4.GSM Modem Operation
GSM Modem starts regular operation by connecting modem to UPS with CC05 RS232 cable(green cable) after
configuration process. SIM card should be inserted before powering GSM modem.
GSM modem automatically choses proper communication protocol for respetive UPS model. GSM modem supports
TX100, TX300 and TX301 UPS communication protocols.
GM-3 models have internal battery unit. If GSM modem has external power, batteries will charge(if needed). If
external power is cut off, device will operate on battery energy. This feature allows modem to send SMS to user even
if batteries are empty. After powering GM-3 modem, switch the ON/OFF switch to “ON” position.
Connect power adapter to GM-2 modem during stand alone operation.

5.GMB1 external battery unit connection (for GM-2 modem)
There is no internal battery unit in GM-2 modems. Therefore, GM-2 modem is powered from UPS and if UPS output is
closed GM-2 modem will not operate. For operation under such a situation, an external GMB1 battery unit is designed
to work with GM-2 modems. Connection of GMB1 battery unit to GM-2 modem is shown below. When GMB1 battery
unit is connected to GM-2 modem, DC power adapter should be connected to GMB1 battery unit instead of GM-2
modem. Also, ON/OFF switch of the GMB1 battery unit should be switch ON.
