DESCRIPTION
A1000 is a simple & easy to use GSM Alarm Device which sends SMS and calls you in case of alarm
events & restorations. Alarm event occurs in case of NO and NC ports changes. Up to 3 numbers can be
registered (1 admin, 2 users). Device is including 1xDigital NO and 1xDigital NC ports. They can be
used with any kind of dry contact output type devices/sensors/switches.
A1000 also operates as Power Failure Detector, if used together with power adaptor. Sends you
POWER FAIL message in case of power adaptor fails and sends you POWER OK message in case of
power restored. Device understands Power Failures and Power Restorations from the adaptor
voltage.
Once battery is low, device sends you LOW BATTERY text message. Battery voltage is checked daily
and text message is sent if it is low. It will repeat this message every week after the first alert, as soon
as batteries are not replaced.
Device sends you STILL ALIVE messages once per week (6~8 days). This message shows that device
is working well (means battery or power is OK, SIM card is OK, no errors). This function can be
disabled / enabled by admin (Factory default is: enabled).
Device also sends you “GSM Signal Strength Level” while making configuration. This will help you to
understand if the location is suitable for installation or not.

A1000 might operate in below power options:
-
A battery used together: In this case all function will work and battery lifetime is up to 4
years.
-
Battery-only use: In this case battery lifetime is 1 year (calculated 1 SMS per day). In this mode
Power Failure and Power Restoration functions will not work.
-
Adaptor-only use: In this case Power failure function will not work.
Note that Reporter devices do not have “voice record” function, so phone calls are used for only ringing
your mobile phone. There is no voice call.
Only a local 900/1800MHz GSM SIM card is required to operate the device. SMS and Call function is
enough for SIM Card. Data or GPRS functions are not required.
Reporter devices are designed to operate in ultra-low power consumption. Further to this feature; device
de-attaches itself from GSM network in standby, for saving battery life. If you try to call or send SMS to
device in standby mode, you will not be able to reach the device. It attaches to the network if an alarm
occurs or if you press Config Button.
