Jablotron JA-60GSM Installation Manual

JA-60GSM dialer module 

Installation manual 

The JA-60GSM dialer is constructed for the JA-60, 63 and 65 alarm control panels. The dialer is used for communication via GSM. An 

appropriate GSM provider is chosen according to the inserted SIM card. This Installation manual is intended for the JA-60GSM, version FJ61409.  

The GSM module, when installed in the alarm control panel, enables:  

•

Automatic sending of an event’s text messages to up to 8 mobile phones 

•

Dialing of programmed telephone numbers and playing of an audible warning signal  

•

Data transfer to one or two Central Monitoring Stations (CMS)  

•

Remote control and programming of the alarm system via SMS instruction messages from a mobile phone or from Jablotron’s SMS 

website 

•

Remote control and programming of the alarm system using a telephone set keypad (mobile or land line)  

•

Remote control of an appliance (heating system etc.) via telephone (mobile or land line) 

•

Phone calls and convenient receiving and sending of SMS messages using an SMS-8010 telephone set (optional accessories; except 

GSM kits e.g.JK-05) attached to the dialer module (via the GSM network)  

•

Connection of the intercom SP-01 for communication with the premises 

•

Internet connection using the GPRS data transfer 

•

Programming of the alarm system via ComLink software 

•

Programming and remote supervision of the alarm system via Jablotron’s website www.gsmlink.cz

Installation of the dialer 

The JA-60GSM dialer can be installed into the telephone 

communicator’s position in a JA-60, 63 or 65 control panel  (either a 

GSM module or a telephone line communicator module can be used in 

a control panel – it is not possible to install both simultaneously).     

a) 

Disconnect

 the control panel’s 

power

 supply (both AC and 

backup battery).  If the control panel has been previously used 

before this installation, enter the programming mode before 

disconnecting the power supply.  

b)  We recommend you to 

disable the SIM card PIN code 

protection 

before you insert it into the dialer. Use a mobile phone 

to perform this task (if you have a NOKIA phone, select: Menu, 

Settings, Security settings, PIN code request, Off). If you insist on 

usage of the PIN, see section 

5.1

. 

c) 

Open the SIM card holder 

(by sliding it in the direction shown in

figure 1

) 

and

 Insert the SIM card

 into the holder 

and close it

 by 

sliding it back. – see figure 1. 

d)  Attach the dialer into the control panel case and connect its flat 

cable to the control panel’s main board.  

e) Connect 

the 

GSM antenna

 (never switch the power supply on 

without a proper antenna)  

f) Connect 

a

 SMS-8010 telephone set

 to the PHONE connector (or to 

PHONE terminals) if desired. Only one telephone set can be attached 

to the dialer. The PHONE output of the dialer should never be 

connected to any other telephone network. 

g)  If you use the 

AUX output

 to control an appliance, connect its 

cable to the AUX output terminals (normally open dry contact, 

max. 100mA / 60V) – see figure 1.

Note: if your control panel supports programming of the PgX and 

PgY outputs for the AUX function (sequences 238 and 239), the 

appliance can also be controlled wirelessly from the control panel 

by incorporating a UC-216 or UC-222 receiver module into the 

system. 

h) 

Reconnect the control panel’s power supply

 (backup battery 

and AC). The system will show a 

P

, (programming mode). The red 

LED on the GSM dialer will light permanently (indicating that the 

module is establishing a connection with the GSM network). The 

LED will switch off after the connection is successfully 

established

.   

If the LED starts flashing, the module was not able to connect to 

the GSM network. In this case, switch off the control panel’s power 

completely. Remove the SIM card and insert it into a mobile phone 

to confirm whether it is possible to connect to the network at this 

location. You can also select a desired network manually if options 

are available. Ensure that the SIM card does not request a PIN 

code (optional use with a PIN code is described in section 5.1). 

Once the SIM card works in the mobile phone, reinsert it into the 

GSM dialer and repeat step h). If the GSM signal is weak in this 

area, change the location of the GSM antenna before you try to 

reestablish the connection. 

i) 

Attach the control panel’s cover after the module has connected to 

the GSM network (LED switched off). 

j) 

Enter 971

 on the alarm system keypad (while in programming 

mode) to 

monitor the GSM signal

. The keypad will show a 

number from 0 to 9 and it will sound a beep every second 

indicating a new measurement. For proper functioning of the dialer 

the signal strength should be 3 or higher. Find the best location for 

the antenna while measuring the signal strength. To switch the 

system 

back to programming

 mode press the 

N

 key.   

k) 

Without additional programming you can 

test the user features

 of 

the dialer (phone calls from an attached phone, remote control of 

the system via a remote phone, remote control of an appliance 

etc.). See the following description. 

l) 

Set telephone numbers

 for automatic event reporting and the 

other selectable features – see part 3. 

m) 

Programming of the GSM dialer

 is possible by entering 

programming sequences via the alarm system’s keypad (while in 

programming mode). The most convenient programming method, 

however is via a connected PC using Comlink software, or by 

using the www.GSMlink.cz website.
