Communication Module Ropam BASIC-GSM-PS-2 — GSM module for alarm and automation systems

Ropam BASIC-GSM-PS-2 is a GSM communication module designed to provide reliable cellular connectivity for alarm panels and building automation controllers. The module enables sending and receiving SMS messages, making voice calls for alarm notifications, and supporting remote control and status reporting over GSM networks. It integrates with security systems and access control units where mobile-network communication is required, offering a compact solution for sites without fixed-line connectivity or as a backup channel.

Advantages

The module provides GSM-based notification and remote management capabilities in a compact form factor compatible with common alarm and automation installations. It supports two-way communication for sending alerts and receiving remote commands, reducing the need for on-site interventions. Because it uses the mobile network, it can operate where landlines are unavailable or unreliable and serve as a redundant channel for increased system resilience.

Suitable for

• Alarm panels and intruder detection systems requiring SMS or call notifications
• Building automation controllers needing remote status reporting
• Access control systems requiring mobile fallback communication
• Remote monitoring of infrastructure in locations without fixed-line connectivity
• Sites where a redundant communication channel is needed for security systems

Key specifications

• Interface: serial / contact input compatible with typical alarm panel connectors
• Functions: SMS notifications, voice call alerts, remote control and status reporting
• Power: designed for low-power operation suitable for integration with security system power supplies
• Form factor: compact module for straightforward mounting inside control cabinets or enclosures
• Operating environment: intended for indoor installation in technical rooms or control panels

How to use

Install the BASIC-GSM-PS-2 inside the control cabinet or enclosure of the alarm panel or automation controller and connect it to the appropriate communication and power terminals according to the system wiring diagram. Configure the module to use the operator SIM card for SMS and call services, set notification recipients and remote control commands in the host system, and verify signal strength and service availability before commissioning. Test sending and receiving of alarms and remote commands to confirm correct integration with the security or automation system.

Usage recommendations

Place the module where cellular signal strength is adequate; if signal is weak, consider external antenna placement or repositioning of the enclosure. Use the module as a primary mobile communication channel where needed or as a backup to fixed-line connections. Ensure SIM card service plan supports required SMS and call volumes and follow local regulations for telecom devices and powered installations.
