6 D-305708 VGSM-120 Installation Instructions
Description
This Communicator manages SMS and Central Station transmissions and can simulate the land line in the
event of trouble (land line down) or even substitute the land line completely in areas where the GSM service
is provided and where the land line is not available. It has capability of communicating alarm signals via the
GPRS data network. This capability enables a fast reliable path to central stations equipped with a Sur-Gard
System III or System II receiver. The performance of this Communicator depends greatly on GSM Network
coverage, therefore, it should not be mounted without first performing placement tests of the antenna to
determine the best location for reception (at least 1 green LED should remain lit). The VGSM-120
Communicator has 3 terminals which can be programmed as follows:
Outputs (default setting) which can be activated/deactivated remotely, or used to provide status
indications (problems on the PSTN telephone line; problems on the GSM network; Supervision
Message Missing; Fail To Communicate).
Input lines for speech dialer and SMS dialer activation; these functions can also be used to transmit
status indications. Due to the characteristics of GSM Networks, this Communicator can activate only as
intended and cannot be used as a modem for fax/data transmissions or for teleservice operations.
Identification of Parts
The numbers in square brackets [ ] in this manual refer to the main parts of this Communicator (see Fig. 1)
described in this section.

2. INSTALLING THE DEVICE
(SEE FIG. 1)

Notes: Do not route any wiring over circuit boards.
This Communicator shall be installed by qualified SERVICE PERSONS only, in the shelter of a
safe and dry site, away from radio-transmitting equipment.
Test the GSM Network reception before mounting this Communicator in the proposed placement.
1. Mark the position of the holes [19] required to fix the metal base [17] to the wall.
2. Drill holes in the wall as marked.
3. Insert the 4 PCB supports [16] into the holes on the metal base [27].
4. Feed the connection cables through the opening on the base [22].
5. Fix the metal base to the wall using wall anchors (not supplied).
Caution! Make sure you do not damage wiring or pipes in the chase.
6. Position the electronic P.C.B. on the supports [16] and push it down until it clicks into position, as
illustrated in Figure 1.
7. Connect the antenna cable [3] to the connector on the electronic PCB [4].
8. Feed the antenna cable [3] the cable clamp tab [26], then through the opening [23].
9. Position the antenna [1] on the upper edge of the base so that the magnetic base [2] adheres to the
surface.
Note: The antenna may be positioned on the top edge of the base, at the point most suited to receiving
the GSM signal.
10. If necessary, fit the MAXIASNC anti-tamper switch [15] (optional) to the pins as illustrated in Figure 1.
Note: The switch lever must be directed as illustrated in Figure 1, otherwise the device will not work
correctly.
11. Perform the terminal block connections [10] as described in par. "Connecting the device" and, if necessary,
connect the anti-tamper switch (for connecting the tamper switch see the "Connecting the device-
>Auxiliary connections" section).
12. Following the arrow, insert the SIM-CARD [8] face down in the SIM holder [6] (see Figure 1).
CAUTION! The SIM-CARD PIN must be disabled before the card is inserted into the Communicator.
CAUTION! It is recommended that you disable call forwarding on your SIM card.
13. Make sure that all the green LEDs flash when the product is switched on; this means the Communicator
is in its initialization phase.
14. Checking Signal Strength:
oMake sure that at least one of the green LEDs remains lit; all green LEDs lit indicates optimal
coverage;
oIf the green LEDs are not illuminated, the signal strength is TOO WEAK; for the signal to be of an
acceptable level, at least one green LED must be lit.
15. Close the communicator: fasten the lower side of the cover [18] to the base [17] then press the upper edge
of the base to close the cover; fix the cover in place using screws [25].
CAUTION! Connect power circuit and the telephone line only after the cabinet has been secured to the

4. STATUS LEDS

There are 5 LEDs on the PCB (see Figure 3): three green LEDs (L1, L2 and L3), one yellow LED (L4) and one
red LED (L5). These indicate the connection, transmission, malfunction conditions and the Communicator status
(see table 2).
Note: During initialization and the programming phase, the LEDs flash.
RED — This LED is normally OFF. It indicates malfunctioning by flashing in the event of trouble. On
power-up, this Device will check for certain trouble conditions to be met shown in the opposite table.
The most significant malfunctioning status will be indicated, with the corresponding number of flashes
of the RED LED (L5), (see the opposite table for number of flashes and malfunctioning indication
priority).
YELLOW — This LED will switch ON when the interface switches to the GSM Network (due to land line
trouble or the lack of this line). If it flashes slowly, it indicates that a call is taking place on the GSM
network (both incoming and outgoing). If lit steadily along with the red LED, this indicates that the
default manufacturer data is loading.
GREEN — The three green LEDs (L1, L2 e L3) indicate the GSM signal strength and status (Table 2),
as illustrated in Figure 3:
oThe first LED (L1) near the fixing hole. If this LED is OFF, the GSM Network service is
unavailable (NO SERVICE). If only this LED is ON, the GSM Network reception is weak but
sufficient to manage all telephone communications.
oThe second LED (L2). When this LED is ON, the reception is good. This LED will switch ON only
when the first GREEN LED is ON.
oThe third LED (L3). When this LED is ON, indicates excellent GSM signal strength; it only
illuminates when the first and second LEDs are already ON.
