X-SMS V2 Quick User Guide
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING IDS TO PROTECT YOU
Thank you for purchasing an IDS X-SMS V2 module. IDS X-SMS V2 offers powerful,
versatile and highly configurable reporting and control capabilities, which will keep
you, informed and in control of your X-Series alarm system when away from your
premises.
NOTE: The X-SMS V2 module works only with IDS X-Series panels above a certain
version. Your X-Series alarm panel is a sophisticated professional-grade intrusion
product designed to protect lives and property, and can only be installed and
maintained by a professional IDS-certified installer. The Installer Manual included in
this box does not cover all aspects of installation; these are available only to
installers via our sales offices.
NOTE: Please read the entire Quick User Guide before attempting to use the X-SMS
V2 device!
NOTE: Throughout this manual, the default user code 1234 is used. Commands will
only be accepted by the alarm panel if preceded by a valid user code, programmed
into the alarm panel by your installer.

Arm / Disarm
The X-Series panel’s 8 partitions may be armed in multiple profiles. Arming requires
a valid user code. These are programmed by your installer.

armed.
Bypass / un-bypass zones
The “Bypass” command will be sent by you to bypass specific zones, and vice versa

Home automation via PGM’s
Programmable outputs (PGM’s) on your X-Series alarm panel may be used to control
electrical devices such as lights, gate and garage door motors, pumps, geysers,
irrigation systems etc. The PGM command controls the programmable outputs
Note: Installations controlling electrical devices often requires a certified electrician.
PGM outputs can only supply 80mA of current.
PGM’s can be triggered in several ways as below – consult your installer for further
support.

On – Turns the PGM on by putting 12V DC onto the output

Off – Turns the PGM off by removing the 12V DC

PulseH – Puts 12V DC onto the output for 2 seconds

PulseL – Removes 12V DC from the output for 2 seconds

The X-Series alarm system does not use site, partition or PGM names, these names
cannot be added via the keypad.

If a zone is named via SMS it will over write the zone name on the system

If a space is inserted before or after the name then the space becomes part of the
zone name.

Names are case sensitive
