Note

Warning: the alarm siren is very loud!

  • Please carefully follow instructions to avoid hearing damage.

The Alarm requires a dedicated GSM nano-SIM.

  • The SIM must include native support for SMS messaging.

  • The SIM must be “loaded” (funded) - to send & receive SMS messages.

Warning

CDMA or LTE-only SIMs will NOT work with this Alarm.

  • Verizon & Sprint are 2 common CDMA carriers in North America.

The GSM SIM must NOT require pairing for use. In the US, it is common for mobile providers to “pair” the IMEI of your device with their SIM. This is not possible with those SIM’s, as the alarm is incapable of the required outbound pairing phone call.

Tip

In the US, TracFone and T-Mobile can provide compatible GSM SIMs.

To proceed, insert your dedicated SIM card into a compatible phone and remove any PIN protection on the SIM card. Use the supplied SIM card adapters (if needed) for your phone. This step will vary for different phones and their OS. Once any SIM PIN has been disabled, test sending and receiving SMS messages.

6. Connect the battery.

  • Wrong plug = smoke & damage. Pay attention!

  • The small LED on the PCB next to the connector will flash once (quickly).

Warning

WARNING: Connecting the battery into the wrong plug could damage the alarm board.

  • Route the cables (as shown) to avoid the sensors. 

  • Caution: Improperly routed cables could change the sensitivity of the sensors.

7. Test your Alarm.

Are you ready to test your new alarm?

Note

Take necessary precautions to protect your hearing.

  • Use ear protection at all times while testing your alarm.

a) Add your recipients, including your own phone number.

b) Prepare the SMS to send the

“disarm”

“disarm” SMS command to the alarm.

  • We recommend headphones to reduce the possibility of hearing damage and cover siren by your hand!

    • See: Alarm Operation

c) Pull out the

“disabling pin”

safety pin.

d) Drop your alarm from approximately an inch (5 cm) height.

Tip

The Alarm should trip,

  • the siren should honk, and after booting the GSM module

  • you should get an SMS notification about the tripped alarm

. This

  • ,

  • the SMS usually takes 20 seconds

and depends

  • , but

  • may take longer depending on the quantity of Alert Recipients.

e) After you receive the alarm SMS, send the prepared disarm command

which should turn the siren off (and the trigger disabled).Please note: Sending an SMS takes some time (about 5 - 10s

(from step b).

f) Reinstall the safety pin.

Note:

  • Each outgoing SMS takes about 5-10 sec depending on signal strength, GSM network traffic,

etc…. ).

  • etc.

  • The alarm cannot receive AND send SMS messages simultaneously.

  • While sending an SMS it is not possible to receive an SMS

(using a command)

  • until all outgoing alerts are completed

. If you programmed Alert Recipients, then you’ll have to give your alarm enough time to finish this task before sending it further instructions. This should not be a problem when it comes to real usage.

  • , so incoming SMS commands will be delayed.

  • We recommend limiting your Alert Recipients to a minimum.

  • If there aren’t many alerts to send, the alarm will

finish that before your phone will receive your alarm’s SMS.Before we move on to describe installation into a BATM, you should reinstall the “disabling pin” back into the alarm to avoid accidentally tripping it during installation

  • respond more quickly.
