14. name of the device in the beginning of all alarm and timed messages This name can also be used in directing alarm messages to special services provided by the operator These special services are different from operator to operator and therefore their availability should be checked beforehand For example there could be services for directing alarm messages to your telefax machine The prefix can be 20 characters long at the most Naming the device o MEN 10 yyy yy the device name Removing the name A10 If you decide to combine several commands in one text message and you want to remove the device name you have to place command A10 last because otherwise the device name will be changed to whatever comes after A10 Text Messages Limit Command A4 sets an upper limit for the number of text messages TC is allowed to send daily This prevents text messages from being sent if for example the unit malfunctions for some reason The default is 100 and the maximum is 32000 text messages in a day Setting limit to text messages HH 100 TC will receive and execute commands normally even if the allowed daily guota of text messages has been consumed However TC will not send any confirmation messages in response to the commands it receives Set the daily limit large enough if you are not getting any confirmation messages to your commands Set the limit back to its original value after 24 hours when the text message counter has been
15. parameter c phone calls from this phone number can switch TC from normal to disable operating mode or vice versa for example P3 358xxxxxxx 1 101 0 see chapter 4 4 3 If you give number 100 as parameter d data calls from this phone number are routed directly to the TC s command interpreter for example P3 358xxxxxxx 1 0 100 Itis useful to have the number of the installer set in this manner so that he or she can make setup changes effortlessly though data connection It is advisable to check the contents of the directory after any experiments so that no unwanted numbers remain in the directory The following commands are used in displaying and editing the numbers in the directory 4 1 2 4 1 3 17 Asking the contents of the directory This will print out the entire phone directory P1 P20 Asking a single phone number Bix X directory location 1 through 20 Asking a single phone number and its macro settings Aix X directory location 1 through 20 This will print out the phone number and the macro commands Removing a phone number X directory location 1 through 20 This will clear the directory location x Permission Levels Permission level b can be assigned to a phone number by adding a number 1 4 after the actual phone number All phone numbers have unlimited rights level 1 by default All phone numbers can receive alarm messages regardless of the permission level Level 1 All rights
16. this level is used if no parameter b is given in the command Level 2 Can receive alarms and send commands to set relays on and off Level 3 Can only receive alarm messages Level 4 Can only receive alarm messages but macro commands are also available Wild Card Characters It is possible to use so called wild card characters in the phone directory Wild card characters enable the use of TC even if the phone number is given in its entirety The following wild card characters are available 2 matches any digit exactly one matches zero or more digits For example in command P1 35840123 the last four exactly four numbers can be any digits Whereas command P2 2 grants permission level 2 to all phone numbers If wild card characters are used in the directory information security issues must be considered carefully You should never grant permission level 1 to any number that has wild card characters It is recommended to use permission level 2 or 4 for these phone numbers This prevents the modification of the unit s settings from phone numbers that contain wild card characters amp If a phone number contains wild card characters no alarm messages are sent to the numbers matching the pattern A hint The company that performs the installation of your TC can leave their maintenance phone number or their TeleCont phone number in the unit s phone directory The maintenance worker is able to adjust the settings of the device

33. erating mode can be changed by several different means it is recommended that only one method is used to avoid confusion about the current state of your TC Commands on Operating Mode Change You might want to have different settings for normal and disable modes This can be achieved by setting TC to execute setup commands when operating mode is changed For example you might want to have lower temperature alarm limits when you are at home 4 4 5 4 5 25 Setting relay and macro command So x y z X relay used for signaling operating mode this is always 0 not used in TC543 model y macro command number 1 10 which is executed when normal mode is switched on z macro command number 1 10 which is executed when disable mode is switched on The commands are cleared by setting x y and z to 0 Notice that there is no relay in TC543 model for operating mode To set alarm limits for temperature sensors T2 and T3 according to operating mode A30 056 M5 Away T2 10 25 T3 5 25 M6 Home T2 5 25 T3 5 25 Status Report Command returns a report that contains important status information If the unit is in disable mode OFF and there are people in the monitored premises there could be alarms in Active alarms Asking status report Ho This command returns a status report containing the operating mode battery voltage temperatures GSM signal strength and active alarms TC Security ON Batt 13 5 T1 2
34. eriodically with command A36 TC can also be started in response to the input from control circuit one 33 If your TC is in power save mode all outgoing alarm messages experience about one minute delay compared to the behaviour in normal operating mode This delay is caused by the start up procedure TC goes through and the time needed in establishing GSM network connection TC begins the start up procedure as soon as it receives an alarm from input 1 However even in this case TC will be functional only during the operating time The sensor connected to the control circuit one must be normally open contact and it must remain closed for at least as long as it takes for TC to start plus the activation time specified for the channel This means that the contact must be closed for at least one whole minute otherwise no alarm messages are sent even if TC starts W It should be noted that the deactivation time for the alarm channel 1 must have elapsed before TC can enter power save mode again Therefore one second activation and deactivation times are recommended for the alarm channel 1 Alarms that have been activated during the power save cycle will be sent when the input from the control circuit one causes TC to start 5 1 3 Restart Message TC can send a restart message when the power is switched on although this feature is not enabled by default a 0 Enabling the restart message N sie a yl y a c d and yyy are the same as
