Secure the unit to the pedestal.
(SYSTEM CONNECTIONS FOR STANDARD GATE INSTALLATION)
3. NOTE: MAKE ALL CONNECTIONS BEFORE TURNING ON THE POWER. A 12VAC
adapter has been included to power the PhoneAire gate unit. Use 12 AWG stranded
wire between the 12VAC adapter and the POWER terminal block on the PhoneAire gate
unit. For a solar power installation, connect 12 AWG stranded wire between the
battery and the POWER terminal block on the PhoneAire gate unit.
4. For gate activation, connect the gate control wires to Relay A, common and normally
open. Use stranded wire of the gauge recommended by the gate operator manufacturer.
5. The PhoneAire receiver unit should be located in “line of sight” from the gate unit for
best performance. You may need to move around the receiver unit to find what works
best for your particular installation. A optional antenna extension kit is available from
AAS. Contact your distributor.
6. A 12VAC adapter has been included to power the PhoneAire receiver unit. Use 12 AWG
stranded wire between the 12VAC adapter and the POWER terminal block on the
PhoneAire receiver unit. NOTE: 12VAC adapters are NOT approved for outdoor use.
They must be installed in a weatherproof enclosure.
7. The unit is designed to go inline with the incoming phone line(See page 6). At the telco
box on the side of the building, disconnect the connections between the phone
company and the house. Run 4 conductor 22 AWG twisted shielded wire between the
telco box and the PhoneAire receiver unit. Connect 2 wires between the telco box
phone company tip and ring, to the “FROM CO” terminal block on the PhoneAire
receiver unit. Connect the other 2 wires at the telco box to the terminals going into the
house phones, and the other end of the 2 wires to the “TO PHONES” terminal block
on the PhoneAire receiver unit. Note: On the PhoneAire receiver unit circuit board is a
manual bypass switch that can be used to disconnect our unit from the telephone line.
8. The PhoneAire can also be installed to a PBX or Key phone system. Connect two wires
from a UNUSED CO port of the PBX system to “To Phones” terminal block on the
PhoneAire circuit board. Move jumper from Normal to PBX then press Reset button.

PhoneAire System Intercom
Operation:
A visitor desiring access will push the call button on the outside control station, causing a
special ring signal to be sent to the inside phone. Picking up the phone before 10 rings are
completed will establish intercom mode between the receiver and the control station. The
control station will respond with a GOOD BEEP. Hanging up the phone terminates intercom
mode. If the receiver phone is already ringing because of a call from the central office when
the call button is pressed a busy signal is sent to the control station speaker.
Call Waiting:
If the phone is already in use when the call button is pressed, a tone (similar to the central
office “call waiting tone”) will be heard, indicating the control station is calling. To place the
central office line on hold press the “#” key within 15 seconds of the first tone. The control
station will respond with a GOOD BEEP and establish intercom mode between the receiver
and the control station.
The “#” key can be used to switch back and forth between the central office and intercom
mode. However, the control station will only stay on hold for 15 seconds before it resets to
idle mode.
If the central office tries to ring the receiver while the system is in intercom mode, the same
call waiting tone will be heard. To switch to the incoming call press the “#” key.
Calling a Gate:
The receiver phone can call the receiver unit to establish data mode. To do this simply lift the
receiver and press “#1” within 15 seconds. The control station will respond with a GOOD
BEEP and establish data mode. If data mode is exited because of a call waiting switch, the
receiver will have to hang up and call the gate again to re-establish data. (The “#” key cannot
be used to get back to data mode if the receiver called the receiver unit.)
Intercom(Audio) Mode:
Once communication is established, the receiver phone is connected to the receiver unit in
data mode only. Commands to control the gate can be given from the receiver phone but
audio is not present. To establish audio between the phone and gate unit press “*3”.
Otherwise, to activate relay A press “*1” or “**”. To activate relay B press “*2”. A single beep
will be heard after the relay has been activated. To toggle the latch mode press the star key
followed by the pound key (“*#”). The control station will respond to the toggle-latch-mode
command with a single beep if the gate is now latched open, and a double beep if the gate is
now closed. To toggle the sleep mode press “*9”. The control station will respond to the
toggle-sleep-mode command with a single beep if the unit is now in sleep mode, and a double
beep if the unit is not in sleep mode. Since sleep mode and latch mode are mutually
exclusive, trying to activate one of those modes while the other is active will cause an ERROR
BEEP. To toggle the one-shot enable press “*5”. The control station will respond to the
toggle-one-shot-enable command with a single beep if the one-shot code in now enabled, and
a double beep if the one-shot code is now disabled. Hanging up the phone terminates

11
intercom mode. Intercom mode is also terminated after five minutes of inactivity --- i.e. five
minutes after the last gate command, or five minutes after it is started if no gate commands
are given.
Intercom mode and use of the keypad are mutually exclusive: if someone is in the middle of
entering a four digit code on the keypad (i.e. after the first numeric key is pressed, and until
the operation finishes), the call button will not work and the receiver cannot call the gate. If
the call button has been pressed, or the receiver has called the gate, the keypad will not work
until the system is back in idle mode. The remote open mode for the event input will work
while the unit is in all modes except program mode.

ACCESS & FUNCTION CODES
The PhoneAire may be programmed with 500 multiple (4 digit) access codes, the number of
access codes is reflected in the model number There are two different types of codes,
access codes & function codes. Although the number of access codes may vary , the number
of function codes is always 4.
FUNCTION CODES
"MASTER CODE" This code is a programmable four digit code
used for gaining access to the program mode.
It does not activate the control relay.
The factory default master code is 1 2 5 1.
"LATCH CODE" This code is a programmable four digit code
used to toggle relay A. This code will be used
to hold open a gate or door.
"SLEEP CODE" This code is a programmable four digit code
which when entered, will disable all codes.
When the "SLEEP CODE" is entered again the

12
unit will be enabled. An override code is provided.
“ONE SHOT CODE” This code is a programmable four digit code that disables itself after
one use. The user can enable this code for reuse using the keypad
or telephone.
GOODBEEPS & ERRORBEEPS
Your unit will beep each time a key is pressed. The "*" key serves as the clear key and a
double beep will be heard when this key is pressed. A "GOODBEEP" is represented by an
oscillating high tone. An "ERROR BEEP" is represented by a single low tone.
THE RED & YELLOW LED's
Two different colored LED's are in the face of the unit. The red LED will light during the
duration of the relay(s) activation period. The yellow LED will light while the unit is in the
program mode. During memory erasure or setup the LED's will flash.
RESETTING THE UNIT
Your unit provides 2 different types of resets, a Unit Reset, and a Master Reset.
A Master Reset should be utilized in the event that you lose or forget your master code or if
the unit is in the Latch or Sleep mode and the Latch or Sleep code is lost or forgotten. When
a Unit Reset is performed, the master code will be set back to 1 2 5 1.
A Unit Reset is provided should it ever become desirous to reset the unit back to the initial
factory state. After a Master Reset has been performed the unit will DELETE ALL ACCESS &
FUNCTION CODES and the master code will be set back to 1 2 5 1.
MASTER RESET
Follow these steps precisely. If you make an error, the unit will ERROR and you will have to
start over.
Press and hold down SWRESET button. Press and release HWRESET button. Unit will beep
continually. Press *** on keypad. Press and release HWRESET button.
The unit will issue a good beep and the master code will be set back to 1 2 5 1. If you
previously were in the sleep or latch mode, the unit will be brought back to idle state.
UNIT RESET
(!!!!! WARNING: ALL CODES WILL BE DELETED FROM MEMORY !!!!!)
* (Please See pg. 6 for further information)
Follow these steps precisely. If you make an error, the unit will ERROR and you will have to
start over.
Press and hold down SWRESET button. Press and release HWRESET button. Unit will beep
continually. Press *** on keypad. Press and release HWRESET button.
Release HWReset button & enter # * # (The unit will respond with a GOOD BEEP)
Enter 1251 from the keypad. (The unit will flash the LED's several times and then go into an
endless cycle of beeps)

13
Press and release HWRESET button.
The idle mode
The idle mode is the normal mode of operation. When in this mode the unit sits and waits for
data from the keypad. When in this mode you will have approximately 4 seconds between key
presses. If this time is exceeded, you will receive an ERROR.
The program mode
The program mode is the mode of operation in which you will enter, delete, or change your
codes or set specific features of the unit. The program mode is accessed by entering the
"MASTER CODE" from the keypad. You will receive a GOOD BEEP and the yellow LED will
come on indicating that you are in the program mode. In this mode you will have
approximately 30 seconds between key presses. If this time is exceeded, you will receive an
ERROR and be exited from the program mode.
The *and #keys
The *and #keys serve specific functions while in the idle or program mode. The *key is
always the clear key and a double beep will be heard when depressed. You should use this
key if you make an entry error. The # key also serves as the clear key in the idle mode. In the
program mode however, it serves as the exit key and will at any time when depressed, exit
you from the program mode.
PROGRAMMING
A person desiring access to the program mode will enter the present MASTER CODE. If the
master code is valid the yellow LED will come on and the individual will be prompted with a
GOOD BEEP to enter a number corresponding to a SUB-MODE.
Remember: Master Code will not activate control relay.
(MASTER CODE) + (Number corresponding to Sub-Mode).
Once in the program mode, the individual will have 30 seconds between key presses or the
unit will ERROR and exit the program mode. A person desiring to exit the program mode may
do so by simply pressing the # key at any time. There are 10 different SUB-MODES to choose
from. They are as follows:
SUB-MODE DESCRIPTION
1 Program Access Codes (Relay A)
2 Delete Codes
3 Change Master Code
4 Set Sleep Code , Latch Code and/or Call Forwarding
5 Set One Shot Code
6 Set Relay Output Times
7 Program Access Codes (Relay B)
8 Enable / Disable "3 Strikes-You’re Out"
9 Program Event Input
0 Erase Memory

14
Sub-Mode 1 (Program Relay A Access Codes)
To program new Relay A access codes enter the following;
(MASTER CODE) + 1 + (NEW CODE) + (NEXT NEW CODE) etc......... ( #to exit)
Should you make a code entry error, simply press the *key and enter the correct code. You
may select any 4 digit code you wish. If you receive an ERROR after entry, you must select
another code as it is already in use. The unit will respond with a GOOD BEEP with the
acceptance of each new Relay A code. You may continue entering Relay A codes until you
finish (Press #), or the memory becomes full. You will automatically be exited from the
program mode if the memory reaches capacity. When memory is full you will not be able to
enter this Sub-Mode and will receive an ERROR if entry is attempted.
Sub-Mode 2 (Delete Codes)
To delete codes enter the following;
(MASTER CODE) + 2 + (CODE TO BE DELETED)
Should you make an entry error, simply press the *key and enter the correct code. You may
delete any access or function code that you wish with the exception of the MASTER CODE. If
the code you wish to delete is not found in memory, the unit will respond with an ERROR and
wait for another code to be entered. A GOOD BEEP will be sounded once the code has been
found and deleted. You may continue deleting codes until you finish (Press #).
Sub-Mode 3 (Change Master Code)
To change your master code enter the following;
(present MASTER CODE) + 3 + (new MASTER CODE)
Should you make a code entry error, simply press the *key and enter the correct code. You
may select any 4 digit master code you wish. If you receive an ERROR, you must select
another code as it is already in use. The unit will respond with a GOOD BEEP with the
acceptance of the new Master Code and you will be exited from the program mode. MAKE
SURE TO WRITE THE NEW MASTER CODE DOWN.
Sub-Mode 4 (Set Sleep Code & Latch Code and/or Call Forwarding)
EXPLANATION: The sleep code used to disable all Relay A and function codes from the
keypad. It also turns shuts off the CALL button on the intercom. This feature is most
commonly used in applications where no entry is desired after hours. Relay B codes will still
be valid from the keypad. By connecting both relays in parallel, managers may be assigned
RelayB codes and still gain access. While in the SLEEP MODE, the yellow and red LED's will
flash approximately once every 3 seconds. To initialize the system back to normal, simply re-
enter the sleep code. Should you lose or forget your sleep code and the unit is in the sleep

15
mode see the Unit Reset instructions on pages 10 & 11.
NOTE: You can also toggle the sleep code with the telephone. (See intercom operating
instructions.)
To program or change your sleep code enter the following;
(MASTER CODE) + 4 + 1 + SLEEP CODE
Should you make a code entry error, simply press the *key and enter the correct code. You
may select any 4 digit sleep code you wish. If you receive an ERROR, you must select
another code as it is already in use. The unit will respond with a GOOD BEEP with the
acceptance of the new Sleep Code and you will be exited from the program mode.
(Set Latch Code)
EXPLANATION: The Latch Code toggles the state of the main relay (A) of the circuit board.
The red LED will light if the relay is in the latched position. The latch code is useful in
applications where the gate is desired to hold open. If the operator's close circuit is
controlled by loops, timers, etc., they will be overridden by the latched state of the relay and
the gate will hold open. An "OPEN-OVERRIDE" circuit must exist in the operator in order to
utilize this function. If your gate cycles when this code is entered, your operator is not set up
to utilize this function. Your local dealer or distributor should be able to assist you if you
have any specific questions.
To program or change your latch code enter the following;
(MASTER CODE) + 4 + 2 + LATCH CODE
Should you make a code entry error, simply press the * key and enter the correct code. You
may select any 4 digit latch code you wish. If you receive an ERROR, you must select another
code as it is already in use. The unit will respond with a GOOD BEEP with the acceptance of
the new Latch Code and you will be exited from the program mode. When the latch code is
entered the RED Led will light and the gate will hold open. When the latch code is entered
again the RED Led will go off and the gate will close. NOTE: On gates with a timer to close
the “TIMED DURATION” starts when the latch code is released.
Call Forwarding:
Call Forwarding is located under Sub Mode 4 with Sleep and Latch modes as follows:
Sub Mode 4 (Call Forwarding)
To program or change the phone number dialed, enter:
(MASTER CODE) + 4 + 3 (*status) + 2 + (Phone Number – 7, 10, or 11 digits)
To disable call forwarding:
(MASTER CODE) + 4 + 3 (*status) + 0
To enable call forwarding:
(MASTER CODE) + 4 + 3 (*status) + 1
*status:
Single beep = enabled

16
Double beep = disabled
Notes:
1) Pressing * will clear the phone number digits entered.
2) Pressing # will “enter” the phone number. A good beep will sound if 7, 10, or 11 digits have
been entered when # is pressed. If not, a bad beep will sound and call forwarding will be
disabled if it was enabled.
3) Digits can be entered until # is pressed. Any digits over 11 will be discarded and a bad
beep will sound when # is pressed.
4) Call forwarding can only be enabled when there has been a valid phone number entered.
Sub-Mode 5 (Set One Shot Code)
EXPLANATION: This Mode is used to program a one-shot code, and to enable it or disable it.
After the 5 is pressed the enable/disable status is heard (one beep = enabled, two beeps =
disabled) followed by a GOOD BEEP.
To disable the one-shot code enter:
(MASTER CODE) + 5 (*status) + 0
To enable the one-shot code enter:
(MASTER CODE) + 5 (*status) + 1
To change the one-shot code enter:
(MASTER CODE) + 5 (*status) + 2 + (ONE-SHOT CODE)
To change the relay the one-shot code activates enter:
(MASTER CODE) + 5 (*status) + 3 + (RELAY #)
The Relay # corresponds to which relay to set. 1 = Relay A, 2 = Relay B.
Sub-Mode 6 (Set Relay Output Times)
To set or change a relay output time enter the following;
(MASTER CODE) + 6 + (RELAY #) + (RELAY OUTPUT TIME) in seconds
The Relay # corresponds to which relay to set. 1 = Relay A, 2 = Relay B. Should you make a
code entry error, simply press the * key and enter the correct code. Your output time is set on
both relays from the factory at approximately 1/2 seconds "00". If a longer output time is
desired, enter a two digit number corresponding to the number of seconds between "00" and
"99". By entering "00" the output time is set to approximately 1/2 seconds which is ideal for
most operators.
Sub-Mode 7 (Program Relay B Access Codes)
To program new Relay B access codes enter the following;
(MASTER CODE) + 7 + (NEW CODE) + (NEXT NEW CODE) etc......... ( # to exit)
Should you make a code entry error, simply press the * key and enter the correct code. You
may select any 4 digit code you wish. If you receive an ERROR after entry, you must select
another code as it is already in use. The unit will respond with a GOOD BEEP with the
acceptance of each new Relay B code. You may continue entering Relay B codes until you
finish (Press #), or the memory becomes full. You will automatically be exited from the

17
program mode if the memory reaches capacity. When memory is full you will not be able to
enter this Sub-Mode and will receive an ERROR if entry is attempted.
Sub-Mode 8 (Enable/Disable 3 Strikes-You’re Out)
EXPLANATION: This feature is desirable to keep unwanted persons from successively
entering codes until they "hit" a programmed access code. By selecting this function you
enable a 1 1/2 minute lock out period if 3 incorrect codes are entered successively within a 3
minute period. When this occurs, the LED's will flash and a high pitched alarm will be
generated from the unit for 30 seconds. The unit will then shutdown for 1 minute.
To toggle the 3 strikes-you’re out feature enter the following;
(MASTER CODE) + 8 (*current state) + (MASTER CODE)
*current state
single beep = 3 strikes enabled
double beep = 3 strikes disabled
Should you make a code entry error, simply press the * key and enter the correct code. After
you have selected mode 8, the unit will respond with a single or double beep. A single beep
indicates that the 3 strikes-you’re out feature is presently enabled. A double beep indicates
that the 3 strikes-you’re out feature is presently disabled. The unit will then issue a GOOD
BEEP and wait for the master code. If you wish to toggle the 3 strikes your out state, enter
the master code. If you do not wish to toggle the state, enter # to exit.
Sub-Mode 9 (Program Event Input)
EXPLANATION: The event input allows the user to tie in an external device to control specific
functions of the unit. The event input can be programmed in 1 of 5 ways.
REMOTE INACTIVE: Relay A codes may be made inactive by an external switch. When
inactive all relay A codes will be disabled. The relay B, program, and function codes will still
be accessible to the end user.
ARMING CIRCUIT: This is normally used to allow access in parking situations. An external
vehicle detector may be connected to the input. Relay A codes would only become active on
the presence detect of a vehicle. If an entry attempt to activate relay A is made while the input
is not activate, entry will be denied. The relay B, program, and function codes will still be
accessible to the end user.
REMOTE OPEN: A relay may be activated using a pushbutton or switch. The relay to
activate is user selectable. This function operates even when the unit is in sleep, latch, or
program mode.
NIGHT LIGHT: This will turn on the unit night light for 60 seconds using a relay connected to a
loop detector, electric eye, motion sensor, etc. You must move the Lights jumper from On to
Event to use this output. See circuit board layout on page 7 for location.
DISABLE: Disables the Event Input.
To program the event input as Remote Inactive enter the following;
(MASTER CODE) + 9 (*current mode) + 1
To program the event input as an Arming Circuit enter the following;

18
(MASTER CODE) + 9 (*current mode) + 2
To program the event input as Remote Open enter the following;
(MASTER CODE) + 9 (*current mode) + 3 + (*Relay to Activate)
To program the event input as NIGHT LIGHT enter the following;
(MASTER CODE) + 9 (*current mode) + 4
To DISABLE the event input enter the following;
(MASTER CODE) + 9 (*current mode) + 0
*Current Mode *Relay to Activate
Single beep = Remote Inactive Mode Enabled. 1 = Relay A.
Double beep = Arming Circuit Mode Enabled. 2 = Relay B.
Triple beep = Remote Open Mode Enabled.
Good Beep Only = Event Input Disabled.
After you have selected mode 9, the unit will respond with tones as described above. This
gives the current mode the event input is programmed as (See *Current Mode above). If you
do not wish to toggle the state, enter # to exit. If you are programming the event input as a
Remote Open input, you will be prompted for which relay to activate on an event. Enter the
correct relay as stated above (*Relay to Activate).
Sub-Mode 0 (Erase all codes)
To erase all access & function codes, (except the master code), enter the following;
(MASTER CODE) + 0 + (MASTER CODE)
Should you make a code entry error, simply press the * key and enter the correct code. When
the sequence is entered correctly, the LED's will flash several times and the unit will generate
a GOOD BEEP when it has finished clearing the memory. If the above sequence is not
validated by the unit you will receive an ERROR and immediately be exited from the program
mode.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE: It should not generally be necessary to erase all the codes from
memory unless codes are forgotten and are occupying necessary memory. A good log and
maintenance of access codes should prevent this from ever needing to be done.

Troubleshooting
At the gate, press call button, get 1 and a half rings and then error tone. Unit can not find
house unit. Either move units closer, different locations, or try antenna extension.
At the gate, press call button, get 3 rings and then error tone. Units are talking but no
phone line. Make sure phone line is connected correctly, and that bypass switch is in nor-
mal. If it's suppose to be in PBX make sure it is.
Gate unit can be powered from 12VAC transformer or 12VDC battery. House unit should
be powered from 12VAC transformer.
If voice connection sounds noisy, check and make sure power wires are not next to an-
tenna cables. Check all antenna connections to make sure they are tight. If on solar, try
turning off charger to see if signal gets cleaned up.
Mic gain (labeled Mic Gain on board ) potentiometer on gate unit can be adjusted to try to
increase half duplex center point. Increasing MIC gain makes it easier for the person in-
side to hear the person outside. Decreasing Mic gain lets the person outside hear the per-
son inside better.
Speaker volume pot (labeled Volume on board ), increases the loudness of the gate unit
speaker. The unit is not as loud as the hardwired, and if you increase the volume too
much the unit will get a lot more cutting out of voice on both sides.
If these do not work, there are no other adjustments, send the unit back.
