ERL10-GSM1 Auto SMS Message Alert Package

Description

Operation

The GSM-1 SMS Text Message Dialer is pre-wired to the ERL-10 Programmable Relay Module so SMS text messages are automatically sent when local lightning is detected.   The GSM-1 allows up to 16 phone numbers and can be controlled with a cell phone sending it SMS commands to add and remove numbers.  A laptop USB connection can is needed to configure the ERL-10 alert parameters and count down timers using the provided software.

In the standard configuration, the ERL-10 receives data from the EFM-100C Electric Field Monitor sensor.  When lightning is detected, the relay module signals the GSM-1 to send text messages to the cell phone numbers programmed into the GSM-1. Once lightning is no longer detected another message will transmit indicating an all clear status.   Lightning alert distance thresholds, high electric field thresholds and time to All Clear are completely configurable. 

A valid GSM/GPRS micro SIM card with a text plan from a cell phone provider is required for operation.
