Unmanned Site Alarm System
Having an unmanned site raises all sorts of questions about how you protect the sites security, the monitoring of any running equipment or processes to the welfare and safety of people or livestock.
Most of those questions can be fixed by installing various types of monitoring and or alarm systems.
Of course you can have the most advanced alarm system on the planet, monitoring every aspect of your unmanned site, with the loudest bells and strobes. But like the proverbial tree in the forest if there is no one around to hear and respond to the alarm you might as well just have an empty box on the wall.
This is where the M30 Unmanned Site Alarm Dialler comes in – The M30 connects to your current alarm system or you can wire in all your sensors and monitoring equipment direct to the M30. When the M30 receives an alarm signal it will automatically communicate this to the preprogrammed emergency contact list to inform the current on call personal that there is a problem on site.
The M30 can connect either to a local PSTN landline or to the GSM mobile phone networks; depending on what you have setup the M30 can send user recordable real speech alarm messages, SMS text messages or data to pagers.
If you worried about your landline failing or being deliberately tampered with, the M30 can monitor the connected PSTN land line, if this fails or is cut the M30 will automatically switch across to the GSM networks.
The M30 can also trigger an onsite alarm siren or strobe if you wish.
Below are some of the features available on the M30;
- 4,8,16 and 56 individual inputs/ channels.
- Individual user recordable speech and or SMS messages for each input.
- Voice, SMS, Pager alarm messages
- PSTN and or GSM phone network connection.
- Remote 247 Interrogation.
- Integrated Mains Failure detection.
- 24 Hour battery Backup
- Fully Menu and Keypad driven
- IP56 Industrial enclosure.
Because the M30 is designed and built by ourselves in the UK if there is a special function you need for your application then we will normally be happy to create it for you.
The above list is only a small selection of the M30 features, for more comprehensive information please contact us or visit the standard or optional features pages.

SMS Dialler
The Packs Infotel M30 SMS Dialler is a purpose built and designed machine for the types of harsh environments typically found in industrial and commercial applications.
THe M30 comes with 4,8,16 or 56 individual inputs as well as all the standard features you would expect from an industrial SMS Dialler including 24 hour battery backup.
The M30 is used all over the world in a diverse collection of applications such as Pharmaceutical, Power Generation, Security, Cold Storage, Oil / Gas Refineries, Building Management, Food production, Industrial Process Monitoring as well as the protection of humans and livestock.
SMS Text Messages
Each individual input of the M30 from 4 to 56 inputs has its own SMS message that is user configurable to about 25 ASCII characters plus each M30 has a station identification, this gives you an easy way to identify from which machine the SMS arrived.
When the M30 goes into alarm and sends the SMS messages to the predefined contact list the end user will receive an individual text message for each input/channel that is in alarm. So for instance if inputs/channels 1, 2, 3 and 4 were active the recipient would get four SMS messages.
SMS and or Real Speech Messages over PSTN or GSM networks.
The M30 is unique as it allows you the flexibility of not just sending SMS messages but voice messages as well.

- 3 separate Rosters (dial out lists).
- SMS and or Real Speech Messages over PSTN or GSM networks.
- Integrated battery backup.
- Integrated Mains Failure.
- Integrated Alarm output.
- Fully Menu and keypad driven.
- Industry standard IP56 enclosure.
The above list is not definitive, also as the M30 is designed and built by ourselves in the UK if there is a feature or function you need for your particular applications then please let us know as we can normally create it for you.

SMS Text Message Feature
As of the winter of 2012/13 we have added another new feature to our M30 Alarm Dialler, the ability to send SMS messages in addition to the standard voice messages.
Each input/channel on the M30 can be configured with a user defined text message of around 25 ASCII characters – so instead of a recipient getting a useless “channel 1” alarm they can receive a useful “Mains Failure Boiler one” message.
This feature is in addition to the standard voice message option so you can still setup and send user recordable voice messages over the PSTN networks or over the GSM networks with the GSM converter.
Setup
Setting up your M30 is very simple; while entering your alarm contacts phone numbers you can select whether the recipient should get a SMS or a voice message.
The station identification is a maximum of 31 ASCII Characters.
All inputs can have an individual identifying text message of up to 25 ASCII characters.
Operation
When the M30 detects an active alarm/s it will send an individual SMS message for each active input to the predefined recipients. E.g. if 4 inputs are active then the on call engineer would get 4 SMS’s.
Message Example
Each SMS message is created from the M30’s Station ID (in <> brackets) and the inputs individual message and then followed by an *End of Message*.
E.g. If channel 1 is in alarm the M30 will send a text message as follows:
<Packs Infotel Office> Channel 1 Alarm Condition *End of Message*
or
<Sunningdale Landfill> Mains Failure Boiler one *End of Message*

SMS over GSM
This module works in addition to the standard PSTN and GSM voice modules. It allows you when configuring the unit to specify whether an alarm call recipient gets a Voice message or an SMS.
If you specify SMS, the recipient will receive an individual SMS for each active alarm channel.
Each channel has a unique configurable text message, so you are not stuck with standard text e.g. “Fire in hanger 1” instead of “Channel 1 Alarm” etc.

How to change the Model 30 Alarm Dialler Software
The software that controls the M30 can be found on the CPU board, located on the back of the M30 membrane/front panel.
IMPORTANT: Before changing the M30 software ALL power MUST be disconnected from the M30. To do this first remove the
Mains power, this could be done at the source, or by simply pulling out the fuse holder located on the Mains block inside the
M30.
It should be noted that the M30 still has power (I.e. The display is still showing information). This is due to the battery back-up
inside the M30. To disconnect the battery back-up simply press the OFF button located on the Power Supply board, as shown
in the diagram below, (N.B. The termination plate needs to be removed before access can be made to the mains block and OFF
button).
When all power has been removed from the M30, there will be NO input indicators lit and the LCD display will be blank, the
software can now be safely changed.
To obtain access to the software remove the 4 retaining screws shown in the diagram above. The Membrane can now be
removed from the chassis. (Note: there is a cable that connects the CPU to the Power supply, this does not need to be
disconnected, but it may be easier to fit the software by removing the cable from the CPU board).
The software is stored in the EPROM and can be located by a White label clearly showing the current software version.
Below is an example of an EPROM with the software version M30V40STD8, yours may well be different.
 Before removing the old software, note the direction the small notch at the top of the EPROM is facing. Now using a small
screwdriver, remove the old software and replace it with the new software, ensuring that the notch is facing in the same
direction as the old software.
The M30 can now be put back together, I.e. reconnecting the ribbon cable (if removed), placing the CPU/membrane back in to
the chassis, re-inserting the retaining screws. Once done the only thing left to do is reconnect the Mains and allow the M30 to
re-initialise.
IMPORTANT: It is absolutely vital that the M30 is now tested for all events. (I.e. All alarms are checked and the M30 is tested
for dialling out, and interrogation.
IF THE M30 HAS THE KEYPAD FACILITY, THE TELEPHONE NUMBERS WILL NEED TO BE RE-ENTERED.
