Optional programming of the SIM card
In order to use some of the function you want it can be necessary to program more
contacts on the SIM card. See below:
NB! To be sure programming is made in a correct way, you can check by requesting an
SMS with SIM card settings. See page 31.Do this every time you have changed the SIM
card settings.
1. Create a send list for alarms (see page 14).
1) Create a new contact. Name it ”SMS0” (note that 0 is zero and not the
letter O).
2) Enter the mobile phone number for the receiver of the SMS. Save.
3) The following contacts in the send list are named SMS1, SMS2 etc,
and the mobile numbers are entered. All numbers from SMS0 to SMS9
can be used, in total 10 different numbers.
2. Set delay for activation of alarm detector (DELAY) (see page 17).
1) It is possible to set a delayed activation for an alarm detector. This is
for giving you time to deactivate the alarm before the unit is sending
an alarm.
2) Create a new contact. Name it ”DELAYX ”. X is the ID of the alarm
detector you want to delay (values of 1-8 are permitted).
i. Write the numbers of seconds you want to delay in the
telephone number field
Example: You want alarm detector with ID no 6 to b activated
with a delay of 45 seconds. In the name field of the contact,
write “DELAY6” and in the field for the telephone number
write “45”.
3. Activate the temperature guard (TEMP) (see page 20).
1) Create a new contact and name it ”DEGREE”.
i. Write the alarm temperature in the telephone number field. If
the alarm temperature is below zero degrees Celsius, add
zero (“0”) before the temperature. For example; minus 7
degrees C is written as “07”.
2) Create a new contact and name it ”TEMP”.
i. In the telephone number field write ”1” if you want an alarm
if the temperature drops below the alarm temperature given

-8-
in “DEGREE” or write “2” if you want the alarm when the
temperature rises above the alarm temperature.
4. Set active temperature sensor (EXTTEMP) (see page 20).

1) If an internal backup battery (optional) has been connected the unit
alarms when the ordinary power is disconnected. It is possible to set a
delay for this alarm.
2) Create a new contract and name it ”POWERFAIL”.
i. In the telephone number field, write the number of minutes
delay you want (1-40 is allowed)
ii. If the digit ”0” (zero) is set the function will be deactivated.
7. Activation of the GPSFENCE (see page 24).
1) If a GPS receiver (optional) has been connected you can set it to send
an alarm if the unit has been moved from its original position. You can
set at which distance from the original position you want the unit to
send an alarm.
2) Create a new contact and name it ”GPSFENCE”.
i. In the telephone number field write alarm distance in
multiples of 50 meters.
Example: If you want an alarm when the unit has moved 300
meters away from the original position, write the digit “6”

Alarm
Ontech GSM 9020 can alarm in many different ways. All alarms are sent as SMS to the
telephone numbers on the alarm list (see page 7).
The unit can be programmed so the relay activates when there is an alarm, see page17.
Wired alarm
Two alarm inputs where alarm detectors can be connected. Can be set as Normally Open
(NO) or Normally Closed (NC).
Wireless alarm
In the year 2009 Ondico AB will start to sell different wireless alarm units which
communicate with Ontech 9020. Up to 7 different alarm detectors can be connected.
The wireless alarm detectors planned are A. Motion detector, B. Magnet switch/Alarm
box and C. Emergency Alarm button. Also a remote control to turn on/off the alarm will
be offered.
Temperature alarm
The temperature alarm is trigged if the temperature rises above or drops below the
preset alarm temperature. See page 20.
GPS alarm
If a GPS receiver is connected the unit can be set to alarm if it is moved a preset number
of meters from its original position. See page 24.
Battery alarm
The unit alarms if the battery needs to be charged or if the battery is empty.
Power failure alarm

Wired alarm
Connect an alarm detector
When an alarm detector is activated it will either close or open an electric circuit. It can
be a magnetic switch detector, a level detector, a motion detector or any other kind of
sensor..
To connect an alarm detector the unit must be opened. The alarm detectors are
connected to Terminal A, see page 10.
The connector on the terminal has the following markings:
0V Ground
A Alarm input A
B Alarm input B
+12 Voltage 12 V
Switch from Normally Open to Normally Closed mode
Locate the DIP-switch, see Fig 1.
Factory default for switch 1 is OFF. This mean the alarm inputs are set to NO mode. The
unit sends an ALARM A if connectors ”A” and ”+12” are connected and ALARM B if
connectors “B” and “+12” are connected.
If DIP switch 1 is set to ON the mode is switched to NC. The unit sends ALARM A if
connectors ”A” and ”+12” are disconnected and ALARM B if connectors “B” and “+12” are
disconnected.

Delayed activation of alarm detector
Sometimes it can be desired to delay the activation of an alarm detector. This is for
example when you want to go inside the house and deactivate the alarm before it sends
alarm messages.
Program the SIM card (see page 7) as follows:
1) Create a new contact. Name it ”DELAYX ”. X is the ID of the alarm
detector you want to delay (values of 1-8 are permitted).
i. Write the numbers of seconds you want to delay in the
telephone number field
Example: You want alarm detector with ID no 6 to be
activated with a delay of 45 seconds. In the name field of the
contact, write “DELAY6” and in the field for the telephone
number write “45”.
Activation of relay when alarming – Alarmrelay
This function activates the relay when the unit is alarming. This function is useful if you
for example have an alarm detector that alarms when water level is too high, the relay is
activated and turns on a pump.
•The function is activated by adding a contact on the SIM card and name it
”ALARMRELAY”. In the telephone number field, write “1” (see page 7).
•The function is deactivated by removing the contact from the SIM card.
Turn off/on the alarm function
Each time you start up Ontech GSM 9020 the alarm function is turned on 60 seconds
after the green lamp has stopped flashing. This delay is because you shall have time
enough to move away from the alarm detectors (compare with an ordinary alarm). If you
do not want the alarm function to be active, you can deactivate it. If you do not have any
alarm detector connected, you do not have to think about this.
Turn off/on the alarm function with a telephone
1. Call up the unit. Be sure you use tone mode on the telephone.
2. The unit answers with a beep.
3. Press your PINCODE and then #.
Example: 1234#
If the PINCODE is correct the unit replies with a beep. If it is not correct the call
is disconnected. Call again and try.
4. Turn off the alarm function by pressing buttons

-18-
7*0#. The unit replies with a beep. Hang up the receiver. If the unit replies with
two beeps, try again.
5. Turn on the alarm function by pressing buttons
7*1#. The unit replies with a beep. Hang up the receiver. If the unit replies with
two beeps, try again.
Turn off/on the alarm function with an SMS
1. To turn off the alarm function, send an SMS with the following message:
ABCD#7*0# (where ABCD is your PINCODE)
2. Turn on the alarm function again by sending an SMS with the following
message:
ABCD#7*1# (where ABCD is your PINCODE)
Turn off/on the alarm function with the remote control
In the year 2009 Ondico AB will start to sell a remote control. This is used to turn off/on
the alarm.
More information will be published on our web site www.ondico.se.
Tip!
If you want to know if the alarm is turned on or off, you can check this by requesting a
status SMS from the unit (see page 29). When the alarm is turned on there is an asterisk
(*) before the name Ontech9020, It looks like this: *Ontech9020.
When the unit is alarming
Alarm list
When an alarm is activated an SMS will be sent to all mobile telephone numbers on the
alarm list. How to create this list; see page 7. Up to ten different persons can be alerted.
Alarm SMS
Alarm SMS and Status SMS looks identical and shall be interpreted as follows:
Example
Explanation
*Ontech9020
Asterisk (
*
) means alarm function is turned on
Alarm:
1ab, 3b
Indicates all alarms that have been activated since the last
acknowledge. The number indicates the units ID number,
Ontech 9020 is always no 1, and the others refer to the extra
units ore wireless alarm detectors connected.

-19-
Note that these inputs not can send an alarm again before the
alarm has been acknowledged.
Inputs:
1b
Indicates the alarm input that still is activated. In this example
the SMS means that inputs 1a, 1b and 3b has been activated
since the last acknowledge and that input 1b is still activated.
Units:
1*,3,4*
Indicates the units communicating with the Ontech GSM
9020. Unit number 1 is always Ontech GSM 9020. The other
numbers refers to the extra relays (Ontech 9010) connected.
An asterisk (*) after the number indicates that the relay is
turned on.
If Ontech GSM 9020 loose contact with one of the extra relays
unit its ID number will not be shown in the SMS.
Temp: 24; 24,2
Gives the temperature in degrees C. The first number refers to
the internal temperature sensor; the second number refers to
external temperature sensor, if connected. If not connected --
will be written instead.
If there is an asterisk, for example *24,2 before the number
this indicates that the unit has sent a temperature trigged by
this sensor.
Tstat: 25
Indicates the set temperature for the thermostat function. If
thermostat not is activated the message is Tstat: OFF.
Acknowledge an alarm
When an alarm detector has trigged the alarm it has to be acknowledged, before the
unit can send another alarm. Temperature alarms, GPS fence alarm and power fail alarm
do not have to be acknowledged.
Acknowledge an alarm manually
Press the button on the front of the unit at least once. Note that also all alarm from the
extra relays (Ontech 9010) will be acknowledged.
Acknowledge an alarm with a telephone
1. Call up the unit. Be sure you use tone mode on the telephone.
2. The unit answers with a beep.
3. Press your PINCODE and then #.
Example: 1234#

-20-
If the PINCODE is correct the unit replies with a beep. If it is not correct the call
is disconnected. Call again and try.
4. Acknowledge the alarm by pressing the buttons 9#. The unit replies with a
beep. Hang up the receiver. If the unit replies with two beeps, try again. Also
alarms from extra relays (Ontech 9010) will be acknowledged.
Acknowledge an alarm with SMS
1. Send an SMS to the unit with the following message: ABCD#9# (ABCD is your
PINCODE). Also alarms from extra relays (Ontech 9010) will be acknowledged.
Temperature
Temperature sensors
Ontech GSM 9020 will by default use the internal temperature sensor for controlling and
alarming. The accuracy is +/- 3 degrees C. The internal temperature sensor is also
affected by the relay. If the relay is activated it will indicate 1-2 degrees higher than
normal, due to heat produced by the relay.
If you wish higher accuracy (+/- 1) we recommend you to purchase the external
temperature sensor ”Ontech Temp Sensor 9020_002”.
If you wish to use the external temperature sensor for controlling the thermostat and
trigging the temperature alarm you have to program the SIM card for this purpose (see
page 7).
Create a new contact and name it EXTTEMP and in the telephone number field write “1”.
NB. The external temperature sensor is not delivered together with Ontech GSM 9020. It
is optional.
Temperature alarm
Default setting
If the temperature alarm is turned on the unit will send an alarm if the temperature
drops below 5 degrees C. The alarm does not have to be acknowledged but the unit
will not send another alarm before the temperature has reached at least 6 degrees C.
The temperature alarm is not activated by default.
Activate the temperature alarm as follows:
1) Create a new contact and name it ”TEMP”.
