HouseControl E+ Installation Manual
1. INTRODUCTION
This manual describes the installation of HouseControl remote control and alarm system. The
instructions in this manual can be applied to many kinds of houses.
It is important that you plan carefully how you are going to install HouseControl. For example, to achieve
finished look make sure the cables run inside the walls and other structures. This requires that you have
a plan for where you are going to install smoke detectors, motion sensors, and other accessories as you
are building your house.
You can connect up to three temperature sensors, a siren, a magnetic door switch, a moisture sensor, a
smoke detector, a motion sensor, a security keypad, a remote camera and a control panel to the central
unit. You can connect several motion sensors, magnetic door switches, smoke detectors and moisture
sensors to one input. Always connect the sensors according to the separate wiring diagram.
The central unit contains two relay outputs 230VAC/AC (6A and 10A). The 10A relay can be controlled
thermostatically.
2. PREPARATION
You need a GSM subscription and a SIM card from a telecommunications operator for testing and using
HouseControl. You must disable the PIN code request from the SIM card before inserting the card in the
central unit. It is recommended that testing is conducted with the same SIM card that will remain in the
central unit after the installation is complete.
If a camera is installed, you should make sure that MMS messages (messages that contain pictures)
can be sent from the subscription. Some operators require that the service is activated before it can be
used. You can activate MMS by inserting the SIM card in an MMS compatible phone and sending an
activation message to your operator. Please consult your telecommunications operator for more
information. Before inserting the SIM card in HouseControl make sure that you indeed can send MMS
messages with that SIM card by testing it with your mobile phone.
Use an unlisted phone number in your HouseControl so that it is not publicly available. However,
make sure that the HouseControl’s phone number is displayed on the screen of your mobile
phone when it calls you (i.e. HouseControl’s phone number is sent with the call and is not
hidden).
