1.1. Functionality


ESIM262 is a central security unit consisting of 12 security zones ESIM262 - microcontroller based security system for houses, cottages, country homes, garages and other buildings, also capable of managing electrical devices and appliances over cellular GSM network. It can be used as Intercom system. The system can be used in the following applications:
1. Property security
2. Thermostat, heating and air-conditioner control, temperature monitoring
3. Lighting, garden watering, water pump and other electrical equipment control via SMS messages
4. Remote listening of what is happening in the secured property with microphone.
5. Mains 230V power status with SMS message

1.2 Operation Description


Security alarm system ESIM262 works over GSM network. The system is armed or disarmed with DALLAS button iButtonĀ® (for more details see chapter 5.2), keyboard or short phone call from your mobile which doesn't incur any cost or using one of security zone inputs.

To arm or disarm the alarm system the user has to call to the number of the SIM card inserted in ESIM262 device. Before doing this it is necessary to change the default password and enter at least one user.

When alarm system number has been dialled and ringing is dropped after three call signals - means the system was successfully armed. If ringing is dropped after only one call signal - system disarmed. The user should wait until the system drops calls automatically.

When system is armed via phone call, there is no time delay; the alarm system is activated immediately. Meanwhile the system has 15 second delay before activation, meant for leaving premises if Dallas button or keyboard is used. After that period is over security system is armed.

The time delay is user configurable parameter. This is described in user manual provided in device packaging. Mini buzzer and/or light emitting diode will inform if delay time has been engaged. The security alarm system will not get armed if any one of the zones is active, which will be reported via SMS message.

First zone is special with 15 second activation delay which allows user to disarm the system using DALLAS button or keyboard. The user is notified about running delay with audible and LED signalling so that he/she can disable the alarm system by DALLAS button, keyboard or other means. Delay configuration is described in . The user must insert DALLAS button, enter pin code on the keyboard or make deactivating phone call before delay ends, otherwise the system will sound and report alarm. Activated alarm can be disabled same way, using DALLAS button, keyboard or a by a phone call. Delay configuration is described in chapter 5.1.

When any of zones get activated, the system sends SMS message until successful delivery and rings to the pre-programmed numbers until the user picks up the phone or call expires and if the call is terminated by mobile network operator. It is also possible to configure a different alarm transfer method, e. g., SMS message delivery to all users or disabling calls etc. If the user answers the call sound alarm will be switched off and remote microphone gets activated for listening. At the end of the call the system will return to active state. SMS messages will include zones activated and will keep trying until successful delivery. The system will automatically switch to backup battery supply in case of mains power failure, and user gets SMS warning message. SMS message will also notify when mains power is restored or back-up battery is about to get discharged and system will be switched off until external electric power supply is restored. When power supply is restored the user will get a message notifying about successful system start.

The user can also inquire the system about controllable temperature of the premises, system status, power supply status, network quality as well as connect and listen through a remote microphone. SMS message In case of controlled temperature deviating from the allowable limits SMS message will also be sent informing about this. In this case it is necessary to connect temperature sensor.

ESIM262 can control 2 electronic appliances (can be extended to 10) sending a password and a special command from a GSM phone of any of the users. You can, for example, turn on the heating, lighting, lift the gates, blinds etc. The system will ignore requests coming from unknown telephone number or SMS message with wrong password. With correct password user has the capability to access system management from any GSM phone (not necessary pre-programmed). See more details in chapter 3.2. In order to use ESIM262 as Intercom or alarm system with two-way audio communication it is necessary to connect audio amplifier module.
