panels to provide the following facilities:
•Report system events (alarms, arm, disarm etc.) via text messaging to mobile
telephones
•Remotely arm, disarm and obtain current status of the alarm system via text

Installation
The ComGSM module should be installed as close to the control panel as possible, so
that the harness lead supplied with the unit is able to plug onto the control panel
communication port.
1. Route the harness lead into the module housing using the top left cable
entry and plug the connector onto COM1 ().

3. Route the other end of the harness lead into the control panel housing.
DO NOT CONNECT at this point.
4. Connect the GSM antenna to the antenna connector on the module ()and site
the antenna as high as possible.
5. Unlock the SIM socket by sliding the locking tab downwards. Insert the SIM card
into the holder with the chamfered corner to the top left. Push the holder back
into position and lock the SIM by sliding the locking tab upwards.
The SIM card must be inserted before connecting the ComGSM module to
the control panel, and must not be removed until after the power supply to
the ComGSM module has been deactivated.
6. Set the option switches as required, see page 3.
7. Now connect the harness lead onto the control panel communication port (COM
2 for the Premier 24;COM 1 or 2 for the Premier 48/88/168/640).
8. The module should now be powered and the heartbeat LED () should be
flashing.
