SP9 - User’s Manual
1. Introduction
GSM-SP9 (SP9 for short) is a device for remote monitoring and control via GSM network. There are three variants of SP9 which differ in usage of input terminals A1-
,A1+ (see variants of SP9). The number of digital outputs (eight inputs) is the same for all variants. Outputs can change its status or generate pulse depending on SMS command.
SP9 can react on input changes by sending an SMS and/or by a voice call.
Functions, input and output names, phone numbers, passwords, etc. are fully user configurable from personal computer either locally via USB cable or remotely via
GSM data call (CSD) using modem and program SP Init. This configuration program
SP Init can be downloaded (free of charge) from the website www.seapraha.cz
(English pages Support GSM-SP9). The SP9 box has an integrated DIN rail mount, so you can comfortably place SP9 in the cabinet.
Variants of SP9:
GSM-SP9-A: 8 digital outputs, 9 digital inputs, 1 analog input 0 to 20mA
GSM-SP9-D: 8 digital outputs, 11 digital inputs
GSM-SP9-T: 8 digital outputs, 9 digital inputs,
1 analog input (temperature range -50°C to +150°C)
Each variant is equipped with internal Li-Ion backup battery

3. Installation
Before inserting the SIM card into the SP9, it is highly recommended to turn off setting of the “PIN code”!
Insert the active SIM card (= at least one call was made) to any mobile telephone and turn off the requirement of setting the PIN. On most mobile telephones, this option can be found in menu “Setting the telephone protection” or “Setup -> Security -> PIN control”. Note: The PIN is possible to activate later when the user became familiar with the configuration procedure of SP9. configuring SP9 with a USB cable, SP9 must be connected to power!
Load the configuration from SP9 by clicking the [Load]. Enter your phone number and rewrite the Paul's name on the "User List".
7. Modified configuration has to be written to SP9. Click the [Write]. If you leave the USB cable connected, you can monitor the current state of SP9 inputs, outputs and status.
8. Digital inputs (signals in SP9) are connected to terminals X1 to X9 (or X11) and digital outputs (signals out of the SP9) are connected to terminals Y1 to Y8.
Schematics of these signals are listed in the "Hardware" section. In the event of any change on any input SP9 can send to your mobile phone SMS message in the form as "Input1 is closed" (the text depends on SP9 configuration).

6. Remote Control
6.1 SMS Message control
SP9 is controlled via SMS messages of GSM network. Command SMS messages are in form:
<PASSWORD> <COMMAND> [<RETURN COMMAND >]
Example:
1234 STATE
1234 DOUT1 ON returned
… SP9 returns an SMS containing status
… SP9 output1 will be switched on. Confirmation SMS will be
1234 DOUT8 PULSE NOBACK … SP9 pulse on output8 will be generated, no confirmation message will be sent back
It’s possible to write more commands into one command SMS. For higher readability separate commands by semicolon “;” inside command use “=”.
1234 OUTPUT0=ON; OUTPUT1=ON; OUTPUT3=PULSE;
Names of inputs and outputs are user definable by SPInit program. Command SMS may look like this:
1234 GATE=OPEN; HEATING=ON; LAMP=BLINK
6.2 Status SMS Text Message
Whenever command SMS contains valid password, SP9 always returns status SMS.
Status SMS contains following information:
<Device Name>: <LogInput1>=<LogInput1Status> <LogInput2>=<LogInput2Stat us> ... <LogOutput1>=<LogOutput1Status>
<LogOutput2>=<LogOutput1Status> ... <GSM Signal Level>
Status SMS message contains information only about selected inputs and outputs.
Selection is done in configuration program SPInit by checking the appropriate checkbox.

7.9 SPInit - Important Terms Explanation
PIN (Personal Identification Number – usually four digits number). Only persons with knowledge of PIN can operate a SIM card (in case the PIN usage on a SIM card was activated). Usage of the PIN can be deactivated. Insert the SIM card to your mobile phone and follow the instruction in the mobile phone manual. (Usually the
PIN usage can be deactivated in Menu -> Security -> PIN).
ACCESS CODE = Password for SMS commands, configuration and monitoring of
SP9 accepts only SMS with a valid access code. The password is requested also for connection of SP9 (via USB cable or remotely via data connection of GSM network).
Factory setting of access code is “1234”.
EVENT = level change in case of digital input, zone change in case of analog inputs.
SP9 can react on EVENTS by several ACTIONS if it is setup this way. SP9 can send
SMS messages on selected phone numbers and/or to make voice calls on selected phone numbers.
ACTION = one voice call or one SMS to one user. Any EVENT can contain several
ACTIONS.
USER LIST = List of all users and their phone numbers which are used for
ACTIONS. User names are used only for better clarity. SP9 does not use them in any way.
DEVICE OFF = Disconnection of SP9 from any form of power supply (including internal battery).
DEVICE ON = Connection of SP9 to any form of power supply. (Processor reset has the same effect).
POWER ON/OFF = Connection/disconnection of supply terminals from external power supply. (SP9 supplied from internal battery can send SMS about Power recovery and Power outage).
7.10 Remote Configuration
SP9 can be configured remotely via GSM data connection (CSD) in the same way like via USB cable (Note: You need any
GSM modem connected to your PC). Just click in menu [Options] and in new window called “Options” set the “Station’s phone” number for data connection to
SP9. Click [OK] to close the window. For connection select proper COM port which is used for communication with modem and press the button [Connection]. Confirm the phone number [Yes]. When the GSM connection is established it’s possible to operate the SP9 in the same way like via USB.
Note: Press [Disconnect] when your task is finished.
7.11 Events
SP9 can be set up to inform about events (= changes) on its digital and analog inputs. SP9 sends information via SMS message or makes a voice call. By the SPInit program is possible to set several actions for each event specifying the phone number – user who will receive an SMS message and who will be called. A various
SMS can be sent to and a voice call can be made to more phone numbers from the list. The order of SMS and voice calls depends on a list of actions for each action.
Voice call rises the probability the user will not miss received SMS message.
GSM-SP9_Users_Manual_EN_v1-14.docx / 2013-04-26
Here it is possible to select the format of the values (not for internal inputs), which used for displaying and the unit values.
Conversion
In this table, you can specify your own conversion of input values to be displayed
(not for internal inputs)
In the tab "Zones and events" can be set the name of the zone and the limit value with hysteresis.
Whenever the actual value is inside the zone, the zone name is displayed in the status SMS message.
Furthermore is possible to set up the action which will be executed after the input level transition (above or below a certain level) after a specified delay. Setting of actions and macros is the same as for the digital inputs
Example:
Sample configuration with the analog input values conversion to user units:
Analog input is configured as current input 0-20 mA.
