Fixing the central unit/phone dialer
■

■
We recommend that you choose a GSM operator that covers the dwelling containing
the installation.
Precautions for use
The alarm unit equipped with its GSM module could interfere with the operation of medical devices (hearing aids, pacemakers, etc.).
For more information, consult your doctor.
Install the central unit/phone dialer that is to hold the GSM module:
■
inside the dwelling only, in a zone protected by a movement detector,
■
in a place with full GSM signal
(check this with a mobile phone, and ideally take out a contract with the same operator),
■
in the centre of the dwelling, for example on the ground floor if the house has a basement and one upper storey,
■
near a 230 V-50 Hz mains socket,
■
near a computer and a broadband router/modem if you wish to make settings or manage your system by computer or if you
want to use an IP camera for intrusion confirmation,
■
so that the cables (mains, telephone line, Ethernet, GSM antenna) come out in the direction you want them to (through the
top or bottom).
Do not install the central unit/phone dialer that is to hold the GSM module:
■
on a metal partition
■
in a damp room
■
near television and radio sets, as this could cause interference
■
near a source of gas, fuel or chemicals.
Recommendations relating to GSM subscription
The GSM module placed inside the alarm unit is used to send alarm and alert messages by SMS using the dual band 900-1,800
MHz GSM networks.
Before installing the GSM module, we recommend that you take out a subscription with a mobile telephony operator (Orange, SFR,
Bouygues, etc.) of your choosing.
It is essential that this is a
voice
subscription (i.e. voice+SMS or SMS only), and not a data subscription (used to transfer data and
not voice calls).
We do not recommend the use of pre-paid cards or restricted packages
on the central unit/GSM dialer.
Once the credit has
run out, if more credit is not added in time, the central unit/GSM dialer will not be able to send a message.
A personal code, known as a
PIN
(Personal Identification Number) linked to the SIM (Subscriber Identification Module) card, is issued
by the mobile telephony operator when the line is opened on the contract, and is used to access the network.
During programming, if the PIN is entered incorrectly three times, the SIM card on the central unit/GSM dialer is locked. The SIM card
can be unlocked using a
PUK
(Personal Unlocking Key), supplied by the operator as necessary, on a mobile phone (see telephone
manual).
