Product description
GL09 is a simple & easy to use GSM Detector which sends SMS and calls you in case of alarm
events. Alarm event occurs in case of NO or NC ports changes.
9Compatible with GA09 Device;
9Wide power input voltage from DC5V to DC16V;
9Only a local GSM SIM card is required to operate the device;
9Each input port can be configured as NO or NC input type for alarm;
9Each alarm input can be Armed and Disarmed independently;
9“ RST ” line is used for programming or Reset the device;
9DIP Switch when at ON Position,then unit will go to “Power-Save” status;
9Measure the power input voltage and support Low voltage alert;
Wide power input range from DC5V to DC16V power input is the main features of the GL09
box,user can preset a Low voltage alert limit, then when the power input is dropped below the
voltage,then will send the alert SMS.This feature is very useful for battery operated situation.
When any S1 to S8 input is shorted to GND,then will trigger the alarm

Start to program the device with simple SMS command
STEP1 : Power on the device with DC5 to DC16V power adapter or Battery
1. Short the RST line to GND for following SMS programming
2. Power On with DC5V (Power adaptor current should be at least 1000mA)
3. MCU LED will start to blink
4. GSM LED start to blink with fast flashing around two times per second
5. After connected to the GSM net, GSM LED will blink with slow flash once per second
STEP2: Start to register the Admin numbers for the Alarm box with SMS command
Program your Phone number into the device,that is used to receive the alert:
(1) Program the numbers to receive theAlert with SMS
@#232425353#45353365#43536363
(2) Program the numbers to receive theAlert with Phone Calls
&#232425353#45353365#43536363
Both Maximum numbers are three, if you only want to setup one or two number, then just use
@#232425353#45353365 or @#232425353
&#232425353#45353365 or &#232425353
STEP3: Preset the Alarm SMS text for each input channel (When the input port changes)
#1#Alarm input1 SMS text #2#Alarm input2 SMS text
#3#Alarm input3 SMS text #4#Alarm input4 SMS text
#5#Alarm input5 SMS text #6#Alarm input6 SMS text
#7#Alarm input7 SMS text #8#Alarm input8 SMS text
STEP4: Preset the SMS Text when alarm input are all released from GND
#0#All back to normal text
When all alarm input backed to normal,then will send the #0# pre-defined SMS text
STEP5: Setup the Timer for status report to ensure the proper functioning of the unit (“Keep Alive”)
%#Txx xx is the minutes user want to preset (Maximum 9999 minutes)
For example,can preset: %#T120, then every 120 minutes (2 hours), Device will report a status
SMS to the first SMS alarm number.
If you setup it to zero: %#T0, then Report function will be disabled
STEP6: Select the alarm working mode
%#M1 Only SMS alarm report
%#M2 Only Phone calling alarm report
%#M3 SMS and phone calling alarm report
STEP7: Setup the Low voltage alert limit ( Only GL09 has this function )
%#LV11.1 Setup the Low voltage alert limit at 11.1V (user can change it to suitable voltage)
STEP8: Disconnect the RST from GND to start the normally working
After disconnect the RST from GND,then only Admin numbers can use some limited SMS
commands, such as the ARM and DISARM command
“Alarm input1 text” to “Alarm input8 text” should be changed to use the text that is easily to be
understood by yourself

Start to use device with simple SMS command
STEP1: Connect the sensors output to each input port and define the input port type as NO or NC
*NC246
Then input port 2,4,6 are defined as NC input type and others will kept as NO type.
If you setup to *NC0, then All input port is NO type.
STEP2: Arm or Disarm the input port (Only Numbers in the device memory can do this)
@#ARM00100100
From the right to left, the first is Input1 and the last is Input8,If preset to zero,then that input
port will be disarmed (disabled),when preset to “1”,then input port is armed (enabled)
So :
@#ARM11111111 All input port is enabled (Armed)
@#ARM00000000 All input port is disabled (Disarmed)
STEP3: How to read the Device data Log?
@#LOG10 (10 is the data Log numbers you want to read through SMS)
(Maximum 100 records can be read back,4 records in every SMS.So if you input 100, then
device will send back 25 Text SMS message)
STEP4: How to read the device status and parameters?
@#STATUS?
Install our App from Apple App store or google play store
GL09 use the Same App as the GA09. So:
Search the keyword “GA09” , you will find the right APP
Icon,and then press to install it
NO PORT: Connect two wires of your NO type device output or cable into terminal block wire &
GND.It does not matter which one is first. This port is a “Normally Open” port and checks if there
is any short-circuit between terminal 5 & 6.
NC PORT: Connect two wires of your NC type device output or cable into terminal block wire &
GND. It does not matter which one is first. This port is a “Normally Closed” port and checks if
there is any open-circuit between terminal 7 & 8.
Device provides required voltage by itself. Do not apply any external power on these terminal
blocks which might cause damages. Also make sure that your external device does not apply any
voltage, or sink or sank any currents. Your external device should only provide a relay output or
short or open circuit.
Sometimes,we only want disarm the device temporarily for some minutes, then Use the Alarm
phone number to call the device number and hang up after one or two ring back tone,then alarm will
be disabled for 10 minute. Keep the ring until the device reject your calling,then alarm will be
disabled for 60 minutes.

How to power the unit with battery
1. Select a Battery with DC5V to DC16V and power on the unit
2. Setup the suitable Low voltage alarm limit with “%#LVxxx” command, for example if use the
DC12V Lead acid battery,then you can setup with “%#LV11.0”. Then when the voltage drop below
the 11.0v,then will send the alert SMS to the first SMS alarm number.then user can go to change the
battery as soon as possible.
3. Want to save the battery,then switch both the Red DIP Switch to “ON” postion.then unit will go
to “Power Save” working status, then GSM module will be sleep and only when alarm input
triggered,then GSM module will be awake to send the alert SMS.Of course,even when in
“Power-Save ”status,unit will also send the “keep-alive” report SMS at the preset timer.
Fast Q&A and Troubleshooting
1. How to Reset the Device:
Short the RST to GND, and then send the SMS command “ RESET ”.After RESET, it will empty
all the SMS alarm and phone call alarm phone numbers in the memory and also device will be in
the Only SMS alarm report Mode (M1 mode)
2. What is the uses of the RST line input
RST line is used to program the device or RESET the device.
Before SMS programming the device,Short the RST to GND, and then start to send the SMS
command to program
After programming the device,RST line should be disconnected from GND to protect the device
3. Why the GSM LED always flash quickly?
(1) SIM card in the device must support the GSM (2G) net
(2) Try to push the SIM card out and push it into the slot to test again
(3) Try to change another SIM card from other SIM card provider to test again
(4) If you still cann’t sort the problems ,then please contact the seller for service
4. Why the MCU LED always kept ON even wait more than 70 seconds ?
That means device didn’t recognize the SIM card properly or no SIM card inside.then you can try to
push the SIM card out and push it into the slot to test again and wait around 70 seconds.If MCU
LED still cannot start to flash,then please change another SIM card to try again
5. If one alarm input is exsit and another alarm input is triggered,then what will happen?
Device will send the Combined SMS alarm text
6. What is the maximum lengh of the alarm SMS text
The maximum text length is 10 characters
7. How to simply disable the alarm input and go to Disarm temporarily?
Use the Alarm phone number to call the device number and hang up after one or two ring back
tone,then alarm will be disabled for 10 minute. Keep the ring until the device reject your
calling,then alarm will be disabled for 60 minutes.
7. How to setup the device to the Alarm when the battery voltage is low ?
Use the command %#LV11.1 to setup the voltage to 11.1v, then when batter voltage is lower
than 11.1v, will send the alarm SMS. You can change the voltage limit with your battery
specification.
