SIM Card Connectivity	ACC114	Equips the chamber with a SIM card reader, integrated into the chamber control system but accessible to the chamber user. The chamber user then procures a SIM card from a local mobile phone service provider (of the same type as used in mobile phones) and inserts this into the SIM card reader themselves. The user can then program the chamber, via the front panel controller, to use the SIM card reader to send preset text messages to phone numbers of the users choice, should predetermined conditions arise in the chamber. For example, the user could program the chamber to send him/her a text message alerting them if a predetermined alarm condition has been triggered. In addition, a remote user can use their own mobile phone to send predetermined text messages to the chamber, to get it to carry out a range of limited functions, such as silencing an active alarm. Note: excludes SIM card which user must procure and fit locally. Only available for Premium chambers (iP designations).
