GSM UNIT
GSM Modem for PowerMax+
Installation Instructions
1. INTRODUCTION
The GSM unit enables the PowerMax+ system to operate over
cellular network. GSM unit features are as follows:
A. PowerMax+ fast upload/download capability via the GSM unit.
B. Sending SMS and voice messages to private telephones.
C. Communication with central station (SIA, Contact ID format).
D. Serving as PowerMax+ telephone line backup, as a primary
communication channel, or as the only telephone channel.
E. Sending SMS messages to central station.
F. Two-way audio communication between telephone user and
PowerMax+ user.
G. PowerMax+ remote arming.
H. Remote activation of home appliances.
I. Remote PowerMax+ system monitoring (status, failures).
J. Enables calling the PowerMax+ by a single dialing (it is not
necessary to dial, hang up and then redial).
K. Tamper and line disconnection protection.
The unit includes the following LED indicators (see figure 1):
A. Power LED (red):

The GSM unit includes a GSM cellular modem, backup battery
pack and Tamper protection switch.
The GSM unit's backup battery is charged by the PowerMax+ or
by an AC power supply.
When PowerMax+ telephone line is disconnected, the
PowerMax+ uses the GSM unit instead of the regular telephone
system, according to GSM LINE PURPOSE definition (for details,
refer to the PowerMax+ Installer Guide, section 4.6).
The GSM unit and the PowerMax+ periodically check the
connection between them. When the connection is lost, both
report a Tamper alarm. If either unit is tampered with, the other
unit reports the event.
In case of GSM unit low battery voltage or GSM line failure, the
failure message is reported to the PowerMax+.
The GSM unit must be enrolled in the PowerMax+ system (see
PowerMax+ installer guide, section 4.6 - Defining GSM Parameters).
SIM card (see figure 2) with 3 volt or 5 volt technology should be
inserted into the GSM unit so that the unit can be connected to
the cellular network with a defined telephone number.
