The RED attention LED indicates that the modem is initialising, or something
unexpected is happening with the modem / SIM card account.
Rapid blinking at start-up
– indicates the SIM card requires the PIN number to be
cleared before the controller & SIM can be used.
If the modem can’t register to the cell network at all (also above) – there is
possibly a SIM card service problem
23
, or signal strength issue. Unfortunately you
can’t check the signal quality until after registration is complete, but as soon as
you have any connection – request SHO SIM to receive a signal strength report
in ‘bars’…
The unit MUST be able to connect – at least initially – to the network, so the clock/time-of-day, and
timers can operate. Even when the SIM credit has expired, the controller will operate locally – but
as soon as it tries to ‘send’ a message – the castle will come falling down.
GETTING STARTED
The SIM card must not have PIN number security enabled
If needed, put the SIM in your mobile phone to disable the SIM PIN security code.
Before connecting power or any external devices to ControlMate
Install a SIM card into your controller, connect the 3G antenna.
Apply power (nominally 12V DC), and wait approximately 30 seconds for the green LED to blink
every 1.5 seconds.
Next to the ‘power in’ connector - if the Green *and* Red LEDs stay lit for more than a minute,
check the SIM card is seated correctly.
Correct start-up & wireless connectivity is indicated with the green LED blinking every 1.5 seconds.
IMPORTANT : If the unit can’t connect to the onboard modem or to the cellular network, the
controller will retry & reset every few seconds – in ongoing attempts to reach the network.
Attaching the outboard LED panel (or optional LCD) is not critical at this stage, and will show the I/O
status, not configuration details.
Send the following messages to your controller’s SIM number .
You’ll receive an SMS reply for each command that is sent...
WHEN PROGRAMMING OR OTHERWISE CHANGING THE CONTROLLER SETUP, TAKE
PRECAUTION THAT ANY DEVICES CONNECTED TO THE OUTPUT RELAYS DO NOT
ACTIVATE UNEXPECTEDLY.
Let’s get started
The * asterisk prefix is a back-door override to ignore the caller’s number – allowing you to start
working on an ‘empty’ controller. It’s not needed once your number has been saved.
OPTIONAL STEP 1 – CLEAR ALL CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
23
The SIM card must be set up without a PIN number configured. This can be performed by inserting the SIM
into a mobile phone and removing the SIM PIN security.
