Note: A remote connection will cancel the confirmation waiting. Also, the analyzer events
occurred during a remote connection will not generate any alarm SMS, even after the remote
connection ends.
Example of alarm SMS: “Temp Err;L Ph;H Temp;Pwr rst;” (see Errors, Alarms and Warnings
chapter for details).
Info SMS
When the instrument receives a phone call (coming from one of the programmed cellular numbers),
it interprets the calling as an information request and reacts hanging up and sending an info SMS.
The maximum number of characters for an SMS is 160, so, if the message text is longer, many
messages will be sent. In this case a message header is added with informations about the message
type and the current / total number of SMSs (for example INF1/2: ).
It is possible to ask the PCA310 - PCA340 for Info SMS from a cellular phone different from the one(s)
set in the analyzer. This is accomplished by sending to the instrument the SMS: “PxxxxAWE”, where
xxxx is the analyzer’s password (the one used for settings).
The instrument will recognize the command and reply sending the Info SMS.
If “RepeatNo” is more than 0, the instrument sends repeated (1 to 5 times) alarm messages if
confirmation is not received. This feature prevent losing of the message due for example to overload
of the telephone network. The “0” is associated with no repetition: only one message will be sent
and no confirmation waited.
The delay (5 to 60 minutes) between two subsequent repeated messages could be set on the “Delay”
line.
GSM
Note: If the analyzer is waiting for confirmation after sending an alarm SMS, the received
SMS will be just stored on the SIM until the confirmation is coming or all the repeated alarm
SMSs are sent.
The info SMS will always contain the Chlorine, pH, ORP and Temperature readings and the Settings
and Errors if enabled. Also, the remaining SMSs number will be added if “Chk. Charge” is active.
Example of info SMS: “Temp Err; L Ph; H Temp; READINGS: ReagRem=8413; Cl=2.05;
pH=7.02; Orp=700; Temp=25.2;”
