More information

SIM card

An activated SIM card of a GSM network provider is used (e.g.

T-Mobile D1, Vodafone D2, E-Plus, O2 – even prepaid cards).

The card is prepared for use in the GSM alarm module in a

conventional cell phone, by setting the PIN to "1234". The device

can then be simply configured and put into service without any

software tools or programming skills. The status of two digital

inputs are monitored and in the event of any change, an SMS is

sent. By sending an SMS from a cell phone to the GSM alarm

module you can switch the output.

Administrator

One cell telephone number has administrator rights. This

administrator number is used to specify the signaling and

control texts, define time responses at outputs and inputs and

register and store up to 5 further phone numbers in the device.

An SMS alarm message is then also sent to these 5 phone

numbers in the event of a fault.

Freecall function

The freecall function is an extremely interesting feature and –

unlike the sending of SMS messages – completely free. It can be

used for the functions of the GSM alarm module. By simply

selecting the device, this function can be used to switch the

output, switch it over or call up the switching states of inputs and

outputs. The GSM alarm module detects the phone number that

is calling, checks the authorization and executes the desired

function. To use this function, the anonymous call feature must

be disabled on the phone being used.

Safety in the event of power failure

In contrast to the 5TT7 110-0 GSM alarm module, the 5TT7 120-0

version is also fitted with a backup battery. Any device power

failure is detected by the 5TT7 120-0 GSM alarm module. The

device then sends an appropriate alarm SMS and switches itself

off.

Status interrogation

A status SMS can be used to query the switching state of both

inputs and the output. If required, the freecall function can also

be used for this purpose.

Heartbeat function

The GSM alarm module automatically sends a status SMS at

user-definable intervals.

User-definable device name

In the devices, users can define their own device names. This

device name then prefixes each SMS. If more than one device is

in use, the user can clearly see where the alarm has occurred.

Power-On SMS

If required, the GSM alarmmodule automatically sends a so-called

Power-On SMS with device name and time delay after the system

is switched on. A time delay can be set for the inputs. If there is

a change in the device state, the alarm SMS is not sent until the

set delay time has expired.

Time delay

The adjustable delay time serves to suppress the sending of

multiple alarm SMS texts, e.g. in the case of chattering contacts.

This time is started after an alarm SMS is sent. No further SMS is

then sent within the set time interval.

Monoflop function

This allows a time to be set after which the output is automatically

reset to zero.

Password protection

If the password protection is activated, the password must be

entered as a prefix to each SMS. This protects against

unauthorized access.

Interrogation settings

All the settings of a device can be called up using a range of

SMS interrogations.
