Notes on Text Messaging behaviour
•
The modem will not send text messages if it is not powered!
e.g. if using the Timer and the Timer is off.
•
GP1 and DL6 logger’s have one relay only, so if you use the relay to trigger text
messaging you will not be able to use it for other control purposes – unless you
wish to receive a text message each time the relay switches.
•
When logging, the logger only checks the condition that controls the relay when a
logging interval arrives.
Normally, this system sends a single text message each time the condition
becomes true. To send the same message repeatedly for as long as the condition
remains true, select the Advanced control relay option and select the Enable
pulsing option in the Control tab.
•
You can’t send different messages for different alarm conditions.
