Installation
GECON Lite is supplied as a board with four holes for mounting. You can mount the Gecon by attached special
stickers or screws (screws are not included in the package). f you are placing the Gecon inside of metal box, use
an external antenna and place it outside the box. External antenna is also recommended in locations with lower
signal level.
Warnin !!!
You have to disable P N on the S M card and delete all SMS messages before placing it into the
communicator.
Disablin PIN code
Put the S M card into a standard mobile phone and turn the phone on. nsert the P N code during phone
startup. Navigate through the phone menu to security settings and disable P N code protection. Now the S M card
is ready for configuaration in the Gecon communicator. Turn off the phone, remove the S M card.
GECON Lite Startup
• nsert the S M into the Gecon Lite (be sure P N code is disabled)
• Connect the Gecon to voltage.
• Registration to GSM network. f the Gecon is not registered within 60 seconds (see LED status
si nalization section below), please check the S M card and signal strength.
• Gecon is ready for use.
LED status si nalization:
• Slow LED blinking (on/off in 1:1 seconds) – GSM network unavailable.
• Short LED blinking (one blink every 4 seconds) – registered into GSM network
• Permanent shine– event detected on the input (alarm/trouble), device is sending SMS and calls according
to the settings.
f the shines only for few seconds (2.5 seconds) the numbers for the input are not set correctly.
Gecon Lite Plus Setup
GECON L TE PLUS is GSM gateway that allows several modes of operation, therefore it is necessary to
setup parameters according to customer needs.
1. Phone numbers
2. nput logic NO/NC
3. Type of input ALARM/TROUBLE
4. Additional functions
For convenient setup, settings of Gecon are set by SMS commands from mobile phone. For security reasons,
each SMS has to begin with password. Default password is abcd, it is recommended to change the password
immediately. Gecon is not case sensitive, you can use both small and capital letters.
Current settin s:
You can view the current settings by sending following query SMS to GECON phone number. Gecon will reply you
with SMS containing current settings
VER - device version
PHONE - phone numbers settings
TEXT - texts settings
SETUP - other parameters settings
WPR NT - dictionary for online print (reply by TWO SMS messages)
HELP - lists all query SMS options
? - current status of inputs and relays
Example: abcd SETUP
Note: While setup SMS message can contain several commands, query SMS above can contain only one
commad in one query SMS.

6
Phone number settin s:
GECON Plus can send reports to 4 phone numbers. Numbers are set following:
T1=090311111
T2=
T3=
T4=65464464
To delete a number from Gecon, use the command with # character instead of number.
Example:
Setup of first phone number
abcd T1=0901777555
Delete of first number
abcd T1=#
By inserting a phone number, all events from all inputs are reported to all numbers.
You can change this by function of report routing. (See Additional functions)
Input lo ic:
Digital input can have two states – open and close. Therefore it is necessary to determine which state is normal,
and which is a reason for triggering of alarm. Two states are commonly used with security devices – NO and NC.
NO - normally open
NC - normally closed
The inputs can be set by SMS following:
O - normally open
C - normally closed
Example:
LOG=OCCO
nput 1 is normally open NO
nput 2 is normally closed NC
nput 3 is normally closed NC
nput 4 is normally open NO
Setup of input type
Digital inputs can have two functions- to report alarm and information about trouble/recovery.
Alarm is reported by SMS and voice call on predefined numbers. Recovery after alarm is not reported.
Trouble/recovery from the trouble is reported by SMS.
A- alarm input
T- trouble input
Example:
N=AAAA
All inputs are alarm inputs..
N=ATTT
First input is alarm input and remaining three are trouble inputs.

7
Additional functions
These function specify or modify basic functioning of Gecon Lite plus Gateway.
Reports routin
By default, all events (alarms and troubles) are reported to all numbers in address book. This setting is
possible to change, that selected phone numbers (T1-4) will be only reported about events on selected inputs. n
this way, you can sort out the reports according to the level of importance.
VT1=1234 - T1 will be informed about events on all inputs
VT2=34 - T2 will be informed about events on inputs 3 and 4
Example:
VT1=2 - events from input 2 are reported to phone number T1
Note:
Every setting of new phone number with T1 –T4 commands resets this routing to default, meaning that newly set
number will be informed about all events on all inputs.
Input delay
For some applications, it is necessary that the events will be reported only in the case their duration
is longer as defined period. n this way you can filter out the events that have no impact on the protection of the
building.
nput delay is by default set to 0 minutes, meaning that the event is reported immediately. You can set the
parameter between 0 and 120 (minutes). You can set it following:
D1=time delay of input 1 reporting and time in minutes
D2=time delay of input 2 reporting and time in minutes
For example, in most cases it is not necessary to report power cuts immediately (circuit breakers could be switched
back on in few minutes). But power cuts longer than few minutes shall be reported.
D1=30 - input 1 will report only events lasting longer than 30 minutes.
Alarm filterin :
Alarm filtering is a cost-saving function.
f the time filter is on, subsequent alarms triggered on the same inputs are ignored by Gecon. The idea is not to
report any addition alarms during predefined time period (in minutes). This function can save you the prepaid
credit. This function is off by default that means set to 0 minutes. Filter works independently for every input.
Example:
Set time filter for 15 minutes.
abcd F=15
Example:
Turn time filter off: abcd F=0

8
Texts setup:
GECON L TE PLUS sends predefined SMS messages to report what type of event has occured. You can
change these predefined messages that are sent by Gecon. f you would like to see current texts settings, please
send query SMS TEXT to phone number of GECON L TE PLUS.
Example:
abcd TEXT - get current texts settings
Reply SMS from GECON L TE PLUS will contain object name or event type, and text message after = sign:
OBJ - object name
AL1  AL4 - texts for alarm/trouble reports from inputs 1  4
RE1  RE4 - texts for recovery reports from inputs 1  4
REP - text report SMS
You can edit the message by typing the type of report, = sign, and text message after the = sign. # sign has to be
at the end of the setup command. Maximum length of the text is 15 characters.
Example:
abcd AL1=message1# - setup of message about the alarm on input 1
abcd RE3=message2# - setup of message about the recovery on input 3
f you would like to delete a particular message, you can do this by simply putting only the # sign instead of
message. Reports will not be sent.
Example:
abcd RE4=# - delete the message RE4
Password chan e:
Default password is abcd. t is highly recommended to change the password immediately.
H=pqcr - command to change password
Example:
abcd h=pqcr SETUP
When putting SETUP at the end, Gecon will confirm you the change with SMS message.
RELAY output:
Gecon contains one switch relay. Relay is normally switched off. You can control it remotely by SMS command or
you can use it for signalization of trouble.
R=OFF - switch off the relay
R=ON - switch on the relay
R=TROUBLE - set the relay to signal the trouble
R=10 - generate 10 seconds impulse [time interval can be 1...60 seconds]
(impulse is understood as change from current status of relay to opposite and back )

9
Periodical test:
Periodical test is control mechanism to verify if the gateway is functional and connected. Test is performed by
ringing to the first number in the list (T1) in defined time intervals. n case of accepting the call, gateway will close
the call automatically. Periodical test is setup by command
test=time_in_hours
f set to 0, periodical test is switched off. First report is executed one hour after the setup and than regularly in the
defined interval. Maximum interval is 240 hours.
Example:
abcd test=24 - periodical test will be performed every 24 hours
SMS periodical test:
SMS test report is similar control mechanism to check gateway’s functionality.
Report message is sent to the first number in the list (T1). t is set by command
report=interval_in_days
f set to 0, SMS periodical test is switched off. First report is executed 24 hours after the setup and than regularly
in the defined interval.
Example:
abcd report=14 - setup of SMS report with 14 days period
You will receive SMS message „GECON L TE PLUS: report“ to the T1 number.
Practical example:
You can send all commands in one configuration SMS if you follow these rules:
• SMS needs to begin with 4 characters password
• Query SMS has to be at the end of the SMS message
• Commands have to be separated by space
Example:
abcd T1=090xxxxxxx T2=090yyyyyyy VT2=1 N=AT LOG=CC
| | | | |
| | | | +-- input logic NC / NO
| | | +---------- first input is alarm, second input is trouble
| | |
| | +------------ power cut is reported to only the first number
| |
| +------------------------ second number
+--------------------------------------- first number
First input is alarm with NC logic, second is trouble with NC logic. Alarm is reported to both numbers, and power
cut is reported to only the first number.

GECON LITE PLUS – On line print
On-line print function is an universal interface for connection of security system control panel and Gecon lite plus.
This function enables monitoring of the control panel with detailed evaluation of all events based on analysis of
dictionary of key words. The dictionary defines, on which key words will Gecon lite plus react. f the word is present
in the dictionary, standard reaction is sending a SMS message that contains the key word.
On line print is mapped as input number 5. t is set by vt1 to vt4 command (see section report routing).
Additional option is to define priority message, which will cause not only SMS message to be sent, but also voice
dial to alert customer. The key word starts with ! character.
n special case you might need to cancel sending of message that would have been otherwise sent. To cancel
sending the message, put $ character before the keyword.
For example, you do not need to report about disarming if done by particular person (code)
Message sent from the control panel: 10:45 disarm code 45
With W1=disarm command active, Gecon lite would by default send all messages containing word disarm to SMS.
However when $ character is in front of the keyword, such keyword would cancel sending of the message. As the
result the report would not be sent.
Confi uration SMS example for cancel function.
abcd print=on W1=disarm# W2=$code 45#
To activate online print function, use following command: print=on
To deactivate online print function: print=off
You can set the key words by SMS commands w1 - w16. Each key word has to be ended with character #.
Maximum length of each key word is 15 characters. You can also set the keywords via PC program in ON-L NE
section.
GECON L TE PLUS is not case sensitive.
Commands for SMS settings:
w1 .. w16 - setting of key words
print=on - activation of the function
print=off - deactivation of the function
BAUD=1200 - speed of serial port
Allowed speeds are: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200
Example :
Use of Online print function of the purpose of control of arming and disarming of security system
Security system sends messages ARM and D SARM during the arming and disarming process, ALARM at the
alarm event and at the malfunctions and power supply outage.
Settin s:

11
abcd print=on w1=!ALARM# w2=ARM# w3=D SARM# w4=FA L# t1=090xxxxxx vt1=5
Example of online report from the security system:
14:25 ALARM P R-hallway
14:26 D SARM John Smith
Example of practical use of this function:
1. Signalization of the alarm event with exact localization
2. Control of arming – disarming
3. Control which particular person armed – disarmed security system
4.

GECON LITE PLUS in control panel mode
New feature of Gecon lite is a functionality of a small independent control panel. You can connect Dallas key
reader supporting up to 8 keys that serve for arming and disarming. Control panel also contains buzzer and control
LED diodes. The connection scheme is following:
You will need to power the device from external backed up power source with nominal voltage of 12V or use the
back-up power supply provided by manufacturer.
You can activate control panel mode by sending the command:
BUT=ON
GECON L TE PLUS is now set to the control panel mode. Subsequently you will need to programm iButton (Dallas
Keys) if they were not already programmed.
WARNING !!! Delay of inputs is not functioning in this mode and has to be set to zero level.
Note: Function of alarm filtering affects only calls, it does not affect the siren output.
f the input is set as status or permanent, it reacts both in armed and disarmed state. (please see below for input
types settings)

13
Turnin off the „control panel mode“
To turn off the control panel mode and return to caller mode, send SMS command in following form:
IBUT=OFF
Note: Programmed DALLAS keys will remain in the memory, the memory for the numbers is same for the caller
and control panel mode.
To delete and program Dallas keys please use following commands:
To delete all pro rammed Dallas keys: command IBDA
To pro ram Dallas keys fo free positions: command IBRN
After receiving above command, buzzer will beep and LED diode will blink with high frequency. n this moment you
can add codes of additional keys to memory of Gecon lite plus. You can do it by attaching the keys. Programming
(learning of the particular keys) is signalized by double beep of the buzzer. f you attached the key twice, long beep
will sound. t is possible to program (learn) up to 8 Dallas keys. The learning regime will end after one minute, or by
attaching of 8 Dallas keys.
f the programming was already performed, new programming will not erase previously programmed keys, it will
only add new ones.
Settin of input type:
Digital inputs in control panel mode can be set in several ways:
A – Delayed loop – the breach will not trigger alarm if a Dallas key is attached to the control panel in entrance
delay
I – Instant loop– the breach will trigger alarm immediately in armed status.
P – Permanent loop – the breach will trigger alarm both in armed and disarmed status.
T – Status loop– input is active both in armed and disarmed status and sends SMS by every change of status
You can set loop type by command IN by putting = character after N and defining each of 4 inputs.
The sequence of symbols A,I,P,T after = defines also the sequence of set inputs. That means that first letter
defines first input, second letter second input and so on.
Example:
abcd IN=AIPT - 1= Delayed 2= Instant 3= Permanent 4= Status
abcd IN=AIIP - 1= Delayed 2= Instant 3= Instant 4= Permanent
Settin of exit delay:
This setting is done by command abcd EXIT=10
This command will set exit delay to 10 seconds. Allowed range is from 3 to 240 seconds.
Settin of entrance delay:
This setting is done by command abcd ENTRY=20
This command will set entrance delay to 20 seconds. Allowed range is from 3 to 240 seconds.

14
Settin of timer of external siren
This setting is done by commands abcd ALARM=30
This command will cause the siren to sound for 30 seconds. Allowed range is from 0 to 240 seconds. 0 will disable
the siren during the alarm event.
Note: Commands ALARM and BUT=on will cancel previous settings of RELAY. Vice versa, all RELAY commands
will cancel siren settings.
Armin of the control panel:
n disarmed status, Gecon lite plus shall signalize as follows: blue LED diodes on the reader shine permanently
and LED diode on the board shines permanently. After attaching valid Dallas key, buzzer will beep shortly twice
and subsequently, short beeps together with short blinks of LED diodes signalize exit delay of 20 seconds (time is
configurable). Last 6 seconds is signalized by faster beeps. f during exit delay one of alarm inputs is activated,
long beep will sound and arming process needs to be restarted. The start of armed status is signalized by two long
beeps and red signalization LED will shine permanently. n the moment of arming, no loop cannot be activated,
otherwise the arming process will not finish.
Disarmin of the control panel:
n armed status, red LED diodes on control panes are shining. Entry to the protected space is usually accompanied
with activation of alarm detectors connected to Gecon lite plus input loops. This is signalized by short beeps of
buzzer and blinks of blue LED diodes. During entry delay (default 20seconds, configurable) Dallas key needs to be
attached to the control panel. This is signalized by accepting double beeps and permanent shine of blue LED
diodes. f the Dallas key is not connected, alarm is triggered. Gecon lite plus performs all predefined actions such
as relay activation, alarm calls and SMS reports. Alarm can be cancelled by attaching of valid Dallas key to the
control panel.

15
Armin – disarmin by SMS command:
Arming and disarming can be also performed by SMS command in form abcd ARM and abcd DISARM.
Detection of validity and value of credit on the prepaid SIM cards via SMS:
This command will return validity of S M card and remaining credit on prepaid S M cards
abcd CREDIT phone number
Example:
abcd CREDIT *111# on T-mobile Slovakia S Ms
abcd CREDIT *100*# on O2 Slovakia S Ms
Note: please check with your S M card provider if this function is supported and for local settings.
