OVERVIEW OF GSM MINI

• Based on standard GSM networks.

Operates in the 900/1800 MHz bands.

• Relay rating: 230V 10A, 2300W.

• Personal access code. Factory set to

“1234”.

• 1 LED for signal strength. A blinking green

light signals a faulty SIM card.

• 1 LED for relay status. A steady green

light signals that the relay is switched ON.

• 1 push-button to switch the relay on/off

locally.

BEFORE USE

All remote communication with GSM Mini takes

place through the GSM network. In order to

receive SMS command messages (for controlling

e.g. a heating appliance), GSM Mini needs to

have a SIM card installed, just like any standard

mobile phone.

SIM cards from any mobile phone operator will

work, both pre-pay and subscription based, as

long as they enable SMS messaging.

Remember that pre-pay solutions will often have

a limited life span, and need to be recharged with

credit at least once a year.

PREPARATION OF SIM CARD

GSM Mini requires the SIM card PIN code to be

deactivated. This is carried out by temporarily

inserting the SIM card into a normal GSM mobile

phone where the PIN code can be turned off

(please refer to the manual of your mobile

phone).

INSERTING THE SIM CARD

Always ensure that GSM Mini is powered off (i.e.,

it is not plugged into a socket) when manipulating

the SIM card. Insert the card as shown below,

with the notch in the top left corner and the gold

contacts facing down. Gently push the card until

it clicks in place.

If later you wish to withdraw the SIM card, first

gently push it inwards until a click signals that the

locking mechanism is open. Then you may pull

the card out of the slot.

START-UP:

When GSM Mini is plugged into the wall socket

(after its SIM card has been activated), the

Signal LED will first turn green after 5 seconds.

Then GSM Mini will continue the start-up

procedure and be ready for use after about 15

seconds.

SIGNAL STRENGTH:

The Signal LED shows the strength of the GSM

signal, as follows:

1. Green: Good signal.

2. Red: Medium quality signal.

3. Off (no light): Bad or no signal.

In case situation (2) or (3) occurs, it is recom-

mended to change the place of GSM Mini for

better coverage.

RESET OF PERSONAL ACCESS CODE

GSM Mini is factory set with “1234” as personal

access code. Should you lose or forget your

code, the following procedure will reset it to

“1234”:

•Pull GSM Mini out of the wall socket

•Press and hold the on/off switch on the

bottom faceplate

•Plug GSM Mini into the wall socket and

continue to hold the switch for another 5-

10 seconds before releasing it

•Access code is now set back to “1234”

GSM Mini Page 3

SMS control

GSM Mini 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:

•First, the 4-digit access code

•Then, any control commands (possibly

several of them inside the same SMS)

“” (quotation marks) shall not be written in the

SMS.

Address SMS messages to GSM MINI by using

the phone number of the SIM card inside it.

CONTROL COMMANDS

Rfor switching the Relay on or off

Rfollowed by 1for on or 0for off.

E.g.: “1234 R1” switches on the relay inside GSM Mini.

E.g.: “1234 R0” switches off the relay inside GSM Mini.

Sfor Status message

The Scommand makes GSM Mini reply with a

status message returned by SMS.

E.g.: “1234 S” obtains current status by SMS.

The returned status message will usually be like this:

Either “Relay On” or “Relay Off”, followed by

“Sikom GSM Mini V1.0 Telit” (software version of GSM

Mini).

If timer control is active, the status message will be like

this:

Example 1: “Relay 02Hrs” (relay is on, with 2 hours left)

Example 2: “Relay 04Min” (relay is on, with 4 minutes left)

followed by “Sikom GSM MiniV 1.0 Telit” (software version

of GSM Mini).

Cfor Changing the personal access Code

Change the current personal access code to a

new 4-digit value.

E.g.: “1234 C9898” changes code from 1234 to 9898.

NB: Remember the new code!

Tfor Timer control (hourly countdown)

Relay can be turned on for a programmable

duration, between 1 and 99 hours.

Tfollowed by the desired number of hours

(always a 2-digit value: 01 = 1 hour, 05 = 5

hours, etc.)

E.g.: “1234 T01” switches relay on for 1 hour.

E.g.: “1234 T11” switches relay on for 11 hours.

If necessary, use the Rcommand to interrupt before the

end of the countdown.

E.g.: “1234 R0” switches relay off and ends timer

control.

M for timer control by Minutes

Relay can be switched on for a programmable

duration, between 1 and 99 minutes.

Mfollowed by the desired number of minutes

(always a 2-digit value: 05 = 5 minutes, etc.)

E.g.: “1234 M01” switches relay on for 1 minute.

E.g.: “1234 M11” switches relay on for 11 minutes.

If necessary, use the Rcommand to interrupt before the

end of the countdown.

NB! The timer has an error margin of about 1 minute.

Therefore, if timer is set to 1 minute, GSM Mini may switch

off the relay after just a few seconds.

P for Pulse

Switch relay on for a chosen number of seconds

(between 1 and 9) and then off again.

E.g.: “1234 P1” switches relay on for 1 sec, and then

off.

NB! This command will cancel any active timer control.

UFor resetting e.g. a PC

Switch relay off for a chosen number of seconds

(between 1 and 9) and then on again.

E.g.: “1234 U1” switches relay off for 1 sec, and then

on.

NB! This command will cancel any active timer control.

PRECONDITIONS AND ADVICE

For GSM Mini to work satisfactorily, a good

coverage of the relevant GSM network is

needed.

The reliability of SMS messaging depends on the

network operator. An SMS will not be delivered in

case of errors on the GSM network, or similar

issues under the responsibility of the operator.

When the GSM network is heavily loaded, it may

take several minutes (or even hours) for an SMS

message to be delivered. These are conditions

that Sikom AS cannot do anything about. The

dispatch date and time of the message are

nevertheless visible at delivery.

If you opt for a prepay solution, remember that

the credit must be recharged before use.

Information on this procedure comes with the

SIM card. GSM Mini is unable to warn if the

credit gets exhausted, as no SMS message may

then be sent out.

In conformance with legal regulations, network

operators are free to cease certain GSM

services. Sikom AS is not a provider of GSM

services and can therefore not be held liable for

any changes of such services. Notifications

should nevertheless be published long before

such events take place.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

No light from any LED:

•Check your power supply, circuit breakers

and fuses. Try another power socket.

Signal LED flashes green:

•Is the SIM card subscription valid?

•SIM card PIN code must be deactivated.

Signal LED flashes red:

•Wait about 2-3 minutes for GSM Mini to

restart on its own.

•If it’s still blinking: pull GSM Mini out of the

wall socket and wait 1 minute before you

put it back into the wall socket.

•The red blinking can signal a faulty GSM

Mini: contact your dealer.

Unit does not reply to requests for status SMS:

•Is the SIM card subscription valid and paid

for?

IMPORTANT:

Do not overload GSM Mini, and do not locate it

in confined places, which may lead to over-

heating. When overheated, Relay LED will

keep flashing red/green, and the relay will be

switched off. GSM Mini may then only be reset

on site, by hand, as follows:

•Pull GSM Mini out of the wall socket,

and remove any excessive load

connected to it.

•Wait 1 minute.

•Check that the power consumption of

connected appliances (e.g., heaters)

does not exceed the rated power of

GSM Mini (see technical specifications

below).

•Put GSM Mini back into socket.
