Applications

Features

GTCOM2 can notify up to 8 users via SMS or calls, with customized SMS text in their native language. It also converts Contact ID events from the alarm panel into a format that can be read by SMS. Additionally, the module can automatically dial users and inform them about system alarms until the call is acknowledged.

•  Compatibility:
  • Compatible with PSTN landline communicators on any alarm panel
  • Receives Ademco Contact ID codes via PSTN DTMF from any central panel that supports phone number dialing using DTMF tones and meets the Ademco Contact ID data format according to the SIA DC-05 standard.
  • Sends events to monitoring stations using the widely-used SIA DC-09 protocol approved by the SIA Association.
  • Supports full transmission of Contact ID over IP SIA-DC09 event information to the security company’s monitoring station.
  • Provides a backup communication channel in case of primary channel failure.
• Advanced SERANOVA App for iOS, Android, and Web Browsers:

• Virtually unlimited event log.

Fast and Easy Installations

Installing the GTCOM2 is a breeze – all you need is an alarm panel to power it up. No router configuration is necessary either. With the ability to configure the communicator in SERA2, installation time can be cut in half! Additionally, the real-time diagnostic and testing feature of the device saves installers precious time. You can even maintain the GTCOM2 from the comfort of your own chair by remotely configuring and updating its firmware.

Easy Mounting

You can choose from 3 different ways of the mounting:

• Wall mounting (no need to open enclosure)
• DIN Rail Mounting
• VELCRO Hook and loop Self Adhesive Sticky Back tape fastener

How it works

Many security control panels use the PSTN land phone line and the Contact ID protocol to transfer events to monitoring stations. 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, most security control panels cannot send SMS notifications to users about alarms and other events.

To address this issue, the GTCOM2 module was developed. It simulates a PSTN line, receives Contact ID messages in DTMF tones, and converts them into readable formats. It can also send SMS notifications to users via the GSM network.

The GTCOM2 is compatible with any security control panel that supports DTMF tone dialing and the Ademco Contact ID data format according to the SIA DC-05 standard. It can be used to protect houses, garages, cottages, vehicles, as well as for access control, gate control, automation, and temperature control.

The GTCOM2 module simulates a dial-up line and receives Contact ID messages in DTMF tones from the security control panel. All information from the security control panel is transferred to the module in DTMF tones.

The Contact ID message received from the security control panel follows this format: ACCT MT Q XYZ GG CCC S.

To convert the Contact ID message into user-friendly SMS text, four tables of message codes are used. The event description text can be customized, allowing for desirable text to be generated for every received Contact ID message. For example, “Home Burglar alarm Bedroom”. Additionally, every SMS text can be customized to the user’s native language.
