The INSYS GSM 4.3 can react with the dispatch of an alarm message on switch
events using its digital inputs. The INSYS GSM 4.3 uses a single, long pulse or a
sequence of short pulses to trigger the message dispatch. The INSYS GSM 4.3 can
establish a voice connection as an alternative to the single message dispatch via
the single pulse. The number of pulses is used to address up to ten messages per
input and send them to one individual or several recipients. You are able to assign
one individual recipient as well as up to 20 additional recipients to each message
for each input. The alarm events are processed separately for each input. The
maximum length of the alarm text with preceding collective message is 140 char-
acters. The INSYS GSM 4.3 can send alarm messages either as SMS to a GSM de-
vice (mobile phone or another INSYS GSM 4.3), or via a data connection to a mo-
dem. If SMS dispatch is used, the INSYS GSM 4.3 must be configured with the
phone number of an SMS Service Center (refer to the GSM – Service Center Num-
bers section at the end of this manual). For sending a message with a single alarm,
the data connection can either be kept open as long as the alarm input is active
(“long data connection”) or closed immediately after sending the message (“short
data connection”). You can communicate with INSYS GSM 4.3 or the device con-
nected to the serial interface as long as the data connection is open. In case of an
alarm by a “pulsed alarm input”, the data connection will be closed immediately
after the message has been sent.
