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.
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
TIP: Most technical calls received are due to installers using CAT5 or alarm cable to power the unit. Neither are rated to carry enough power (1.2 amp peak). Please use following cable
Up to 2 metres (6 feet) – Use minimum 0.75mm2 (18 gauge) Up to 4 metres (12 feet) – Use minimum 1mm2 (16 gauge) Up to 8 metres (24 feet) – Use minimum 1.5mm2 (14 gauge)
Using insufficient power cable thickness will cause excessive stress on electronic components, and therefore void the manufacturer’s warranty.
15v Power adaptor

To avoid such problems it is recommended (and is good practice) to locate the power supply as close to the transmitter as possible. This avoids power cable noise and interference and enhances the lifetime of the product.
1) Ensure the SIM has calling credit, and can make and receive calls on a mobile cell phone.
2) Check that the SIM is not locked to a phone and can be used in other devices.
3) Check that the SIM does not have a PIN code request.
4) You are now ready to begin programming.

Please ensure the SIM card is a 2G compatible SIM card. The SIM may also be 3G and 4G capable as well, as long as both the SIM and the network also support 2G. Do not use a SIM card for a tablet, as these only support data, and do not support voice and SMS. You simply require a mobile phone type SIM card.
Commonly used connections
Outputs – This keypad has 3 outputs. All can be
programmed for momentary and latching operation. For gate systems and AC strike locks, connect a keypad relay (normally open) in parallel with the GSM module relay. For magnetic locks, connect in series with normally closed contact. Egress This is for an optional exit button input, connected across this terminal and GND (-).

Programming
TIP: The GSM unit programming is by sending SMS text messages to the unit from a phone.
Step 1: Check Reception
TIP: If reception levels are low, take action now! Either increase the height of the antenna to
improve reception or request a higher gain antenna from your distributor or change to another network which may have better coverage.
Step 2: Programming dial out numbers
Programing text messages must start with a pass code string, followed by a command, followed by data, and each command is separated in the SMS by #. To begin, program the unit to dial numbers when the call button is pressed. This module will dial up to3 telephone numbers in sequence.
*12*1234#110987654321#
Pass code
Function code
Data
TIP…
11 = Telephone number 1. 12 = Telephone number 2. 13 = Telephone number 3.
E.g. *12*1234#11telephonenumber1#12telephonenumber2#13telephonenumber3#
Send the SMS *20# as shown, to the SIM card number of the intercom. The unit should reply with a reception level between 1 and 31.
*20#
Signal
level = 19
1-12 Poor
13-20
Medium
21-31 Good
Note: Reception levels below 14 can give problems with the relay operation, and poor quality audio, or no audio coming from the microphone on the intercom (the person on the phone cannot hear anything), or buzz on the loud speaker.
*12*1234# 110987654
321#
11098765
4321 OK
The phone image shows an example of a number being stored and the reply sent by the unit to confirm OK. Up to 3 numbers can be sent in a single SMS. The pass code only needs entered at the beginning of each message, and then each new command string is separated by #.
P a g e | 8
Step 3: Calling time
This is the time the unit will spend attempting to call a number before aborting the call and calling the next number on the list. It is very useful to adjust this time so that if there is voicemail or answer machine on a number, that the intercom aborts the call before the machine picks up, otherwise the unit will think the call is answered and never call the next number. To adjust this time, send the following SMS messages…
*12*1234#52??# (Where ?? = ringing time in seconds 10-99. Default = 20)
TIP: Remember to include the network connection time. A mobile phone needing to ring for 10 seconds may need a programmed ringing time of 15 seconds, because it can take 5 seconds to connect the call.
Step 4: Caller ID access control
This feature allows up to 100 numbers to be stored in memory. Any of these numbers can call the intercom. It will recognise the number, end the call without answering, and activate the output relay, all within a few seconds.
Now you may add numbers which can call the unit to trigger the relay by sending the following SMS (up to 3 phone numbers can be sent in a single SMS…
*12*1234#72telephonenumber#72telephonenumber#72telephonenumber#
Just send the complete number as you would normally dial it from a phone. Tip: Even if a number is stored as a dialling out number when the call button is pressed, it needs stored again under the 72 feature if it is also required to have caller ID access.
First you must tell the unit which country it is operating in by entering the country code of your country. If you do not know the country code, it can be found online. Some examples are shown below.. UK – 44 Ireland – 353 USA - 1
The example shows UK country code being entered. TIP: Do not add any leading zeros in front of the country code.

Control by SMS
This intercom allows the user to send SMS commands to control the relays and check status as follows…
*33*5678# - Relay momentary trigger. *34*5678# - Relay latch ON or hold ON. *35*5678# - Relay unlatch or switch OFF.
Check if door or gate is open or closed
Using the Optional App
Android and Iphone users can download an optional app called GSM-GATE. This app performs 3 main functions..
1) Speed dials your intercom when the trigger button is pressed.
2) Sends pre-configured SMS messages to latch and unlatch the relay.
3) Allow the user to check status like reception level and status of the output and input.
Send the SMS as shown, and the unit will reply showing the status of the input limit switch (if used), and the relay..
This example shows that the input sensor is in OPEN state, and the relay is OFF. If the relay is latched, then the status will change to ON. If the input limit witch is closed, the status shown will change to CLOSED.
TIP: If there is not a physical limit switch fitted to the door or gate, then the status input will always show OPEN.

Maintenance of the Intercom
The intercom SIM card will need topped up occasionally if it is a pre-pay casual SIM card. It is recommended that you register this SIM card on the provider’s web site. You can register card payment details. Many networks offer an auto top up feature, which means they will automatically top up your intercom when the balance runs low. The stainless steel can dull or discolour over time in weather conditions. This can be polished with a suitable stainless steel cleaner.
Troubleshooting guide
Q. The unit will not power up. No LEDs on.
A. Check power supply voltage at intercom is within 14.5v-15v DC. Cable length from PSU to intercom should be less than 15 feet.
Q. The unit powers up but is not showing network reception or will not respond to SMS. A. This means the unit is not able to detect the network for some reason.
-Power off the unit, remove the SIM and check it in a mobile phone to verify it can make a call and has calling credit.
-Disable any PIN code request if active on the SIM card.
-Check the SIM is a standard voice 2G capable SIM. If you are unsure, contact your SIM card provider to verify. Frequency of operation should be any one of international quad band standards, 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz.
-Check the reception is good. Poor reception is not sufficient.
-Check that the cable from power supply to intercom is less than 15 feet and that the cable thickness is 1.5mm or 14 gauge if longer than 15 feet. Alarm or CAT5 cable is not sufficient.
-Power off, remove the SIM, use fine sand paper to lightly sand the SIM pads and contacts on the GSM unit, lightly bend the contacts upwards so that they make better contact with the SIM and try again.
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.
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 or excessively long power cables.
-Check reception level by *20#.
P a g e | 15
-Change SIM card if necessary to another network which may have better coverage.
-Purchase a high gain antenna.
-Increase height of antenna. This may also be caused by a defective microphone, water on a microphone from a sprinkler for example, or dirt blocking the microphone hole. If reception is optimum and the problem persists, contact your supplier or installer.
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, or poor power cables being too long or thin.
-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 keys do not work when the intercom calls a phone.
A. Check if you can hear the relay clicking at the gate when the keys are 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 or insufficient power cabling. Check steps above on improving reception or addressing the power problem.
-Some iphone users may experience trouble using the * key to trigger the gates. In this case, refer to your distributor on how to change the trigger key to any other key. Also check that the relays are not already latched with the *22# command. If they are latched, they need unlatched before the trigger keys will work.
Q. The keypad confirmation bleeps when I enter my code but the gates or door lock does not open.
A. Check wiring. The keypad relay should be connected to the lock or gate system as well as the relay inside the GSM cellular part of the intercom.
- Do not wire power to the intercom in alarm cable or CAT 5 cable. It should be proper power cable and the power cable length should be as short as possible. Otherwise relays may not fire.
Q. The system was operating the gates fine, but now it will not trigger the gates.
99% of the time, this is cause by the user accidentally latching the relay. This latches the output relay permanently on. Send the intercom the following SMS *22#. The intercom should reply with
a message detailing the relay status.. If it has been latched, then the message will state “the relay
is ON”. In this case refer to the user guide to read how to unlatch it again.
Q. The unit no longer calls out to phones but I can make a call to it from my phone.
A – Check there is balance on the SIM card. A – Switch off the power, remove the SIM, put it into a phone, and check that a call can be made from a phone. This will verify if the SIM is still working and in service.

SELF INSTALL - NEED TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE?
OPTION 1: DIRECT WITH THE SERVICE DESK – QUICKEST AND MOST EFFECTIVE METHOD
Submit your enquiry direct with the service desk at – service@automaticsolutions.com.au The service desk has the most experienced staff in Australia to help with your problem but they need your help.
Describe your problem in detail and as clearly as possible. Don’t forget to include a telephone number. Be certain to detail which model or models of you are working with. Send photos of the installation – they love photos. The people at the service desk are good but they are
even better when they can see the installation. Send photos of the overall scene so they can see the entire installation. Also send photos of the wiring to the control board and any other part of the installation you think is relevant.
Send video if appropriate. Smartphone’s these days take remarkably good video in small file sizes which
can be emailed in a moment. If your problem needs a video to show the issue please feel free to send it.
NOTE: THIS IS BY FAR THE FASTEST AND MOST SUCCESFUL WAY TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM
PHOTOS AND VIDEOS ARE THE NEXT BEST THING TO BEING THERE
OPTION 2: LODGE YOUR ENQUIRY LOCALLY - SLOWER BUT CAN STILL BE EFFECTIVE
Make contact with the store of purchase. Branch staffs are typically not technicians and dependent on their length of service will have varying degrees of technical knowledge. If they cannot help however they will certainly either source help locally from their technicians or make contact with the service technicians on your behalf.
OPTION 3: SERVICE CALL WITH AUTOMATIC SOLUTIONS TECHNICIAN – SLOWEST METHOD
If you fall within the local branch service area it may be possible to book a local technician to look at your installation. Wait times will vary dependent on local workloads. The cost is a service fee which includes the first half hour and the hourly rate thereafter. If any Automatic Solutions provided parts are found to be defective and within warranty these will be provided free of charge. (NOTE: If you suspect that any parts are defective and within warranty you may wish to consider option 4)
A note on this option: If you decide on this option you will be asked to sign an “authorisation to proceed” which will provide legal authority and payment security. This form has three options available of which only the first two are available to you. The third option is for warranty repairs only for full install customers. Self install customers requiring warranty only service need to refer to option four below.
IMPORTANT: IN SHORT THIS OPTION WILL INCUR CHARGES
OPTION 4: RETURN THE PRODUCT IF BELIEVED TO BE FAULTY
As a self install customer who has purchased product if you believe the product to be faulty rather than an installation or site problem you have the option of returning the product for evaluation and to exercise your right to a replacement, repair or refund as applicable. All returned product is forwarded immediately to the service technicians for evaluation and response. There are two main methods available to return product –
Direct to the service centre – this is the quickest method as it cuts out the branch delay Via the branch of purchase – slower because of the delay at the branch
When choosing this option you need to complete a product return form. This form gives you all the information on procedure involved and where to send to. These are available at the branch of purchase, can be emailed to you (contact your branch), or available here - http://automaticsolutions.com.au/page/warranty.php
