2. LIMITATIONS OF USE
As the cellular telephones are designed for the best possible transmission of voice signals, it
is permissible that their data compression systems cause distortions of the transmitted audio
signals. For this reason, transmission of modem signals (downloading) through a simulated
telephone line may be impeded.
3. DESCRIPTION OF THE MODULE
MODULE TERMINALS:
+12V - power supply input (12V DC ±15%)
GND - ground (0V)
FLT - alarm output, SIM300C telephone failure or insufficient range (OC; 50mA)
R-1, T-1 - extension telephone line (connection to the alarm control panel or to a telephone
set)
The FLT output is a generalized fault indicator. It gets active if connection with the base
station is not confirmed by the module within 10 minutes. It may be caused by a telephone
trouble, antenna failure (antenna cable damage), or loss of range due to other reasons. The
fault alarm stops maximum 30 seconds after the alarm causes ceased to exist.

LEDs:
The module indicates its status to the user by means of 4 LED indicators. The mode of
lighting of the STAT and SIG LEDs depends on the module status and provides the
information described below. The lighting (ON) cycle of those LEDs lasts approx. 2 seconds
and is repeated every 3 seconds, which means that particular lighting cycles are separated
by at least one-second (OFF) interval.
STAT - indicates the module status by a corresponding number of flashes with specified
duration. Shown symbolically below are single cycles of various LED lighting
modes with their meaning described. The shaded fields meaning the LED "on" and
the blank fields – the LED "off":
- (LED off) module power off
- no PIN code
- wrong PIN code
- PUK code required
- no communication with SIM300C telephone
- active connection
- normal operation of module
- module restart on switching power on
- PH-SIM PIN code required
- no SIM card
- SIM card damaged
- SIM card busy
- invalid SIM card
- PIN2 code required
- PUK2 code required
- other errors

4. OPERATING THE SIM300C TELEPHONE
As any other cellular telephone, the SIM300C industrial telephone requires a SIM activation
card to operate. The user of the GSM LT-1S module and the SIM300C telephone has to
obtain such a card on his own. The SIM card should be inserted into a special recess
provided on the right-hand side of the printed circuit board. The PIN code, if necessary, is to
be entered into the module memory by means of a telephone connected to terminals R-1 and
T-1, or by means of a computer and the DLOAD10 program. The change of PIN code stored
in the SIM card, or entering the PUK code is possible after putting the SIM card into an
ordinary cellular telephone.
The PUK code can also be entered into the SIM card from an ordinary telephone set
connected to the module terminals R-1 and T-1 (section 9.2, by means of the programming
function 16), however, it requires that the PIN code previously saved in the GSM LT-1S be
entered into the SIM card. (section 9.2, function No. 01)
When making connection, the telephone transmits its own identifier (ID), unless this option is
reserved at the GSM operator (change of option is available via ordinary cellular telephone).
The SIM300C cellular telephone is fitted with a special cable, terminated with connector for
external antenna (see Fig. 2).
5. INSTALLATION
It should be borne in mind during installation that the GSM LT-1S 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 terminals of
the alarm control panel.
Never turn on power supply of the module and SIM300C telephone without
external antenna connected.

User Manual GSM LT-16
The installation must be carried out in a strict compliance with the following activation
procedure:
1. Make a complete wiring.
2. Turn on the module power supply without SIM card inserted.
3. Using a DTMF telephone set or the DLOAD10 computer program, specify the module
working parameters (including the PIN code).
4. Turn off power supply.
5. Insert SIM card into the socket (see Fig. 4).
6. Turn on power supply.
Figure 4. Entering the SIM card into its socket.
The module power supply should have a sufficient current capacity. The recommended
power supply unit (e.g. APS-15; APS-30 manufactured by SATEL) should be equipped with
its own battery.
It is suggested that the power supply be located within 3m from the module.
If the supply voltage is lower than 9.8V, restart of the module will follow. Therefore, be careful
that the module supply voltage never drops during operation below 9.8V at the maximum
current consumption.
6. OPERATION OF THE MODULE WITH ALARM CONTROL PANEL AND STATIONARY
TELEPHONE
As shown in Figure 1, the module is to be directly connected to the output terminals of the
control panel telephone circuit. It maintains impedance and voltage across the R-1 and T-1
terminals as necessary for correct operation of the telephone set. The terminals can be
automatically deenergized in case of a loss of communication with the base station (which is
accompanied by operation of the FLT trouble indicator – see: programming function No. 17).
When the control panel goes „off-hook”, or when a user lifts the handset of a telephone
connected to the terminals T-1 and R-1, the module will generate the continuous dialing tone
and receive the tone or pulse dialing signals (similarly as the telephone exchange). The
telephone number can include digits and special characters: # *+. The phone number should
be dialed just like from a cellular phone, as required by the operator of the network into which
the telephone is logged. It is recommended that the number begin with the „+” character and
country code prefix (48 for Poland). Sometimes you can dial just the mobile phone number,
or the area code and stationary telephone number..

GSM LT-1 SATEL 7
Examples:
[*][0][4][8][5][0][1][1][2][3][4][5][6] – connection to mobile phone (with prefix „+48”)
[5][0][1][1][2][3][4][5][6] – connection to mobile phone (number without prefix)
[5][8] [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] – connection to stationary telephone, (in this
example, 58 is location area code)
If the first four digits of the dialed number correspond to the pre-programmed „pager station
number”, the module goes to the procedure of receiving the alphanumeric message and
sending it as an SMS text message (see section „Sending SMS messages”). Checking of
the first four digits is always performed.
When connection is established by the cellular telephone, the module will transmit LF audio
signals between the extension line T-1, R-1 terminals and the cellular telephone. After the
handset is lifted by the subscriber the connection is established with, the module changes the
direct voltage polarization across the extension line terminals T-1 and R-1. This function
makes it possible to keep individual tariffication of phone calls.
An option is provided for calling the phone number of the module SIM card. The incoming
calls to the SIM300C cellular telephone are directed to the extension line terminals R-1 and
T-1, which generates the ringing tone, in much the same way as with operation of the cable
telephone line. It is then possible to answer the incoming calls by means of a stationary
telephone set connected to that telephone line.
7. GSM LT-1S WITH MONITORING STATION
Figure 5.
The GSM LT-1S module permits site monitoring by means of SMS short text messages. This
function is offered by the STAM-1 monitoring station program, version 4.07 and STAM-2,

User Manual GSM LT-18
manufactured by SATEL. The example of module connection to station is shown in Fig. 5.
The STAM-1 TRNK expansion board can also be used to connect the module.
Connect the GSM LT-1S module to the computer serial port (COM1 or COM2) or,
alternatively, to the RS-232 port on the expansion board, by means of the typical cable for
programming the CA-10, CA-64 or INTEGRA control panels.
To make the module interface with the monitoring station, you must enter during setup the
communication code, by default 111111. The contents of SMS-messages and the
corresponding codes are to be defined in the STAM-1/STAM-2 program when editing the
client.
8. SENDING SMS MESSAGES
An alarm triggered at the protected site can initiate the mode of telephone messaging
through the alarm control panel. If the control panel has the function of messaging to the
pager system, it can be used for sending SMS messages to the cellular telephone number.
The message then sent by the control panel is transferred to the GSM LT-1S module, not to
the pager station. For example: the alarm control panel CA-64 or INTEGRA can send
messages to three different paging systems. If one of them is assigned to operation with the
GSM LT-1S module, the remaining two can perform their normal function.
To enable sending the SMS messages, program in the GSM-LT module the telephone
number of Short Message Service Center (function 02 and 10) and telephone number of
pager station (function 06), and in the alarm control panel the telephone number of pager
station, as required, and enter into the control panel memory the appropriate text to be sent.
The telephone number to be programmed in the control panel must consist of:
1. The "pager station number" pre-programmed in the GSM LT-1S module.
2. The cellular phone number to which the SMS message is to be sent (with the country code
prefix, but without the „+” character).
3. The end-of-number character (it is „A” in SATEL control panels).
Note: Parts of the number may not be separated from each other by any time interval (pause);
the digits must be sent by the control panel as one sequence in DTMF or pulse mode. In
case the module has any trouble with receiving the „pager” station number in the tone
mode, it is necessary to set the pulse dialing mode in the control panel.
8.1 PROCEDURE FOR CONVERTING PAGER MESSAGES INTO SMS MESSAGES
After the alarm control panel goes “off hook” and the number has been dialed – the module
checks the first four digits of the number. If they coincide with the “pager station number”
programmed in the module, then the module will send a handshake signal (similarly as the
pager station) and receive the message sent by the control panel. Next, this message is
transmitted via the SIM300C telephone as an SMS text message to the number received
from the control panel (the second part of the control panel programmed number).
Note: The programmed “Pager station number” must be unique and must not coincide with
the beginning of other telephone numbers.
The SMS sending systems may require adding a prefix with the country code (48 for Poland).
The prefix (without „+”) is to be programmed together with the cellular phone number.
To enable the transmission of SMS messages, the “SMS center No.”, must be loaded into
the module, depending on the GSM network where the telephone is activated. It must be
preceded by the „+” character and the country code suitable for the operated network.
