GSM Remote Control Features

  • Quad band - will work anywhere in the world.
  • Secure caller ID allows controlled access of up to 99 authorized users, the users telephone numbers are added to the white list, only the numbers in the white list are able to activate Dial-2-Start, users can be added and deleted as required using text messages
  • There are no call costs incurred when dialling the unit, it will recognise an authorized telephone number calling it and reject the call without answering.

  • Please Note: The Dial-2-Start Remote Control Switch Comes Pre-Wired and Ready to Use. NO Wiring Will Need to be Completed by the Customer.
  • Dial-2-Start has two independent relays with normally open and normally closed contacts, these can be programmed to switch on for between 1 second and 18 hours, in addition a delay time between relay 1 and 2 switching can be set, programming is achieved by sending text messages to Dial-2-Start, once programmed you simply call the unit to activate the relay operations already programmed
  • The programmed operation can be temporarily overridden and the relays switched on for up to 18 hours by sending the unit a text message command, a confirmation text will be returned when the relay(s) is switched on and another when it is switched off
  • The relays can be permanently switched on or off by sending Dial-2-Start a text message, again a confirmation text will be returned

  • A 24 hour timer allows the relays to be switched on and off for a set time, for example relay 1 switches on at 0600 (6am) and off at 1900 (7pm). Once this function is activated the caller ID and override functions are disabled.
