To define the behaviour of other staff numbers or modify the behaviour of the pre-set
ones, use the command:
[type of alarm] [recipient][type of signalling]...[recipient]SENDALARM
[type of signalling]
[type of alarm] (please see table 1)
[receiver] index of a staff number
[signal type] SMS to receive a message, RING a ringtone
Some examples:
SENDALARM DIG2 1 SMS 2 RING 3 RING when there is an alarm on digital input
2, it sends a text message to contact
staff member 1 and a ring tone to staff
members 2 and 3
SENDALARM RPOWERF 2 SMS 6 RING when there is an alarm return due to no
power supply an alarm text message is sent
to staff member 2 and a ring tone to staff
member 6
SENDALARM with [alarm type] displays the alarm warning parameters for the type of
selected alarm
Example: by sending the command SENDALARM DIG2 the device responds with
DIG2=1M,2R,-,-,-,-,-,-,-,-, which means: send a text message to STAFF 1 and RING
STAFF 2 if there is an alarm on Digital 2
Note: a new setting SENDALARM for a given type of alarm will overwrite the
present one, for which it is necessary to indicate all the receivers of the
alarms in one single command.
NB:tocancelaSENDALARMsetting,enter‘0’astherecipient.
Example:
SENDALARM DIG2 0 cancels the send alarm settings
for DIG2 DIG2=-,-,-,-,-,-,-,-,-,-,
• Setthealarmringingtime(foradminonly)
If you have chosen to send alarms ringing through phone (see control sendalarm) you can
set the length of the ring with the command:
MAXRING [number] where
[number] duration of the ringing in seconds (values between 0 and 255).
By default, the duration of the ringing is 15 seconds.
• Plannedmessagesendingfunction(foradminonly)
The instrument is set by default to send to the admin number on a monthly basis (and
to the staff member 2 if defined) a text message with the value of produced energy.
The SCHEDTIME and SCHEDTXT commands enable the period and the text of the
message to be modified, respectively.
[period] [offset start] whereSCHEDTIME
[period]
interval expressed in hours between one forwarding and another.
[offset start] start delay expressed in minutes
For example:
SCHEDTIME 24 15 send text message every 24 hours, the first in 15 minutes
SCHEDTIME 260 60 send text message every 15 days, the first in one hour
SCHEDTIME 0 disable sending
[text] whereSCHEDTXT
[text] text message that will be sent
The text can contain a few special characters (symbols) which indicate the meter or
pulse meter values . These characters are solved by the instrument when the message is
sent.
For example:
SCHEDTXT Produced energy #P1 kWh
The text that will be sent could be “Energy produced 32 kWh” (with the value of meter
P1 at 32)
The possible symbols are the following:
Table 3
Tag Description
#PT1 pulse meter total (not zeroable) associated with digital input 1
#P1 pulse meter associated to digital input 1
#P1R pulse meter associated to digital input 1 with auto reset after forwarding
#D2 digital input 2 status. In the message are the words: OPEN/LO or CLOSE/HI
#O1 Output status 1. In the message are the words: ON or OFF
#O2 Output status 2. In the message are the words: ON or OFF
#CKS date and time of the forwarding of the last scheduled event
#CK current date and time
If tag #P1 or #P2 are followed by a numeric value this is used as a multiplicative factor
for the meter display.
Example:
SCHEDTXT Energy produced today #P1 1.34 kWh
The value of the pulse meter is shown as multiplied by 1.34 and on the forwarded
message in place of #P1 1.34 will be a number obtained by multiplying 1.34 by the
value of the pulse meter associated with digital input1.

• Settingtextmessagetime(foradminonly)
It is possible to synchronise the date and time of the instrument with the command:
RTCSMS
To synchronise, the instrument reads the date and time in the received text message.
If there is a prolonged black-out with the battery going flat, it is necessary to repeat the
command.
If this command is not carried out, the instrument substitutes date and time
with “--.--.-- --:--”
It is also possible to link this command to the end of any command text message.
For example:
OUTALARM 2 OFF POWERF AUTO RTCSMS
• Disablealarmmessages(Foradminonly)
Command MSG manages enablement or not of forwarding messages to the staff.
If MSG is OFF, the forwarding of all the messages or signalling of alarms managed by
SENDALARM is disabled
Enables the transmission of messages and ringtonesMSG ON
Disables the transmission of messages and ringtonesMSG OFF
OTHER FUNCTIONS
• Setthresholdproduction
By the command SETPOK you can set a threshold of production which, if exceeded,
generates an alarm condition (alarm POK). In this way you can, for example, to switch a relay
output when the power exceeds the threshold defined. The syntax is:
SETPOK [threshold] [differential] where:
[threshold]] represents the threshold in kW for alarm (POK)
[differential] represents the hysteresis in kW for the return alarm (RPOK)
For example:
SETPOK 48 3.5 if the power produced is greater than 48kW the POK alarm is generated.
When the power drops below 44.5kW (48-3.5) generates the alarm RPOK.
SETPOK NO remove the production threshold currently setting
Note: The behaviour of the instrument in case of alarm conditions (POK, RPOK)
is determined by commands OUTALARM (activation outputs) or SENDALARM (for
sending sms or ring).
• Automatic activation of an output on alarm conditions (for admin only)
It is possible to make the outputs switch automatically when there is one of following alarm:
Table 4
Type of alarm Alarm description
DIG2 Alarm from digital input 2
LOWBAT Low battery alarm
POWERF No network alarm
POK Production exceeds the threshold defined with SETPOK
The output OUT2 is preset to switch for 30 seconds when there is an alarm at
digital input DIG2.
The OUTALARM command enables the output behaviour to be modified.
OUTALARM [output number][output status][cause of alarm][reset alarm mode]
[output number] 1 or 2
[output status] ON, OFF or DISABLE
[cause of alarm] (please see table 4)
[reset alarm mode] MAN manual, AUTO at the end of an alarm condition or timing
(maximum around 18 hours) with unit of measurement:
s seconds, m minutes, h hours
Examples:
OUTALARM 2 OFF DIG2 MAN in the case of digital alarm 2 output 2 becomes OFF
and remains in such status
OUTALARM 1 OFF POWERF AUTO The output 1 goes OFF in case of no network and
remains in this status until an alarm return
OUTALARM 2 OFF DIG2 25 M output 2 goes OFF for 25 minutes in case of alarm on
digital 2
OUTALARM 2 DISABLE function disabled
• Setting the output status
The output status can be piloted simply with the command:
[output number][output status][status holding time][unit of measurement], whereOUT
− [output number] indicates the output to which reference is made (1 or 2)
− [output status] can assume the values ON, OFF
− [permanence status time] maximum settable time (~130 years) (optional parameter)
− [unit of measurement] s seconds, m minutes, h hours (optional parameter)
Some examples:
OUT 1 OFF 10 S sets the relay 1 OFF for 10 seconds
OUT 2 ON 12 S sets the relay 2 ON for 12 hours
• Sendtextmessagetosendersetting(foradminonly)
The instrument can be set to send the sender a text message of confirmation upon receiving
a command via a text message. The command is
[status] with status that can assume the values:OUTRISP
- ON enables the sending of a text message of reply to the sender
- OFF disables the sending of a text message of reply to the sender
If the status is omitted, the reply will be the current instrument status.
• Settingdisplay
The device can be queried to know the relevant configuration, using the command:
OUTINFO
Here is an example of a possible reply:
OUT 1=ON OUT 2=OFF OUTRISP=ON RINGRISP=ON OUTKEY=TOGGLE
meaning:
output 1 ON, output 2 OFF, reply to enabled text message, reply to enabled ring tone, and
change output status by pressing the relative key.
• Modifyoutputname(foradminonly)
To assign a name to the output that recalls the device to which it is connected, use the
command:
OUTTXT [output number] [output label]
Some examples:
OUTTXT 1 siren assigns the name siren to output 1
OUTTXT 2 valve assigns the name valve to output 2
OUTTXT 2 NO restores the original name to output 2
A string of a maximum of 10 characters with no spaces can be assigned as a
name. If an alternative number for an output is defined, it is possible to use this
name to indicate the output in the transmitted commands. For example:
valve ON 10 M activates output 2 (valve) for 10 minutes
INPUTS MANAGEMENT
GWI solar has two digital inputs whose status is signalled by two green leds (on input is
short-circuited, off input open) and an analog input.
The digital input DIG1 and the analog input are pre-set to be connected to the to the pulse
output of the energy meter and the radiation sensor, respectively. Their behaviour cannot be
modified.
The digital input DIG2 can, on the other hand, be used with the discretion of the user, for
example for connecting a burglar alarm system.
In particular, digital input 2, can be connected to:
– signals from switches (ON/OFF)
Note. The minimum measurable pulse length is 20ms (max frequency 25Hz).
• Setworkingmodefordigitalinput2(foradminonly)
To set the working mode of the of digital input 2 use the command:
[working mode][timing alarm][unit], whereDIG 2
[working mode] OPEN, CLOSE for the alarm with regard to the open or
closed status of the input,
[timing alarm] alarm delay time (around 18 hours)
[unit] h=hours, m=minutes s=seconds
Example:
DIG 2 CLOSE 20 M alarm if the status of input 2 remains closed for 20 minutes
• Settingalarmtext(foradminonly)
To set the text which will be sent to the staff numbers, use command:
[alarm text] # [alarm return text] whereDIGTXT 2
[alarm text] string of max 60 characters of text that are sent to staff in case of
alarm
[#] separator for alarm return text
[alarm return text] string of max 60 characters of text that are sent to staff in case of
alarm return
Example:
DIGTXT 2 burglar alarm # burglar alarm end
• Settingdisplay
To know the configuration of the DIG2 input use the command:
DIGINFO
Here is an example of a possible reply:
DIG 2=OPEN ALARM CLOSE 10S which means:
Digital input 2 open, alarm defined when input 2 remains closed for 10 consecutive seconds.
ADVANCED INSTRUMENT MANAGEMENT
• Modifyadminnumber(foradminonly)
The admin number can be modified by sending the following command (from the current
admin number):
[new admin number]ADMIN
The new admin number will receive a confirmation text message.
Note. If the admin number is lost, it can be changed only by forcing a reset, thus
losing all the previously enabled numbers.
To avoid having to re-enter them manually, please refer to section “Sim card
management”.
• Sim card management (for admin only)
The staff telephone numbers are saved in the memory of the device. In case of reset, this
implies the loss of all the enabled utilities. To avoid having to re-enter all the numbers
manually, it is possible to make a backup copy of the sim card through the following
commands, to be given by the administrator only:
creates a copy in the sim card of all the saved staff numbersSTORE
RESTORE only restores the numbers previously saved with STORE
Therefore, once all the telephone utilities have been enabled, it is advisable to make a backup
of the phone book.
• Forwardingmanagementfunction(foradminonly)
The instrument can be set to redirect to a specified number all the text messages it receives
and does not recognise as commands. The command is:
FORWARD [number]
By default the number to which these text messages will be forwarded is the admin
number.
FORWARD OFF disables the function.
The text messages which are forwarded to the specified number begin with the string
“FW: ”.
• Passwordmanagement(foradminonly)
A text message sent from the admin number enables an instrument protection password
to be changed, to be used in case you wish to send a command via text message from a
disabled number. The command is:
PASS [new password] with new password which should have a
maximum of 8 figures
For example:
PASS 11223344
• Assigningsystemname(foradminonly)
It is possible to assign a name to the plant where the Tlc-solar is installed.
In this way, each alarm text message or reply from the GWI solar will be headed by its
given name.
The command is:
[name system]NAME
A name with a maximum string of 20 characters can be assigned.
To cancel write:
NAME disabled
• Count sms sent (for admin only)
You can check the number of text messages sent by the tool with the command:
NSMS
The instrument responds to the sender with a text message containing the number of
SMS sent (in count includes both sms sms alert that the response to commands).
NSMS RESET lets you reset the counter.
• Keyoperatingmodesetting(foradminonly)
By briefly pressing a key, the relevant output can be adjusted. Output behaviour can be
defined with the following command:
[functionality] with functionality that can assume the values:OUTKEY
− TOGGLE
when the key is pressed the output switches ON/OFF in a bistable manner
− BLOCK disables the key functions (it will no longer be possible to access the
programming mode)
If the value is omitted, the current instrument status will be the reply.
SWITCHING ON/SWITCHING OFF AND RESET THE GWI SOLAR
• Turnofftheinstrument:
Hold approximately 10 seconds for either the “1-SET” or “2” until all LEDs off.
During the pression of the key, the output led blinks quickly and the led blinks
green (or yellow) for the first 5 seconds and green/ red for the other 5 seconds.
• Turnontheinstrumentwithoutreset
Press “2”. The LED will be green initially fixed and then begin to flashing green (or
yellow), indicating the correct reception of the GSM signal.
• Turnontheinstrumentwithreset
Press the “1-SET”. All LEDs will illuminate for a few seconds indicating that the reset
occurred, after which the LED begins to flash green (or yellow) indicating the
correct reception of the GSM signal.
Note: The reset erases all data, settings and users stored tool and restore
factory defaults (see box on).
