Description
Bidirectional remote control system that uses the GSM network for activations and controls via SMS and calls. This GSM remote control features two relay outputs with monostable or bistable operation and two optoisolated alarm inputs. It can store 8 numbers for sending alarms and 200 numbers for the gate-opening function. All settings are made via SMS or locally via PC (through the optional FT782M interface). GSM remote control power supply between 9 and 32 Vdc, maximum consumption 1A. The package includes: the device assembled and tested with the GSM module with SIM800C and GSM antenna. This bidirectional remote control allows control of boilers (without temperature control) or other connected devices.
The bidirectional remote control uses only the GSM network; therefore, as it cannot work on UMTS networks, it is not compatible with SIM cards that work only on that network. It can work without problems with SIM cards from WindTre, TIM, and Vodafone.
