Hooking up a GSM dialer to my old Avenger 6000 board

[IEB]

Hi,

If you're Stateside, we cannot help much, but if you're elsewhere, our
product SMShield may be of interest to you.

With 10 inputs (one tamper, one low battery and one set/unset, seven user
programmable)
2 open collector outputs,
NOT built out of old mobile phones, professionally designed and
manufactured.
Any activity can be set to send a text message to up to three mobile phones
(and can dial any other number too), whether it be the state of your alarm
panel, or that your front door has opened for example.

It uses a dual band GSM module though, so won't work on 1900MHz networks.

You can get more info here www.smshield.com

In addition.....

I can see you ISP is Greece. If that's where it has to work, we have units
over there too.

Hi all:

I have an old Scantronic Avenger 6000 alarm board. I want to connect this to
a cheap GSM dialer. So that when an alarm is tripped I get the message...
I was wondering how this can be done. Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Nikolas

Sorry, not Canada either. I always forget to mention that, with you being
tucked away down there ;-)

www.gsmworld.com is a handy reference if you're interested.

Nikolas,

As long as we have a steady input voltage greater than 4.5V for an ON, and
less than 3.5V for an OFF, our unit will be able to sense the difference and
send a text message.

If you want to, we can continue outside the newsgroup if you e-mail me from
our site.

Whilst you were out, was someone else in?

Ian,

thanks for the info. The dual band should do, as there is at least one 900
mhz provider in Greece, and at least another one at 1800. How about the
inputs, can they be analog signals? I guess this is what an old board like
mine would output. And how much would this gadget cost (ball park).

Thanks again,

Nikolas

Didn't see or hear that report, sad that considering 1.1 million Canadians
served in WWII, including 106,000 in the Royal Canadian Navy and 200,000 in
the Royal Canadian Air Force, 42,042 killed, 54,414 wounded and 14,000
Canadians landed on D-Day.

Given the population at the time, that must have been a considerable
percentage.

(info from http://www.cbc.ca/news/dday/) so don't accuse me if it's not
quite correct.
