Other Settings for SMS Alarm
This would be set to help avoid false
alarms from systems that could be
susceptible to spirulas signals. An
example of this would be a tank
containing liquid where a float switch
has been set up to monitor how full it is.
In this scenario the top of the liquid
could have some movement (waves)
which will send a signal from the float
switch a number of times as the float
moves up and down. By setting a
delay time the SMS alarm panel will not
send out a text message until it has
received a constant signal for a defined
length of time.
Text:
Example: HOLD 60
This will wait for a continuous signal of
1 minute before sending the text
message.
Note: If you have a second device
fitted to GRD and input B then you can
apply a delay to this as well. Send the
text message:
7. Delaying the text message
before it’s sent
HOLD (number in seconds)
It is advisable to test the signal strength
for the particular network you have
decided to go with to ensure the SMS
alarm will operate correctly.
Text:
You will receive a reply to your phone
that looks like this:
The number relates to the signal
strength. A figure of 15 or above is
ideal for reliable operation. However
the system will still work down to a
figure of 8, but there could be times
when it becomes unresponsive.
8. Testing the signal strength
CSQ
9. Checking what numbers
are stored
This will send a text message to your
phone of all the different numbers
currently stored and the order they are
in.
Text: List
Please note that only the last 8 digits of
the number will be shown in the text
reply.
HoldB (number in seconds)
In both cases there needs to be a
space after the HOLD/HoldB words
Repeat for inputs C and D as above.
>RSSI (number)
If anything is connected to the relay
output, this will need to be switched on.
Text:
This will activate the relay, please note
there needs to be a space between the
word EXIT and ENABLE
10. Activating the Relay
EXIT ENABLE
The length of time that the relay is
activated can be set so that if you want
to switch off the device connected to
the relay (such as a sounder/beacon)
after a period of time you can.
Text:
This will activate the relay for a time in
minutes, please note there is a space
between RLY and TIME but no space
after TIME where the number is typed.
There also needs to be a full stop at the
en of the text message.
Example: RLY TIME60m.
This will activate the relay for 60
minutes.
11. Relay Activation Time
RLY TIME(number)m.
This command sets the repeat time
between sending the message out
should the first time the message is
sent not be acknowledged. The time
delay can be set between 1 second
and 250 minutes.
Text:
Example: HOLDA R60
This will wait for a 1 minute before
sending the text message out again.
Note: If you have a second device
fitted to GRD and input B then you can
apply a repeat to this as well. Send the
text message:
7. Resending the message if
not acknowledged
HOLDA R (seconds)
HoldB R (seconds)
In both cases there needs to be a
space after the HOLDA/B before the R
but no space between the R and the
number.
Repeat for inputs C and D as above.
