GSM/GPRS module
A GSM/GPRS interface module can be connected to the control panel to allow an
alternative communication path to the PSTN telephone line.
Installation Instructions
CAUTION: Install the control panel with the GSM/GPRS module at least 1.5 m
from any wireless peripheral device to avoid interference generated by
the GSM. Do not install the module in the immediate proximity of a
sound source (loudspeaker, TV set, Hi-fi chain etc.)
1.
Disconnect the battery and mains power from the control panel.
2.
Plug one end of the connecting cable (A) into the socket on the underside of the

SIM cards
Any valid GSM SIM card can be used. We recommend a contract type for systems with
alarm signalling to avoid a situation where credit may run out, resulting in a loss of
signalling capability. Use a data enabled SIM card if you intend to use the GSM Channel for
remote servicing. Most service providers can supply this service on contract SIMs and will
issue a separate data number. Use this data number for remote servicing when dialling into
the panel.
