1 General

1.1 Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Maretron SMS (Text) Module (SMS100). Maretron

has designed and built your SMS module to the highest standards for years of reliable,

dependable, and accurate service.

Maretron’s SMS100 SMS (Text_ Module is a device which can programmatically send SMS

(Short Message Service, or text message) alerts over the GSM/UMTS network to multiple

mobile telephone users. Maretron’s SMS100 SMS Module works in concert with Maretron’s

N2KView®Vessel Monitoring System and Maretron’s DSM150 and DSM250 displays. Upon

detection of an alert condition, N2KView (with the optional Alerts module), a DSM150 display,

or a DSM250 display can instruct the SMS100 to connect to the mobile network and transmit a

user-selected alert message to user-programmed telephone numbers, alerting you quickly to

conditions onboard your vessel that require attention anywhere you have cellular network

coverage. You may also send a text message from your mobile phone to the SMS100, which

will reply with basic ship’s status.

The SMS100 has an NMEA 2000®port for communication with the attached NMEA 2000®

network and an SMA antenna connector for connecting the included mobile antenna.

The Maretron SMS100 is designed to operate within the harsh demands of the marine

environment. However, no piece of marine electronic equipment can function properly unless

installed, calibrated, and maintained in the correct manner. Please read carefully and follow

these instructions for installation, calibration, and usage of the Maretron SMS100 in order to

ensure optimal performance.

1. Unpacking the Box (Section 2.1)

2. Choosing a Mounting Location (Section 2.2)

3. Installing the SIM Card (Section 2.3)

4. Mounting the SMS100 (Section 2.4)

5. Connecting the SMS100 (Section 2.5)

6. Configuring the SMS100 (Section 3)

1.5 Theory of Operation

The SMS100 accepts commands over its NMEA 2000® network connection which have

generated by N2KView software with the optional alerts module or from DSM150 or DSM250

displays and transmits these text messages over the cellular network to user selected

telephone numbers.

1.5.1 SIM Card

In order to use the SMS100, you must install a SIM card with an active SMS plan that is

capable of connecting to a mobile network in the area in which you are using the SMS100.

2 Installation

2.1 Unpacking the Box

When unpacking the box containing the Maretron SMS100, you should find the following items:

•1 – SMS100 SMS (Text) Module

•1 – Parts Bag containing 4 Stainless Steel Mounting Screws

•1 – SMS100 User’s Manual

•1 – Warranty Registration Card

•1 – TG.10.0113 Cellular Antenna

If any of these items are missing or damaged, please contact Maretron.

2.2 Choosing a Mounting Location

Please consider the following when choosing a mounting location.

1. The SMS100 is waterproof, so it can be mounted in a damp or dry location.

2. The orientation of the SMS100 is not important, so the SMS100 can be mounted on a

horizontal deck, or a vertical bulkhead.

3. The SMS100 is temperature-rated to 55°C (130°F), so it should be mounted away from

engines or engine rooms where the operating temperature exceeds the specified limit.

2.3 SIM Card

2.3.1 Purchasing a SIM Card

In the United States, the SMS100 is certified for the AT&T mobile network.

Revision 1.0 Page 3

®®

AT&T Prepaid (goPhone) SIM cards may be purchased at an AT&T retail location or from a

large number of online retailers (search “gophone SIM card”).

The SIM card will come with instructions for activating the card online and adding funds to the

card. The SIM card must be activated before you can transmit messages with the SMS100.

When this manual was written, there were two prepaid plan options:

•The $25/month plan with unlimited text messaging

•The 10 cent per minute plan (no monthly fee, but $0.20 per message sent or received).

Please check Maretron’s website for the latest information.

2.3.2 Installing the SIM Card

In order to use the SMS100, the SIM card must be installed into the SMS100. To install the

SIM card, please perform the following steps:

1) Remove the four screws from the bottom of the SMS100 enclosure.

2) Separate the top and bottom of the SMS100 enclosure.

3) Slide the lid of the SIM card socket to the “OPEN” position and flip up.

4) Slide the SIM card into the lid of the SIM card socket so that the gold contacts are

visible and so that the corner of the SIM card that is cut off is at the top of the SIM card

socket lid.

5) Close the SIM card socket lid and slide it to the “LOCK” position. Be careful not to force

the lid into position. It should close easily. If it does not, check the orientation and

alignment of the SIM card.

6) Reassemble the top and bottom parts of the SIM100 enclosure with the four screws

removed earlier, ensuring that the gasket is seated properly.

The SIM card is now installed.

2.4 Mounting the SMS100

The SMS100 may be mounted to a horizontal or a vertical surface; the only requirement is that

the antenna be oriented vertically after the unit is mounted.

The SMS100 may be mounted using the two keyhole screw holes on each end.

To mount, attach the SMS100 securely to the vessel using the included stainless steel

mounting screws or other fasteners as shown in Figure 1. Using the mounting template in

Section 10, drill two holes for the included mounting screws and install the screws, leaving the

head of the screws protruding above the mounting surface. Place the SMS100 over the

mounting screws and slide so that the heads of the mounting screws are over the narrow

portions of the keyhole slots, then tighten the mounting screws until snug.

Figure 1 – Mounting the SMS100

2.5 Connecting the SMS100

2.5.1 NMEA 2000®Connection

The NMEA 2000®connector can be found on the side of the enclosure. The NMEA 2000®

connector is a round five pin male connector (see Figure 2). You connect the SMS100 to an

NMEA 2000®network using a Maretron NMEA 2000®cable (or an NMEA 2000®compatible

cable) by connecting the female end of the cable to the SMS100 (note the key on the male

connector and keyway on the female connector). Be sure the cable is connected securely and

that the collar on the cable connector is tightened firmly. Connect the other end of the cable

(male) to the NMEA 2000®network in the same manner. The SMS100 is designed such that

you can plug or unplug it from an NMEA 2000®network while the power to the network is

connected or disconnected. Please follow recommended practices for installing NMEA 2000®

network products.

2.5.2 Cellular Antenna Connection

The SMS100 has one external SMA cellular antenna connector. This connector is intended for

use only with the included TG.10.0113 cellular antenna. Screw the antenna onto the SMA

connector and tighten until snug. Rotate the antenna so that it is a vertical orientation for best

signal reception.
