INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

GSM control device SAFIRE 1287B USAGE AND INSTALLATION

General:

The 

SAFIRE 1287B 

GSM control device

 

can be 

used for controlling

 

safire

-

heaters with a mobile

 

phone.

The control device sends, upon request, a report, which includes the 
battery voltage, the temperature measured by the thermostat and the 
status of the heater control. (Fuel quantity is shown as well if a Genius 
control board is used.)
The device sends a battery voltage alert if the voltage drops below 12 
V, and a temperature alert if the temperature drops below the set alert 
threshold.

Subscription: 

The device works in the GSM network. 

You should choose a subscription with a low subscription fee, including
an advertising SMS prohibition. 
You may also want to consider using different balance and other 
restrictions in case the SIM card falls in the wrong hands.

Installation: 

The installation is affected by the signal strength of 

the operator. If the reception is weak, the antenna may have to be 
placed at a location with a stronger signal. The reception can be 
measured by using a mobile phone. There are no other restrictions on 
the placement of the device, except for the cable length.The device is 
connected to the connector located on the circuit board of the heater. It
can be found by opening the control panel (black screws in the lower 
front corner). At the same time, make sure that the input voltage 
selection connector S1 (located in the centre of the circuit board, 
approx. 5 cm from the connector) is in position 2-3 (in this position the 
software is able to reboot the modem in case of failure situations). Pull 
the cable out of the control panel the same way the other cables exit 
the panel. Attach the cable so that it does not touch the hot parts of the
heater. 

Mounting the controller:

 The casing of the device has to be 

opened for installation. Remove the locking screw of the cover at the 
top. Figure 1 

There are holes in the bottom of the casing for 

mounting screws. Figure 2. Ensure that the connection cable plug is 
connected all the way to the connector on the circuit board.

SIM card:

The PIN code must be disabled before the SIM card is

installed: Insert the SIM card in a mobile phone. Navigate to: Settings -
Security - Enable/disable PIN code.
The card is inserted in the card reader, figure 3.
The SIM card holder lock is opened by pulling it
downwards, and locked by pressing it upwards. When the SIM
card is installed and the power is connected,
(heater in AUTO position) the red indicator in the 
right corner starts flashing in approx. 1 s intervals,
until the device has connected to the base station. After this the 
flashing interval is approx. 3 seconds. The indicator is also visible from 
the window on the casing after the cover has been replaced.
The green indicator in the lower right corner starts blinking in approx. 
1.5 second intervals after the start-up phase. The red indicator in the 
lower corner blinks when data are transferred between the heater and 
the modem.
Replace the cover after checking the functionality, and ensure that the 
cover is properly placed so that the pins in the lower corners lock the 
lower part of the cover as you tighten the screw (figure 1).
