Installation
Detach the front of the case by gently lifting the side clips. Unclip the top of the circuit board to
remove from the case back. Mount the case back using suitable screws. Be sure the screw head will
not contact the PCB when it is re-installed. The unit must be mounted indoors or in a suitable
enclosure to protect it from moisture. It is NOT water proof and damage due to moisture is not
covered by the warranty.
The SMS Gateway requires a micro SIM card. Activate it according to the
instructions, either via the internet or by phone, and make sure it has credit
available. The SIM card should first be tested in a phone to ensure it can
send and receive text messages.
Insert the SIM card into the unit, contact side down with the notched corner
to the lower right. Clip the circuit board into the case back.
Connect the antenna. Mount the antenna away from high voltage and mains power cables, vertically
if possible. If the unit is housed in a metal enclosure, the antenna should be mounted outside the
enclosure and the enclosure earthed.
Connect 12V plus and minus to an external power supply. Connect Data and Ground wires from the
unit to a JVA energiser. Power on the unit first, then the energiser(s).
Confirm the KPB and GSM lights are flashing, and ERROR light is not flashing. Clip the case front back
on. Your JVA SMS Gateway is ready to use.
Energiser Configuration
If the SMS Gateway is being used with a stand-alone energiser, the energiser may need to be
reconfigured to operate correctly. If the energiser has firmware earlier than 8v20, it must be
programmed to ID 1. This will require the use of a keypad. Refer to the energiser manual for more
information.
