THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING IDS TO PROTECT YOU
Thank you for purchasing an IDS X-SMS module. IDS X-SMS offers
powerful, versatile and highly configurable reporting and control
capabilities, which will keep you, informed and in control of your X-Series
alarm system when away from your premises.

grade intrusion product designed to protect lives and property, and can
only be installed and maintained by a professional IDS-certified installer.
The Installer Manual included in this box does not cover all aspects of
installation; these are available only to installers via our sales offices.

TAKE FULL REMOTE CONTROL OF YOUR X-SERIES ALARM PANEL
Arm / Disarm
The X-Series panel’s 8 partitions may be armed in multiple profiles.
Arming requires a valid user code. These are programmed by your
installer.
Valid command examples:
NOTE: Stay profiles can be changed by sending a new stay arm command
If a partition is away armed and a stay arm command is sent the
message will be rejected. Away armed partitions must be disarmed
before being stay armed.
Bypass / un-bypass zones
The “Bypass” command will be sent by you to bypass specific zones, and
vice versa for “unbypass”. You must specify which zones to bypass in the
data field. Zones may be referred to by their number or, where
applicable, by their name.
Valid command examples:
Home automation via PGM’s
Programmable outputs (PGM’s) on your X-Series alarm panel may be
used to control electrical devices such as lights, gate and garage doors
motors, pumps, geysers, irrigation systems etc. The PGM command
controls the programmable outputs on the X- Series alarm panel.
Note: Installations controlling electrical devices often requires a certified
electrician. PGM outputs can only supply 80mA of current.
PGM’s can be triggered in several ways as below – consult your installer
for further support.
On –Turns the PGM on by putting 12V DC onto the output
Off –Turns the PGM off by removing the 12V DC
PulseH –Puts 12V DC onto the output for 2 seconds
PulseL –Removes 12V DC from the output for 2 seconds
