1. DESCRIPTION
The GSM-VAC2 is a new kind of a mobile voice and SMS dialling system. The phone
memory in the form of a SIM card is used either to store telephone numbers or to program
certain parameters. It is possible to record four different messages and send them to 10
different telephone numbers. The alarm inputs can be normal open (N.O.) and are thus
triggered by a positive (+12V) or a negative pulse (GND); or they can be normal close
(+12V or GND lost). Each alarm input enables us to send a pre-recorded voice message,
an SMS or both.
The GSM-VAC2 has also four outputs giving the user the ability to control a certain system
from distance.
2. PURPOSE and APPLICATION
The GSM-VAC2 mobile unit can provide us with different information on the state of the
alarm mounted on the protected object. It can also transmit other useful information
important for operating applications such as:
• vending machines
• various engines out of the reach of manual operation
• home care or emergency alarm
• car and boat alarm transmitter
• temperature regulation by means of a sensor

HOW TO PROGRAM INPUT STATUS
Alarm and reset input can be triggered in 4 different ways. The status of the input can either be
normally closed (N.C) or normally open (N.O.) with positive (+ 12V) or negative (GND) voltage.
A text message can also be sent when the input returns to the non alarm state. To get return SMS
use IP=4,5 or 6.
IP = 0 – Normal Open – triggered with negative voltage (GND)

IP = 1 – Normal Close – breaking negative or positive voltage loop
IP = 2 – Normal Open – triggered with positive voltage (+ 12VDC)
IP = 3 – Input disable
IP = 4 = IP = 0 + input reset SMS

5.4 HOW TO PROGRAM OUTPUT STATUS
The GSM-VAC2 device has four open collector outputs and each of them can be
programmed through network in a different way: as a bi-stable or mono-stable output. One
of them can be programmed so as to signal certain failure on the main device or to notify
us about the expiring validity of the SIM card.

5.7 GSM-VAC2 SET-UP PARAMERTERS
• RED – repetition of calling sequences. With the number from 1 to 9 we define how
often the sequence is repeated in case the number is busy or not answered. The
default value is set to number “3”.
• CLP – hidden telephone number. This function (“0” value) is used in order to
conceal the telephone number of the device. The default value is set to “1” which
means that the number is displayed.
• RFL – SIM card validity. The period of valid operating time varies with different
GSM network providers. The value can be programmed between 1 – 36, whereas
days represent multiplication of the mentioned value by 10. The default value does
not presume any kind of expiry warning.
Example: If we want to get an expiry warning message after 90 days, we should

enter the number “9”.
• RFT – Temporary validity of the SIM card. This function is pre–defined on the SIM
card memory from the micro controller on the SIM card location “98”. The user can
only change it when the RFL time is not regular (due to power failure or some other
constant operating mode ).
• PTM – A test SMS is sent periodically. The UNIT can send the test message in the
interval ranging from 1hour up to 240 hours.
Example: if the PTM value is set to 12, the numbers linked to “LK5” get a test
message every 12 hours.

5.8 SMS MESSAGES TRANSLATOR
_____________________________________________________________________________
11
The GSM-VAC2 can send a very short SMS message via each alarm input. The default
message is English, but it is possible to formulate the notice in any other language.
Different messages, being no longer than 18 characters, can be defined for each alarm
input. Between words it is necessary to use “_” instead of the “space” character.
Example: “ALARM_ON_INPUT”
5.8.1 SMS MESSAGES PROGRAMMING TABLE

# 5 P K N 4 _ P E R I O D I C _ T E S T
Normally, when we want to store the SMS text, the telephone number needs to be
entered. Since the latter is required only because of the basic design of the phone book
memory, it is not important what kind of a number we enter.
Each text starts with a two–character command: # and number:
#0 – text for SIM card refill – default = refill SIM in days

#1 – text for 1st alarm input – default = alarm on input
#2 – text for 2nd alarm input – default = alarm on input
#3 – text for 3rd alarm input – default = alarm on input
#4 – text for 4th alarm input – default = alarm on input
#5 – text for periodic test – default = periodic test
5. RECORDING AND LISTENING TO VOICE MESSAGE
_____________________________________________________________________________
12
The memory of each alarm input enables us to record our own voice message in the total
length of 10 seconds. The device is namely equipped with a microphone and a speaker,
giving us the option to listen to what we have recorded. The speaker can be switched off
by removing the jumper JP1 compound.
Recording process:
1. Press PLAY/REC key (1-4) and hold it as long as the LED3 display is lit.
2. Start speaking.
3. Release key – message recording process finished.
4. Check recorded message by quickly pressing the (1-4) key.
Erasing:
Press PLAY/REC key (1-4) and hold it as long as the LED3 display is lit, then stop
recording.
Follow the same procedure for all four messages.
7. START UP
• Insert SIM card to be used for GSM-VAC2 in your personal mobile phone.
• Enter telephone numbers and the required operating parameters in SIM memory
• Insert SIM card in the GSM module ON the GSM-VAC2 device.
• Connect alarm inputs and outputs

PARAMETERS CHANGING USING THE SMS
For the fist time programming we suggest to send the; PRALL; command to the GSM-VAC2
PLUS. On your mobile phone you’ll get back 12 SMS with all parameters. You can simply re-write
the parameters and resend the SMS back to GSM-VAC2 PLUS.
For Example:
_____________________________________________________________________________
22
The first SMS will be SMS with telephone numbers (TK0 –TK9). If the SIM card is empty you’ll
get following SMS:
;TK 0=0;TK1=0;TK2=0;TK3=0;TK 4=0;TK5=0;TK6=0;TK7=0;TK 8=0;TK9=0;
You’d like to change the TK0 (0770 713 47), TK1 (0774236480) and TK2 (077125563)
;TK0=0770 713 47;TK1=077236480;TK2=077125563;TK3=0;TK 4=0;TK5=0;TK6=0;TK7=0;TK

8=0;TK9=0;
If you put the “+” before SMS string than you’ll automatically get the return message with just
programming values.
Example:
SMS to GSM-VAC2+:
;+TK0=0770 713 47;TK1=0772364800;TK2=077125563;TK3=0;TK

4=0;TK5=0;TK6=0;TK7=0;TK 8=0;TK9=0;
Return SMS from GSM-VAC2 PLUS if you use +:
;TK0=040 713 470;TK1=077236480;TK2=077125563;TK3=0;TK 4=0;TK5=0;TK6=0;TK7=0;TK

8=0;TK9=0;
You can use the same programming procedure for all parameters.
It is also possible to change just a few different parameters with one SMS. Consider that the SMS
should not be longer than 160 characters (included space bar).
For example, you want to change the following parameters and you want to get the confirmation
SMS back:
TK1, IP1, IP2, OP3, OP4; IF1, LK1 and RED
You will create the following SMS:

Other New Parameters
_____________________________________________________________________________
23
Receive revision of software and quality of signal (PRSQ)
Command: ;PRSQ;
When we send SMS with PRSQ command we receive revision of the device software and signal
quality. The signal is momentary, minimal, maximum and average. Form of SMS is like this:
P4+1.6m(300806)-SQ(5)=30, SQ MIN=21, SQ MAX=30, SQ AVE=25;
SQ(5) means momentary signal on VM5 (flashes of blue LED). Value 30 means the strength of
signal. This value is measured by GSM module. Value of the signal is between 1- 31, where 1
means the weakest signal and 31 the strongest signal.
MGT – message replay time
Is time in seconds, which tells us how long we will hear the voice message during alarm. Default
value is 20s.
RGT – ring time duration

Is time in seconds, which tells us how long the ring will last when alarm is on and then skip to call
the second number or cancel the RING. Default value is 90s.
C00 – conversion ˝00˝ to ˝+˝

If parameter is set to C00=1 VM5 converts ˝00˝ to ˝+˝. In case that we have on SIM card the
following number ˝0038642364807˝ and parameter C00=1, VM5 will dial this number
˝+38642364807˝. Parameter is suitable for countries where they don’t support calling with starting
numbers ˝00˝. Default value is ˝0˝.
TAM – tamper input

With this parameter we set the desired input to be active even if we reset the inputs. It means that
the desired input is active for 24h.
MRES – module reset

Time in hours. Resetting the GSM module is recommended because it is possible that GSM module
goes in to undefined state. Default time is 168h (one week).
NEW GSM-VAC2+ FEATURES
“MAIN POWER LOST” AND TELEPHONE NUMBERS LINKING – LK6, LK7

The GSM-VAC2+ will send an SMS message in case when the main power is lost (too low or off).
In this case the unit will send an SMS to user. The default SMS is “Main Power Lost” and it is
possible to change it. You can also program how long the unit must be without power. The default
level is 5 second.
The new GSM-VAC2+ can control also the battery level and when the level is under 10, 5 V will
send the SMS “Low Battery”.

The low level of the battery can be detected in cases where the unit works without main power
supply.

“MAIN POWER LOST” FILTER PARAMETR - VMT
Parameter VMT determines the length of the pulse which is required to create the alarm after the
main power is lost. This time can be from 1 second up to 240 seconds. The default value is 5
seconds.
For example: When the GSM-VAC2+ is without main power supply more than 5 seconds (default)
then will send the SMS message with following text: “Main Power Lost”.
At the moment when the main power comes back the GSM-VAC2+ will send the SMS message
with following text: “Main Power OK”.

“LOW BATTERY” FILTER PARAMETR - VBT
Parameter VBT determinate length of the pulse which is required to create the alarm after the power
of the battery is low and it is below 10,5V. This time can be from 1 second up to 240 seconds. The
default value is 10 seconds.
NOTE:
The “Low battery” will be detected when the GSM-VAC2+ operates only with back-up battery
and it is not connected on the Main Power Supply.
For example: When the voltage of the back up battery is less then 10,5V, the GSM-VAC2+ will
send the SMS message with the following text: “Low Battery”.
At the moment when the battery power will be higher then 10,5V the GSM-VAC2+ will send the
SMS message with the following text: “Low Battery OK”.

In case of “Main Power Lost” or “Low Battery” event you can send also short SMS message to the
client. It is possible to use default pre-programming SMS messages or you can write your own text
(different languages).

Normally, when we want to store the SMS text, the telephone number needs to be entered. Since
the latter is required only because of the basic design of the phone book memory, it is not important
what number we enter.
When we enter the number which is not equal to “0” this number will be pasted together with text
message.
