Installing SIM card
Before installing SIM card, switch OFF POWER, ensure that the card has
been registered, activated, and has some calling credit. Check it works in a
mobile phone first. Ensure it has the pin code request disabled, and is a
GSM SIM card operating on 850 / 900 / 1800 or 1900 MHz.
IMPORTANT:
The SIM card holder is FRAGILE.
Do NOT force. Do NOT use a
screwdriver.

Programming
Programming is carried out by sending SMS texts to the unit.
1) First check reception. Send the following SMS to the unit...
*20#
The unit should reply SIGNAL LEVEL = ?
Where ? will be between 1 and 31
Below 14 can cause problems with relay
operation, or no voice from the gate to the
house. Take action to improve reception.
1-12
Poor
13-20
Medium
21-31
Good
2) Program the numbers you wish the unit to dial when the call button is
pressed, up to a maximum of 3 numbers. Each SMS must start with the pass
code, default 1234, in the following format *12*1234#, followed immediately
by a command. E.g to program the telephone number 987654321, enter the
following SMS..
Up to 3 numbers can be sent together in a single SMS as
111 = Telephone number 1
112 = Telephone number 2
113 = Telephone number 3
Note: If using more than 1 button panels, further dialling out numbers can be
programmed as follows.. With this format being used up to 8 buttons.
Button 2..
121 = Telephone number 1
122 = Telephone number 2
123 = Telephone number 3
Button 3..
131 = Telephone number 1
132 = Telephone number 2
133 = Telephone number 3
3) It is recommended to change the “no answer” time if there is more than 1
number stored. This stops the unit ringing a number after a set time, and
can be used to prevent voicemail answering the call. Send the following
SMS..
*12*1234#52??#
(?? can be 2 digits from 10-99 seconds, default is 20).
Caller ID access control Programming
The unit can allow up to 100 telephone numbers to be stored, for users to
be able to ring the system for automatic entry. This uses caller ID like a
phone to determine the identity of the caller. When a recognised number
calls the unit, it will trigger output 1 or 2 and hang up without answering
the call.
First, the unit must know what country it is operating in.
1) Program the country code as follows..
*12*1234#71??#
2) Enter the telephone numbers required to have access control. Do not
enter country code, just the complete number as you would dial it, as
follows..
Programming telephone number 987654321 to have access by caller ID...
*12*1234# 72 1 987654321#
Pass code
Relay
Function code
USA customers – For some networks, you may need to enter the numbers with the long distance 1
before area code, then the number. Try with and without this to see which method works for your
network.
E.g. 1-702-555-1234
Where ?? can be 1-3 digits long. For USA, enter 1 as the country
code. For UK, enter 44 and so on. Do not use any leading zeros.
Up to 3 numbers can be sent together in the same SMS.
Just add 72 then the number of the relay,1 or 2, then the
phone number followed by # each time. The pass code
only needs to be put at the beginning of each new
Data
message.
Please allow 20-30 seconds for the unit to boot up and detect the network.
Once successful connection has been made, the unit will sound a
confirmation tone and the status LED will begin flashing. If there is a fault or
problem, the unit will emit a series of bleeps or warning tones.
Please note: Even if the unit has been programmed to dial out to a number, and you also
want this number to have access by caller ID, then you must also enter it again under the 72
feature as described above.

Q. The unit will not power up. No LEDs on.
A. Check power supply voltage is within 11.5V-15.5V DC.
Q. The unit powers up but there is a bleeping from the door
station.
A. This means the unit is not able to detect the network for some
reason.
-Check the SIM card is activated and has calling credit.
-Power off the unit, remove the SIM and check it in a mobile phone to
verify it can make a call.
-Check the SIM does not ask for a PIN code when put in a phone. If it
does, then disable the PIN code request.
-Check the SIM is a standard GSM SIM, not 3G or 4G only SIM. If you
are unsure, contact your SIM card provider to verify. Frequency of
operation should be any one of the international quad band standards,
850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz.
-Check the reception is good. Poor reception is not sufficient.
-Check the antenna has been mounted as high as possible, not near
large metal objects, or wet green shrubs etc.
-Check the antenna connection. Visually inspect that the centre pin
inside the antenna is intact, and has not been pushed back inside the
fitting.
Q. The unit calls the first number, but there is not enough time to
answer before it diverts to the next number.
A. Increase the no answer time as per programming instructions.
Q. The unit calls the first number but voicemail comes on before
it can ring the second number.
A. Decrease the no answer time as per programming instructions.
Q. The caller ID part does not work.
A. Be sure to program the caller ID part under 72 feature. If your
number is a private or number withheld, then it will not work.
Sending SMS Commands
All of the features shown on the Android app are also
available for non Android users, or non smart phone users.
You can simply send the same SMS commands manually
to the intercom as detailed below...

Check stored numbers. Unit will reply with list of stored
numbers. I = dial in number. O = dial out number.
Check gate / door status. Unit will reply Relay = On/Off,
Detect = On/Off
SIM cards & Credit
Q. There is no audio from the gate, but the person at the gate can
hear ok.
A. This can be due to low reception.
-Check reception level by *20#.
-Change SIM card if necessary to another network which may have
better coverage.
-Purchase a high gain antenna.
This may also be caused by either a defective microphone, or
incorrect microphone wiring, or a short circuit by whiskers between the
centre core and the shielding, or excessive microphone cable length.
Q. The audio quality that can be heard on the remote telephone is
poor or humming (buzzing).
A. This can be caused by excessive cable length on the microphone
cable, or by not using screened microphone cable, or by installing the
GSM antenna lower than the height of the speech panel.
-If non of the above work, try earthling the speech panel chassis to 0V
of the power supply.
-This is also a symptom of poor reception. Try above steps on
checking and improving reception.
Q. The * or # key does not work when the intercom calls a phone.
A. Check if you can hear the relay clicking at the gate when the * or #
key is pressed during a call. If it can be heard, then the system is
working, check wiring between the relays and the lock or gate panel. If
the relays do not make a clicking sound, then check this feature on a
different mobile cell phone or landline. If it works on a different phone,
check the settings on the phone in question under DTMF tones.
Failure of DTMF tones to operate correctly is also a symptom of low
reception. Check steps above on improving reception.
Please note that if you are using a Pay&Go or Pre-pay
SIM card, which requires topped up occasionally, most
network providers provide a feature called Auto Top Up.
This allows you to register the SIM card on their web site,
and create a payment method. When the credit runs low,
the network will automatically top up your SIM card, so
that you don’t have to worry about running out. Contact
your network provider in your country for more information
or register with them online.
