1. GSM-4S MODULE FEATURES
•Simulation of analog telephone line by the use of cellular connection - which makes it
possible to report an alarm situation at the site in case the analog line is out of order or
missing.
•Operation with alarm control panels and with other equipment (e. g. DT-1 plus telephone
set) using the telephone line for transmitting voice information about the alarm, or for
sending text messages to paging system.
•Operation in conjunction with the STAM-1/STAM-2 monitoring station, which makes
monitoring of the sites possible with the use of SMS short messages.
•Function of an external modem for the CA-64 alarm control panels (support of DLOAD64
and GUARD64 programs)* and the INTEGRA alarm control panels (support of DLOADX
and GUARDX programs).
•Answering incoming and making outgoing calls via cable telephone network and via
mobile communication system (cellular network).
•Optional selection of the basic outgoing line: GSM / cable (subscriber line).
•Signaling of answering (receiving) a call initiated from the module T-1, R-1 terminals by
changing the voltage polarization across those terminals (possibility of tariffication).
•Operation with PBX telephone exchange as additional subscriber’s line.
•Pulse and tone dialing modes.
•Substitution of the direct access to cable telephone network and the access to cable
telephone network via PBX.
•Four inputs, the violation of which (and restoring to normal status) can be monitored by
SMS messages, voice messages or CLIP type information.
•Three outputs for controlling the electrical devices (e. g. by relays directly connected to the
module).
•Output for signaling the telephone line failure and the cellular line failure.
•Test messaging (monitoring) in order to confirm the module operative condition
•Possibility to control the outputs activity by violating the inputs (e.g. tripping alarm device
after actuation of an alarm sensor) or by CLIP type calling.
•Remote controlling of the status of module’s outputs and bypassing of the module inputs
by using SMS text message or dual tone phone push-buttons (DTMF Signals).
•Capability of recognizing the message directed to paging system and transmitting it in the
form of SMS text message to any cellular telephone number. SMS messages are always
sent, irrespective of availability of subscriber’s telephone line.
•Possibility of restricting the access to cellular telephone by making connections to 32
precisely defined numbers, or reduction of available numbers by assigning initial digits to
such numbers.
•Operation with SIM300C three-range professional cellular telephone, compatible with GSM
900/1800/1900Mhz networks.
•Checking for cellular telephone availability and for antenna signal level.
•Remote programming of the module from PC computer by using the DLOAD10 program.
•RS interface (connecting to computer, CA-64 or INTEGRA).

2. LIMITATIONS
Since cellular telephones are designed having in view the best possible transmission of the
voice signals, it is reasonable that the data compression systems, which are used in cellular
communication, introduce distortions into the audio signals transmitted. For this reason,
transmission of modem signals (downloading) through a simulated telephone line may be
difficult.
Cellular telephones make limitation in using the remote control function by DTMF signals. Not
every type of cellular telephone can generate the proper form of these signals. Some models
of cellular telephone have a special function permitting the DTMF control - in such case, this
special function is to be activated.
The function of remote control by DTMF signals are always available from a traditional,
stationary telephone set. The only limitations in this case can result from the quality of
telephone cables and the telephone signal level, which reaches the module.

The module has the built in LCD display which is used for reading the information on
the current status of the module, and for programming the data required during normal
operation.
In the first line of LCD display (during normal operation), the following information is
displayed: the telephone line status, the SIM300C telephone status, power level of the signal
received by antenna (0-4) and the status of the inputs and the outputs of the module. The
status of receiving / sending modem data is indicated (R and W symbols). The antenna
symbol flashes during the communication of the SIM300C telephone with GSM base station
(during telephone connection as well). In the second line, the information about the current
status of the module is displayed (e. g. dialing, loss of telephone line, telephone number at
dialing and others).
Notes:
•The "Phone line loss" message is displayed when cable telephone line (subscriber’s line)
is not connected to TIP and RING terminals or to LINE socket - this is a normal operation
condition in case of the loss of such line. It is possible to disable the function of displaying
this message – just deselect the „Show T l.failure" option in the main menu.
•The SIM300C telephone will not start dialing if the antenna signal level is equal to zero.
The status of inputs and outputs are displayed alternately (2s/2s) at last four characters of
top line on LCD display (counting from the left to the right) in a form of the following symbols:
SYMBOL MEANING
i normal status
t normal status
I violated
T violated
INPUT
b bypassed
o normal status
OUTPUT O active
Table 1
i, I- these symbols refer to the input which can initiate messaging when violated or after the
end of violation.
t, T- these symbols refer to the input which will not initiate messaging when violated or after
the end of violation. The symbols are displayed when the TL ok, mess. input n option is
disabled for the given input (n- input number) and the analog telephone line is in good
working order.
Normal status of input - status in accordance with the input type (NO, NC) set by the
service function.
Input violated - the change of the supervised status occurred, from normal to opposite, for
the duration at least equal to the time period defined as the sensitivity of the input.
Input bypassed - the status of the input is not supervised by the module.
Normal status of output - output disconnected from ground.
Output activated - output shorted to ground.
Blinking of the „O” output status indicator means that the output has been enabled for the
time programmed with the service function.

Management of SMS text messages is signaled on the module display with the following
reports:
SMS sent – after transmitting SMS text message via SIM300C telephone.
SMS received - after receiving text message containing SMS password pre-
programmed in the module.
Unknown SMS rec. - after receiving SMS message not containing the password pre-
programmed in the module.
Situated below the display are four keys (push-buttons) intended for programming the
module and for manually controlling operation of the module inputs and outputs.
PUSH–BUTTON
NUMBER PUSH–BUTTON DESCRIPTION
1 ESC
2 CHANGE
3 NEXT
4 OK
The number of push–buttons given in table above correspond to the number of inputs and
outputs during manual control.
Simultaneous pressing and holding for one second both push–buttons, ESC and OK., makes
the restart of the module, with program version being displayed on LCD display. The restart
of the module does not change the status of inputs and outputs. In case of the loss, and then
the restoration of power supply of the module, its inputs and outputs are restored to the
status before the disconnection of power supply.
The cables of telephone lines: public exchange line (subscriber’s) and extension line (to the
alarm control panel and telephone set) can be connected to the terminal strip or to the
telephone jacks located on the board.
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTION FOR THE SIM300C CELLULAR TELEPHONE
The SIM300C industrial cellular telephone, similar as any other cellular telephone, can be
operated by SIM activation card. The user of the GSM-4S module and the SIM300C
telephone has to obtain such card. The SIM card is inserted into a special socket provided at
the bottom of the printed circuit board.
PIN code, if necessary, is entered in the module’s memory by the service function from the
sub-menu "GSM options". The change of PIN code or entering PUK code, if needed, is only
possible after putting the SIM card into an ordinary cellular telephone.
While making connection, the telephone transmits its own identifier (ID), unless this function
is reserved at GSM operator (change of option is available via normal telephone set).
The SIM300C cellular telephone set is delivered with special cable fitted, having a connector
for external antenna (see fig. 2).
5. INSTALLATION
It should be remembered during installation that the GSM-4S module must not be located in
the vicinity of electrical installations, since this may involve a risk of malfunctioning. Pay
special attention to how the cable is laid between the module and the telephone jack of the
alarm control panel.
CAUTION: Never turn on power supply of the module and SIM300C telephone
without external antenna connected.

User Manual GSM-4S

The following sequence must be strictly observed while putting the module into operation:
1. make complete wiring.,
2. turn on power supply of the module without SIM card inserted into the socket on the
electronics board - "Set the PIN code" message will be displayed by the module.
3. activate the service mode of the module and, where the module may have been
preprogrammed before, call the "Delete all" service function (which will restore default
settings),
4. enter the PIN code,
5. switch off power supply,
6. insert SIM card into the
module (see Fig. 4),
7. turn on the power supply
again and program the
module as required.
Notes:
•If the SIM card fails to
accept the PIN code, a
"Bad PIN, go on?
ESC=Stop" message will
appear. The module will
wait 60 seconds for user
reaction, then it will repeat
the attempt to send the PIN
code. Sending a wrong PIN code three times will disable the SIM card. During the
countdown you can press the OK key to immediately resend the code to the card, or press
the ESC key to stop the countdown to make possible a change of the PIN code for the
right one.
•The "GSM phone trbl." message is shown on the display until the SIM300C telephone logs
in the cellular network. This state may last up to several minutes from the module power
supply being turned on.
•The main reasons why the telephone is unable to log in are:
−missing SIM card, SIM card inactive or defective
−insufficient range (antenna signal level = 0)
−antenna not matched to the network range (900/1800MHz) or faulty
−wrong PIN
−SIM300C telephone trouble
The module power supply should have sufficient current capacity. The recommended power
supply (for example, the SATEL manufactured APS-15 or APS-30) should be equipped with
its own battery.
It is recommended that the power supply unit be situated within 3m distance from the
module.
If the supply voltage is lower than 9.8V, restart of the module will follow. Therefore, be sure
that the module supply voltage never drops during operation below 9.8V at the maximum
current consumption.
