X-SMS Quick User Guide
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING IDS TO PROTECT YOU
Thank you for purchasing an IDS X-SMS module. IDS X-SMS 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 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.
Should you require assistance in finding an installer, please visit

NOTE:
Please read the entire Quick User Guide before attempting to use
the X-SMS 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.

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 doors
motors, pumps, geysers, irrigation systems etc. The PGM command
controls the programmable outputs on the X- Series alarm panel.
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
