How to Use the 2G/3G/4G Gate Opener
Using your mobile phone or landline, dial the simcard number. You will hear 1 ring tone.
The unit will automatically hang up. This will prevent any call charges being incurred. The
relay will then pulse for a period of time. This is the unit sending the signal to your gate
control board to open the gate.
PLEASE NOTE - Calling in using the 4G mode can currently be inconsistent due to several
factors such as, signal strength, voice over LTE (4G calling) being available on simcards
and phones etc. If you experience unreliability on 4G please boot the unit up using 2G or
3G depending on which has the better signal strength.
Relay Pulse Time
The unit has an adjustable pulse time for the phone call activation. The unit will either
pulse for 1 second or 3 seconds as some gate controls need a very quick pulse and others
a slower pulse.
To change the pulse time you will need to send the text message
#
SLOW
#
- Sets the relay pulse time to 3 seconds
#
FAST
#
- Sets the relay pulse time to 1 second
The default setting is slow
Texting the Gate to Open
If you need to keep the gate permanently open or open for a longer period of time, you can
send the text:
#
OPEN
#
To close the gate simply call the simcard number. This will cancel the relay and close the
gate.
NOTE
- Some gate systems do not have the facility to allow the gate to stay open. Please
refer to your gate control system manual for further information
Pedestrian Access
Relay 2 controls the pedestrian gate. You will need to text the unit:
#
PEDESTRIAN
#
This will pulse relay 2 on for 3 ½ seconds. This should be sufficient time to open the gate
to allow for pedestrian access.
SIM Active Function
The unit has a sim active function which monitors the activity on the simcard. If it has been
inactive for 6 weeks it will send a phone call to a pre-recorded number. This will eliminate
the problem of sim’s getting shut down if they are unused for 3 months.
