Installation Guide
1. Insert a SIM card to the alarm unit.
Press the yellow button next to the card slot gently with a small screwdriver. The SIM card tray will
come out. Put the SIM card in correct direction (metal contacts face down) and insert into the
system carefully.
Attention! Metal contacts of the SIM card must face down. Make sure it is inserted correctly into the
unit.
**Before inserting SIM card into the alarm unit, use a regular mobile phone to do the following
steps:
- Set the SIM card PIN code (Password) request to off.
- Delete all stored numbers or any message histories
2. Connect the antennas.
Attention! Be careful, do not over-tighten the antennas! Connect the antennas before power up the
system.
3. Connect the (optional) siren to alarm system.
Connect solid black wire to GND port and red (or black-white) wire to SIREN port. If the siren has two
white wires instead, connect smooth surface wire to GND and patterned wire to SIREN port.
4. Connecting wired sensors.
Three inputs are available to connect wired sensors. Inputs are independent, but they share the
same SMS alert message (with zone number indicating which wired zone is triggered at the end of
the message). When the alarm is set off via the wired sensors and send out a SMS, it will show Wired
Activated (J), (J = 1-3).
Sensors can be NO (normally open) or NC (normally close) type.
You can connect more than one sensor at one input by connecting the sensors in parallel for NO or
in series for NC (< 200Ohms).
5. Connecting switched output devices (Home-appliance Control)
The system has two open collector outputs (OUT1 and OUT2), one speaker output (KTLK), and one
internal relay (RELAY) controlled by telephone or SMS text commands.
Internal onboard relay is activated for two minutes when an alarm occurs and it can be controlled
through telephone or SMS text commands.
It can be used for example, to turn on a lamp to scare away the thief.
The open collector outputs can be used directly, if your equipment allows this, it can operate a relay.

Do connect an anti-parallel diode with relay coil for circuit protection.

6. How to distinguish the LED on the main panel?
LED during power on:
When the unit is supplied with power, the Signal LED first turn on static red colour for about 15 20
seconds, this is the time to record any wireless device that is not matched to the system (apply to
new accessories that is bought separately).
After this period, the Signal LED changes to flashing orange colour, searching for the GSM network. If
the system already installed with phone numbers ready for auto-dial when it is being triggered, then
the Signal LED will change to FLASHING GREEN colour when it finds the GSM network, indicating
CORRECT OPERATION. If there is no phone number in the system, then the Signal LED will change to
static green colour, phone number is required for auto-dial.
If the alarm system light turns red and flash quickly, means it is being controlled with long-distance
function.
Signal LED light
Green light is ON: Disarm status
Green light flash slowly: Arm status
Orange light flash slowly: Arm in progress or seaching GSM network during power on
Red light is ON: Matching sensors period during power on
Red light flash slowly: Alarm triggered
Red light flash fast: Receiving call / SMS in remote-distance
7. More explanation on the side connection ports:
The GND1, 2, 3 ports Ground lines;
The SIREN port Siren, audio output, wireless siren transmitter;
The RELAY ports Relay inputs (normally open). It will keep closed for 2 minutes when alarming;
KTLK Loudspeaker output (can use with SX14 loudspeaker);
OUT2, OUT1 Output controls (can use with SXS switch box);
IN3, IN2, and IN1 Inputs for NO/NC wired detectors.
Attention! Backup batteries are built in the main unit. Power is present in the main unit even when
power supply is not plugged in AC socket or during power cut-off. The user will receive a message
Power off when the AC power is off.

Operating the System

1. Use of remote controller:
1. Arming button (closed padlock) press it to arm system. Wired siren will give a short ring.
2. Disarm button (open padlock) press it to disarm system. Wired siren will give two short rings.
3. Panic button (bell) press it and wired or wireless siren will start to ring continuously, alarming
the others.
Using phone call or SMS text message to control the GSM alarm system :
Calling the alarm system: after one ring unit will answer and a beep will be heard. You have to input
the password followed by # key (Default password is 123456). System responds with beep and
now you can send several commands and change some settings. Some of the settings can only be set
by SMS messages (Command 7, 11, 17-23).

Advanced Instructions (Only performed under technical guidance)
1. Resetting the system.
NOTICE! Resetting the system will cause all coded information and messages to be lost.
System will be loaded with basic factory settings. The passwords will be back to the default value
123456.
You must code/register all wireless sensors again after reset.
Reset procedures:
- System must be disarmed and then power off.
- Press and hold the reset button, meanwhile connect a 12Vdc supply to the alarm system.
- Release the reset button, the alarm LED will flash once.
- Wait until the status / signal LED changes to green colour.
Now system is reset and back to factory settings (the password is 123456).

2. How to add new sensors to the alarm system (Registering wireless sensors with control unit)
Sensors and remote controls delivered in kit are already added (registered) to the system. Plug in DC
12V power supply to the alarm system.
If the alarm system needs to add new sensors, such as PIR motion sensors, remote controls, and so
on, you can do so within the 20 seconds after the power is on. After applying 12Vdc to the system,
when signal LED light is in red colour, trigger the sensor you want to match to the system to emit a
signal. If the main unit picks up this signal, the wired siren will give short rings and signal LED will
flash in red. If no sensor is triggered within 20 seconds, the system starts to search for GSM network
and signal LED flashes in orange.
Test all sensors after adding to the system and repeat above procedures if more sensors need to be
added.
Maximum number of wireless zones that can be coded by the system is 16. But you can register
countless wireless sensors by grouping sensors to the same zone (same address code, 8-digit jumper
setting in sensors).
3. How to cancel the lost remote controllers in the alarm system
If a remote sensor is lost, the user needs to clear this remote controller. Press the RESET key on the
back of the alarm system and then plug in power. The status / signal light flashes once meaning the
alarm system reset successfully. After resetting the alarm system, all setup come back to the time
when it came from the factory. The origin password is 123456. Repeat the add sensor instructions
above to match back other sensors and remotes.
4. How to test the alarm system function
When the power is on and turns into the disarm status, users can arm it through remote controller
(arm key) or by sending a SMS (Password#1#1#)
When the alarm system is in arm status, the red light flashes slowly if the wired inputs trigger the
alarm or wireless sensors trigger the alarm.
1. If the SMS alarming function is enabled, the system will send the corresponding SMS based on the
trigger port (wired IN1, wired IN2, wired IN3, wireless sensors). It will then call the stored numbers.
If the SMS alarming function is disabled, it will just call the stored number directly.
2. After the alarm is set off and the system calls you, you do not need to input the password again to
control the system.

Troubleshooting Section
GSM Problem - The light keeps flashing orange meaning the GSM network has not been established.
1. The SIM card circuit side should face downwards, slide the sim card holder into the slot of the
main unit carefully to make sure the card has the contact with the main unit circuit board.
2. The SIM card should use 900/1800/1900 MHz GSM Band. Only use GSM SIM card, not CDMA or
3G.
3. Make sure the SIM card has NO password, NO phone number, or any message history in it.
4. Apply the power with the 12V 2A power adapter we supplied and connect it to the main supply.
5. Use the antenna; this is for the GSM reception.
6. If possible try with another unlocked SIM card (different company), or try the alarm at another
location to check GSM reception.
If the alarm has established a GSM network, then the signal LED should change to green colour.
Sensors / Remotes - The sensor does not trigger the alarm system
1. Check the sensor battery.
2. Re-match the sensor to the system according to adding a new sensor section.
