4. DIMENSIONS

5. INSTALLATION

5.1. Environment

Due to the make up of the GSM Commander and it's electronics, we STRONGLY advise that it not be

installed in close proximity to a variable speed drive or any other electrically noisy equipment. DO

NOT install the GSM Commander into a metal enclosure unless an antenna is mounted on the outside

of the enclosure.

5.2. Power Supply

The GSM Commander has a 2.1mm DC jack connector where a power supply must be connected. The

power supply should have the following specifications:

•Output Voltage: 14V nominal

•Output urrent: 0.5A

•Polarity:

A suitable power supply is supplied with the retail product.

Please Note: It is advised to use a 14V Switching Power Suppl if more than one Expansion Unit is

connected to the GSM Commander.

In industrial applications, it is advised that the GSM Commander be installed into its own

metal housing and be powered from a separate power supply with a DC Filter. As opposed to

sharing one with other equipment).

Please Note: While the GSM Commander has fairl rugged internal power suppl circuitr , no

special provision for lightning protection is made. If the GSM Commander is used in an area that is

prone to thunderstorms, it is advisable to use a commerciall available lightning suppressor (The

same applies to inputs or outputs that are connected to wires longer than 2 or 3 meters). The

guarantee does not cover damage resulting from lightning strikes! The GSM Commander can

operate reliabl from voltages in the range of 12 to 24V DC.

5.3. USB Port

The GSM Commander provides a USB port that connects to a PC using the supplied USB cable. This

allows the PC to configure the unit.

5.4. SIM ard

The GSM Commander accepts a standard GSM SIM card from any network. The SIM card may be

prepaid or on contract. If the SIM Card is purchased as part of a prepaid plan, ensure than the card

is loaded with sufficient airtime.

WARNING: DO NOT Insert or remove the SIM card while the GSM ommander is powered!!

Note that airtime will decrease with every SMS that is sent from the unit. The unit can

automatically detect if the airtime is running low. It is user's responsibility to make sure than the

airtime is topped up. See your network's documentation on how to purchase and load airtime.

The SIM card is fitted into the back of the unit, as indicated by the legend on the enclosure. The SIM

card will click into place and is removed simply by pressing against it. The card will pop out with a

“click” sound, ready to be completely removed.

Before you install your SIM ard:

•Install the SIM card into a normal cellular phone

•Verify that there is no SIM PIN enabled (The phone must not ask for a PIN when switched on with

this SIM card inside). If the phone does request a PIN, you need to enter the correct pin so that

the phone can start, and then disable the SIM Card PIN. See your cellphone documentation on

how this can be done.

•Verify that you are able to send an SMS message.

The SIM card will now work with the GSM Commander.

Please Note: If ou are using a prepaid SIM card, be aware that if the SIM card has not produced a

billable event on the network for a long period of time (t picall 3 months), the card will be de-

activated b the network, and the SIM card then becomes useless. It is strongl recommended that

ou configure the GSM Commander to send ou an SMS ever now and then (once or twice a week)

so that our SIM card remains active on the network.

The GSM Commander can ONLY check the airtime of a PREPAID SIM card.

5.5. Antenna

The GSM Commander is supplied with a basic antenna operating in the correct frequency band for

your area / country. Connect the antenna to the GSM Commander securely. Verify, using a cellphone,

that there is sufficient signal at the proposed installation site. On a phone with a 4 or 5 bar signal

strength indicator, you should have at least 1 2 bars of signal.

If the signal is too weak, the GSM Commander may have trouble sending or receiving SMS messages.

Low signal can also affect the unit and might result in more data charges (using the GPRS gateway).

In these cases, try and find a better location, or order one of our special antennas.

If you are outside South Africa, you may require a different antenna.

The frequency bands are:

➢2G : 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900MHz

➢3G : 800 / 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100MHz

Your network will be able to tell you which frequency band(s) are in use. Contact your local

electronics supplier about antennas that operate in your area.

Feel free to contact Polygon Technologies with your request for a special antenna.

5.6. Software Installation

The latest software is supplied on a CD (where applicable) with the product and is also available to

download from our website for free at https://www.gsmcommander.com.

We do recommend downloading the latest version from our website.

The setup program (on the CD) will start automatically, or if the autorun feature is not enabled on

your PC, you may run the “setup.exe” executable file on the CD to start the setup process. The

software has been tested to work on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Win7, Win8 and Win10.

The setup process for Windows 7 has been documented here, but the process is similar in the other

versions of Windows.
