AKO-52044 GSM Alarm Module Instruction Manual
Introduction
Alarm module with remote control via GSM, with 4 digital inputs and two out put relays. The alarms detected in any of its inputs will be communicated sequentially by SMS to the 10 telephone numbers saved in its internal phone book until one of them confirms their reception. It also allows activating or deactivating at will any of the 2 output relays, using SMS messages. The module is powered by the 230 V~ mains supply and incorporates a battery that guarantees its operation in the event of a power failure. It incorporates additional functions such as sending alerts in the event of a power failure or in the event of its reestablishment, status query, etc.

Configuration
Alarm configuration is carried out sending messages (SMS) to the telephone number installed in the alarm (SIM Card).
-
* * In all of the examples shown, the password printed on the alarm label is used by default. If you have changed it, remember to replace it with the current password.- The password is necessary only to add numbers to the “telephone list” or to change the password itself. For all other configuration, it is necessary only for the telephone number sending the messages to be registered on the “telephone list”.
- We recommend that using the application “AKO-52044” for smartphones to carry out the configuration. It is available at www.ako.com and in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
WARNINGS
-
* * In the configuration, confirmation, and tracking messages, use commas (,) only to separate the different parameters, never to define alert messages. The only purpose of the blank spaces is to define alert messages.- Messages must be ALWAYS be in upper-case.
- Pay special attention to your mobile telephone’s spell check function. Check that the message isncorrect before sending it.
- No accents, umlauts or special characters may be used.
Telephone list
Allows you to create a list of telephone numbers to which the alarm sends alert and confirmation messages (see pg. 22).
Only the telephone numbers on this list can make changes to the alarm configuration, confirm alarms or act on the outputs.
Send “PHONELIST,,,<number1#number2#number3#number4…#number10>
Response Time:
Maximum confirmation time in minutes; if after this time a confirmation message has not been received, the alert will be sent to the next telephone on the list.
Example: For a response time of 5 minutes, send:
After a few seconds, the alarm responds with the message*:

Alarm sending sequence
When an alarm is detected in any of the inputs, the alarm sends an SMS to the
assigned contacts in the following order:
If the first number does not send a confirmation message in the preset time (response time), the alert is sent to the next number, and so on. If the last number on the list does not answer, the system will start again with the first one. When a confirmation message is sent, there are no more notifications of the alarm until it disappears and is reactivated.
The alarm message is configurable (see page 21). If it has not been changed, the received message will be similar to the following:
Alarm confirmation
To confirm an alarm, reply to the message received with OK I<input
number>. You do not have to enter the administrator password; the alarm will
respond with a confirmation message after a few moments.
Example:
After a few seconds, the alarm responds with the message*:
As soon as the alarm disappears, the message is sent:
Control of relays
You can activate or deactivate the output relays at will, by sending SMS messages, which allows you to remotely act on the facility. To change the status of the relays, send “RELES, , ” <Relay 1 status>, <Relay 2 status>”.
Relay statuses:
Example: To activate relay 1 and deactivate relay 2, send:
After a few seconds, the alarm responds with the message*:
Power failure alert message
If a power failure occurs, the alarm starts to operate in battery mode and
sends an alarm message with the same sending sequence as the other alarms (see
page 22).
To confirm receipt, send:
When power is restored, the alarm will send a new alarm message which does not
require confirmation.
The alert message is customisable in both cases (see pg. 21).
Reset alert
If the unit is restarted, whether it is because of a power failure or a forced restart using the reset button, the alarm sends a customised message (see pg. 21) to the first telephone number on the list. If you have not customised the message, the alert will not be sent.
Reset function
The alarm has two types of reset:
- Partial reset:. Press the reset button for less than 5 seconds: the alarm is reset and it keeps the current configuration.
- Total reset:. Press the reset button for more than 5 seconds: the alarm is reset and returns to the factory settings, including the password. (All of the LEDs turn on and off 3 times).
