GC-61 GSM communicator 1 / 1 MHZ51105

The GC-61 GSM communicator

Installation manual

The GC-61 communicator is designed for communication with an

alarm receiving centre via a GSM network. The communicator receives

data from a control panel via a simulated telephone line. Report codes

are transmitted from a control panel to the GC-61 in Contact ID format.

A SIM card determines the GSM network used. This manual is valid for

version HZ61008.

The GSM module, when installed in the alarm control panel, enables:

• Data transfer to one or two Alarm Receiving Centres (ARC)

• Remote control and programming of the communicator via SMS

instruction messages from a mobile phone or from Jablotron’s SMS

website

• Programming of the communicator via Jablotron’s website

www.GSMlink.cz

• Phone calls using a telephone set attached to the communicator

(via the GSM network)

• An SMS terminal can be used for the easy and convenient

receiving and sending of SMS messages

1. Installation

The communicator can be installed into an alarm control panel or into

a metallic box with a TAMPER switch.

a) Disconnect the control panel’s power supply (both AC and

backup battery). If the control panel has been previously used

before this installation, enter programming mode before

disconnecting the power supply.

b) We recommend you to disable the SIM card PIN code protection

before you insert it into the dialler. Use a mobile phone to perform

this task (if you have a NOKIA phone, select: Menu, Settings,

Security settings, PIN code request, Off). If you insist on using a

PIN, enter PIN 1234.

c) Open the SIM card holder (by sliding it in the direction shown in

the figure 1 below and insert the SIM card into the holder and

close it by sliding it back.

d) Attach the communicator into the control panel case or metallic box

e) Connect the GSM antenna (never switch the power supply on

without a proper antenna)

f) Connect a telephone set to the PHONE connector (or to the

PHONE terminals) together with the SMS terminal if desired. Only

one telephone set can be attached to the dialler. The PHONE

output of the dialler should never be connected to any other

telephone network.

g) The AUX output is switched on if the GSM network is not available

for 15 minutes. AUX can be used as an alarm terminal. (normally

open dry contact, max. 100mA / 60V) – see the figure 1

h) It is possible to connect an external device (tamper, alarm output

etc.) to the INP input. When activated (by disconnection from

GND), then an activation event will be sent to the ARC (in CID

protocol “1”) and a deactivation event will be sent after

reconnecting INP to the GND.

i) Connect the control panel’s power supply. The LED will start

flashing once every 2 seconds when it has successfully registered

to the GSM network (within 1 minute).

If the LED starts flashing quickly, the module was not able to connect

to the GSM network. In this case, switch off the control panel power.

Remove the SIM card and insert it into a mobile phone to confirm

whether it is possible to connect to the network at this location. You

can also select a desired network manually if this option is available.

Ensure that the SIM card does not request a PIN code (or the PIN

code is set to 1234) Once the SIM card works in the mobile phone,

insert it back into the GSM dialler and repeat step i). If the GSM signal

is weak in this area, change the location of the GSM antenna before

you try to re-establish the connection. The level of GSM signal can be

checked by the SMS command “DINFO”.

j) After connection to the GSM network you can call directly from the

attached telephone.

k) Set all the parameters for Alarm Receiving Centre communication.

l) Programming of the GSM dialler is possible by entering

programming sequences via a mobile phone or an attached SMS

terminal. The most convenient programming method however is via

the www.GSMlink.cz

website.

2. Alarm Receiving Centre communication

setting:

The dialler can report events to two different Alarm Receiving

Centres (ARCs). Each ARC has its own setting sequences that differ in

parameter p (p=1 for ARC1 and p=2 for ARC2). Primary and backup

telephone or IP numbers can be set for each ARC. The dialler uses

Ademco Contact ID format and it is also equipped for the future use of

GPRS data transfers. The product is ready to report events to an ARC

based on either landline or GSM data transfer.

The GC-61 re-sends original report codes – the content is not modified

except the Account ID. The communicator forwards original CID

protocol report codes with separator constants 18 and 98 to the ARC

(the constants are converted to 18 during forwarding). Otherwise, their

contents are not altered except for the installation number, which is set

according to communicator settings. The time of a sent event is

generated by the GC-61. The system time is set when the first SMS is

received by GC-61.

Every SMS command must begin with a service access code.

Several setting sequences can be sent within a single SMS.

Sequences must be separated by a comma or space.

2.1. Digital dialler setting

The digital dialler must be set to:

format : Contact ID

ARC telephone number (DTMF): 002

2.2. GPRS setting

GPRS data communication can be used for transmitting events to an

ARC or for connection to the web page www.gsmlink.cz

(see section

3). GPRS must be activated on the SIM card. It is also necessary to

set the name and APN in the communicator (for detailed information

ask your GSM provider).

GPRS xxx,yyy,zzz,

where:

xxx is the APN

yyy is a the user name (when not used, insert a space)

zzz is a password (when not used, insert a space)

Example: If the name and password are not required and the APN is

“internet”, then the sequence is: 0000 GPRS internet, , ,

2.3. Setting the service remote access code

PG0 xxxxxxxx

Where:

xxxxxxxx is a numerical code of 1 to 8 figures

Default setting: 0000 (4 zeros)

2.4. Entering ARC phone numbers (IP addresses)

Primary and back up telephone numbers can be entered for each

ARC:

Primary number:

PG1p xx....x

Back up number: PG2p xx....x

where:
