The SECOLINK Europe SIM is a specialized telecommunications card tailored for SECOLINK products, specifically designed for use with GSV0 series communicators such as the GSV0q, GSV0c, GSV0e, GSV0e4, and GSV0g (collectively referred to as GSV0).

    • instant delivery of notifications from the system to the app SECOLINK PRO, compared to SMS services;
    • system control available from smart devices that use Wi-Fi only (e.g., tablets);
    • real-time update of the security status icon (armed/disarmed) in the app;
    • ability to view technical information about the system;
    • ability to see how long ago motion was last detected in zones (useful for monitoring elderly people);
    • option to add compatible video surveillance cameras to the app;
    • system control is carried out exclusively through the app.
Purchase a SIM card

1. GSV0 firmware version

To use the SECOLINK Europe SIM card in the GSV0 communicator, the communicator firmware version must be 1.39 or higher.

The current version of the communicator can be found by sending the SMS command "i":

  1. Send an SMS message to your communicator, starting with your PIN code used to control the system, followed by the status request command "i". For example, SMS: 1111i – where "1111" is the user PIN code, and "i" is the command (see Figure 1).
  2. Depending on how the communicator is programmed, it will respond with either plain text or an "encoded" response. If you receive an "encoded" response and are using the SECOLINK PRO app, you can view the information there for easier access (see Event Log).
Figure 1. Firmware version

2. Upgrade the communicator (if the version is older than 1.39)

There are two ways to upgrade the communicator:

1. Upgrade via internet:

  1. To start the upgrade, text your communicator. Begin the SMS message with your PIN code, followed by the word "UPGRADE". For example, if your PIN is 1111, you would text: 1111UPGRADE (refer to Figure 2 for more details).

2. Upgrade via USB:

  1. To update the communicator, a computer with the MS Windows operating system, a USB cable with a micro-B connector, and additional software from www.secolink.eu are required. Detailed instructions for updating the communicator can be found here.
Figure 2. Firmware upgrade

3. Find out your communicator's BI code

  1. To find the BI code, text your communicator. Start the SMS message with your PIN, followed by the letters "Bi". For example, if your PIN is 1111, you would text: 1111Bi (refer to Figure 3 for more details).
  2. Depending on how the communicator is programmed, it will send you a response in plain text or "encoded". The 10-digit code sent is used to identify the communicator. Save it - you will need it later.

4. Change the SIM card

2. The communicator can be installed inside the security system box (see Figure 5, A) or removed from the box and installed next to it (see Figure 5, B). If the communicator is installed inside the security system box, opening it may trigger an alarm. If the system is connected to a security service, inform the security service before changing the SIM card. To silence a false alarm, use the system's keypad.

3. Remove the old SIM card from the communicator (see Figure 6). You may need a small tool, such as tweezers, a needle, or a small screwdriver, to help remove the SIM card from the slot.

4. Insert the new SECOLINK Europe SIM into the communicator (see Figure 7).

5. Once you put in the new SECOLINK Europe SIM card, your communicator will take care of everything. It will automatically recognize the card, set itself up, connect to the internet, and register with a cloud called ALARMSERVER.NET. This lets you control your security system remotely using app SECOLINK PRO.

5. Adjust the settings within the SECOLINK PRO application
