3.1. User data settings

Settings Users is used for putting authorized telephone numbers which will be used by the system EPIR for calling and/or delivering SMS messages in the case of alarm, the sequence starting with User1 and ending with User5, until the first successfully answered call or delivered message. Factory default value is none. The system EPIR allows entering 5 users (User1…User5) who will receive messages and will be able to change settings etc.

NOTE: the device will not call the other number on the list if the registered user picks up the phone or rejects the call. It is recommended for users to disable voice mail service on their telephones. If it is not disabled, in the case of alarm, when the system calls on user number voice mail can turn on in which case the call would not be diverted to another user number saved in the phone number list of the device.

It is necessary to enter only telephone number of the first user (User1), i. e. it is not necessarily to enter all 5 numbers (User1…User5) at once. User must type mobile number in the international format (it consist of only those digits that overseas callers must type: United Kingdom - 44[area code][local number]) without symbol '+'.

E.g. the mobile number of user is +44 (0) 113 xxx xxxx, so the incorrectly and correctly entered numbers are:

Incorrectly entered user number: 440113xxxxxxx or 0113xxxxxxx


Correctly entered user number: 44113xxxxxxx






Additional settings are used:

SMS ALL – function, enabling (check mark is selected) the mode when, in the case of alarm, informational SMS messages are sent to all the numbers provided on Users list. By default this function is disabled (check mark is not selected) – in this case informational SMS messages are delivered in a sequence starting with the first user (User1) and the message is delivered to the next user only in the case the device does not receive a confirmation about a successful SMS message delivery to the recipient.

Inform All about Arming/Disarming – When this function is enabled, the system sends information messages to all users (with enabled Arm/Disarm Event function) about armed/disarmed security system. By default this function is disabled - specified user will receive SMS notification about armed/disarmed security only in the case the fuction Arm/Disarm Event is enabled and he is personally arming or disarming security.

Alarm Event - When this function is enabled, the system sends information messages to user about alarm event.

CALLS Enable – function enabling (check mark is selected) or disabling (check mark is not selected) calls to the specified users in the case of alarm. By default this function is enabled.

SMS Enable – function enabling (check mark is selected) or disabling (check mark is not selected) SMS message delivery to the specified users in the case of alarm. By default this function is enabled.

Inform All about Arming/Disarming – When this function is enabled, the system sends information messages to all users (with enabled Arm/Disarm Event function) about armed/disarmed security system. By default this function is disabled - specified user will receive SMS notification about armed/disarmed security only in the case the fuction Arm/Disarm Event is enabled and he is personally arming or disarming security.

In Keeper section enter mobile telephone number who will receive messages about armed/disarmed security and alarm event.




3.2. Setting the main password


When configuring or controlling the system by phone via SMS messages all sent commands start with a password, therefore you must memorize it. Manufacturer default password is 0000, which is necessary to change. In the environment of EPIR Configuration Tool you can do this in the section Users > Security, where you will have to enter your own password consisting of 4 digits. Having entered the desired password do not forget to save the settings (to press the button Write Settings).

Allow Only preset Users – function, enabling (check mark is selected) the mode when the system reacts to the SMS messages – commands that are sent only from registered telephone numbers (User1...User5). If this function is disabled (check mark is not selected), the device can be controlled by all users who know the number of the SIM card inserted in the device, control commands and the password. By default this function is enabled.

NOTE: it is necessary to change default password (“0000”) because in the case the password is not changed the chosen parameters will not be stored in the device.
NOTE: when entering the new password you cannot use full stops, colons and spaces.
NOTE: even if you forgot the password using this software you will be able to easily check the password – all device settings, including the password, are displayed on the computer screen.


3.3. Selecting the language

Security system EPIR communicates with the user via SMS messages, which are used for sending various informational messages about system status. For the sake of comfort the user has an option to choose the language in which the SMS messages will be delivered.
In EPIR Configuration Tool program environment you can quickly set the language in the section Users > Language choosing one of the possible variants:


  • Lithuania – Lithuanian language;
  • Russia – Russian language;
  • English – English language;
  • Eesti – Estonian language;
  • Latviesu – Latvian language;
  • Deutsch – German language;


3.4. Periodical test settings

Security system EPIR can periodically send informational messages about device status, i. e., it informs the user about connection status, whether the security is armed/disarmed etc. every day at the preset time. This is the test how the system operates. The user can specify the frequency and time of these continuous messages:


Periode – specifies after how many days repetitive informational messages are delivered, e. g. if you enter “1” – the system sends messages every day, if you enter “2” – it sends messages every two days etc.

Time – specifies the time at which informational message will be delivered, e.g.: if you specify “11” – the message will be delivered at 11:00 etc.

NOTE: the user can disable the function of delivering periodical informational messages if he/she fills the fields in sections Period and Time with zeros.
NOTE: if you want system checks to be performed more often than once per day enter “0” in the section Period and “1…23” in the section Time. For instance, continuous check will be performed every two hours if you specify the following parameters: Period – “0”, Time – “2”.


3.5. Time and date settings

EPIR device has an integrated clock that must be set by the user when the device is started for the first time. The clock is intended for the system to send specific informational messages about system status at the specified time. You need to enter the following data:


Date - date, the format: year-month-day;

Time - time, the format: hours:minutes;

In the environment of EPIR Configuration Tool the user can enter date and time data or automatically set this information according to computer clock (pressing the button Get PC Time). When all data is set you must press the button Set Clock – the time settings will be entered on the device.
NOTE: when device power supply gets cut off or the backup battery is depleted internal clock is restored to the previous factory default value. To have the system operate correctly you need to reset the internal clock of the device accordingly.
NOTE: EPIR Configuration Tool program cannot read the internal clock of EPIR device, therefore when connecting the device to the software date and time fields will remain empty even though the time is set correctly in the device.
