AutoSat GPS - GPRS video instruction manual
ENGLISH
After having turned the key switch to “ON” the AutoSat will automatically go into start-up mode
and the following will take place:
1) The service relay will change state. The wire number 9 on Fig. 3 of Page 14 will go to
ground for about 2 seconds.
Phase 1. Start-up of the digital camera installed
2) During this phase, the red indicator LED on Fig. 1 of Page 3 will flash rapidly for 3 times.
After which the green LED in Fig. 1 will flash based on how many cameras are installed.
Example: If 2 cameras are installed, the red LED will flash 3 times, green twice.
3) After about 4 seconds, both the red and green LED light up together for about 5 seconds.
This is an indication that the system is ready to be programmed through a P.C. (see section
which explains P.C. programming). If P.C. programming does not start within 5 sec., the 2
LEDs will go OFF and the unit will be ready for the next phase.
Phase 2. GPRS modem start-up
4) The modem registers the SIM card with the local GSM provider. This will be confirmed by 3
flashes of the green LED.
If registration of the SIM card is not successful, the red LED will start flashing.
The AutoSat will automatically repeat this procedure until GSM field is found and the SIM
card is successfully registered with the local GSM provider.
Phase 3. Normal function mode
The AutoSat is designed to function in two different modes:
Active mode
The system controls the alarm inputs and in case of a trigger, an alarm
procedure will take place as indicated in paragraph 4.0. on Page 12. In this mode the
AutoSat will reply to a request form a remote source by means of SMS messages as
shown on paragraph 3.0 of Page 5. In this phase, the green LED lit will indicate that the
rechargeable battery is being charged and the red LED will flash every 14 seconds.
Stand-by mode
In this mode the AutoSat does not control the alarm inputs. Every 30
seconds, however, it controls the arrival of SMS remote control commands. In this mode
the AutoSat may easily control any request from remote source. The messages receive
may be seen in paragraph 3.0 of Page 5. This does not include "!DELG" commands found
in (paragraph 3.2.) and "!LGPS! found in (paragraph 3.3.).
The command "!POSI" will allow you to see the last position of the GPS before entering
stand-by mode. Both LEDs will be OFF.
Going from active to stand-by mode
After the start-up procedure, the AutoSat will
automatically present itself in the active mode. To go into the stand-by mode, it is
necessary to put to ground the no. 2 wire (see Fig. 3 on Page 14); this means connecting
wire 1 and wire 2 together. To confirm that this operation has taken place, the 2 signalling
LEDs will flash together twice.
Going from stand-by to active mode
To return to active mode you must disconnect
from ground the no. 2 terminal (see Fig. 3 on Page 14); this means disconnect the wire
no. 1 and no. 2. To confirm that this operation has taken place, the red LED will light for a
prolonged period followed by one green LED flash.

5.0. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MASTER TEL. NUMBER
(this is the first of the numbers memorized)
The transmission of an e-mail may not be successful due to configuration error or because of
weak GPRS signal. Below, you will see the SMS messages that the AutoSat will send to the
requesting telephone number (in case of a remote request) or to all numbers memorized (in
case of an alarm trigger), if for some reason it is unable to transmit the e-mail.
●
"
e-mail failure: weak GPRS signal
."
This SMS message will be sent only after attempting for 60 seconds to send an e-mail and
the GPRS signal is too weak.
●
"
e-mail failure:error with server;check SIM card parameters and e-mail addresses
."
This message will be sent if the SMTP server does not accept one of the memorized e-mail
addresses. You must check the "!RPAR" or "!MEMO" command and make the necessary
corrections to ("!PARA" or "!MAIL").
●
"
e-mail failure: connection interruption during transmission
."
This situation may take place if during transmission there is a weak signal or some GPRS
server problem.
●
"
e-mail failure:connection not recognized; check SIM card parameters
."
If this takes place, the AutoSat is unable to get access from the server to internet. This may
be caused by an error made during the setting of "!PARA" and/or "!APSM" command.
Check and make the necessary corrections.
The telephone number memorized in the first position has exclusive functions for remote
control of the AutoSat. These functions are listed below:
■
By sending a ring to the AutoSat (system in active mode), a reply will be received by the
number calling, giving an SMS message, with information on the status of the installation.
■
Only the Master number will receive all SMS messages containing commands which can
not recognize.
Example: If the AutoSat receives a message from the number 33312345678 with a not
valid command ( for example "
xxxyyyzzz
"), the Master number will receive the
following
text:
MessExt from 33312345678:xxxyyyzzz
■
The Master number will receive power failure message. Example:
"Attention! Main power failure.";
■
The Master number receives camera failure. Example:
"Attention! Camera 1 failure.";
■
In the case of forced shut down of the system due to total lack of power (battery back-up
and main power source), the Master number will receive SMS shown below:
"Attention! Low battery! System will be shut down.";
