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.

1) That the SIM card has been activated and has credit.
2) That the SIM card does not require a PIN code, disable this in a phone.
3) That the SIM card can make and received a call on a phone.
4) If the SIM card was purchased with a phone, that it is not locked to that
phone. Call the network operator to check.
5) Switch off power, remove and reseat the SIM card and try again.

10) Ensure the power is OFF
before inserting the SIM card.
11) Carefully slide the SIM
holder in the OPEN direction,
insert the SIM, and slide in the
CLOSED direction to lock it in
place. Do NOT Force or use a
screwdriver!
12) Check wiring again and
switch on power.
13) Allow 20-30 seconds for
the unit to boot up and detect
the network. The unit should
stop bleeping after 10-15

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..
*12*1234#7210987654321#
