. 15 digits. An E-mail address can be of max. 48 characters.
Zone
In the field ’Zone’ (optional) is indicated whether all alarm messages are to be forwarded to the entered
telephone number or if this actual telephone number is to be called only in case of alarm from a specific
zone (0-7). Only one zone can be entered. If the same telephone number is to be called in case of alarm
from e.g. 2 zones the actual telephone number must be entered twice. If the field ’Zone’ is empty, alarm
from all zones will be received. The field ‘Zone’ disappears when the option ‘Approve’ is active.
Approve telephone numbers
If one or more telephone numbers are selected in the field ‘Approve’ the unit accepts SMS and analog
calls only from these numbers.
NB!: If the approved telephone number is not correct it is necessary to connect a cable in order to contact
the unit.

Window 3: Inputs
if the unit is not to be set up with user defined texts the unit will send the following standard messages in
case of alarm:
• S0 .. S7: Make/close on input 0 to 7.
• B0 .. B7: Break/open on input 0 to 7..
If the unit is to be set up with user defined texts these can be encoded by means of the enclosed program
”Quick-setup”.
Enter F1 in order to access the help menu for setting op the unit.
Text for inputs
In the window ’Inputs’ the text (max. 64 characters) to be displayed when an input changes position
is entered.
It is not necessary to enter a text also for closed position. That is if the activated relay is within a distance
of where it is possible to go inspect the problem. But it can be helpful if you are far away from the
activated relay and need a feedback on whether e.g. an irrigation plant has been inspected and again
functions normally.
If an alarm is to be sent only from the inputs which have a text, select either ‘ID + Text’ (return ID an
alarm text) or ‘Text’ (return only alarm text) in the field ‘Only send the alarm if text is entered’. Thereby
empty inputs will be filtered.
If ’Only send the alarm if text is entered’ is empty all alarms will be sent whether a text is entered or not.

Zone
”Zone” is optional and can be used for locating alarms in categories, e.g. some alarms in zone 1 and
other alarms in zone 2.
Filter
If “Filter” is selected, alarms will be sent only if the position of the input has been constant during the
filter time. See description of filter time below.
Analog inputs
The central unit has 2 analog inputs to which technical equipment can be connected in order to measure
an exact value, e.g. a temperature. In the field ‘Type’ select measuring equipment (0-10 V, 0-20 mA, PT
100, Profort 007995, Profort 007990). If the field ’Type’ is empty the analog inputs function as digital
inputs.
For 0-10V and 0-20mA the values for voltage and milliamp are optional for volt (fra –999 til +999). No
decimales.
Example:
In Scale (min max) define the values for 0V and 10V. ‘Min’ corresponds to 0V and ‘Max’
corresponds to 10V (default setting). Define e.g. that -20ºC corresponds to 0V and 60ºC corresponds to
10V. For the other measuring equipment in the list the values are already entered but can be modified.
In Alarm (min max) define the allowed interval. Define e.g. that min. is 0ºC and max. is 30ºC.
If the value gets higher or lower than the values in the Alarm (min/max) interval an alarm text (max. 64
characters) will be sent. For instance if the temperature drops below 0ºC or rises to 31ºC. The message
will be displayed in the inbox or on a mobile phone.
An Ok text (max. 64 characters) will be returned when the value is again between Alarm min. and max. If
information on a value is required, e.g. the temperature in a room, a request can be sent to the unit either
by SMS with the command V1 R
Set up inputs
’Input 0 used for connecting/disconnecting: Select how to change position on input. Either by using
‘Level’ (level control) or ‘Pulse’ (pulse control). If empty input 0 is a regular alarm input.
‘Input 1 used for counting pulses’: If selected input 1 is used for counting pulses. If empty
input 1 is a regular alarm input.
’Filter time’: Indicates a variable filter time for inputs. In the field ‘Filter’ for inputs is selected which
inputs are going to use the entered filter time. Select 10 sec., 20 sec., 40 sec., 1 min., 2 min., 4
min., 8 min., 15 min. and 30 min.
‘Only send the alarm if text is entered’: If a text is entered for inputs and wireless detectors, the alarm will
be sent. If there is no text, the alarm will not be sent. ‘ID + Text’: sends position, ID and text.
‘Text’: sends only text. The alarm text can be adapted to interface to pager systems or CCTV via
the serial port.

Ver. 2.02
12
‘Send different voice messages’: If the option is selected, a voice message for open input and another
voice message for closed input can be sent. If empty the voice message is the same for open and
closed state.
’Activate digital inputs’: The inputs can be set to GND or 24 VDC mode. In GND mode the input is
activated by a 0 VDC supply (GND) and input is closed. If the supply is removed inputs will open.
In 24 VDC mode the input is activated by a 24 VDC supply and input will close. If the supply is
removed the input will open.
All digital inputs are either gnd or 24 VDC mode.
Activating commands in the text field
It is possible to enter one or more commands in the text field for digital and analog inputs so that a SMS-
message will be sent and at the same time a command will be carried out when the input changes it’s
position.
Commands in the beginning of the text field means that the command will be carried out also if the unit
is disconnected. If the command is at the end of the text field the command will not be carried out when
the unit is disconnected.
Example of a command in the text:
In this example the command OK means that the unit sends the actual GSM signal strength to all
telephone numbers when input 0 is open, e.g. by pressing a button. The receiver gets a SMS with the
signal strength in percent.
If no message is to be sent when input 0 shifts from open to closed position no text is to be entered in the
field ”Text when input is closed”.
 Several commands must be separated
by a semicolon.
 Commands start with < and ends with > ,
e.g.: <S1;S2;S3> will close relay 1, 2, and 3.
Example: time schedule
The Input index can also be applied for managing a time schedule. Initially it is necessary to register the
list of phone numbers to be included in the time schedule:

multiGuard® Light
Remote control and alarm via GSM
Setting up with

Ver. 2.02
13
If the same person is to receive both a SMS and a voice call the same phone number must be entered
twice in the call list, e.g. in a way that Peter has position 1+2 ([phone]), Bob position 3+4
([phone]) and John position 5-6 ([phone]).
The priority in the call list means that an alarm will be sent to Peter first as SMS and afterwards as voice
call. Then to Bob as SMS followed by a voice call and finally to John as SMS/voice call.
At day 1 Peter and Bob have the shift. The second day Bob and John have the shift. The third day only
John has the shift. The following is entered in the input index:
By closing input 0 an alarm will be sent to receiver 1+2/ 5+6 (Peter/Bob). By closing input 1 an alarm will
be sent to receiver 3+4/5+6 (Bob/John). By closing input 2 an alarm will be sent to receiver 1+2 (Peter). It
is the latest closed input-action that is valid. For instance if input 1 is closed first and afterwards input 2,
the alarm will be sent to NR 12 until another input is closed.
Example: connecting zones
In order to connect just one zone the following command is sent to the unit:
In the example zone 1 will be connected when input 0 is open. The command must start with the sign <
and end with the sign >
In order to connect more zones at the same time enter the actual zones separated by a semicolon:
In the example the zones 1 and 3 will be connected when input 0 is open. It is necessary to repeat ON in front of each zone.
Max. 7 zones (Z0 – Z7) can be connected.

long. 10 sec., 20 sec., 40 sec., 1 min., 2 min., 4 min., 8 min., 15 min., Infinitely, Reflect inputs.
0 indicates that outputs don’t activate. ‘Reflect inputs’ indicates that outputs reflect the
corresponding inputs, if a text is entered.
’Relay outputs reflect connected/disconnected’: If selected outputs will be closed when the unit is
disconnected and open when the unit is connected. If the field is not completed the relay
functions as usual.
‘Send message to receivers’: If selected an alarm message will be sent to approved receivers/phone
numbers in the list when connecting or disconnecting the unit. If not selected no message will
be sent when connecting or disconnecting the unit.
‘Return command’: If selected the unit returns the command to approved receivers/ telephone numbers in
the call list when the unit is connected/disconnected. If not selected the unit doesn’t return a
command.
‘Send also sabotage alarm…’: If selected a sabotage alarm will be sent also when the unit is
disconnected. If not selected no sabotage alarm will be sent when the unit is disconnected.
‘Send power alarm immediately’: If selected the unit sends the text ‘Power alarm’ immediately in case
that the external power supply fails. Afterwards the unit runs for 30 min., where after it shuts
down. If the power returns, within 30 min., the default text ‘Power Ok’ will be sent. If not
selected: the unit runs for 30 min. waiting for the power to return. If the power doesn’t return

the unit sends the same power alarm as before after 30 min. and then shuts down. When the
power returns the unit sends the standard text ‘Power Ok’.
Status
’Interval’: Select either ‘Every week’, ‘Every day’, or ‘Number of 15 min’ for how often the unit must send
a status message from inputs. If the status function is active the unit sends a status
message also when it is disconnected. The function is available for analog and digital inputs
with a text. Can show closed/open state, an analog value or number of pulses. If there is a
command in a text field for the actual input the command will be carried out at the same time.
’Time’: Indicates the time for sending a status message about the position of inputs. Use TTMM for
‘Every week’ (always Wednesday) and ‘Every day’. For ‘Number of 15 min’ indicate the interval
between status messages, e.g. 0004 for each hour.
’Timer’: Indicates the time for automatic disconnection/connection of the unit. If only automatic
connection is needed, the option ‘Disconnect’ must be empty. Use the format TTMM.
Outputs
’Open’: Indicates normal position of relays. If outputs must close by activation of alarm, select the
option ‘Open’. Outputs will be open when starting the set-up.
’Closed’: Indicates normal position of relays. If outputs must open by activation of alarm, select the
option ‘Closed’. Outputs will be closed when starting the set-up.
Macros
’Macro name’: Here a command of free choice is entered by using a text of up to 16 characters, e.g. ‘Start
pump’. This macro text replaces the system command and is to be sent to the unit as SMS or
instruction in stead of an ordinary command.
’Commands’: Here enter the command or more commands to be attached to the selected
macro name. Several commands must be separated by semicolon, e.g. S0; PS 5; B0 for closing
relay 0, pause for 5 sec. and then open relay 0.
Max. 10 macros can be registered (M0-M9).
When the set-up procedure is conducted press the button ’Execute’. Remember that there has to be a
serial connection to the unit (or a modem). The text “Connection to Modem” will appear in the bottom
left corner. During the transmission of the settings the unit ’beeps’ several times.

6. SETTING UP WITH SMS
The unit can be set up with SMS from a GSM-
mobile phone. The set-up will then be
transferred as SMS-commands.
Commands consists of the following:
• Password of 4 digits *
• space *
• Command of 2 characters
• space
• parameter as text
max. 64 characters.
*) only omitted if the password is deactivated.
Example:
1234 A0 PUMP OFF
NB!: Each part of the command must be
separated by a semicolon. The text can
be of max. 64 characters. Spaces count
as a character.
When starting the set-up use the
password of the unit as PIN-code when
the SIM-card is taken in use.
The PIN-code of the SIM-card must
always be 1234 the first time the unit
is installed or a new SIM-card is
installed.
If you don’t know the password the
unit can always be restarted by
changing the PIN-code to 1234 in a
mobile phone, if necessary enter PUK-
code and reinstall the SIM-card.
Password will now be 1234
The following commands for setting up the unit
can be sent by SMS.
Shift PIN-code
1234 N0 99999999 yyyy
(99999999 = mobile nr. of the unit. Y = new
password of 4 digits).
Changing the PIN-code is optional but protects
against unauthorized use. If the clock-function is
activated it is necessary to encode own
telephone number. Otherwise the information is
not applied.
Lost password
If you have lost the password do the following:
1. Remove the power from the unit, incl.
back-up battery.
2. Insert the SIM-card in a mobile phone
and change the PIN-code to 1234
(PUK code can be necessary).
3. Mount the SIM-card in the unit and
connect the power.
The password for setting up the unit by SMS is
now 1234
Deactivate password
1234 N0 99999999 0000
If deactivated 1234 is omitted when sending
commands.
Setting up receiver(s)
If the unit is supposed to send alarms it is
necessary to set up receivers. Max. 25 receivers
named 1..9 and A..P can be set up. Alarms can
be received as:
1. SMS
2. voice call
3. DTMF (IBS protocol)
4. e-mail (service depends on the telephone
company)
Example:
1234 N1 99999999
Sets up receiver nr. 1: SMS.
(99999999 = telephone nr.)
Example:
1234 N2 99999999 #
Sets up receiver nr. 2: voice call.
If the person who receives a voice call presses the #
button the call will not be forwarded to other receivers, if
any. The unit ends the call immediately.

Example:
1234 N4 200 [email protected]
Sets up receiver nr. 4: e-mail (200= Telephone
company’s e-mail service). The E-mail address =
max. 48 characters.
N5..N9 and NA..NP address the other 21
receivers in the call list.
Delete receiver
1234 Nz
Deletes receiver on position z. (z=1..9, A..P).
Setting up zone for receiver
Receivers can be connected to certain zones so
that certain alarms will be sent to certain
receivers. Requires that inputs are put into zones
(see ”Setting up alarm in zone”).
1234 Zn 99999999
Z=zone 0..7, n=receiver 1-9, A-P, 99999999=
telephone nr.
Example:
13 = zone 1 on receiver no. 3
41 = zone 4 on receiver no. 1 etc.
Approve telephone numbers
If only certain telephone numbers are allowed to
contact the unit send the following command:
1234 Nz 99999999 +
z = available receiver position: 1..9, A..P.
Only telephone nr. 99999999 can contact the
unit. Other numbers are rejected.
If more telephone numbers should be approved
send one more command with a telephone nr.
In order to cancel the approval it is necessary to
delete the receiver.
Change the priority of receivers
The order of alarm calls can be changed with
just one SMS. This is used for instance in order
to change duty rosters so that one week alarms
will be directed to nr. 1, 2 and 3, the following
week to nr. 4, 5 and 6. It is only necessary to
send one SMS at the start of the week e.g. ‘1234
NR 123’.
1234 RN nnn…(n=0..9 , A..P).
Calls are executed only to selected positions and
in the listed order.
1234 RN
The calling sequence is restored to normal: from
the first to the last receiver.

6.1 SETTING UP DIGITAL INPUTS
In stead of default texts it is possible to set up
user defined texts which are displayed when
inputs changes their position. The text can be
defined for open and for closed position. The
following commands are sent by SMS:
Set up text
1234 Ax TEXT
Sets up text for input x (x=0..7) which will be
shown on open/break.
1234 Lx TEXT
Sets up text for input x (x=0..7) which will be
shown on close/make.
Delete text
1234 Ax
Deletes text on input x (x=0..7) on open/break.
1234 Lx
Deletes text on input x (x=0..7) on close/make.
Send alarm only if text is entered
If an alarm is wanted only when input is open or
closed enter a text only in the wanted position
and send the following command:

have a text.
1234 CN
Sets the unit to send position, ID and text from
inputs which have a text.
1234 CF
Sets the unit to send alarm even if no text is
entered.
Set up zone for digital input
Inputs can be put into zones in a way that
alarms from certain inputs are directed to certain
receivers. Zones can also be applied to prevent
an input from sending alarm if there hasn’t been
entered any number for the actual zone (e.g.
heat control).
1234 Ax Zy TEXT
Sets up text for input x (x=0..7) in zone y
(y=0..7) on open/break.
1234 Lx Zy TEXT
Sets up text for input x (x=0..7) in zone y
(y=0..7) on close/make.
Use input 0 for
connection/disconnection
1234 RN

level switch (toggle switch).
1234 RP
Sets up connection/disconnection by means of a
pulse switch (call switch).
1234 RF
Deactivates connection/disconnection on
input 0.
Set up delayed
connection/disconnection
Alarms can be delayed for 30 sec., so that
connection/disconnection can be done without
activating alarm.
1234 Lx Wy TEXT
Sets up text for input x (x=0..7) on ’close/make’
and delays the alarm for 30 sec. in zone y
(y=0..7).
1234 Ax Wy TEXT

that a SMS-message will be sent and at the
same time a command will be carried out when
the input changes it’s position.
Example:
1234 SEND GSM SIGNAL STRENGTH
<OK>
Sends the current GSM signal strength to all
phone numbers when input 0 is open, e.g. by
pushing a switch. The receiver gets a SMS with
the signal strength in percent.
Commands start with < and end with > More
commands must be separated by a semicolon,
e.g. <S1;S2;S3>
Commands in the beginning of a text means that
the command will be carried out even if the unit
is disconnected.
6.2 SET UP ANALOG INPUTS
The GSM-unit can read analog values on two
analog inputs (Ain1 + Ain2) and, if required,
control the outputs as a function of the reading:
The following information must be entered:
 Scale (min/max): limit values of the
measuring equipment.
 Alarm (min/max): lower and upper limit
for alarm.
 Alarm text: Message when the measuring
goes from normal interval to alarm
interval.

6.3 SETTING UP OUTPUTS
Relay-outputs can be activated when the inputs
changes their position.
The outputs are deactivated as default. They can
be activated as follows:
1. From 10 sec. to 15 min. or constant.
Output 0-3 follows zone 0-3.
2. Output follows input. Output 0-3
follows input 0-3 incl. Ain1 and Ain2
but only for inputs where a text is
entered. This set-up excludes ”show
connection/disconnection”.
3. Output shows connection/
disconnection. Output 0..3 shows
connection/disconnection on zone
0..3.
4. Combined alarm and connection/
disconnection. Output 0..1 follows
zone 0..1. Output 2..3 shows
connection/disconnection on zone
0..1.
5. Disconnection in case of alarm.
