last acknowledge. A aafter the ID number means it is a

normal alarm. A bafter the ID number means it is a low

battery alarm. Se below.

Inputs:

2a Indicates the ID of the units where the alarm sensor is still

active. In this example it means the input in unit ID 2 is

active and must be deactivated before you acknowledge

the alarm.

Units:

1; 2/24; 3/22 Indicates the IDs for the units connected to the master

unit. Also the temperature at each Alarmbox is indicated.

Temp:

24; 24,2 Indicates the temperature at the master unit.

Tstat:

OFF Indicates the status of the Thermostat function.

Low battery warning

If the battery is low the unit will send an SMS with a bafter the ID number.

Replace the battery.

Installation

1. Power up you Ontech master unit.

2. Deactivate the alarm function in the master unit by sending an SMS with the

content:

ABCD*7*0# (ABCD is the PINCODE you have decided, see your manual for

the master unit.)

3. Remove the cabinet from the Alarmbox by unscrew the screw and fold up

the upper part.

4. Set the unit ID number

a. Factory setting is ID 2. If you have two or more Alarmboxes you sure want

to know which one that is sending the alarm. DIP-switch 6, 7 and 8 is used

to set ID number according to the table below.

ID Switch 6 Switch 7 Switch 8

ID2 OFF OFF ON

ID3 OFF ON OFF

ID4 OFF ON ON

ID5 ON OFF OFF

ID6 ON OFF ON

ID7 ON ON OFF

ID8 ON ON ON

5. Set the radio channel

a. Normally you do not have to change this. If two or more Ontech system

is working close to each other or if there is other types of interference

another radio channel can be set. DIP-switch 2, 3, 4 and 5 is used for this

purpose. They can be set in any position but most important that the

setting is same on master unit and all connected Alarmboxes.

6. Attach the bottom part of the cabinet with two screws at the place you want.

If the magnetic switch shall be used the magnet is placed along the left

side of the Alarmbox (se ﬁgure) and is centred along the side. The distance

between the Alarmbox and the magnet must not be more than 3 mm.

7. Connect alarm sensors

a. The built-in magnetic switch

If the built-in magnetic switch shall be used at for example a door or win-

dow you must disconnect the cable jumper between the NC and GND

terminal.

b. Alarm sensor with Normally Closed (NC) operation

The relay output from the alarm sensor is normally closed. When alarming

the circuit is opened. Many PIR devices is constructed in this way.

Disconnect the cable jumper on the terminals NC and GND connectors

and connect instead the two cables from the alarm sensor.

c. Alarm sensor with Normally Open (NO) operation

The relay output from the alarm sensor is normally open. When alarming

the circuit is closed. For example level guards are constructed in this way.

Connect the cables in the NO and GND connectors on the terminal. NB,

The cable jumper should NOT be removed.

8. Take away the plastic insolation strap from the battery. Now the red LED is

blinking a couple of times.

9. Press the microswitch. The red LED shall now single blink or double blink one

or two times. If it is a double blink an alarm sensor is active.

If it is single blinking or double blinking three times it means that the unit has

no connection with the master unit. Control the setting of the radio channel

and control/adjust the distance between the Alarmbox and the master unit.

10. Attach the cover of the cabinet and ﬁx it with the screw. If you have con-

nected an alarm sensor with wires it is necessary to make a hole for it in the

lower left corner.

11. Press the button on the main unit at least two times in order to acknowledge

the alarm sent when the Alarmbox was powered.

12. Make a status request to the main unit by sending an SMS with the content

ABCD#8#. You shall receive a reply SMS with information of which units that

are connected to the master unit. For interpreting the SMS, se next side.

13. Activate the alarm function on the master unit by sending an SMS with the

content ABCD#7*1#.

14. Activate the alarm sensor and check that all telephones on the alarm list

receives the Alarm SMS.

Introduction

• Ontech Alarmbox 9012 is a wireless device which send alarms to Ontech

GSM 9020 and Ontech GSM 9030 via a short range radio at frequency 2,4

the master unit.

• The Alarmbox is sending an alarm message when one of the alarm inputs;

NO (Normally Open) eller NC (Normally Closed) has been activated. A

built-in magnetic switch is connected in parallel with the NC input. There

is also a sabotage alarm, a microswitch is activated when the cabinet cover

is removed.

• The Alarmbox has a built-in temperature sensor and in all messages from

the unit the temperature is reported.

• Up to seven Alarmboxes can individually be connected to each main unit.

One or more Ontech Relay 9010 in your Ontech system decreases the

number of Alarmbox you can connect. Highest total sum of Ontech Relay

9010 and Alarmbox units is seven.

• Operating range is at least 30 meters in free ﬁeld. Construction and material

in houses aﬀect the indoor operating range.

• In this manual all commands are described as SMS commands.

• Ontech also has developed apps for Android system and Iphones. Inside

those apps the function is described. Search on Ontech control on Google
