Introduction
The BRM128GM GSM/GPRS module is a communications device that connects used for
wireless Data-Logging, Alarm Monitoring and Control of remote equipments and systems. The
BRM128GM provides logging of data to internal EEPROM memory and to a web-server for
access through a web browser. Multiple users can interrogate the BRM128GM or be notified on
configurable events.
The BRM128GM GSM/GPRS module is specially designed as DIL-board for hardware and
application designers.
The built-in quad-band Telit GM862-QUAD GSM module and is compatible with all 850, 900,
1800 or 1900Mhz GSM networks.

SMS and GPRS Functions
Inputs / Outputs
Module programmed with 12 digital inputs, 8 analog inputs and 8 digital outputs 3.3V level.
All inputs and outputs has pin header connection.
0-1 and 1-0 event on the each digital inputs can be alarmed with individually alarm SMS-
message. Two alarm level can be programmed for each analog and temperature inputs. Three
state: < minimum level, > maximum level and normal, can be alarmed with individually alarm
SMS-message.
Each output individually can be set ON or OFF via SMS command message. Output can be
also programmed for set ON or OFF as time proportional pulse.
Inputs, Outputs, Temperature can be logged to the 128K of internal EEPROM memory and to
the Web-Server. Data may be accessed via the Client Website as online graphs, reports and
CSV downloads.
Inputs can be scanned up to every 60 seconds. Logging can be as frequent as every 60
seconds. Different logging rates can be applied when an alarm is present. Instantaneous or
averaged values can be logged.
All Inputs and states can be logged, and it can trigger alarms based on user-defined setpoints.
Alarming and user notification settings can be set for each input.
All alarm states also can be send to Web-server using GPRS-Internet network.
Logging settings for each input can be set to:
Logging Disabled
Log to EEPROM and Web-server
Temperature Monitoring
Two SMT160-30 Smartec Temperature Sensor can be connected to the Temperature Sensor
Inputs.
The temperature can be logged, and it can trigger alarms based on user-defined setpoints. The
sensor has an accuracy up to 1C from 45 to +135C.
The BRM128GM operates from a external +5VDC or 3.8VDC power source or external lithium
3.7V battery (optional). The analog input 8 used to monitor +5V power supply voltage. 3.7V
battery voltage monitored in GM862 module.
Users and Administrators
The BRM128GM supports up to 7 users. Each user can interrogate the device for the current I/
O status. Users can be notified based on changes to each input or output. Configuration tables
allow inputs and outputs to be allocated to specific users (administrators).
Security
Alarms
SMS messages can be sent to users when an input reaches an alarm state. The following
setpoint configurations are available:
- Alarm when 0-1 event at digital input.
- Alarm when 1-0 event at digital input.
- Alarm when above set point at analog input.
- Alarm when below set point point at analog input.
- Alarm when inside set points point at analog input.
- Alarm when above set point at temperature input.
- Alarm when below set point point at temperature input.
- Alarm when inside set points point at temperature input.
Module Programming/Configuration
The BRM1280GM can be configured:from PC through RS232 port or remotely with SMS
command. Configuration options include Alarm Message Content, System Settings, Users and
Administrators Phone Numbers, and Alarm and Data-Logging Settings.

Antenna connection
GSM antenna must be connected to MMCX connector in GM862 modem. Use only the 50Om
antenna of the necessary frequency range. Module can be complected with MMCX-SMA(f)
cable and SMA(m) GSM antenna.
Note: It is very important that the antenna is installed on a location where the GSM-network
coverage is sufficient. Please also check carefully that antennas are not installed nearby
technical devices, cables etc which could influence the GSM-radiation.
SIM card holder built-in GM862 module. It is inserted in GM862 modems push-push system.
You can use external SIM holder all SIM control line from GM862 connected to pin headers.
1.8V or 3V SIM card can be used.
