Greetings.

Unfortunately the supplied (and downloadable) documentation is not clear regarding programming of the GSM Stand Alone unit.

I need unambiguous instructions to allow both inputs 1 & 2 (when triggered) to report the following to 1 master number:
(text to be sent in inverted commas)

Input 1 = "External violation"
Input 2 = "Internal violation"

Since a given alarm panel might activate it's programmable outputs for a time period exceeding the 6 second period (as indicated by document GSM_standaloneV1.pdf) how does one reprogram the GSM unit to ignore inputs longer than 6 seconds ?

As a whole, the documentation supplied needs more examples included for clarity.

Thank you,
Wizzard Services.

Hi Wizzard, can you confirm that you are using a Version 1 GSM unit? Version 1 is currently unsupported and we would recommend upgrading to the Version 2 software which has many additions and features.

In the version 2 software if an input goes high and then low in less than 6 seconds an "Input Triggered" message is sent. If the input is longer, it will send "Input High" message and then a "Input Low" once the input is restored. The "Low" and "High" messages can be set, however the "Triggered" messages can not.

We have updated the online manuals for the GSM Gate and Standalone to the current ones shipped with the units. Thank-you for the feedback

This reply was very useful in understanding why I kept on getting a Trigered sms each time I armed and disarmed my alarm. I find it actually annoying and wasteful to receive these "triggered" smses. Is there a way to disable this feature?

Hi Johann, we can look at adding that into the software, do you just want to receive messages if the input goes/stays high, and no messages if it input is pulsed?
