Quick set up of the controller

1. Insert SIM card. Turn off PIN code requests
2. Screw GSM antenna,
3. Connect power supply 10-16VDC
4. Note: the USB power supply can only be used for configuration. It is not sufficient to power the modem.
5. Call to the module.
6. Note: The first one to call the controller will become the system administrator. The phone number will be stored in the module’s memory automatically. The caller will receive a greeting SMS with the IMEl of the module. At this moment all calls from different phone number will be rejected. The controller can be installed without any additional configuration if such operation mode is acceptable.
7. Configuration and control methods: SERA2 configuration software via USB or Internet remote https://www.topkodas.lt/Downloads/SERA2_Setup.exxe
   SERANOVA – Free WEB app https://seranova.eu/login SMS- confiquration with INST commands.

Complete SMS commands can be found in full Installation & Programming manual. Scan QR code or download here: https://www.topkodas.lt/product/atcom2

Setting parameters using SERA2 software

SERANOVA & SERA Cloud Service

To use the SERANOVA app or the SERA2 remote connection. The SERA cloud service needs to be activated by using the SERA2 on SMS command e.g. |INSTOOO000 010.1

By default this service is activated.

Imortant:  If there is no data plan on your SIM card. [SERA Cloud service] must be deactivated. Using SERA2 or SMS command: INSTOO0O00,010.0 Otherwise the module will stop working due toa lost data connection.

SMS command to set APN DATA/GPRS/LTE network settings

• INSTOO0O00.008 APN#LOGIN#PSW#
• e.g.INSTO00000 008,internet##where APN=”internet;

Ways to get device IMEl (UID)

• First call to module. The caller will receive a greeting SMS with the IMEI of the module.
• By SMS sending command. NSTOO0000,100,1
• Run SERA2 and connect device to USB.
• Go to: SERA2> System Options> System Info

Add a new system to SERANOVA app

• Enter the IMEI (UID)
• Enter App key. Default 123456.
• Enter user access code. Default 123456. Without a user access code, user unable to control system.
• Enter system SIM phone number
• Enter system name.
• Press Savel

Add additional system

• A SERANOVA user can add an unlimited number of systems. Go to SYSTEMS> [Add new system]

Add a new user

• New user must download the SERANOVA app and create an account
• System admin press SERANOVA>Menu>Users> [Add new User
• Fill all required fields: email, user code, output, user permissions …

Enter a valid email address of a user who already has a SERANOVA account. The system will automatically be added to the user’s account.

Add the System manually

The user must log in to SERANOVA account with the same email that the admin added to user list. Then the admin has to tell PROGATE details IMEI, user access code. And only then the user will be able to add the system to their app see: 4.3

Installation & wiring

• All wiring should be done with the power supply disconnected!

GTCOM2 is linked up with Control Panel communicator via the RING/TIP dial-up terminals emulating the connectivity of the PSTN line. Receives Ademco Contact ID data from the control panel and converts events into:

• Readable SMS message to user
• Push notifications to app.
• Reporting all panel events to CMS (central monitoring station) via standard SIA DC-09 protocol.

Setup PSTN communicator for the primary panel

Configuration PSTN communicator should be of the panel the similar as event transmission to the monitoring station receiver in CONTACT ID DTMF protocol. Practically the module can work with any any control panel which has PSTN communicator and meets Ademco Contact ID data format according to SIA DC-05 standard. Control panel must support phone number dialing using DTMF tones.

• Set communication enabled
• Set communicator account number 4 digits. E.g. [1234]
• Enter dial phone number e.g. [1234] (you can use any number longer than 2 digits. The GTCOM2 pick up and answer when the panel calls to any phone number).
• Set communication dialing options to [DTMF Dialing]
• Set Communications protocol to [DTMF Contact ID]
• If panel has such option set [Contact ID Automatic Reporting Codes]
• Enable PSTN communication events upon your needs Open/Close/Alarm/Restore/Maintenance/Test

Check the progress of the communication on LEDs. LINE (blue) LED lights continuously, when central panel OFF HOOK. DTMF LED is blinking (5-10ms) during communication. When DTMF LED lights for 1s, data received correctly.

ARM/ DISARM Control Panel via keyswitch zone

• Control primary panel via short call, SERANOVA app, SMS
• Control primary panel using keyboard and see the status in app

GTMOM2 outputs can be used for arming/ disarming by connecting to one of the alarm panel’s zones pre-configured as a keyswitch. If the control panel status changes rom ARM to DISARM, the status of GTCOM2 changes from ARM to DISARM also if the siren is triggered, the SMS will be send to the user’s mobile followed by a call GTCOM2 can be used as communicator with primary control panel and also home gate control.

Set GTCOM2 PGM action on ARM/DISARM

Go to SERA2>Outputs (PGM) and set:

• Out Definition: [Activate by ARM/DISARM Command]
• No: [1] (this is partition number)
• Mode: [Pulse]
• Timer: [2s] (this is PGM pulse time on ARM/DISARM command)

Synchronization of control panel ARM/DISARM status with GTCOM2

There are two ways to synchronize the ARM state of the panel with GTCOM2:

1. Synchronize [By Panel Events].
2. Synchronize [By Panel PGM] (recommended)

• Go to SERA2> System Options> General System Options
• Set [App ARM/ DISARM Synchr. mode]

ARM state synchronization by panel PGM

Set Panel PGM to monitoring ARM status in level (steady) Mode

• Set PGM activation event: [ARM Area1]
• Deactivation Event: [DISARM Area1]
• Mode: [Steady]

NO/NC depending of GTCOM2 input keyswitch settings.

Set Pane Keyswitch to Momentary (Pulse) Mode

• Zone Type: [Keyswitch Momentary] (Pulse)
• Area Assignment: [Area 1] (Set AREA you want to control)
• Keyswitch Action: [ARM/DISARM]

Set GTCOM2 keyswitch zone

Go to SERA2>Inputs/Zones and set:

• Keyswitch Zone Mode: [Level] (Steady)
• Definition: [keyswitch ARM/DISARM]
• Type: [NC
• Press: [Write]

How to test GTCOM2 & Primary Panel synchronization?

• Go to SERA2> RT Testing & Monitoring> Hardware
• Press “Start Monitoring” button
• Press /O1 On/Off button
• See in Inputs (ADC values) should change 1> 0 or 0>1
• Status of the primary panel should change Security Alarm a”
• Go to SERA2> RT Testing & Monitoring> Security Alarm Panel/ Access
• The status of GTCOM2 module should change
• You’ll see the same process in the mobile app on your smartphone.

Remote control

Control using SERANOVA app

• How to start SERANOVA app read paragraph 4
• Add partition or output widget and set the parameters

Control with phone call

The first one to call the controller will become the system administrator Call the number of the SIM card inserted into the controller. The controller automatically rejects the call and this phone number will be able to ARM/DISARM system with free short call.

Control with SMS messages

ARM/DISARM/STAY/SLEEP

• USER123456,030, ST 030= command code (Change security system’s mode (ARM/DISARM/STAY/SLEEP)
• ST Security system mode 0-DISARM, 1-ARM, 2-STAY, 3-SLEEP

Output pulse activation for the time interval

• USER123456,022 N#TIME#
• 022- command code, N = output number 1-32; TIME = 0-999999 Time
• interval in seconds for the output activation.
• e.g.USER123456 022,2#5# Activate OUT2 for 5 seconds
