ARC-10

Introduction

ARC-10 is a top quality, easy to use GSM controller for alerting and remote control using SMS. The rail mount unit incorporates a Quad Band (850/900/1800/1900MHz) GSM/GPRS modem, two digital inputs, two power relay outputs and a serial RS-232 port. Up to five hundred users can be configured to switch a relay output via a toll-free phone call (e.g. for opening the garage door or a parking barrier). Ten users can be configured as alert recipients.
All SMS functionality remains intact during GPRS operation. This means one can use the unit as a wireless modem to communicate with a remote serial device e.g. a traffic light controller or a vending machine and simultaneously benefit from the SMS alerting and remote control functionality.

Features

• 2 digital inputs.
• 2 power relay outputs.
• One output can be configured to switch with a toll-free phone call.
• Simple SMS commands for both configuration & control.
• SMS commands can be passed through the local serial port for testing and commissioning.

Simple setup and operation

All setup and control can be done using a mobile phone. Simple ASCII configuration commands are used for unit setup and control. Several commands can be packed in one SMS. The RS-232 interface can be used to alternatively setup and test the unit using a PC or an ASCII terminal. The rich command set features commands for configuring input alarm parameters, defining users and controlling system outputs with time related parameters.
