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
0-20mA: Dip switch nr. 2 on
PT100: Dip switch nr. 3 on
Profort probes: Dip switch nr. 4 on
Each analog input has 4 Dip-switches.
Equipment and probes must be connected
between gnd and Ain1.

3. PREPARE PC
Start by connecting the serial converter and finding
the COM-port number on the PC.
3.1 Connect PC
1. Connect the COM-port output of the unit to
COM1 or the USB plug on the PC. Use a 9
pole serial cable or a USB to RS 232 serial
converter. The illustration below shows the
connections used in a RS232 cable.
Minimum requirements, PC:
Windows 95, 32 Mbyte RAM
Monitor, 800x600 screen
COM-port or USB-port
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.
3.3 Find Com-number
3. Select the menu START on your PC.
4. Select Control panel > System.
5. Select Hardware > and the first button
just below.
6. Select Ports.
Read the USB-to-Serial COM-Port.

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, 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: Make/close on input 0.
•B0: Break/open on input 0
If the unit is to be set up with user defined texts these can be encoded by means of the enclosed program
”Quick-setup”.
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 input
The central unit has 1 analog input 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 input
’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.

’Activate digital input’: The input 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.: <S0> will close relay.
