    Hi
    My GSM dialler keeps saying initialising until I power it down and back up again. This has happened twice in last 5 days.

    Please advise as to what may be wrong.
    Thank you
    Tom

    Ask a mod to have this moved to Home Security Systems.

    Moved from Information Security

    Is it possible the sim has expired.
    Try remove the sim and test it inin a phone.

    Hi.
    I did get the GSM to send a text message and this worked. I also tested the SIM card in my mobile and that worked too. The sim has 10 balance.

    And the Pin is turned off?
    My next step would be to check the signal at the location and the aerial connections.

    Hi.
    Yes the pin is turned off. I was getting 3 bars for mobile signal but I have now repositioned the antenna and now getting 4 bars. Could the low signal may have been an issue? I will check the antenna connection.

    Thank you

    3 bars should be fine. Power it down and up again & see if there is any change.

    It's working ok at the moment since I last powered it down. I am just wondering if when mobile signal drops and the box goes into initialising mode.

    It should really recover the connection itself.
    What network are you on?

    Which is now Three. Not great for reconnects at the best of times.
    Also do you know if it's an old sim capable of 2G connection.

    Its the GSM itself.
    Have seen this a few time and been told to replace the unit by Pyronix themselves.

    Where are you located . I have one of them I took out of somewhere recently.It might be worth a try to confirm or eliminate the unit as the problem.

    All you can do is replace the unit.
    Ive come across this a few times and Pyronixs support told me that the unit needed to be replaced. Its something to do with the loader on the device.
    There are cheaper units that can be used on the suppliers list.

    Most of these units are set up to be triggered off the bell output.
    If that is your case then you should be able to swap out the GSM with a new one and program the dialer to send you a text in the event of an alarm activation. By buying from new you will also have the engineer code to do same.

    You should be able to to swap out like for like.
    If you want that unit pm and I'll get it sent to you.
    It would have the default codes and manual.
    It would be worth a try before buying a new one.

    We don't go into pricing here. If you contact some of the suppliers in the sticky they will be able to advise you.
