6. G-SWITCH-22 GSM Module identification

The 

G-SWITCH-22

 GSM module allows up to 300 individual users to 

activate a maximum of two outputs on the module using their mobile 
phones. These outputs can be used to open a gate, activate an alarm 
system, turn on a borehole pump , etc. Activation can be either via a 
missed call (no charge), or a pre-specified text message (SMS). 
In addition, users can also be notified by SMS, of the activation of either 
of two inputs on the module, in the event of an alarm activation, a power 
failure , etc. An optional online interface allows for easy programming of 
the module.
    May require additional external switchgear

1. Introduction

The 

G-SWITCH-22

 GSM module uses the GSM mobile phone 

network to enable remote control and communication between itself 
and up to 300 users via their mobile phones. A valid, and activated 
SIM card is required in order to use the module on the GSM network. 

4. General description 

When programming the 

, each user’s phone number can 

be set to:

&

Activate a specified output/s with a missed call;

&

Activate either output via a unique, user defined SMS;

&

Be notified by a unique, user defined SMS of either input being 
activated

G-SWITCH-22

&

Programming of the module is password protected

&

All users calling or sending an SMS to the module need to 
ensure that their Caller Line Identification is activated on their 
phone to ensure that the module recognises the user’s 
learned-in phone number

&

The module requires a power supply of 10-30V DC, capable of 
delivering 500mA peak

&

Both outputs are potential-free, and rated to 30V DC @ 1A 

&

Both normally-open and normally-closed contacts are provided

&

Inputs are activated by switching to negative

The housing of the 

G-SWITCH-22

 is weatherproof allowing it to be 

mounted externally in order to pick up the maximum GSM network signal. 
However, the unit can be mounted inside the housing of the device that it 
is operating, such as the gate motor if the GSM network signal is adequate. 
(refer  to Section 11 – GSM network signal detection) The following section 
describes the procedure for mounting the unit to either an internal or 
external wall. If mounting the 

G-SWITCH-22

 externally, give consideration 

to its location as it should not be within reach of unauthorised persons.

It is strongly advised that a pre-paid SIM card (with limited airtime) is used, 
and that it is also password protected. These measures will give you  peace 
of mind as they will ensure that your SIM card will have little or no value 
should it ever get stolen. 

Record the IMEI of your 

G-SWITCH-22

 in the blocks provided in Section 6.

In the event that the 

G-SWITCH-22

 is stolen, you can use the IMEI 

number to blacklist the 

G-SWITCH-22.

10.2.  Raise the SIM card 

housing.

10.3.  Insert the activated SIM 

card and ensure that the 
SIM card is correctly 
oriented. Align the 
cropped corner to be in 
the correct position as 
per the diagram on the 
circuit board.

10.4.  Once the SIM card is 

inserted correctly in the 
SIM card housing, lower 
the housing onto the 
circuit board. Then slide 
the SIM card housing 
locking mechanism down 
to ensure that the SIM 
card housing is securely 
locked in place.

10A. Replace cover 

10.5.  Hook the top of the 

edge of the cover onto 
the top of the unit.

10.6.

Lower the cover and 
press securely into 
position.

11. GSM network signal detection

When powered up, the 

G-SWITCH-22

 signal strength 

indicator LEDs will light up 
indicating the GSM network 
signal strength. 
The GSM signal strength can be 
determined based upon the 
combination of the three LEDs 
that illuminate:

The GSM signal strength may be enhanced by repositioning the 
antenna. Ideally the antenna should be mounted externally, and away 
from any sensitive electrical components.

The rear side of the 
antenna has a double-
sided tape backing, which 
may be used to affix the 
antenna to a desirable 
location. Please ensure 
that the surface to which 
you affix the antenna is 
smooth, clean and dry, to 
ensure reliable adhesion

The signal strength can be queried by sending the “request 
signal strength” command p.xxxx.

CO

.SS to the module. The 

querying phone will receive a reply SMS with a value 5 
(strongest) to 1 (weakest) indicating signal strength

10.1.  Slide the SIM card 

housing’s locking 
mechanism up to release 
the housing.

Ensure that a SIM card that 
goes into the module for 
the first time is not PIN 
protected
