Device description and function
The GSM/GPRS device can be used for remote controlling (ex.: gate opener), as an accessory to alarm centers and also
as a standalone alarm center. The module has 4 contact driven inputs and one implemented relay output (relay type:
NO/NC). The module can be expanded with further outputs and functions.
It can send notification to 8 phone numbers in SMS and/or voice message. The notification sending can be triggered by a
signal arriving to any of the 4 inputs, by power failure, by sabotage or by arming/disarming of the GSM module. The
notifications can be accompanied by an additional voice message that will be played when calling is answered. These
recordings can be 8 seconds utmost. The voice message can be also a shared identifying message with a maximum
length of 15 seconds.
Output control can be made from unlimited phone numbers with a free call. When controlling with caller identification
numbers can be stored in the memory of the module (1,000 in this case), or on the SIM card inserted. With caller
identification unauthorized controlling of the device connected to the output is not possible.
Output can be controlled also with SMS command that might even contain differing order from stored settings (ex. output
set to bistable can be controlled for 10 seconds). You can find more information on this command on page 20.
DTMF controlling was implemented thus GSM module outputs can be controlled separately with mobile phone buttons.
This mode has the condition to accept the call arriving to the module that involves call charges depending on the carrier.
The module can store up to 16,000 events in which appear states of the inputs and outputs, power supply resets, GSM
network and module state related information, incoming and outgoing calls and SMSs.
The tamper input on the module can be used as a sabotage indicator with setting possibilities alike to inputs. Shortening it
before powering on then cut short in 3 seconds functions as a ’’reset’’ that can revert the module back to its original
factory state.
Implemented Anti Jammer System (AJS) protects from GSM jammers. The significant dropping of the GSM strength or a
network connection failure initiates a prompt alarm. In these situations module tries to send notifications using network
possibilities still available. It can be set that by controlling the output even a siren can be managed. This possibility is
especially useful if we would like to fob the person who committed the sabotage.
As a standalone alarm center 4 zones can be distinguished and they can have Contact IDs or zone codes. The types of
the inputs can be altered based on that (ex. 24/7, delayed etc.). By using expansion panel (EXP Alarm) an LED status
feedback is available of the armed/disarmed module status and also the control of a peripheral buzzer in case of arming
disarming and alarm event.
Besides continuous voltage monitoring the module observes also the GSM strength. These data can be readout and
these can be charted even by hourly divisions by the programming and surveillance software.
By using expansion panels further outputs (EXP Relay, EXP Relay3), or expansion panel for standalone GSM alarm
center (EXPAlarm) can be connected
The module can be programmed by SMS command, voice menu, PC or by Android mobile phone.

Installation steps
1. Carry out a signal strength check with your mobile phone. Sometimes occurs there is no sufficient signal strength
at the commissioning site. In this case it is recommended to change the module position prior to installation.
Do not install the device to places where strong electromagnetic waves might occur, ex. next to electric motors or
alarm transformers.
2. Do not install in watery places or to places with great humidity.
3. Connect the antenna that can be secured with an SMA connector. If you are reading low signal strength use
antenna with higher gain. Signal strength grow can also be achieved by repositioning the antenna. Do not
position the antenna under various metal covers as those might significantly ruin the signal strength.
4. You should opt out the PIN number request, voicemail and call notification of the SIM card. Sometimes
new SIM cards must be activated (usually one outgoing call has to be made). Check the validity of the card. If you
have a prepaid card check its balance and its usage possibilities (ex. can be used only for calls).
5. Number identification of caller and at call initiations has to be checked. This function at certain service providers.
Must be enabled formerly.
6. Insert the SIM card in the SIM card slot of the module.
7. Connectors have to be connected according to the wiring diagram. If you are dealing with OC output (output of
EXP Alarm expansion panel) mind the correct wiring of the relay protecting diode.
8. If you are working with OC relay be cautious especially of avoiding electric shock. A proper contact protection
must be established. If you lack the appropriate experience ask for professional help.
9. Check if the power supply performance will be sufficient for the module. Mind the polarity.
If wiring is reversed the module will not operate or might get damaged.
10. Now the device can be connected to the power supply.
11. If you have purchased also a battery connect it to the device. Use only the appropriate battery for reserve
powering the device!
12. After connecting the voltage supply the red LED is lighted indicating the device establishing connection with the
GSM system (this can be 1 minute utmost).
13. If red LED goes off and green LED flashes module is online and connected to network. The flash number(s)
indicates GSM signal strength.
For programming the power supply must be connected! Power needed for programming can be supplied to the
module also from USB adapter.

You can set on this tab if there is an alarm event caused by short or open circuit on an input to which phone number you
would like to send SMS or voice message notification. It is possible to send both notifications to the same phone number.
•On the Input type tab you can set how the input should operate:
◦00/Not used: not used inputs can be switched off so no jamming signals can be received.
◦01/24h normal input: 24/7, constant, input indifferent to activation status
◦(02/Backup: not used input left on so it can be used later)
◦03/Center input: this input will send alert only if the module is activated.
◦04/delayed center input: in activated state this input starts a countdown (can be set on the “Other” tab) while
you have the chance to deactivate it.
◦05/Arming/disarming: input for arming or disarming the module. This can be controlled only with continuous
contact (ex key switch). Normally closed state is suggested so wire cutting will trigger an alarm.
•The input can be set to be normally opened (NO) or normally closed (NC).
•An SMS message can be sent if the input reverts back to its normal state.
•If siren sound is selected as alarm sound voice call duration will be 25 seconds. If also the voice message option
is selected its length will be 5 seconds.
•At voice message transmission prerecorded or custom sound can be chosen to send with a voice call (Sounds
tab)
•Monitoring station can also be notified of the input state change.
•You can set a no pickup mode so module will not try to call again if the call was received regardless it was
accepted or rejected.
•When DTMF confirmation is selected it is not enough to receive the call, it has to be confirmed with the ‘’#’’ button
of the mobile phone. By pressing the ‘’*’’ button multiple calls can be even stopped.
•The first input can be set to send notification if module is powered on. Thus the module indifferent to its state will
initiate an alarm event. This function is suggested when you want the module power-on to initiate an alarm event.
•In the SMS message box you can set the message that can be maximum 32 characters long.
•Input modifications can be achieved by SMS commands with the following parameters:
•1234INPUT1=tnneeeeeeee

Other parameters: 1.e=1 →Message of reverting back 2.3=0 →Compulsory 0 3.e =1 →siren sound 4.e=1 →
Voice message 5.e=1 →Monitoring station 6.e=1 →no need to pickup at call 7.e=1 →DTMF acknowledge (#)
8.e=0 →Compulsory 0
•You can find additional information on SMS commands on page 20.
Voice message settings
In the Sounds menu a specific alert can be associated with a prerecorded voice message.
•The function of the identifying message is to identify the module (ex. address, building name) if you are waiting
messages from several modules.
•If you click the red record button you can record your own voice with a microphone attached to your PC. This
can be up to 8 seconds in length or 15 seconds for the identifying message.
Page 13

ProCon GSM
•During voice recording it records from the default microphone. Sometimes it needs to be adjusted (ex. amplify) for
the optimal volume and quality.
•By clicking the Play button you can listen to your recording.
•If you would like to upload a prerecorded sound file than you can open a file upload window by clicking the
appropriate event button.
•The file format has to be compatible with the format used on GSM networks. It has to be 8 kHz sampling rate, 8
bit, mono PCM modulated ’’.wav’’ file.
When you have the desired sound it can be uploaded to the module by clicking the Upload button.
Adjusting outputs
On the Output window the output settings can be changed. The output type
can be monostable namely one statused, (switches for the given period
than reverts back to the original status), or bistable namely two statused (it
only will revert back to original state after a new controlling).
•Regarding monostable operation switch time can be set in seconds
or minutes. This can be max 65,000 seconds.
•The Unsuccessful SMS means output will be controlled when
network operator rejects an SMS sending.
•Choosing GSM fault output will be controlled as long as GSM
network reverts to its normal state
•Regarding output controlling it can be set if you want to control with
incoming call or it should be activated by an alarm event (ex. in
case of 24/7 active input).
•When controlling with caller identification is set you can choose between unidentified or identified phone number
controlling.
•Anybody can control the output with unidentified phone number controlling if he/she knows the phone number of
the SIM card.
•If the phone number identification is selected controlling from a controlling phone number not in the list
will be denied. This greatly improves module safety regarding unauthorized controlling.p. 21.
•EXP Relay provides additional 1, EXP Relay3 provides 3 additional
outputs for the GSM module. Thus by using EXP Relay 3 the module
can have 4 outputs.
•Only one expansion panel can be connected simultaneously. Expansion
panels connect to the Panel labeled slot of the modules.
•Both expansions contain low-voltage relayed output switcher.
•EXP Relay has NO/NC relay, EXP Relay3 has jumper adjustable output
for NO or NC version.
•Output settings can be modified by sending the following message:
•1234OUTx→Selectable parameters: ON, OFF, RUN or switch to a certain time (given in 5 characters)
•example: 1234OUT1=00003 →controlling output 1 for 3 seconds

Tamper settings
The GSM module facilitates the connection of a tamper
protection. Essential of this protection is that module will trigger
an alarm if GSM case is removed.
•Its connector is next to the first output shared connector
of the main panel. Connector usage is similar to input:
only suitable for monitoring short or open circuit.
•Connector must be connected according to the wiring
diagram. You can use any shared input terminal. DO
NOT USE SHARED OUTPUT TERMINAL (C).
•
Tamper connector settings do not differ from any
other input settings. On demand connector can be
used as a 5
th
input.
•If you are using tamper for monitoring case removal
input type should be set as closed by default.
•Shortening the terminal before powering on than
releasing in 3 seconds will revert the GSM module
back to its factory settings. This progress is indicated
by the alternate flashes of the ACT and STATUS
LEDs.
•
Power supply monitoring setup
The GSM device is able to monitor its power source
and send notification of its problems
•
On the Power monitor tab the trigger voltage
level can be set. Below this the module sends
an alert.
•Our Pro series modules have battery
connectors that can be used to connect the Pro
Battery.
•IMPORTANT! Modules without auxiliary power
supply will switch off if there is no main power
supply.
•The remaining function settings equals with the
input settings.
Life signal sending setup
•By life sign sending the user can be sure about
the flawless operation of the system.
•The life sign sending periods and also exact hour
can be set for notifications.
•To use this feature Send life sign check has to
be selected!
•It is also important the day of the first signal can
be scheduled not to arrive on the setup day. The
life sign activation day can be set.
•You can modify life sign sending with the
•following SMS command: 1234LIFETEST=cccsstttttttt
•ccc →sending cycles/days (ex.: 007 days)

number)
•You can find more information on SMS commands on page 20.
Anti Jammer System (AJS) settings
•By using a GSM jamming device (GSM jammer) the GSM module can be sabotaged by suppressing heavily the
signal strength of the network or by its
complete suspension. The Anti Jammer
System (AJS) is monitoring changes in
network signal strength.
•You can set which output you would like to
control instantly when there is an Anti Jammer
System event. In this situation it will control a
peripheral device connected to its output (ex
auxiliary siren).
Sending SMS/making voice call can be
achieved only if there is still some connection
with the network. If there is no connection
sending will be completed when network signal is available.
SMS notification of arming/disarming
At opening/closing i.e. the state of the module changes
between armed/disarmed a notification SMS can be
sent.
You can set the SMS message that can be maximum
32 characters long.
•An automatic activation/deactivation time for
module can be set. This needs activation and
deactivation time.
•Besides to the notified numbers a module
status notification SMS can also be sent to the
controlling number.
GSM alarm center expansion panel

•By using the expansion panel GSM module can be converted to standalone alarm center.
•The expansion panel connects to the slot next to the programmer port according to the position on figure 7.
•Simultaneously only one expansion panel can be attached to the module.
•The alarm center expansion module provides the following new features for the module:
•status output; if you connect an LED to it (using a resistor to control the flowing power) you can have light
feedback of the armed module status. When you arm the module the LED starts to flash.
•open collector output that serves as a second output. When it is controlled it will close with the GND of the
expansion alarm.
•Extra input through which module can be armed/disarmed by a continuous contact or an impulse (we suggest
connecting key switch here)
•Piezzo connecting point; facilitating sound for differentiating exit time (arming state) and alarm
Remote surveillance settings (voice call)
•Remote surveillance notification can be used side by side with the SMS and voice
call notifications. This feature works at more than 50% of signal strength.
•Regarding the order first remote surveillance will be notified than remaining
notifications will be processed.
•Two remote surveillance numbers can be set. If there is a connection failure with
the first number it will call the second phone number.
•Client code is decided by the remote surveillance. You can use only your own
code.
•The communication with the remote surveillance can be improved by changing the
signal level of the module transceiver.
•First example: if remote surveillance cannot interpret the code received sender level has to be adjusted
•Second example: if the GSM module during the
handshake does not receives accurately reply from
remote surveillance the Receiver value has to be
modified
•Change the default settings only in case when this is
required by the available signal strength or by remote
surveillance distinctives.
Using your own signal (Contact ID) codes
•The module can forward also self generated signals
(ex. signals to inputs, power supply failure) to remote
surveillance.
•Contact ID and Zone codes can be modified.
•Notification can be revised under the Maintenance -> Module state display tab. Here in the error code window
sending actual Contact ID is displayed.
•If messages sent are not interpretable signal strength and module antenna position must be checked.
•The connected antenna should be away from the module and any other electric device or cable!
GPRS settings
On this page the carrying protocol can be set for data transmission.
We suggest TCP usage only in justified situations, the UDP
communication facilitates much quicker communication.
•In the latter case no need for user and password input.
•Compatible communication protocols are ENIGMA and SIA
IP.
•At server address IP address and Domain name (this
needs DNS server configuration) is also accepted.

ProCon GSM
•Backup servers can also be used to ensure communication.
•Frequency of the test message can be set. Aspecial Contact ID code can also be assigned to it.
•At GPRS client code module uses the client code saved on the Voice call tab when forwards via GPRS/IP.
•Own tokens can be set (inputs, power supply monitor, tampering, life signs). Codes associated to this can be set
on the Remote Surveillance tab.
•Logging Contact ID sent codes are saved in the module event log.
Other settings options
Other module settings can be found on this tab. For better accessibility we have organized these parameters along
several categories: general voice call and SMS.
On General tab you will find the followings:
•Extension card selection (EXP Relay or EXP Alarm)
•Arming with impulse; by selecting this option an impulse sent to the input of EXP Alarm will cause
arming/disarming.
•Entry postponing used with delayed input
•Exit postponing defines the time devoted to leave zones after arming
•Setting SMS message when alarm comes in effect (SMS command: 1234SMSTEXT16=sms text*).
•PC security code modification (at empty field the code is not required)
•When in closed closure (using tamper microswitch) module LEDs can be switched off.
•Saving output state to inner memory, so at powering on output state will be set according to what was saved.
•Activation with caller identification can be set here if we want to arm/disarm the module with a call.
•Input sensitivity (in switched off state: 10 ms, low: 100 ms, normal: 400 ms, average: 1 sec, high: 5 sec)
•Voice menu switch off can be made here
On Voice call tab you can find the followings:
•Voice call parameters: setting ringing and talking time and number of call
attempts. (SMS command: 1234RINGTIME=030 →ringing for 30 seconds)
•Selecting multiple call option every notified phone number has to acknowledge the
call.
On SMS tab you can find the followings:
•SMS forwarding to one of the 8 telephone numbers. Warning! Never select the number of the module!

•OAlso here you can set the SMS programming security code
•Daily SMS limit: it can be set how many SMSs can the module send a day. This limit can be removed by
entering 255. If you set limit to 0 the module will not send any SMS!
•Number of maximum SMS sending attempts also can be set.
•Forwarding SMS arriving to the module to the phone number to be notified. (SMS order: 1234REDIR=1…8)
•SMS header, which will appear at the beginning of messages.Programming with Android ased mo ile phone
Starting the program
After program installation it can be started with the AndroRead
icon from the menu.
When installing the application installation from untrusted
sources has to be enabled.
This can be done by checking Settings→Applications →
Untrusted sources.
This function blocks installations of applications that are not from
official sources (not installed from Google Play). Check if your
phone is Bluetooth enabled.
After starting AndroRead it will ask for switching Bluetooth on if it
was previously off. If this demand is rejected the program exits
due to the missing connection link.
Connecting to the module
By tapping the Connect to a Bluetooth programmer button you
can choose the programmer you would like to connect to.
It sees only that programmer that was formerly attached to the
module.
After choosing device a status line runs while the program reads
out actual module settings and state.
When connection is successful main module settings can be read
out.•Connected device (usually GSM programmer)
•Type
•Firmware version
•Boot version
The menu tree
In the program header the status changes to Connected: GSM
programmer (name of the connected device).
On this tab the module settings can be refreshed with the Setting
Status button.
By tapping the Menu first navigation menu can be reached.
The settings saving and loading can be achieved by tapping the
Save and Open buttons.
On the first page inputs, outputs, tamper, life sign, power supply
monitor, open/close, jammer, incoming calls and the Other tab
settings can be altered.
By tapping next button the second navigation menu can be
reached. Here the GPRS, remote surveillance, Contact ID and
line simulation values can be altered.

Programming with SMS commands
Module can also be programmed by SMS commands. SMS starts always with the security code that can be modified
whenever you want. Commands can be piled but the SMS length must be under 160 characters.
The module (if it is possible) will send reply SMS after every message. You can switch this off with NO SMS command or
with the RECALL command when the module makes a call to confirm the successful programming.
Command criteria:
•can not contain accented characters
•command characters are capitals
•commands have to be separated with space
•besides = you can also use #.
•messages have to start with security code that is followed by first command without space
•SMS text command has to end with # character
