GSM-3V/AB & ABK
V3.5 (1200 keypad)
Installation Manual
Important Notes:
1) Before you install this equipment, please read this full manual.
2) Before fully installing the system on site, it is recommended that the
system be set up on a workshop bench, with SIM card installed and
function tested with the customers phone to check everything works ok
BEFORE going to site to install it.
3) Please NOTE: iPhones DO NOT SUPPORT 3G VIDEO CALLING!
Almost all other leading brands of smart phone do support 3G video
calls. Please CHECK your phone can make and receive a video call
before installing this system.
4) Ensure that there is excellent 3G coverage in your area before you
install this system. If in doubt, install an app on your smart phone. We
recommend an app called “Opensignal”.
It is recommended to have a
minimum of 5Mbps download
speed and 1.5Mbs upload speed.
This app also shows the direction
of the cell tower that the phone is
connected to. This should help in
deciding antenna location, and for
directional antennas, it will indicate
the direction it should be pointed
in.
Alternatively you can use your standard smart phone display to check the
area for good signal strength. A minimum of 3 out of 5 bars is
recommended with 3G symbol showing on your notification bar.
Installation
Now that you have established both good 3G coverage on site, and that
the intercom makes a video call to the customer’s phone, you are now
ready to install the system.
5) Install the antenna as high as

6) Remove the top two security screws as shown. Do NOT remove the
bottom screws.
The front door will hinge downwards to allow access for mounting holes
and connection terminals.
Remove only top screws
possible on the top of the pillar to
ensure line of sight in all directions
for best possible reception.
Keep antenna high as possible, and
above electronics & audio equipment
to eliminate interference
Ensure the speech panel is located at
an appropriate height in order to have
a good view of a visitor when
standing in front of it.

Programming
Additional Programming Parameters
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 like
intermittent relay operation, no voice from
the gate to the house or no video calling.
The reply message should show WCDMA. If it only shows GSM, then
you do not have 3G coverage.
This scale shows the reception grade,
from poor to good. It is preferable to be
in the top end of medium or higher.
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
0987654321, enter the following SMS..
*12*1234#1110987654321#
Note: For dialling land lines
or non video calling phones,
Pass code
Function code
11 = Telephone number 1
12 = Telephone number 2
13 = Telephone number 3
Data
(telephone number)
2= Video call
1= Audio call
the unit can be programmed
to make standard audio calls
to certain numbers.
Up to 3 numbers can be sent together in a single SMS as follows..
*12*1234#112tel.number1#121tel.number2#132tel.number3#
Note: In this example, the first number is receiving a video call, second
number receiving audio call, third number receiving video call.
The unit should reply to each programming text sent, with Ok or error
message.
3) It is recommended to change the “no answer” time if there is more than 1
number stored. When the unit is calling the first number, and this no answer
time expires, then the unit will end the call and begin calling the second
number.
This can be used to prevent voicemail or answering machines picking up
the call on the first number.
*12*1234#52??#
Where ?? can be 2 digits from 10-99 seconds, default is 20. Note
that video calls take around 5-8 seconds to connect.
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. First, the unit must know what
country it is operating in.
4) Program the country code as follows..
*12*1234#71??#
Where ?? can be 1-3 digits. For uk, insert 44, for Ireland 353, for
USA insert 1. Do not use any leading zeros.
5) Enter the telephone numbers required to have access control. Do not
enter country code, just the complete number as you would dial it..

SIM cards & Credit
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.
Fault finding & FAQs
Q. The unit will not power up. No LEDs on.
A. Check power supply voltage at intercom is within 11.5V-12.5V DC. Cable length from PSU to intercom should be less than 3 meters.
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.
-Check voltage at the intercom is minimum 11.5V and that the cable from power supply to intercom is less than 3 meters.
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.
Even if you have already programmed a number to receive a call from the intercom, if you also want that number to have caller ID access, it must be
programmed under the 72 feature also.
Ensure the number is entered as you would normally dial it from another phone.
Do not put the country code in front of the number.
Enter the country code in which the unit is operating in separate under the 71 feature.
International callers ringing the intercom may not work.
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. If reception is optimum and the problem persists, contact your supplier or dealer.
Q. The audio quality that can be heard on the remote telephone is poor or humming (buzzing).
A. A small amount of GSM buzz can be considered normal on GSM intercoms, but not so much that causes inability to hear the person speaking. This can
be caused by the GSM antenna being mounted too close to the speech panel or not mounted high enough.
-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 relay 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. Try pressing the buttons longer
when attempting to activate the gates or door.
Q. The intercom makes an audio call but not a video call.
A. Check site 3G coverage, check SIM card capability, check that the person receiving the call has a phone that already can receive video calls.
