The JA-62GSM communicator for GSM
The JA-62GSM communicator for GSM
1 / 11
MLD52902
The communicator is a component of the Jablotron JA-63K(R) Profi
system. It has been designed for communication via a GSM network. It is
installed directly within the control panel housing and it allows the following:
−
event reporting by SMS (for up to 8 telephone numbers)
−
event reporting by phone call with voice message warnings (it is possible
to record up to 7 messages for various events)
−
remote control and programming by phone (by calling and using the
voice navigation or by SMS instructions)
−
remote control of the system (or appliances in the house)
−
data transmission to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) - up to 2 ARCs
−
remote programming of the ARC by internet application
−
It is not possible to register the communicator on www.gsmlink.cz
The GSM communicator should be installed by a trained technician with a
valid certificate issued by an authorised distributor.
1. Installation in the control panel
If you purchased the communicator module separately, it should first be
installed in the JA-63 Profi control panel as follows:
a) The control panel
power must be switched o
ff (both mains and
battery)
b) Fit the communicator inside the control panel housing using screws and
connect its cable
to the main board.
c) Attach the adhesive GSM antenna inside the control panel’s plastic
housing (it can be glued in a suitable place) and connect the antenna to
the communicator.
Warning: never switch the control panel power
on if the GSM antenna is not connected to the GSM module as
this will cause serious damage!!!

2. Initial powering up of the communicator
The communicator is installed in the control panel and its GSM antenna is
connected, then:
1.
Have a suitable SIM card ready
. It should be activated (see if it works
in a mobile phone first). The SIM card should have the following services
actived: SMS, data (GPRS), voice and CLIP (caller identification). If it
requires a PIN code when switching the phone on,
then disable the PIN
code request upon the first use of the phone
); e.g. Nokia: Menu /
Settings / Security settings / PIN code request / Off, if the SIM card
requires the PIN code enter it, see 6.17. The communicator can work
with a prepaid card, but we recommend using a tariff card for more
reliable functioning.
2.
Insert the SIM card
into the communicator (to open the card holder
push its frame up a little).
3. Switch on the control panel power (both mains and battery). The
communicator’s red LED should be lit = registering to the GSM network;
it should go off within a minute = registration successful.
4. If the red LED starts flashing after a while, switch off the control panel
power, put the SIM card into a mobile phone and check that it registers to
the network in the place where the control panel is installed without any
PIN code requests.
5.
Close the control panel cover
, the alarm system should be in Service
mode - if it is not, enter F0 Service code (Factory default setting: 6060)
with the alarm system unset (disarmed).
6. Key in
99101
- to set the
texts
and voice messages of the communicator
to the English language.
7. Enter 888 to measure the GSM signal strength (a number in the range
from 0 to 9 should be displayed). It should be
at least 3
to ensure reliable
functioning. If the signal is weak, change the location of the control panel
or try a SIM card from another GSM provider (it is not recommended to
use either a high-gain or directional GSM antenna – see 6.2 GSM signal
strength measuring).
8. If the GSM signal strength is sufficient, test the communicator functions
(system control via a mobile phone, etc), see the instructions below.
Warning: If installed at a location near a national border where the
signal strength fluctuates, roaming to a foreign network is highly likely.
We therefore recommend blocking the roaming feature in the SIM card
to avoid unnecessarily high communication fees (contact your GSM
provider for details).
3. User functions of the communicator
The following text describes all communicator features. The installer should
show the end user how to operate the functions used in the particular
installation.
3.1. Event reporting to the user’s phone
The communicator reports events in the Profi system by sending a text
SMS and / or calling and transmitting a voice message. Reporting can be set
to up to 8 telephone numbers. The most frequently used report variants are
preset but they can be customized.
Notes:
−
If used, transmissions to the Alarm Receiving Centre have absolute
transmission priority (see 7.4).
−
Calling is usually used to draw the user’s attention to a detailed report
sent in an SMS. If reporting by SMS is enabled, the communicator first
sends all SMS messages before it starts dialling the set numbers.
−
Message playing can be terminated by pressing # on the telephone
keypad. The keypad then switches into keypad simulation mode and the
messages are not further transmitted to other numbers.
3.2. Temporarily authorizing a phone as a system keypad
It is possible to operate the system remotely by temporarily authorizing a
phone keypad as follows:
a) dial the communicator’s SIM card number
b) after 15 seconds of ringing, the system will answer and ask for a code.
c) enter a valid control panel access code on the telephone keypad – the
code assigned to the telephone (see chapter 6.6), or use a service code
for remote access (default 0000)
d) once the code has been entered, the system tells you the current status
and turns on the Keypad simulation mode
e) connection is terminated by hanging up the call, if nothing is entered
within a minute, the phone call will end automatically anyway
f) the maximum allowed phone call length is 30 minutes
Notes:
−
a land line phone can also be used to control the system remotely in the
same way, a condition is that the phone must use tone dialling (DTMF)
−
do not enter sequences on the phone too fast
, each key signal needs
a certain time to be sent (it depends on the particular phone and the
quality of the GSM connection
−
Service code for remote access default is set to 0000
3.3. SMS instructions to control the system remotely
All incoming SMSes are checked by the communicator and if there are any
instructions to the system, they will be performed. Each instruction message
must have the following format:
Instruction_code
(i.e. valid code space instruction)
SET 1234
Valid code = any valid code in the system (e.g. 1234), saved in the control
panel.
The factory-default instruction texts (editable – see TXT command).
