Overview

Ontech GSM 9040 is a removable unit that controls, alarms and monitors via the GSM mobile

network. The unit is powered by 230 V and starts up automatically when it is plugged into a 230 V

socket. The unit is also equipped with an internal backup battery. All communication with the unit is

handled with SMS. In the Android app the SMS is sending and receiving in the background.

The unit has a 230 V outlet that can be turned on and turned off remotely. When it is turned

on it can be set to automatically be switched off after a set time between 1 second and 99

hours. It can also be set to switch on when an alarm sensor is activated, the Auto Relay

function. A special function, the Garage Opener switch on the 230V for one second if the

incoming call matches a mobile number that is pre-set to the user list in the Garage Opener

function.

The unit has two wired alarm inputs. They can be set to opening (Normally Closed, NC) or

closing (Normally Open, NO) function. All types of alarm sensors with either closing or

opening function can be connected to the unit. For example fire alarms, PIR, magnet

switches, level guards etc. The unit sends an SMS to all mobile numbers on the Alarm list. Up

to 9 different mobile numbers can be programmed in the Alarm list.

The unit has a built-in temperature sensor that has an accuracy of +/- 2 degrees C when the

230 V outlet switch is turned off. At request the temperature is reported. If a radiator is

connected to the outlet 230 V the unit can be used to regulate the temperature in the room

with the Thermostat function.

The unit can be set to alarm if the temperature is rising above or drop below a preset

temperature value. This temperature alarm can also be combined with the Auto Relay

function so the 230 V outlet switches on if there is a temperature alarm.

The unit is equipped with a backup battery. The purpose of this is to send an alarm if the

main power fails. This alarm can be set with a delay of up to 40 minutes. If the main power is

restored within the set delay, there will be no alarm sent. When the main power returns

after an alarm a message about this will be sent from the unit.

The unit can be updated to the latest firmware by downloading it from www.ontechgsm.com

and connect the unit with your computer with the cable attached.

Start up the unit the first time

SIM-card

The unit needs a SIM-card that works in the GSM (2G) mobile network.

The size is a mini-SIM card. This card is approximately 25*15 mm. Also the size called micro-SIM can

be used if a mini-SIM adapter is used.

It is important that the pin code function is disabled on the SIM-card. A pin code is often activated by

the network operator. Deactivate the pin code in a mobile telephone. Se the manual for the

telephone.

Some prepaid SIM cards has a voice message that is played the first time the SIM-card is used. This

message is blocking all the SMS function in Ontech GSM 9040 and must be removed. Put the SIM—

card in a mobile phone and make a voice call that is answered and the voice message is removed.

Prepaid SIM-cards can be used. Have in mind that it is only valid for a certain period of time if it is not

used and not refilled. It can also use up all money and then the Ontech GSM 9040 cannot send any

message or alarm. We strongly recommend that you register the prepaid SIM-card at the network

operator´s web site so you can handle the card via Internet.

approximately 15 seconds and then it connects to the GSM network the LED is constant shining

green. Position the unit so the text on the front is correctly oriented, if not the temperature

measurements might be affected.

If the main power is broken the internal backup battery will continue to power the unit. After one

minute a message will be sent to all mobile numbers on the Alarm list saying the main power fails (se

Power fail alarms on page 21).

To switch of the unit, disconnect from the main power and push the button for approximately 30

seconds.

that no unauthorized person shall be able to use the unit. The Password contains of four digits.
