SECTION 3 - INSTALLATION
3.1 Cellular Communications
All cellular telephones, including the GSM 1000, must ‘register’ with the cellular network. ‘Registration’ is
simply a handshake between the Mobile services Switching Centre and the GSM 1000. During handshake
the information stored in the SIM card is transmitted to the GSM cell-site and the cell-site –upon verification
of data- will send an authorisation back to the GSM 1000. It is therefore very important that a PIN number
be programmed into the GSM 1000
before
attempting to connect to the network. Registration is done upon
power up of the GSM 1000 and whenever requested by the network. If the GSM 1000 does not register the
network will not complete a call.
3.1.1 Arranging for Cellular Service
In order for the GSM 1000 to communicate via the cellular telephone network, an account must be set up
with a cellular network operator. The ‘account’ is simply a matter of establishing the billing information for
the cellular service. In return, the cellular carrier will provide you with a SIM card with PIN-number and a
telephone number for your GSM 1000. Cellular service may vary in price and coverage. Check with your
GSM service provider for area coverage maps and service charges.
3.1.2 Inserting SIM Card
When you have obtained a SIM card from your GSM service provider,
insert it into the SIM Card socket (SIM Lock) on the GSM 1000 module.
Simply slide the cover to the right and pull open. Then insert your card
and close the lid.
3.2 Mounting Module in Cabinet
The metal bracket that accommodates the GSM 1000 is mounted in the upper right hand corner of the
control panel cabinet with the antenna going through the knock out. The GSM 1000 mounting bracket
attaches to the panel cabinet through the use of clips and screws. Please note, however, that the clips (metal
teeth) make it purposely difficult to remove the module once it is installed. Because of the nature of the
installation, it may be difficult to access the connection terminals of the control panel. It is therefore
recommended that wiring connections be made to the control panel before the module is installed.
There may be situations where the cabinet you are using does not accommodate the antenna mount
location properly. In such cases, you may order an optional cabinet, which will fit the GSM 1000 module
properly. You may also remove the antenna mast from the antenna bracket of the GSM 1000 module, and
reattach it through another hole in the cabinet you are using. Please ensure that antenna mast does not
contact the cabinet.
Note:
If it is not possible to install the antenna with the antenna mast fastened to the antenna bracket of the
GSM 1000 module (i.e. relocating to another knock out), the antenna tamper switch cannot be used
effectively.
The GSM 1000 should not be located near sources of interference. These sources include EMI
(Electromagnetic Interference) generated by television or heavy electric motors, such as those found in
heating or air conditioning units.
