SMS450: Receiver logger with grouped text-message alarms
The SMS450 is a receiver logger from Eltek that gathers readings from your wireless transmitters and turns a threshold breach into an instant text-message alert. It supports grouped text messaging, so the whole responsible team is notified together, and includes a built-in 4G modem that sends those alerts by SMS text over mobile. A SIM card is required.
How it works
Collect readings. Alert the right team.
The SMS450 is a receiver logger for a wireless Eltek site. It gathers data from your transmitters and logs it, while its alarm function watches for threshold breaches.
Grouped text messaging sends alerts to a defined group of recipients, so escalation reaches everyone responsible at once, rather than a single contact.
A built-in 4G modem sends alarm and status updates by SMS text message over the mobile network, so alerts reach the team even where no one is on site. The SMS450 requires a SIM card for this, and the modem does not send monitoring data over the mobile network.
Readings feed into Darca Command alongside the rest of your monitored sites, where conditions, alarms and compliance records live in one place.
Its grouped text alerts back up Eltek monitoring across every monitored application.

Questions about the SMS450
Frequently asked questions
What is the SMS450?
The SMS450 is a receiver logger from Eltek with an alarm function, grouped text messaging and a built-in 4G modem. It gathers readings from your wireless transmitters and alerts the right team when conditions breach a threshold.
What is grouped text messaging?
Grouped text messaging sends an alarm alert to a defined group of recipients at the same time, so the whole responsible team is notified together rather than one person.
Does the SMS450 send data over the mobile network?
No. The SMS450 has a built-in 4G modem, but it uses it to send alarm and status updates by SMS text message, not to send monitoring data over the mobile network. A SIM card is required. If you need readings relayed over mobile, the SRV450 communicates over 4G LTE-M.
How does the SMS450 differ from the SRV450?
Both are receiver loggers. The key difference is how they use mobile: the SRV450 sends monitoring data over the mobile network (4G LTE-M), while the SMS450's built-in 4G modem sends SMS text alerts only, not data. The SMS450 adds grouped text messaging so an alert reaches a whole team at once; the SRV450 handles up to 125 channels.
