Ifindoubt,askasuitablespecialist.
a) General Descriptions
Thisproductistobeusedtomonitorthecustomer‘sproperty.Incaseofalarm,itstaskistoinformthecustomerofit
by text message as quickly as possible.
Itmaymonitorshock,positionchanges,brightnessdifferencesandtemperature.Incaseofalarm,theGX111sends
an alarm text message to up to 4 stored phone numbers.
TheGPSreceiverisusedtodetermineandmonitorGPSzones(„GeoFence“),i.e.aplaceorareawheretheproduct
may be present.
Theproductisdesignedformaximumbatterylife.Theregularconditionissleepmode,whereonlythecongured
sensorsareactive.Theywakeupthemoduletosendtextmessagealarmsifathresholdisexceeded.
Apartfromthis,themodulewillwakeupevery24h,e.g.for15minutes(default)andwillcheckforanytextmessages
received.Uponreceiptofatextmessage,the„ONLINE“timeoutisresetandcanbeconsideredfurther.Duringthis
time,e.g.thecurrentpositioncanbedetermined.ForthisitispossibletohavealinktoOpenStreetMap.org(open-
source map provider) sent by text message command.
Furthermore,theproductmayalsorecordandsave(track)thecurrentGPSposition.Thesesaveddatacanberead
by USB.

9
b) Operating Mode
Theproductisoptimisedforthe longest battery life.ThisisachievedbytargeteddeactivationoftheGSM-/GPS-
module („OFFLINE“ mode).
Fortheproducttocontinuetobeavailable,theGSMmodulewillwakeupautomaticallyafteraspecictime(„ONLINE“
mode)andcheckwhetherthereareanynewtextmessages.Thestandardsettingsare15minutesforthe„ONLINE“
modeand1425minutesforthe„OFFLINE“mode(15+1425=1440minutes=24h).The„TIMEOUT“commandcan
be used to change these settings on demand (described farther towards the back of these instructions).
A sensor alarm or push on the external button „S1“ will wake up the module at once.
Eachuseractivity(textmessage,USBdata)willalsoresettheactivetimeout;youwillhave15minutes‘time(by
default) again after each action.

10
c) Alarm Mode
Thereistheimportantalarmmodeinparalleltoandindependentoftheoperatingmode.Thismodedeneswhether
theGX111is„armed“asanalarmdeviceandmaysendtextmessagealarmswhensensorsaretriggeredandoptio-
nally issue an alarm sound.
Theconditionsareasfollows:
ENABLE ALARM #1513
Thealarmmodeisswitchedon.
DISABLE ALARM #1513
Thealarmmodeisswitchedoff.
Alarm mode on:
Thismodeisenteredviathecommand„ENABLEALARM#<PIN>“.Whetherthealarmmodeisactiveornotcanonly
berequestedviathecommand„TESTSTATUS#1513“.Ifthealarmmodeisonandrecognisesanalarmincidentvia
anactivatedalarmsource(shock,position,…),allphonenumbersinthephonebookoftheGX111(nottheSIMcard!)
will receive the corresponding alarm text message and an optional alarm sound can be issued.
Alarm mode off:
Inthismode,GSMcostsariseonlywhenanactionperformedbyyoucausesareactionoftheGX111.TheGX111only
sendsanswertextmessageswhenatextmessagewiththecorrectPINhasbeenreceived.TheGX111doesnotsend
out any alarm text messages on its own.
 Thealarmmodeis(deliberately)offbydefault.
 Observethathighcostsmayarisefromsendingtextmessages(particularlyabroad),dependingonhowthe
GX111iscongured.

11
d) Housing/Operating Elements
 TheGX111hasnofurtherlabelsorLEDsontheoutsidebecauseitistobeasunobtrusiveandmergewith
its environment as well as possible.
Thegureshowsthehousingwithoutthefrontcap.

a) Assembly and Charging of the Product
Theproductisdeliveredwiththerechargeablebatteryinserted.However,itisnotconnectedtopreventdeepdischar-
ge.
Therefore,thehousingoftheGX111mustbeopenedandthePCBremovedforrstcommissioning.Thentherechar-
geablebatterycanbeconnectedandtheGX111assembledagain.
Particularly observe the following items during assembly:
Rechargeable battery connection:
ThereisaconnectionfortherechargeablebatteryonthePCBsidewiththeSIMholderrightnexttoit.Theplugis
pushedontotheholderfromthetop.Theplugisprotectedagainstpolarityreversal.
Rear cover (without opening for light sensor)
ThecoverisrmlyscrewedtothehousingandcoversthelargeopeningwiththePCBandtherechargeablebattery.
Thecovermustberemovedtoreplacetherechargeablebattery.ThenthePCBwiththerechargeablebatterycanbe
pulled from the housing.
Whenputtingittogether,observethatthesealonthecoverinsideisplacedcleanlyandhasnodamage.

b) Changing the PIN Code to „1513“
EverySIMcardhasaPINcode.BecausethisGSMproductusesitsownPINprocessingforreasonsofsafety,the
SIM card PIN code must be changed to that of the product.
The following steps are required for this:
• ThemicroSIMcardintendedfortheproductmustbeinsertedinamobilephone.Ifyourmobilephoneisnotequip-
pedforusewithamicro-SIMcard,youwillneedthecorrespondingadapter.
• Accordingtotheoperatinginstructionsofthemobilephone,thePINcodemustbechangedto1513.
• ThemicroSIMcardwiththechangedPINcodemustberemovedfromthemobilephone.
• ThemicroSIMcardwiththechangedPINcodecannowbeinsertedintotheGX111(seenextchapter).
We urgently advise against deactivating the SIM card PIN query. In addition to the risk at theft and con-
nectedillegaluse,deactivationofthePINfunctionmeansthatthedeviceisusedinanon-intendedmode.
Theremaybefunctionalerrors!
c) Micro SIM Card Insertion
ThemicroSIMcardwiththePINnumber„1513“mustbeinsertedintheintendedSIMcardholderoftheGX111.
AfterinsertionofthemicroSIMcard,theGX111isswitchedon.
DuringstartingoftheGX111,the„ERR“LEDashesatanintervalofonesecond.Afterashorttime,the„GSM“LED
willashgreen(inintervalsof½second)(networkscanning)andafterafewseconds,the„GSM“LEDshouldchange
itsashingpattern.
Ifthe„GSM“LEDdoesnotchangeitsashingpattern,thereisnoconnectiontotheGSMnetwork.Inthiscase,the
networkqualityandfunctionofthemicroSIMcardatthesiteoftheGX111mustbeinspectedwithaseparatemobile
phone.
Use a mobile phone to check if the SIM card is activated at all. If the mobile phone cannot log into the GSM network
withthesetPIN1513,thereisaproblemwiththeSIMcard.Inthiscase,contacttheprovideroftheSIMcard.
IfanerroroccurswhileconnectiontotheGSMnetworkisestablished,itissignalledwiththe„ERR“LED.Inthiscase,
pushthe„RESET“buttonattheGX111.
 IftheGX111usedtobeusedwithanotherSIMcard,thereistheoptionofthePINnumberintheproduct
beingchangedandnownolongermatchingthedefaultsetting„1513“.Inthiscase,theGX111mustbe
resettofactorysettings(seecorrespondingchapterfartherbackintheseoperatinginstructions),thenthe
PIN of the micro SIM card must be set to „1513“ in the mobile phone.
 ThemicroSIMcardmayhavebeenlockedinthemeantimeandmustbeunlockedwiththePUK.Inthis
case,useaseparatemobilephoneandunlockthemicroSIMcard.

9. Conguration via Text Message
ToreceivethefullfunctionalscopeoftheGX111,itmustrstbecongured.Theentirecongurationisperformedby
simpletextmessagecommandsyousendtotheGX111(thephonenumberofthemicroSIMcardintheGX111)from
your mobile phone.
Thismethodmakesitpossibletoactivate,deactivateorchangethesettingsoftheGX111fromanywhere.
Alternatively,theGX111canbeconguredviatheUSBinterfaceusingPCsoftware(availableviawww.conrad.com).
 TheseoperatinginstructionsdonotdealwithcongurationviaPCsoftware.Thisonlydescribeshowthe
productcanbecontrolledviaamobilephone,withoutanyotheraids.
 Toprotectagainstunauthorisedaccess,theGX111generallyreactstoauthenticatedmessagesonly.Ina
textmessage,youauthenticateyourselfbyincludingthecorrectSIMPINoftheGX111(nottheoneofthe
mobilephoneonwhichthetextmessagehasbeenwritten!).
 Foryourownsafety,theSIMPINnumbermustbechangedunderallcircumstancesaftercommissioning
oftheproduct.Thisisdescribedinthecorrespondingchapter.
 IftheGX111isin„OFFLINE“mode(controlcommandsviatextmessagearenotpossible),theGX111can
beputinto„ONLINE“modebypushingthebutton„S1“onitsside.Thestandardsettingsare15minutes
forthe„ONLINE“modeand1425minutesforthe„OFFLINE“mode(15+1425=1440minutes=24h).
Introduction into the command format
ThetextmessagestoprogramtheGX111aresetupaccordingtothefollowingchart:
<ACTION> <FUNCTION> <PARAMETER1> <…> <#PIN>
Examples:
 SET TEL1 [phone] #1513 (phonebook)
 RESET TEMP   #1513 (alarmoff)
 TEST TEMP   #1513 (query)
 ENABLE ALARM   #1513 (alarmon)
 DISABLE ALARM   #1513 (alarmoff)
Important!
 EverytextmessagesenttotheGX111mustendwiththePINsetasprotection.Without„#<PIN>“atthe
endofthetextmessage,itisdiscardedandnoansweringtextmessagewillbegenerated!
 Thecommandsandparametersmustbeseparatedbyasinglespaceeach.
 IftheGX111doesnotreact,itmaybein„OFFLINE“mode.Pushthelateralbutton„S1“towakeitup.

17
„ACTION“
The„ACTION“commandspermitthefollowing:
SET =switchon/activate/congure
RESET =switchoff/deactivate/factorysettings
TEST =test/check/request
ENABLE =activatethealarmsystem(onlyforthefunction„ALARM“)
DISABLE =deactivatethealarmsystem(onlyforthefunction„ALARM“)
 Noteonthe„RESET“command:
 Ifafunctionistobeswitchedofforresetduetoanerror,thecorresponding„RESET“actionmustbeused
withthecorrespondingfunctionword!Thisactionisuniversallyapplicabletoallfunctions/textmessage
commands and resets the corresponding function to the default settings.
„FUNCTION“
Thisisusedtoselectthefunctionyouwanttochangeorperform:
TEL1 =phonebookentryno.1
NAME =NameoftheGX111
„PARAMETER“
Boththepresenceandthenumberofparametersdependonthefunctionandactionused.Therefore,most„RESET“
actionshave noparameterswhile„SET“actionswithoutparametersareratherrare(whatshouldbesettowhich
value).
A parameter may be the following:
List: Youmaychooseaparameterfromapre-denedlist.
 e.g.:DE,EN
 Writing:<DE/EN>
Number: An integer without decimal digits.
 e.g.:60=time[seconds](SETIDLEALARM60#1513)
More information:
• Capitalisationisnotrelevant;youmayusecapitalandsmalllettersasyouwish.
• Everynewcommandofthesamefunctionwilloverwritetheprevioussettings.
• Aftereveryvalidtextmessagecommand,theGX111willsendatextmessageanswertoconrmprogrammingto
your mobile phone (if the PIN in the text message command was correct).

10. Functional Descriptions
 ThefollowingexamplesassumethatthePINis„1513“.
 Theaction„TEST“ALWAYScontainsansweringwiththecorrectparametersforthefunctionandthusisnot
indicated. Several functions share one answer text message to use the maximum of a text message.
 Theaction„RESET“isALWAYSresettingofafunctiontothefactorysettings(allparameters).Deviations
are indicated separately below.
a) Determining „STATUS“
Thecommand„STATUS“returnsasummaryofthemostimportantsettingsandconditionsoftheGX111.
TEST STATUS #1513
ThentheGX111sendsananswertextmessage.
Example(therightcolumnshowsonlyadescription;itisnotcontainedinthetextmessage):
 GX11101.XX NameoftheGX111,rmwareversion
GSM: 59% GSM signal strength
GPS: on GPS receiver is on
 TEMP:28CCurrentlymeasuredtemperature
Accu: 75% Current charge condition of the rechargeable battery
Slope: 0 degree Measured position angle 0° or no reference angle set
Diagnose: off Diagnosis mode off
Alarm: Disabled Alarm treatment via text message deactivated

b) General Conguration Commands
Thissub-chapterdescribesallgeneralcongurationcommands.
1. Changing the PIN Code („PIN“)
TosecuretheGX111fromunauthorisedaccess,thestandardPIN„1513“maybesettoanyothervalue.ThePINcode
can be changed as follows:
SET PIN <new PIN> #<old PIN>
Example: Changing old PIN 1513 to new PIN 1234:
SET PIN 1234 #1513
Foreverynewtextmessagecommand,thenewPINcodenowhastobeappended(tostickwiththeexample:1234),
precededbyacrosshatch(#).IfthewrongPINcodeisenteredorthePINcodeisnotsent,youwillnotreceivean
answering text message. Changing of the PIN code will change both the settings of the product and the PIN code of
themicroSIMcard!ThePINcodealwayshas4digits.
Thereisno„TEST“actionfortestingthisfunction.
 IfyoulosethePINcode,theGX111canberesettofactorysettings(seechapter„FactorySettings“).All
settingswillbelostwhenresetting!Thenthedevicemustbesetagain.
 ResettingtheGX111tofactorysettingswillnotaffectthemicroSIMcard.ThePINcodeofthemicroSIM
card is not changed.
2. Changing the Device Name („NAME“)
IfseveralGX111areoperatedatthesametime,itisrecommendedtoassignadifferentnametoeachGX111.This
makes it easier to assign alarm messages to the correct device.
 Thedevicenamehasamaximumlengthof20characters.
TochangethenameatyourGX111,sendthefollowingtextmessagecommand:
SET NAME <new name> #1513
Example: Renaming to „NEWNAME“:
SET NAME NEWNAME #1513
Youwillreceivethefollowingconrmationtextmessage:
 NEWNAMEGX1111.xx
Toresetthedevicenametofactorysettings(noname),usethefollowingcommand:
RESET NAME #1513

20
3. Setting the Language (Function „LANGUAGE“)
TheGX111sendsalarmtextmessagesintheGermanlanguage.IfthetextmessagesaretobesentintheEnglish
language,sendthefollowingtextmessagecommandtotheGX111:
SET LANGUAGE EN #1513
ToreceivethetextmessageinGermanagain,sendthefollowingtextmessagecommandtotheGX111:
SET LANGUAGE DE #1513
4. Administration of the Phone Book (Functions „TEL“, „TEL1“,…)
TheGX111cansaveupto4phonenumbers.Incaseofalarm,anoticationtextmessageissenttoeachofthese
phonenumbers.Thesephonenumberscanalsousethefunction„INCALL“.
 Ifthesamenumberisinthelistseveraltimes,itwillreceivethesametextmessageasmanytimes.
 TheGX111mayprocessphonenumbersinnationalandinternationalformat.However,theinternational
formatshouldbeusedatalltimes,sinceuseabroadmaycauseproblemsotherwise.
 Example:0172/xxxxxxxx(national)becomes+49172xxxxxxxx(international)
Saving Phone Numbers
UsethefollowingcommandtosaveaphonenumberintheGX111:
SET TEL1 +49111… #1513
SET TEL2 +49222… #1513
SET TEL3 +49333… #1513
SET TEL4 +49444… #1513
Thereistheoptionofprogrammingseveralphonenumbersinasinglecommand,e.g.3phonenumbers(TEL1to
TEL3):
SET TEL1 +49111… +49222… + 49333… #1513
Concurrent programming of phone numbers is possible with a list starting from the indicated phone book entry and
ending at the last phone book entry as follows:
SET TEL1 <tel-nr1> <tel-nr2> <tel-nr3> <tel-nr4> #1513
SET TEL2 <tel-nr2> <tel-nr3> <tel-nr4> #1513
SET TEL3 <tel-nr3> <tel-nr4> #1513
SET TEL4 <tel-nr4> #1513
