2. Set up overview
You will need:
SIM card:
The SIM must operate on the 2G or 3G network. Most network providers provide 2G or 3G cover,
check with your supplier.
Credit on the SIM (we recommend automatic top-ups)
The SIM is not PIN protected
The SIM is set to disable voicemail
Avoid SIM cards that deactivate automatically if the SIM is not used often (If your SIM will do this
and if your G033 is likely to be unused for long periods of time you will have to send the G033 an
update request periodically to keep the SIM card active.)
Power supply cable: make sure it is long enough to reach your device in its final location.
Check there is mobile network reception for your SIM card in the location that your device will be installed
(you can check by putting the SIM card in a mobile phone)
Installation:
1. Download and install the app for mobile phones. https://www.quark-elec.com/downloads/apps/
2. Select G033 location: location must be indoors and not exposed to water or high humidity.
3. Connect the relay output (if required): check relay setup for whether you want relays in normal open (NR) or
normal closed (NC) position. Think about length of wires needed to connect.
4. Connect alarm inputs (if required): alarm inputs must send signal as switches closing circuit to input 1/2 or by
sending low voltage signal to input 1/2. Think about length of wires needed to connect.
5. Insert your SIM into the G033 device (make a note of the SIM number first for reference)
6. Connect to power: Check LEDs are working correctly.
Red LED: will flash at 1 second intervals once the system has finished initialization. It will then stop flashing every
time it is operating a command
Blue LED: LED will flash blue at start up as it looks for a network signal. Once a signal has been found the LED will
flash much slower.
7. Register the main phone number that will control the device within 10 minutes of powering up the G033.
Register the main mobile terminal with G033 module by texting ‘88888888’ from your chosen phone to G033 SIM
card. If registration is successful, the module will reply with “Your phone has been registered”. If unsuccessful,
the module will reply with ‘registered disabled’. If registration is unsuccessful, restart the device and reattempt
registration within 10 minutes of powering up the device.
The system LED will flash after registration is completed. You can add up to 3 secondary control mobile phones
using text/APP codes (check the manual for full list of text codes).
8. You can now send commands and receive messages either by text or through the text generating APP.
Remember; the device processes one command at a time. Each command will have a reply to confirm the
command has been received and executed. You must wait for a reply message before sending another command.
This is an overview only. Familiarize yourself with the manual before installation.

3. Introduction
The G033 series remote controller is a versatile device which can be connected to many electronic devices in homes,
offices, factories or wherever required. The standard G033 includes two digital alarm inputs, three independent relay
switches.
It allows operators to control and monitor remote equipment or machines using SMS (Short Message Service) via
the 3G network. Up to 4 mobile phone numbers (SIM card numbers) can be linked to each G033 remote controller (1
main control terminal, and up to 3 additional control terminals). These mobile phones can belong to technicians,
engineers or individuals who have a requirement to control and/or monitor corresponding devices.
The G033 includes:
Two digital alarm inputs connections: for connection to various inputs to be monitored (an alarm SMS can be
received when either alarm input is triggered. The alarm input can also be set to trigger automated control of the
machinery connected to the Relay outputs 1 and/or 2)
Three relays output connections: for connection to the machinery to be controlled (two with daily timers and
automated control options manual options and one with manual SMS function)
Android and iOS APP: the device can be controlled by either SMS text message codes or an APP for Android
and iOS (iPhone) phones. This is a touch sensitive, user friendly interface.
Four control mobile phones - one main control terminal and up to 3 additional control terminals can be registered
with G033.

5. Preparing SIM card
Please ensure:
The SIM must operate on the 2G or 3G network. Most network providers provide 2Gor 3G cover, check with
your supplier.
There is credit on the SIM (we recommend automatic top-ups)
The SIM is not PIN protected
The SIM is set to disable voicemail
Avoid SIM cards that deactivate automatically if the SIM is not used often (usually after 3 months inactivity).
If you’re SIM will do this and if you’re G033 is likely to be unused for long periods of time; send the G033 an
update request periodically to keep the SIM card active.
Register the SIM card; ensure there is sufficient credit on the card for programming confirmation texts to be sent
from G033 module.
The PIN request option should be disabled from the SIM card before inserting it into the G033 module. To check the
PIN request status of your SIM card, place the card in an unlocked mobile phone and switch the phone on. If
normal calls can be made without entering a PIN number, then it is disabled. Please also make sure voicemail is
disabled before inserting the SIM card into the module.
If a ‘pay as you go’ (PAYG) SIM card is used, it is recommended that users choose to automatically ‘Top-Up’ when
the credit falls below a certain limit. Some PAYG SIM cards will be de-activated by the network if they are not
used to make an outgoing voice call or send an SMS text message within a specific period. To prevent this,
simply send the G033 a text ‘DQSJ’ (this can be done through the APP) and G033 will reply with the local time by
text message. This should be done once a month to keep the SIM card active.
5.1. Insert SIM into the SIM card slot
Write down the SIM number before inserting into G033
The SIM card should be inserted into the SIM card slot before applying the power.
Power Up
The G033 module can be powered by 12.0V to 24.0V DC power supply).
Connect a 12.0V DC power supply to the power screw terminals 1 & 2, ensuring positive is connected to terminal 1
and switch on the power supply.
The blue network LED indicator will initially flash quickly and, once logged onto the network, it will flash more
slowly, approximately once every 2-3 seconds.
The red power LED will flash at 1 second intervals once the system has finished initialization.

6. Configuration
The following steps are required to configure G033 for first time use:
Insert the SIM card into controller box
Power up
Send ‘88888888’ as SMS to the G033 controller. If successful, the user will receive the message ‘Your phone
has been registered’.This command should be received within the first 600 seconds after powering up
G033. Otherwise “registered Disabled” message will be sent back to inform the failure of the main SIM
registration. If this happens, turn off the device and start again.
If additional mobile terminals are required, the operator should send “BDn(mobile terminal number)F” to the
G033 controller. The user will receive the message “Your phone has been registered”.
Up to 3 additional terminals can be configured (the main mobile number registered with the device won’t show
up when “WHORED” is sent).The operator is now ready to use G033. Details about the SMS command and
response messages can be found in the Command List Chapter.
You can control the device by either:
Manually entering the codes by SMS text message
Using the phone APP (android and iOS) interface. Using the APP, you simply select the action you want and the
APP formulates and sends the SMS message for you. This App does not allow you to send messages to
your device for free nor does it work over WiFi.
7. Status LED’s
The device has two working LED’s to notify the user of its current operations. The network LED and the system LED.
Both these LED’s flash depending on their operating status.
Figure 4: LED Indication
BLUE Network LED will flash blue at start up as it looks for a network signal. Once a signal has been found the
LED will flash much slower, about once every 2-3 seconds.
RED System LED will flash at 1 second intervals once the system has finished initialization. It will then stop
flashing every time it is operating a command.

8. Alarm function and digital connection
G033 has two external alarm input connectors and various inputs can be connected to them. For example,
door/windows sensors, smoke alarms, carbon dioxide detectors, motion sensors, thermostats, temperature/wind
detectors, and moisture detectors.
Using these sensors/detectors, G033 can be set up as a protection/alarm and response system.
G033 external alarm inputs are active when a trigger pulse or a constant level of 0 V is applied.
If the sensor/detectors are triggered (they send the low level signal (0 V) to G033); G033 will send out an SMS to the
registered mobile terminals. Meanwhile, the corresponding relays you set up will also be activated. (Alarm function
can be disabled so as not to activate relay or timer; it will still send message to say alarm triggered)

*Note: the Alarm input function is not supported on Relay 3 on the standard G033. However,
the wireless PIR detector works with Relay 3 on the QK-G022P variant. (More details can be
found in the QK-G022P manual).
There are two typical ways the external alarm inputs can communicate with G033. External alarm devices can be
used as,
1. Switch
2. Alarm input source (low level voltage signal)

9. Relay working modes
9.1. Normal open/ normal closed wiring options
The G033 is equipped with three digital output relays for connection to equipment to be controlled. The relays can be
set up in normal open and normal closed positions. This gives the customer the advantage of having it set as a
failsafe if there is a power loss or for timing the relay to open or close with delays.
Figure 6 Relay positions
Normal open position – if common and normal open are wired then relay 1 will be off when powered up. To
activate relay 1 either a message or a command must be received from the user or from input 1. This activates
the relay and closes the circuit turning on the output of relay1.
Normal closed position – if common and normal closed are wired then relay 1 will be active while the G033 is
powered up. This is for fail safe systems where the power going off in the G033 will close relay 1 and activate the
output of relay 1.
It is important to understand that relays wired in ‘normal closed’ position will operate in the opposite way to
‘Normal open’. For example the command to turn the ‘Normal closed’ relay setup OFF will turn the relay ON.
This needs to be taken into account when setting up your designing system.
9.2. Daily timer setting
Daily timer settings are for Relays 1 and 2. They support a daily timer function to control the actions of the output.
This is useful for turning the relays on and off without having to message the device.
The relays will switch to ON/OFF states according to the timer settings.
These relays also support two working modes, self-lock and latching control.

V1.52
9.3. Self-lock vs. latching mode
The G033 allows for two different working modes; self-lock control and latching control. Self-lock allows for the usual
function of the relay where a command from the operator or the device to change is needed. If input from an alarm
then the relay will stay locked on until the command “EXTRT” is sent to the device from the operator (this is also the
same for latching mode).
With latching controls the device will return to its normal status after a period of seconds determined by the user.
This is useful for output devices that don’t need or want to be on for a long time after they have been turned on. For
example alarm horns which might only need to be on for 12 seconds to alert the user.
