Overview of System

Please read this entire manual before attempting to install this system.
This system should only be installed by a professional automatic gate installer or access control
specialist dealer.
It is recommended that the system be set up, configured, commissioned and tested on a
workshop bench before taken to site for installation.

Site Survey

Before installing this system, you need to be sure that there is good mobile GSM cell coverage in
the area it is to be installed. It is recommended that you conduct a site survey, and check
reception on the site for a GSM network. If reception is poor in the area, then this system is not
recommended. This unit can operate on At&T and T-Mobile networks in the USA.

SIM Card

You will need a SIM card in order to use this system. It should be a regular voice and SMS text
SIM card. Do not use a data only SIM, as this is only for tablets and will not work in the unit.

Power

This system comes with a 15v d.c. power supply. It is recommended that it is located within 25
feet of the intercom and cabled in 14 gauge cable, otherwise damage can occur to the product.
