1. Introduktion

The Sonew 7 Channel GSM Remote Switch Controller (Model: Sonewa4re30d9sh-12) is a 4G remote control switch designed to operate via the 4G mobile phone network. This device features seven independent relay switches, allowing remote activation of connected equipment. It supports control through dialing its cell phone number or by sending SMS text commands.

The controller identifies authorized phone numbers, rejecting calls from unauthorized numbers without incurring call charges. Its 4G, 3G, and GSM compatibility ensures functionality across various regions. Programming can be performed quickly via SMS or the on-board quick teaching button. All relay outputs can function in either switch mode or pulse timing mode, supporting both free control and security authorization number control modes. The device also allows disabling SMS replies to save costs and provides a history log for equipment operation. It offers two output modes: relay output with call mode and relay output with SMS control.

All seven relays can be controlled using specific SMS commands. These commands allow you to switch relays ON/OFF, set pulse timing, and change operational modes.

• Skift tilstand: Relays remain in their activated state until another command is received.
• Pulse Timing Mode: Relays activate for a predefined duration and then automatically switch off.
• Example Command (Illustrative): To turn on Relay 2, you might send an SMS like "RELAY2ON" (actual commands will be specified in the full manual or software).

3.3 Adgangskodehåndtering

The device supports remote password operations and password changes via SMS or PC software to enhance security. Ensure your password is kept confidential.

3.4 SMS Reply Function

The SMS reply function can be disabled to reduce operational costs. This setting can be configured through SMS commands or the PC software.

3.5 Equipment Operation History Log

The controller maintains a history log of operations. This log can be accessed and reviewed via PC software to monitor device activity.
