DKG-109 User Manual V-27
(23.08.2013)
- 19 -
The GSM SMS sending is activated by setting the
SMS Enable
program parameter to
1
.
When a fault condition occurs, the unit will compose an SMS message and will send it to up to 6
phone numbers.
The unit is also able to send SMS messages in below conditions, without creating a visible alarm
or warning:
Mains Fail, Mains Restored
(enabled via
SMS on Mains Change
program parameter)
Fuel Theft, Fuelling
(enabled by setting the
Fuel Consumption / Hour
parameter to other than 0)
When SMS sending is in progress, an (
SMS
) icon will appear at the upper right corner of the
screen.
The maximum number of alarms transmitted in a SMS message is 4. This limitation is due to the
maximum length of an SMS message which is 160 characters.
A sample GSM SMS message is given below:
DKGxxx <SITE-ID>
STOP :LOW OIL PRESSURE SW.
END OF ALARM LIST
The first line of the message carries information about the unit type and the site identity string.
This line is intended for the identification of the genset sending the SMS message.
Each following line will give one fault information. The message will always be terminated by the
“
END OF ALARM LIST
” string.
When the message is sent, the existing alarms will be masked, causing the audible alarm relay to
release and preventing consecutive GSM SMS messages. Any new upcoming alarm will result in a new
GSM SMS message. The new message will indicate all existing alarms, even masked ones.
The necessary GSM modem cable will be supplied by DATAKOM. This is the same cable as
PSTN (land) modems.
A logic level to RS-232 converter is necessary
in order to connect the unit to modem.
If
SMS Enable
or
MODBUS Address
parameters are
different from zero, the local PC connection will not work.
