WatchlinkGSM

Technical Features

The WL-30 GSM Pod is a highly integrated module that includes a modern quad band GSM/GPRS engine and all the supporting circuitry such as switched mode power supply, SIM card connector, serial interfaces and industrial strength I/O. All these features are packed into a small form factor, approximately 65 x 85mm board. The Pod is designed for ease of mounting to suit many applications ranging from DIN rail enclosures to flat panel mounting and board to board connection.
The Pod can be programmed easily over a standard serial cable using the Configurator software. By using the User Control mode in the Configurator software, you can be up and running very fast with standard I/O applications for remote sensing and control over the GSM network. You can easily program the Pod with the alarm and control messages that need to be sent and received using SMS text messages and your mobile phone.
