1. SMS CONTROL Page 4 Introduction GSM 12A is configured and controlled using regular SMS messages sent from mobile phones The factory set 1234 personal access code will be used in the following examples You should set a new access code as soon as possible and remember it Sending SMS messages SMS messages must always contain the following e First the 4 digit access code e Then any configuration control commands possibly several of them per SMS quotation marks are not part of the SMS Address SMS messages to GSM 12A by using the phone number of the SIM card inside it Overview of SMS commands A Alarm on or off B Activate deactivate alarm detectors inputs l1 and 12 D Set alarm text R Switch relay on or off S Status message T Timer control C Change personal access code L Limits for temperature surveillance J Activate temperature surveillance for the limits set with command L N Mobile number to which GSM 12A will send surveillance and alarm messages V Limits for power supply voltage surveillance between 7 and 15 volts G Activate voltage surveillance for the limits set with command V The space character may be used between commands but not inside a command 1234 R1 S1 is valid but 1234 R 1 S 1 will not be understood List of SMS commands A Alarm on off A is followed by 1 for on or 0 for off E g 1234 A1 switches on alarm surveill2. 12A does not send status messages Is it equipped with a pre pay SIM card If so is there any credit left on it Has the card been blocked by the network operator Check the syntax of your SMS command Do you use the right personal access code Page 7 PRECONDITIONS AND ADVICE In an SMS 1 always means ON and 0 zero is always OFF Uppercase and lowercase letters can be used equally in commands E g S1 is the same as s1 The 4 digit personal access code always comes as the first 4 characters of a message Space characters blanks may be used between commands but not inside a command 1234 R1 S1 is valid but 1234 R 1 S 1 will not be understood Temperatures can only be read if a sensor is connected to terminal T1 or T2 Temperatures can be measured in the range of 29 C to 49 C Status messages will report an X as temperature for each non connected sensor input Command L for setting limits will remain void in absence of sensors Several commands may be combined in a single message sent to GSM 12A in order to save time and SMS expenses Commands are executed in the textual order E g 1234 T130 N123456789 S1 orders to switch relay number 1 on for 30 hours to store a new phone number for alarm surveillance messages and finally requests a status message Measured temperatures depend on the location of the sensor There may be a difference of 2 3 degrees d
