11 Internet remote access
The web site www. GS ML ink .cz enables car alarm remote control (to
users) and setting (to installers). The following features are enabled:
To get internet access to an installed and powered car alarm you will
first be asked to register y our car alarm on the first page. You will find a
unique registration code for your car alarm on the warrant y card.
11.1 Reset GSM
If you need to disconnect and then reconnect the GSM module to the
GSM network, then use the command “MASTER RESET GSM”.
This does not affect any settings and is typically used for GPRS
activation or charging up credit. This command always requires the
Master code.
12 Central monitoring station communic ation
The GSM pager allows ce ntral monitoring via G PRS data protocol. The
central monitoring stat ion (CMS) gets ar ming, disarming and alarm
information. I t also regularly checks the com munication link to the car after it is
armed. So if anyone tries to tamper with GSM pag er communicati ons, it will
indicate an alarm at the CMS.
13 Additional features
13.1 Car battery low v oltage reporting
The GSM pager checks the voltage of the car battery . If the voltage is too
low (10V) it will notify users via an SMS message. This a voids complete
discharging of the car bat tery if y ou forget to turn of f your lights etc.
13.2 Back-up battery
The car alarm can be backed up by a BB-01 ba ttery. Thus, the car alarm
can keep sending information when the car bat tery is disconnected . Back up
time is provid ed for several hours. The manufactur er recommends regular
BB-01 checking once a year. The battery should be r eplaced every tw o years.
Low back up battery voltage of the (below 4V) is r eported to the user vi a SMS
(change the batter y in this ca se).
13.3 Voltage drop detector
The built-in voltage drop detector can trigger an alarm if an elect rical
device in the car is turned on while the car is armed. The sensor activates
10 minutes after arming (if enabled).
13.4 Entrance delay acoustic indic ation
The siren can indicate arming and disarming by beeps (se e DIP
parameter setting). The siren will also indicate the triggering of a wireless
detector which provides an entrance delay (by a single beep). This way
you can be reminded not to forget to disarm your car alarm after you
open the garage door etc.
13.5 Limited number of alarms
If any sensor (input) repeated ly triggers alar ms then t his particular in put will
be bypassed aut omatically after the third alarm (it will remain by passed until
the car alarm is d isarmed).
13.6 Car locati on
If your GSM provider o ffers a lo cation ser vice, you have to activate the
LOCATOR command after in stallation by the fo llowing SM S sequence:
MASTER LOCATOR xx…x
where: MA S TE R is installers code
xx...x is provider’s sequence to obtain the position of
the car alarm SIM card (check with your GSM
provider for details)
After this sequence has been sent successfully once, the car alarm
memorizes the parameters and from this moment on you can obtain the
location of the car by just sending the instruction LOCATOR.
Note: GSM location service may not be available in some countries.
13.7 Pre-paid SIM card ba lance
It is recommended not to use prepaid cards in the car alarm. If you have
no other choice than prepaid cards, you can enable the CREDIT
instruction by following sequence:
MASTER CREDIT uuu..u xx yyy zz
where: uuu…u is the provider’s code to obtain the balance
xx is the time period (in da ys) for regular checking
yyy is the threshold level below which the balance is
reported to the user (TEL1)
zz is the position of the first digit of the balance in the reply
SMS from the provider
• After this sequence has been sent once, the car alarm will check the
balance automatically every xx days and if the balance is lower than
yyy the user will be notified (T EL1)
• If the CREDIT instruction is enabled in the above way, the user can
also obtain the current balance by the instruction CREDIT
• To disable the automatic balance checking set the time perio d “xx”
to 00.
13.8 Roaming
If you travel abroad and your SIM card supports roaming, the car alarm
will work there too.
13.9 Siren activation
If you are searching for a stolen car, yo u can operate the siren
remotely by the follow ing SMS instructions:
MAST ER SIR EN tur ns the siren o n for 10 minutes
MASTER SIREN ON siren on pe rmanently
MASTER SIREN OFF sir en off
To avoid misuse of this option, only an installer can switch the siren on.

1 Before installation
The CA-1202 should o nly be inst alled by a professiona l installer. T he
manufacturer assumes no liability for dam ages caused by in correct
installation or use of this pr oduct.
The Athos car alarm is suitable for cars with 12V and negative grounding.
The main unit is designed for installation in the passenger cabin.
Disconnect the car battery before start ing insta llation; study t he car
ow ner man ual at f irs t. Avoid drilling into the m etal parts of the car b ody.
Note: Use only proper crimpin g tools and pa rts to make connectio ns. Cut
all unused wires a nd insulate them properly.
The thin w ire which leads d irectly out o f the central un it is the remo te
control and w ireless detector s’ antenna. The lo cation of th is wire affe cts the
communication ra nge. Place the antenna on a suitable plastic surf ace so
that the other wire s do not screen it.
2 Wiring
After you find a suita ble locatio n for the main unit, install the w ire harness,
see fig . 1:
• YELLOW – siren output (+12V / max. 1A).
• GREY – door switch input. It reacts to connection or disconnection
from the ground (auto matically recognizes log ic).
• WHITE – INP1 and YELLOW–W HITE – INP2 are alarm in puts –
react to connection or disconne ction from the ground (automat ically
recognize logic).
• BLUE – ignition key input (+12V). Be sure, that th ere is +12V w hile
the key is on and while starting.
• GREEN – LED indi cator – install it in a visible spot on the dashboard.
Connect the other en d of this lead to the GND.
• WHITE-BLACK (posit ion 10) – “Lock ” WHITE-BLUE (position 11) –
“Unlock” – Central locking control ou tputs. Whe n activate d, the
outputs switch to GN D (max. 200mA), with a selectable pu lse length..
Two pairs of central locking wires are availab le. For mode 1 use the
wires with black shrinkable tu be. Carefully push the ends of the
chosen wires into the main plastic connector. Be car eful to select the
correct wires as remova l from the main connector is very difficult
without the proper too l.
• BLACK – GND – connect to the original ground ing in the car.
• RED – power supply +12V - connect directly to the battery . Check
that the installation is properly fin ished and that the GSM ante nna is
connected before pow ering up!
• ORANGE – back-up batter y – connect optional battery BB-01
(Jablotron) if desired. if the BB-01 is not connected, then ground the wire.
• 2x BROWN – immobilization circuit (8A per manently, max. 12A /
3minutes).
• PINK – not used
3 SIM card insertion
1. Make sure, that the PIN password on the SIM is disabled. Y ou can
do this using a mobile phone ( e.g. for NOKIA: MENU, S ETTINGS,
SECURITY SETTINGS , PIN CODE REQUEST, OFF). If your SIM car d
does not allow sw itching the PIN off, change t he PIN to 0000.
2. Activate the SIM card if n ecessary (see provider’s instr uction s),
ensure that it works (by a mobile phone) and record its phone nu mber.
3. Using a thin pointed too l, press the colore d button to release th e SIM
cardholder. Inse rt the SIM card into the holder with the gold conta cts
facing up and th en reinsert the holder.
4 GSM antenna installation
DO NOT switch the power on before the GSM antenna is connected.
The provided antenna is adhesive and should be attached to the car window.
The antenna should not be obstructed by any metal part. It is recommend to
install the antenna in a place where it is not ea sily visible (tinted part of the
window, behind mirror etc.). If the car has an original GSM antenna installed,
it can be used (if the connector is different, use an appropriate adapter).
5 Initial powering-up of the alarm
Make sure, that the GSM antenna is connected, SI M card inserted and the
wire harness inst alled properly . Then connect po wer (car battery ). The LED
indicator will turn on and the siren w ill make a short chirp. Wa it until the LED
turns off (up to 1 minu te).
If the L ED starts to f lash, no GSM network was foun d. In such a case t urn the
power off, remove the SIM card a nd try to use it in a m obile phone ( at the
place where the GSM antenna is). Che ck also if the PIN protection is O FF (or
set to 0000) . If the SIM card log s into network successfully, re insert it in to the
alarm and repeat powering-up.
After the alarm is powered, you hav e to:
a) Se lect Mode 1 by command RESET EN 1
b) En roll remote controls and wireless detectors ( if used)
c) Set the prog rammable features ( phone numbers, DIP, SET, etc.).
These can be don e by:
• SMS instructions – see table 6.1. For example sending SMS: MAS TER
RESET EN 1 to the car alarm will select Mode 1.
• Internet page: ww w.GSMlink.cz
is the most convenient w ay. To
register there you need to know the registration code (printed on the
warranty card) and the master code (factory default is MASTER).
• SIM Card phone directory editing (see table 6.1 for list of features
which can be programmed this way). After the initial powering-up a list of
parameters is created in the SIM card phone directory. If you then insert
the SIM card in to a mobile phone, you can set particular features (by
entering numbers to the created list). The entry for Mode setting is not
automatically created, but it is possible to make a new entry name:
RESET EN and number: 1. Data entered this way are read by the car
alarm after the SIM card is reinserted. For security reasons it is erased
after reading.
