TX CELLULAR PLUS INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL 1. Introduction The FSK TX Cellular Plus (TXC+) is a highly featured GSM based unit which is used for the transmission of Security and Telemetry messages over the GSM network. The TXC+ can communicate via both GPRS and SMS messages and includes the universal Contact ID interface to Alarm Control Panels as well as serial interfacing into some leading panels. It also has seven dry contact input triggers. In addition, the TXC+ has two outputs which can be used to command Alarm Panels and other devices. This manual is applicable to the TXC+ with software versions 1.48 and higher (see section 2 to determine which software is in your unit). 2. Features & Functions 2.1 Reporting Options Option of Single or Dual SIM card operation for enhanced security GPRS reporting to a control room Option of back-off to SMS (to control room) if GPRS is not available SMS directly to cell-phones (up to 10 cell phone numbers) SMS reporting to cell phones includes full user, zone and partition identification in plain text TXC Plus Installation and Operations Guide (v1.1) 5

3.1.1 Power Supply The TXC+ must be connected to a stable 12V DC (nominal 13.2V) power supply. If a battery is available in the alarm panel, it must preferably be powered directly from the battery. 3.1.2 Check AC The Check AC (CAC) input detects the presence of the AC supply and is used to check for power failure. The CAC line should be connected to one of the transformer s SECONDARY terminals. Do NOT connect this line to the mains. The CAC line will detect AC voltages between 10 and 24V. If the CAC line is not connected, the TXC+ should not be programmed to send AC Failure or Restoral Signals. The AC Failure and AC Restore signals have a 10 minute delay in order to prevent false triggers. 8 TXC Plus Installation and Operations Guide (v1.1)
3.1.3 Dry Contact Inputs The dry contact inputs can be used to detect alarms generated from the outputs of the alarm panel or from other sources. If the external device generates the alarm by pulling the input to ground (negative trigger), the pull-up jumper should be inserted on the input of the TXC+. 3.1.4 Contact ID Inputs The TXC+ can intercept signals sent by the alarm panel on its telephone line (Contact ID) interface. If the Contact ID interface is to be used, the alarm panel s TIP and RING lines should be connected to the TIP and RING lines on the TXC+. The alarm panel must be programmed to use its dialler, and the option for reporting must be set to Contact ID. Refer to the programming manual of the applicable alarm panel. The TXC+ can be programmed to use its own account code or the account code of the alarm panel when sending alarms received via the Contact ID interface. 3.1.5 Serial Port The TXC+ can receive alarms from the following alarm panels on its serial port: TXC Plus Installation and Operations Guide (v1.1) 9
Texecom premier range (panel uploads and downloads can also be done) Paradox E65, SP6000 and MG5050 Pima 3.1.6 Relay Outputs Two dry-contact relay outputs are available on the TXC+. These outputs can be commanded to turn on and off via the GSM network or by using the option of the on-board remote control receiver. The outputs are rated to 24V AC or DC, up to a maximum of 5A. 3.2 TX Cellular Plus Installation Software Version Connect the TXC+ to the 12V supply, observing polarity. On startup, the TXC+ will display its software and hardware versions, e.g. Example: 88888 For the Software Version 1.48 and hardware version C. The software version is only displayed for version 1.40 and above. 10 TXC Plus Installation and Operations Guide (v1.1)
3.3 GSM Connection and Signal Strength The performance of the TXC+ depends on the quality of its connection to the GSM network. The TXC+ will send alarms more quickly and reliably if it has a strong connection to the GSM service provider. When the TXC+ has powered up, it will start connecting to the network, displaying its status as it initialises and connects (see section 3 Indicators and Controls). When the TXC+ has connected to the GSM network, it will display the SIM Card Number which it is using and the signal strength of the connection. Example: 8888 Connected on SIM Card 1 Signal Strength 6 The minimum signal strength required is 5. If an adequate signal strength is not obtained Move the TXC+ to a more suitable location Fit the TXC+ with a higher gain antenna (available from FSK) TXC Plus Installation and Operations Guide (v1.1) 11
3.4 Changing the Default SIM Card The TXC+ units which have been fitted with two SIM cards (Dual SIM unit) have the option of changing the default SIM card to be used. The default SIM card should be changed to the one with the highest signal strength. Press and hold-down the push-button until the TXC+ swaps SIM cards and restarts using the new SIM card (section 3 describes what is displayed). Wait until the TXC+ has re-connected to the GSM network on the new SIM card and displays the signal strength. If the TXC+ displays an error message (E1 or E4), the selected SIM card is not working and the other one should be selected. Do NOT change the SIM card on Single SIM units (TXC+ with only one SIM card fitted) as it will not be able to connect to the GSM network and send alarms. The minimum signal strength required is 5. Lower than this signal strength will make it difficult to access the TXC+ remotely. 12 TXC Plus Installation and Operations Guide (v1.1)
3.5 Selecting the Alarm Panel Serial Port Format The alarm panel serial port can be selected via the on-board push button (as well as the PC based programming software). The following serial port formats are available: Texecom Premier (programming required) Appendix B Paradox (MG5050, SP6000, SP65) Appendix C Pima Appendix D RhinoBus (FSK) FSK 9600 (For expansion boards) To change the serial port format: Remove the power from the TXC+ Hold down the push-button and re-apply the power Push the button to cycle through the panel serial port settings until the correct serial port is displayed. Leave the button for 15 seconds. The TXC+ will reset and remember the new serial port format TXC Plus Installation and Operations Guide (v1.1) 13
