SeNd Technology GSMWhitebox2 User manual

GSMWhitebox2 User Guide
Step 1:
Grab a registered SIM card and make sure it
has some credit. Make a note of the phone
number as you will need this and can’t just
guess later! There is a shiny new SIM in the
box in case you need one. Note: Your SIM
card needs to support 2G GSM networks and
Three SIM cards are not compatible.
Step 2:
Open the GSMWhitebox2 case taking care
with the antenna cable and insert the SIM
card. (Make sure it’s the correct way round)
Step 3: (look at the diagram overleaf)
Connect the external power supply but don’t
turn it ON yet, check the polarity first, and
connect any volt-free inputs signals you are
using between the COM and IN1, IN2 etc, also
connect any device you wish to switch
remotely using the relay output (eg gate
opener). Don’t forget to feed external wires
through the glands as it will make it easier to
put the lid back on. Right last thing to do…
connect the antenna, just screw it on and
position it somewhere where you think the
best signal is (usually high up away from metal
stuff)
Step 4:
Turn the battery switch ON then plug the
power supply in to allow the battery to fully
charge for a few hours. The light on the unit
should come on… and we are looking for a
blue flashing light to prove we have a signal
and a steady ready green light too….
Step 5:
Complex configuration time….only joking it’s
all done by sending easy SMS message to the
unit…
Add a recipient for the alert messages:
Send the following SMS message to the SIM
card number you made a note of earlier:
#1=07777007007#
Change this mobile number to the one you
want to send the alert message to as this is
James Bond’s private number and he’s busy!
You can add up to 3 recipients –just change
the #1 to #2 for the second recipient and #3
for next –easy eh?…
Delete a recipient:
Send the following SMS message:
#1=DELETE#
(Can you guess how to delete #2 and #3?)
The GSMWhitebox2 has 4 inputs and will send
the default INPUT 1 OPEN and INPUT 1 CLOSE
messages by SMS to all three recipients when
triggered but you can change the message
text to relate to the actual thingamabob
connected. Here is how you do that…
Send the following SMS (these are examples):
Input 1 opening message
#M1A=Low Water Level#
Input 1 closing message
#M1B=Water Level OK#
To change the alert text for the other inputs
just change #M1 to #M2, #M3 and #M4
(Oh you have a maximum of 21 characters per
message including spaces).
Fun fact: The inputs have to be closed or
opened for 4 seconds before they send the
messages –this is to stop you getting
nuisance messages as this can be really
annoying.
Do you want to know more things you can do
with the GSMWhitebox2? Grab a cup of tea
and turn the page as there is a whole list of
other commands to mess about with ….

Other SMS commands:
Output Control:
The output relay can switch loads up to
10amps at 240vAC so be careful. Use a
qualified electrician if not sure.
To pulse the relay just call and the relay will
switch for 3 seconds. Here are some extra
relay control commands:
Turn the relay ON
#REL=ON#
Turn the relay OFF
#REL=OFF#
Pulse the relay for 4 seconds
#REL=PULSE#
Other bits and bobs:
Status message
#STATUS#
shows status on all the inputs and the relay
plus the signal level (0 to 20).
Make a brief free (3 ring) call after each SMS
alert (as an extra prompt to read the SMS)
don’t answer or reject the call or it won’t be
free!
#CALL=ON#
Set back to SMS only (default)
#CALL=OFF#
Change how long the input needs to be closed
before it sends a message (input delay)
#ITD=4#
Can be between 1 and 9 seconds
Send a regular “all ok” status message
#PERIODIC=4#
(No of weeks - default is 4)
Allow only users to call to pulse the relay
#WHL=ON#
Allow any caller to pulse the relay (default)
#WHL=OFF#
Have you messed up?
Reset (everything but the alert messages)
#RESET#
Power Failure Alerts
There is an internal rechargeable battery
installed in the GSMWhitebox2 which
provides power failure and power restore
alerts. Make sure the small battery switch is
turn to the ON position and when the external
power has failed a power fail message is sent
to all recipients –It waits about 5 minutes to
make sure is a proper power fail and not just a
blip.
When power is restored a message to confirm
all is tickity boo is sent.
Wiring:
The inputs are volt-free so don’t put any
voltages on them or they will go pop.
To trigger a message close or open the circuit
between INput and COMmon
Look for a blue flashing LED to check you have
a signal. The green ready LED will flash when a
command/message is being sent –you may
also hear some electronic weird noise too.
