How to Solve MOBITEK S150 Rebooting Every 1 Minute

PROBLEM SOLUTION
Find out why S150 keeps rebooting every 1 minute.

 

 The problem will occur when S150 is unable to reply by SMS to the “1234CC” and “1234DD” commands.

In our case, the cause is SMS quota in the Yoodo SIM card has been exchausted, so S150 is not able to reply via SMS to any command send to it. When it failed to send out SMS, it would self-reboot. This will be repeated for every 1 minute until SMS is successfully send out.

Solution: Keep the credit balance available all the time to avoid the S150 rebooting every 1 minute in order to resend SMS.

Transactional SMS Examples

How to Configure 2 Units of MOBITEK S150 to Connect 2 Electrical Equipments on Separate Locations

  1. For S150 unit #1, it will be configured as follows:-
    • the SMS content should be set to 1234CC and 1234DD
    • when S150 unit #1 detects an alarm, it sends out a SMS to S150 unit #2
  2. For S150 unit #2, there is no need to do any configuration in “Alarm Configurator” software
    • the device or equipment must be connect to relay output no. 2 (only this output can accept SMS command to turn on or off) of S150 unit #2 :-

  4. The “Relay” LED will turn off when “1234DD” SMS command is received.

 

Problem with Relay Output of S150

  2. Only “Relay Output” (digital output) no. 2 can accept SMS command.
  3. S150 acts as a switch (turn on or off).
