Illuminator has made a maximum of 9 SMS send attempts
without receiving a reset command. No more send attempts
are being made.
Transmitted alarm SMS messages have the following format:
Location: SMS text (Send ‘RST Alx’ to reset)
Where:
“Location” is the programmed Illuminator location
“SMS text” is the programmed SMS text for this particular alarm
“x” is this particular alarm number (1 – 8)
So, if we use the examples programmed in the section “Setting up an Illuminator for the first
time” the first alarm SMS will be sent to 0414111111 and will be:
Wingham Field: I am being vandalised (Send ‘RST AL1’ to reset)
The alarm sequence may be reset simply by replying with the received message (no typing
required !!), or by replying with
RST AL1
or by connecting to the Illuminator with a PC and
resetting the alarm as described in “Resetting Alarms”
NOTE: Alarms will be registered while in the Remote Access mode, but SMS messages will
not be sent until Remote Access mode terminates.
