Overview
Ontech GSM 9025 is a mobile unit that controls, alarms and monitors via the GSM mobile network.
The unit is powered by 9-30 VDC and starts up automatically when it is powered. A power adapter
13.8 V is delivered with the unit. The unit is also equipped with an internal backup battery. All
communication with the unit is handled with SMS. In the Android app the SMS is sent and received in
the background.
The cabinet is equivalent to standard IP 65 and thus made for outdoor usage.
The unit has a potential free that can be turned on and turned off remotely. When it is
turned on it can be set to automatically be switched off after a set time between 1 second
and 99 hours. It can also be set to switch on when an alarm sensor is activated, the Auto
Relay function. A special function, the Garage Opener switch on the relay for one second if
the incoming call matches a mobile number that is pre-set to the user list in the Garage
Opener function.
The unit has two wired alarm inputs. They can be set to opening (Normally Closed, NC) or
closing (Normally Open, NO) function. All types of alarm sensors with either closing or
opening function can be connected to the unit. For example fire alarms, PIR, magnet
switches, level guards etc. The unit sends an SMS to all mobile numbers on the Alarm list. Up
to 9 different mobile numbers can be programmed in the Alarm list.
The unit has a built-in temperature sensor that has an accuracy of +/- 2 degrees C when the
relay is turned off. At request the temperature is reported. If a radiator is connected to the
relay the unit can be used to regulate the temperature in the room with the Thermostat
function.
The unit can be set to alarm if the temperature is rising above or drop below a set
temperature value. This temperature alarm can also be combined with the Auto Relay
function so the relay switches on if there is a temperature alarm.
The unit is equipped with a backup battery. The purpose of this is to send an alarm if the
main power fails. This alarm can be set with a delay of up to 40 minutes. If the main power is
restored within the set delay, there will be no alarm sent. When the main power returns
after an alarm a message about this will be sent from the unit.
A GPS-receiver (optional) can be connected to the unit. At request it reports position, speed
and direction. A GPS fence can be activated. It alarms when the unit is removed from its
original position.
Accessory units
Ontech GSM 9025 is equipped with a short range radio in the 2.4 GHz frequency band. This is used
for wireless communication with different accessories. Up to 7 wireless accessories can be connected
with a unique identity, which means they can be separately operated. The working range is about 30
meters in free field, this is often enough in a normal sized one-family house.
At the present the following accessories are available:
Ontech Relay 9015. This is an extra relay which is connected to a wall socket and it has a 230
V outlet that can be controlled through Ontech GSM 9025 (the master unit). In every Ontech

-6 -
Relay 9015 there is two wired alarm inputs that can be set to operate with either Normally
Open or Normally closed function. The unit also contains a temperature sensor.
Ontech Alarmbox 9012 is a small battery powered unit containing a magnetic switch that
sends an alarm if the magnetic switch is activated. The unit also has a wired input that can be
connected to alarm sensors with either Normally Open or Normally closed function. Different
types of alarm sensors can be connected, for example fire alarms, PIR, magnet switches, level
guards etc. Either the magnetic switch or the wired inputs can be used. It also has a built in
temperature sensor that upon request reports the temperature. The battery will work for
approximately 3 years with normal use and the unit will also warn when the battery level is
low.
GPS-receiver. There is a number of GPS-receivers compatible with Ontech GSM 9025. Consult
Ontech web site for more information, www.ontechgsm.com.
External temperature sensor
An external temperature sensor (not included) can be connected in the Temp input contact on the
bottom side. The unit can be set to use either the internal temperature sensor or the external
temperature sensor to control the temperature alarm or the Thermostat function (see Function
settings on page 15). The status message will show the value from both temperature sensors. The
cable is two meters but can easily be extended to up to 10 meters.
Cut the connector on the temperature sensor and remove about 3 mm of the insulation on the leads.
Connect the leads to Terminal A connectors Temp and GND.

Get started
Content in the package
The package contains
Ontech GSM 9025 with antenna
Power Adapter 13.8 V with EU and UK plugs
Quick Start Guide
Start up the unit the first time
SIM card
The unit needs a SIM-card that works in the GSM (2G) mobile network.
The size is a mini-SIM card. This card is approximately 25*15 mm. Also the size called micro-SIM can
be used if a mini-SIM adapter is used.
It is important that the pincode function is disabled on the SIM-card. A pincode is often activated by
the network operator. Deactivate the pincode in a mobile telephone. See the manual for the
telephone.
Some prepaid SIM cards has a voice message that is played the first time the SIM-card is used. This
message is blocking all the SMS functions in Ontech GSM 9025 and must be removed. Put the SIM—
card in a mobile phone and make a voice call that is answered and the voice message is removed.
Prepaid SIM-cards can be used. Have in mind that it is only valid for a certain period of time if it is not
used and not refilled. The communication with the unit can also use up all money and then the
Ontech GSM 9025 cannot send any message or alarm. We strongly recommend that you register the
prepaid SIM-card at the network operator´s web site so you can handle the card via Internet.
Connecting the unit and shutting it off
The unit is activated when it is connected to the power adapter or an external power source. The
green LED will blink for approximately 15 seconds before connecting to the GSM network. It will then
show a constant green light. Position the unit so the text on the front is correctly oriented, otherwise
the temperature measurements might be affected.
If the main power source is compromised in any way the internal back up battery will continue to
power the unit. A message will be sent after 1 minute to all the registered mobile phone numbers on
the alarm list with information that the main power has failed (See Power fail alarms on page 23). To
turn the unit off, simply disconnect the unit from the main power source and hold down the main
button on the unit for approximately 30 seconds.
Installing the unit
1. Connect the antenna to the unit.
2. Place the unit where you want to install it and attach it with two screws in the lower screw
holes. The antenna should be facing down.
3. Open the unit by unplugging the two screws that is positioned on the sides of the bottom of
the unit.
4. Carefully pull off the “plastic hood” from the unit to be able to reach the SIM- card holder. Be
careful when pulling the shell off because there is a possible risk that the flat cable might lose
its attachment.

12. When all the cables are in place, simply turn the screw cap clockwise to create a tight seal.
You can also use plastic tape around the bundle of cables to create a thicker and tighter seal.
13. Pull the hood over the unit and make sure that no cords are pinched or jammed. Put the
screws back into their positions. Also attach a screw in the hole on top of the hood.
14. Connect the power cable to the accumulator and/ or the power adapter to the mains.
a. Make sure that the green lamp starts to flash for about 15 seconds. This indicates
that the unit is searching and is trying to connect to a GSM network.
b. The unit is connected to the GSM network when the green lamp is showing a
constant green light and the unit is now ready for use.
Notice. If the green and the red lamp keeps flashing this means:
No SIM card is inserted.
The PIN code of the SIM card has not been deactivated.
The SIM card has not been inserted properly.
