How it works

GTCOM2 connects to your existing alarm control panel to convert Contact ID to SMS. It is designed for people who wish to have monitoring of their security control panels without paying for external back-to-base monitoring.

The list of Central panels which are tested with GTCOM2 GSM communicator Contact ID to SMS converter:

Practically the module can work with any central panel which has PSTN communicator and meets Ademco Contact ID data format according to SIA SIA DC-05 standard. Also Central panel must support phone number dialing using DTMF tones. (Pulse dialing is not supported by GTCOM)

A lot of security control panels are able to transfer events to the security monitoring stations via PSTN land phone line via Contact ID protocol. These messages help to quickly find out where the event took place and what kind of event is it, e.g. triggered sensor, security system in ARM state, security system troubles, network failure etc. However a lot of security control panels are not able to send SMS to a user to inform about alarms and other events of the security system. To solve this problem the module GTCOM2 has been developed, which can simulate PSTN line, receive DTMF Contact ID messages and convert them into readable format as well as to send SMS message to a user via GSM network. The module is compatible with any security control panel, which supports DTMF (tone) dialing and Ademco Contact ID data format according to SIA SIA DC-05 standard. The GTCOM2 module may be applied for protection of house, garages, cottages, vehicles as well as for access control, gate control, objects’ automation, smart house and temperature control. For premises protection and in many other applications.

GTCOM2 module simulates operation of dial-up line and received Contact ID messages from the security control panel. All information from the security control panel to the module is being transferred in DTMF tones.

From the security control panel receives CONTACT ID message as follows: ACCT MT Q XYZ GG CCC S

The following message codes are being described in order to convert CONTACT ID message into user friendly SMS text. To describe CONTACT ID message codes 4 tables are used. Event description text may be changed. Thus desirable text may be generated for every received CONTACT ID message. E.g. “Home Burglar alarm Bedroom”.  Every SMS  text can be customized into your native language.
