GSM Module G10C

Module G10C is designed for transmitting security system messages to a monitoring station through a GSM connection.

Module Features:

• Messages to the monitoring station can be transmitted in one of the following modes: GPRS connection, SMS messages, or DTMF tones.
• Messages can be sent through a primary communication channel and if it fails, through a backup channel.
• Even if GPRS connection with two servers is lost, information can be sent via SMS messages.
• Sent messages correspond with Contact ID protocol codes.
• The module can send SMS messages to up to 4 user mobile phones.
• Input status can be controlled constantly or when control is activated.
• Output OUT1 status can be controlled remotely.
• Operating parameters and firmware version can be updated remotely.
• Operating parameters are set with the program G10config.

Description of Module Operation

Module G10C is connected to security control panel PGM outputs and can be set to operate in one of two modes:

a) Constant Input Control Mode (24 h): After the security control panel changes the state of its PGM output, the module input circuit is also disturbed. The module G10C immediately sends a report about this event to the monitoring station. When the security control panel restores its PGM output status, the status of the module input external circuit is also restored, and the module sends a report about this event. A general wiring diagram is given in Fig. 1.

b) Activated Input Control Mode (Control Panel): When this mode is selected, input MCI operates as an input status controller. While input MCI is connected to COM, disturbances in the circuits of inputs IN1...IN4 are allowed, and reports about them are not created. After the circuit of input MCI is broken, the module sends a report informing that input status is controlled and disturbances in the circuits of inputs IN1...IN4 are no longer allowed. When input status is controlled by input MCI and circuits of inputs IN1...IN4 are disturbed, the module sends reports about these disturbances/restorations.

Module G10C has five inputs. In 24-hour mode, module MCI input is the fifth NC type input. In Control Panel mode, it acts as a controller for the other four inputs.

The module can send messages about the disturbances/normalizations of inputs IN1...IN4 and MCI external circuits to the monitoring station through a specified connection channel. If message transmission through this channel fails, the module may send them through a backup channel.

When two server IP addresses are set and the module loses connection with both, it can send information to the monitoring station via SMS messages.

The module can periodically send PING signals for connection control.

Reports can be sent via SMS messages to up to four mobile phones. A user-friendly SMS message text can be assigned for every module input event.

Module output OUT1 status will change when connection with the monitoring station server is lost/restored, or when the module receives an SMS message changing its output status.

Module Installation Steps

1. Set the operating parameters for the module. Follow recommendations in the chapter "Setting operating parameters".
2. Insert an active SIM card. Contact a GSM service provider regarding the SIM card. It is not recommended to use pay-as-you-go (prepaid) SIM cards.
3. Fasten the module to the security control panel metal casing by using either M3x6 screws or adhesive fastening tape. The location and dimensions for drilling holes for the module and antenna are provided (diagram described here).
4. Screw the GSM antenna on.
5. Connect the module to the security control panel according to the wiring diagrams provided.
6. Turn on the system power supply.
7. Check GSM signal strength according to light indication. Sufficient GSM signal strength is indicated by 5 yellow flashes of the "Network" indicator. If signal strength is insufficient, use another antenna type.
8. Check if the module sends messages according to its configuration. The message must be sent and received at the specified IP address. If messages are sent to a mobile phone, verify that all SMS messages are received.

Setting Operating Parameters

Module G10C operating parameters are set using the computer program G10config, available at www.trikdis.lt.

1. Connect the module G10C to a computer using a USB cable. USB drivers must be installed. If this is the first connection, Windows OS will prompt for driver installation. Download the USB driver file (USB_COM.inf) from www.trikdis.lt. Follow the wizard instructions to complete the installation.
2. Start the program G10config.
