GETTING STARTED
SIM card preparation
Choose the right SIM cards
SIM cards from any network on prepaid or on contract
(recommended) can be used. Choose network/s with the best
coverage in the area and the best SMS rates.
NOTE – Make sure that sufficient airtime or SMS bundles are
loaded. Air time loading methods are network specific.
Disable SIM PIN before installation
The SMX will not function with a SIM PIN enabled. Disable the
PIN by inserting it in a mobile phone and deselecting the SIM
PIN function. If a PIN is not requested when the phone is
switched on, the PIN has been disabled.
CLIP (Calling Line Identification Presentation)
A CLIP enabled SIM is required for missed call functions. Most
pre-paid SIMs are CLIP enabled, but contract SIMs usually
carry additional charges for CLIP.
SIM churning
Prepaid SIMs that do not produce billable events for about
three months are churned (de-activated by the network).
Configure a regular self test SMS to keep SIMs active.
IMPORTANT
When using dual SIMs configure the SMX to periodically use
the redundant SIM to avoid churning. See remote
configuration leaflet.
Signal strength
Network signal strength can be improved by using a blade
antenna or repositioning the unit. A minimum of 1-2 bars,
indicated on a mobile phone in the same position, is required.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT insert or remove SIM cards
while the unit is powered!
Install PC software and connect to the unit
Status screen
Refer to the status screen in the programming application for
SIM, network, battery and hardware status information.
Configure the message centre number/s
The unit cannot reply to SMS messages if the correct
message centre number/s are not selected. Input the
number/s manually if not listed.
Power requirements
The unit operates between 10-16V DC.
- 60mA when idle with no inputs or relays active
- 300mA (average) when GSM active
- 1000mA (peak) during power up
- 120mA with I/O expander connected (idle with no inputs
or relays active)

Contact ID messaging
Connect the TIP and Ring terminals on the unit to the alarm
panel telephone interface and install jumper J17.
NOTE: the Contact ID account code is not sent as the unit
identifies itself via the Unit Reporting Name description.
Set custom CID messages
Understandable messages can be input to replace standard
Contact ID information.
CID message distribution
Unwanted messages can be limited by selecting the recipient
numbers which should receive messages in the telemetry list.
Select this option to simulate a dial tone for alarm panel.
Communication in this mode is substantially faster.
IMPORTANT
In order for the Contact ID interface to function, the
following settings on the alarm panel must be made:
Communications format Ademco Contact ID
Dial format Tone
Wait for dial tone Standard mode - no
TurboCID mode - yes
Central station no. (primary) 1234
SMS MESSAGING
General setup
Set unit time
The unit time is automatically set by the PC programming
software.
Unit reporting name
The reporting name is displayed in each SMS message to
identify from which unit the message is received.
Set the auto test period
Program the unit to send an 'auto test' SMS to the reporting
numbers once a day at a pre-set time. The feature also
prevents prepaid SIM cards being churned by the network
operator.
IMPORTANT
Due to the dual SIM feature, the TX-SMS should be
commanded periodically to use the redundant prepaid
SIM card so that it is not churned. See the remote
command guide on how to do this.
AC input monitoring
The input monitors and reports AC failures. To ensure correct
reporting, insert the DC bypass jumper when a DC voltage
reflecting the AC status is used. See diagram on first page.
AC status delay - The delay prevents unnecessary SMSs
caused by accidental unplugging and tripping or brownout.
Tripping/unplugging - standard setting 10 minutes
Brownout - standard 5 seconds
Default setting - 10 minutes
Battery monitoring
Low battery - reported at 10.8V
Critical battery - reported below 10V
Battery restore - reported when rises above 12V
Set vibration tamper monitoring sensitivity
A built-in vibration sensor sends a tamper SMS when
movement of the unit is detected. Set the sensitivity
appropriate to the installation from 0 - most sensitive to
255 - disabled.
Hardwired input messaging
Use direct connections to alarm panels or other low voltage
equipment (maximum input 16V DC).
Below 2V DC = low
Above 10V = high
Enter message recipient numbers
Enter up to 10 mobile numbers to which SMS messages will
be sent.
Enter the input messages
Input messages define the wording of SMS messages that are
sent when inputs are triggered. Set messages for both high
and low triggers. A blank field generates no message.
Configure message distribution
Use message distribution to avoid unwanted SMS messages
to selected users. Select which input messages are sent to
which of the 10 message recipient numbers.

RELAY SWITCHING
SPDT relays - 10A, 110VDC, 380VAC (non-inductive loads)
Lethal AC should not be switched via the relays.
Switch DC to an external contactor as a safety precaution.
Relay control options
!Turn relay on and stay on (on)
!Turn relay off and stay off (off)
!Pulse relay on for a defined time and turn off again (pls)
!Toggle the state of the relay (tog)
NOTE: The last command received will always determine
the final relay state.
SMS command switching
Relays can be switched by sending SMS commands to the
unit. The unit replies to the command to confirm that the
operation was successful. If no confirmation SMS is received,
check that the unit has not swopped to the alternate SIM card.
Basic command to operate relays - $1234*rlyn*opr
Examples
Pulse relay 2 - $1234*rly2*pls
Turn relay 1 off - $1234*rly1*off
See separate SMS command guide for detailed instructions.
IMPORTANT
When using dual SIMs, the user may need to try both
mobile numbers as the unit may have switched SIM cards.
SMS command shortcuts
Using the programming software, define simple SMS shortcut
commands that will be executed by the SMX unit.
SMS sender verify - If enabled in the programming software,
only remote SMS commands from the message recipient list
will be accepted. See security setup programming page.
Missed call switching
Relays can be switched by missed calls from up to 500 mobile
numbers, incurring no network charges.
The unit terminates incoming missed calls, confirming that the
call was received. It does not necessarily confirm any action
as the number may not be programmed into the unit.
Remember: Missed calls will not function properly if the SIM
card is not CLIP enabled.
Access lifespan
In the programming software, limit the number of times a
mobile number can switch a relay (1-255 operations).
The “0” setting allows infinite operations.
Enable confirmation SMS
If enabled in the programming software, an acknowledgment
SMS will be sent if the action is performed successfully.
IMPORTANT
When using dual SIMs, the caller may have to try both
numbers.
Operational time windows and week day selection
Limit missed call operations to a time window and to selected
days of the week.
Timer switching
64 Timers can be programmed to operate relays once a day at
a selected time. Configure using the programming software or
by remote SMS command. Timer function confirmation SMS’s
can be enabled and sent to the recipient numbers.
Machine to machine functions
M2M reporting happens independently of messages sent to
the 10 recipient numbers.
Base station reporting
Send telemetry SMS messages to up to 4 base stations
(normally at a control room). Input the following programming
information:
1. Base station mobile numbers
2. M2M ID - Identifies the SMX unit at the base station
3. Define M2M telemetries - Define the recognizable event
number for each telemetry.
If-this-then-that function
This function sends remote commands (up to 8) to another
SMX or other device following a specific trigger. Input the
following options in the programming software:
1. Select an event or trigger
2. Input the receiving unit’s mobile number
3. Input the command to be sent
Example
Input 1 is connected to a water level sensor in a reservoir.
When the water level drops the sensor triggers
the input. The unit sends a command to another SMX
connected to a pump at a nearby dam. A relay on the unit
switches the pump on to fill the reservoir. Similarly, another
remote command can be configured to switch the pump off.
FUNCTIONS
Connect the SMX to a DSC panel using a SRL-DSC interface
module (sold separately). Enable the DSC functions serial
connection option on the General SMS messaging setup page
of the programming software.
The following functions can be performed by SMS command.
- Arm/disarm in stay or away modes and by partition
- Trigger panic alarm remotely
- The panel will report its status by SMS when it is
armed or disarmed by SMS or locally via the keypad.
See the remote command guide for DSC commands.
DSC panel models currently supported: Pc5005, Pc5010,
Pc5020, Pc1808, Pc1864, Power832, Power864.

Connection and power
Connect the port marked “SMX” on the I/O expander board to
the SMX unit’s serial interface using the serial cable supplied.
Power rail terminals
Power to the expander is supplied from the SMX unit via the
serial cable.
Power rail terminals are provided for peripherals. No outgoing
or ingoing power is present. Users can connect these
terminals to their own DC power source.
Relay switching
Relays on the I/O board function in the same way as the SMX
onboard relays and are programmed similarly in the
programming software. The relay specifications differ however.
SPDT I/O relays - 3A, 60VDC, 22VAC (non-inductive loads)
Lethal AC should not be switched via the relays.
Switch DC to an external contactor as a safety precaution.

Optically isolated inputs
Recommended when interfacing to equipment where
dissimilar grounds are present (earth loop issues) or where
harmful voltage spikes and surges may be conducted or
induced into unit (e.g. electric fences).
Inputs are configurable and can support:
- Dry Contacts
- Open Collector – Pull to Ground (NPN)
- Open Collector – Pull to Supply (PNP)
- DC Voltage (5 – 18V DC)
Input triggers - Each input has a (+) and (-) terminal.
Activate input with a positive level
(-) connect to negative reference potential
(+) connect to positive triggering signal
Activate input with a negative level
(-) connect to positive reference potential
(+) connect to negative triggering signal
The voltage range between the (+) and (-) terminals is
designed for between 5-18V DC. If higher voltages are
required a resistor can be placed in series with the triggering
signal line: 18 – 25V = 560 Ohm (1/4W)
25 – 32V = 2200 Ohm (1/4W)
Analogue input
Recommended for telemetry type applications where sensors
(e.g. temperature, pressure, levels) are used to trigger SMS
messages. The input is selectable to report high and low
breaches between 0-10 V or 4-20 mA.
Input functions are programmable using the PC programming
software.
