    Lads I have this unit on my HKC alarm. Works fine. I can part set etc. at night from my phone by dialling into the SIM.

    I got an error last week it righted itself , I should have put credit on sim , which I have done today , it has been working the last few days no bother.


    I can only find the HKC info on the product. I know it is old technology
    I cannot seem to find any instructions , all I want to know is can you program the GSM Q unit to send a test text every week or month?

    Is the only way to find out if its working , to set off alarm, on purpose?

    Thanks Padddy

    Send a message to the number whatever it is 087 xxxxxxx

    Status XXXX


    XXXX is your own code.
    Make sure you leave a space between status and your own code and it should send you one back

    UPDATE: I SENT code XXXX then you must leave a space then I sent HELP. (found MANUAL)

    reply:
    alarm: commands
    code ARM/unset
    code status
    Code Log.

    I PRESUME THE INSTALLER OR gsm IS DEFAULT SET FOR THOSE commands only.

    I know I can part arm ...A/B also , as I do occasionally.

    all good.

    I would like to know if anyone knows can you set the settings to test weekly?
    Why I ask is the last alarm I had (not HKC) had a standalone dialler and it sent a test every Sunday which was very handy and reassuring.....

    thks all

    Yes, your code then space then status

    You can program a self test in the comms menu of the panel but you need the engineer code for that
