RSSGSM - Alarms on the GSM Cellular / Mobile Network

Know of an alarm, wherever you are

If you need to know of an alarm situation when you are away from home, then we have a selection of devices to suit your needs. It may be that all you require is a Sentinel SPEECH DIALLER. This unit is triggered by any of the Sentinel Radio Receivers and will call up to 4 telephone numbers (land line or mobile) and play back a message pre-recorded by you. But, maybe you do not have a telephone line at the site, or the telephone line is exposed to attack. We now move on to the RSS range of GSM (Mobile phone network) modules.

The RSS Range of GSM (Mobile Phone) Transmitters

For areas that are too remote to use conventional radio transmissions to a 'Sentinel' radio receiver, where land phone lines do not exist or could be subject to attack, RSS has designed and manufactures a range of GSM systems to let you know of an intrusion wherever you are. These GSM modules can dial out to mobile phones or to land lines. The modules can be powered either by a RSS supplied mains power supply with battery backup, or by a car type battery where mains is unavailable, or for truly remote locations. The modules can only be used with Sentinel 6 & 8 DETECTION DEVICES.

In cases where detectors with radio transmitters are used (GSM HUB and SUPER GSM), it should be noted that significant improvement in radio signalling is achieved by mounting the GSM module as high as possible: up a tree, on a barn, top of a silo etc. All distances shown below are approximate, much depends on the height of the GSM module and the topography of the local area.

All GSM modules are fully weatherproof and are supplied with relevant fixing brackets, pole clamps and cable lengths to your requirements. We also supply a pre-registered 'Pay As You Go' SIM card (usually ORANGE, subject to reception) with at least £5 of credit and a pre-registered 'Top Up Card'. The SIM card for the RSS-GSM and RSS-GSM HUB is pre programmed with the phone numbers you specify, although you can re programme at a later date. The SUPER GSM is simply programmed by text messages

OPTION 1: RSS-GSM

• An economic system with up to two PIRs hard wired back to the GSM module
• We supply cable lengths of 25 mtr to the PIRs FOC. There may be extra costs for additional cable
• Controlled by a key switch mounted on the GSM module or by a hard wired local key switch
• Calls up to three phone numbers TWICE each, to ensure contact
• By using Caller ID on your mobile phone, you can quickly identify the site of the alarm
• The module will continue to contact the pre-programmed numbers for an hour if not responded to
• The system rearms 10 minutes after the first alarm

OPTION 2: RSS-GSM HUB

• A very flexible version of the RSS-GSM, but using radio based detectors instead of hard wired
• 1500 mtrs radio range from detector to the GSM module
• The GSM module has the same functions and operation capabilities as the RSS-GSM other than:
• The GSM system can also be armed or disarmed by a radio based 4 button hand held remote or
• A digital radio based keypad with 4 number entry (user definable). Radio range to GSM 500 mtrs
• The unit has an output to a Strobe light to confirm arm or disarm operations or a Siren
• The strobe or siren can be given different times for arm/disarm and set to flash/sound on an alarm

OPTION 3: SUPER GSM

• A very high specification GSM module with a high degree of security, using radio based detectors
• Controlled by text messages sent from a mobile phone, with text reply confirming instructions
• Identifies up to 5 alarm zones, Low Battery warning for detectors and module, Tamper warning
• Used in areas where high system performance and system security are paramount
• The SUPER GSM has many built in functions, please contact us for further details.
