The INTERCOM has two separate units. The KEYPAD (outside unit) should be mounted outside the gate allowing the
driver of the vehicle approaching the property to press the CALL button from their vehicle. The BASE (inside unit), with
it’s rechargeable battery, can be plugged into any 110 Volt AC outlet for use while charging. It can also be disconnected
from the charger allowing it to go any where within range for convenience. Up to three additional BASES can be added
for convenience in different locations throughout the house.
When someone without an access code approaches the gate, they can press the CALL button on the keypad which will
ring the BASE unit inside the house. To answer the CALL, the person inside presses and holds the ANSWER button to
talk to the person at the gate, releasing the ANSWER button to listen. To allow the person calling to open the gate, the
GRANT PERMISSION button must be pressed. Then the person at the gate can press any number key on the KEYPAD
to open the gate. The “END CALL” button terminates the calls and the “ON/OFF” switch can be used to conserve power
when using unit on battery.
Up to 25 different personal entry codes may be programmed into the KEYPAD, allowing you to give different temporary
and permanent entry codes to different users. For example, you can give a delivery person their own temporary entry code,
which you can easily change after he has made the delivery. This will prevent him from being able to regain access, while
still allowing those to whom you gave permanent entry codes full access.
After entering a valid code, pressing any key on the KEYPAD while the gate is opening will stop the gate; pressing any
key while the gate is stopped will cause the gate to reverse direction. The KEYPAD will not affect the auto-close setting of
your gate opener system.
The KEYPAD number pad will light up and the unit will beep at the press of any key. The KEYPAD memory will rec-
ognize your entry code in a string of up to 20 digits. If it finds the correct sequence, it will activate the gate opener. As a
security feature, the keypad will shut down for 40 seconds if it does not find the correct code sequence within a 20 digit
string. This will discourage an unauthorized person from trying to use random numbers to access your property.
Your entry codes will remain stored in memory even when the batteries go dead. The KEYPAD will remember your entry
codes as long as you don’t press the RESET button.
FCC WARNING: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential instal-
lation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in particular installations. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encour-
aged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or replace the receiver antenna. •
Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Features of the Intercom/Keypad
IMPORTANT:
In areas of high radio frequency (RF) interference, the KEYPAD may need to be connected
(hard wired) directly to the gate opener using 16 gauge (AWG) stranded, direct burial, low voltage wire (GTO
part no. RB509 not included).
Also in areas of high radio frequency (RF) interference, the BASE unit may not communicate with the KEYPAD
and will require extending the antenna from the KEYPAD closer to the house co-ax cable (RG59 or RG6 which
is not included). See page 8 for details.
