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 (2 amp peak). Please use following 
cable

… 

Up to 2 metres (6 feet) 

– Use minimum 0.5mm

2

 (18 gauge) 

Up to 4 metres (12 feet) 

– Use minimum 0.75mm

2

 (16 gauge) 

Up to 8 metres (24 feet) 

– Use minimum 1.0mm

2

 (14 gauge) 

 

Using insufficient power cable thickness will cause excessive stress on electronic components, 
and therefore void the manufacturer’s warranty. 

        

To avoid such problems it is recommended (and is good practice) to locate the power supply as 
close to the device 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) Disable voicemail service on the SIM. 

4) You are now ready to begin programming
