BGates comes with the Smart Start feature active.
This means that the device does not need any programming for use. Simply ring the number of the
inserted SIM card and BGates LT will activate the relay. Deactivate this feature if you prefer to have
BGates LT open only for memorised numbers.

CAUTION
This function is only available for devices with rmware 2.1.2 and above. To know the version of your device, use the “13” function
on page 17.

BGates LT
Open your gate with an APP or by calling your BGates LT
Open a motorised gate, such as your front gate,
from any distance using a mobile telephone or
landline phone and without any remote control,
providing access to a maximum of 500 users.
Open the gate simply by dialling the number of
the SIM inside BGates LT or use the appropriate
APP available for smartphones free of charge.
BGates LT works by inserting a SIM1from Europe’s leading telecom
operators, excluding SIM cards that use only VOIP technology
(for example, operator 3).
Phone calls are always toll-free: BGates LT recognises the caller’s
number and opens the gate, thus refusing the call. The only costs
are those relating to SMS reply messages, corresponding to the
fees of your service plan for the SIM inserted into BGates LT.
Be sure to pay attention to the SIM expiration date and make sure
that it is enabled to send and receive SMS.
1Sold separately. The SIM card should be standard size. A dedicated adapter is
required if owning a Micro SIM or Nano SIM.

Installation
PRECAUTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
• Make sure that the product is intact after removing the
packaging.
• The system must be installed in compliance with current
safety standards.
• An appropriate disconnector and protection switch should be
installed upstream of the actuator.
• Before connecting the device, make sure that the rating plate
data corresponds to that of the distribution network.
• Disconnect the device from the mains power supply before
attempting to clean or service it.
• Disconnect the device and do not touch it in case of failure
and/or malfunction.
• Do not let the device come into direct contact with water
or extreme heat, moisture or heat shock: see the chapter
“installation”.
• Do not obstruct the ventilation or heat dispersion openings or
ns.
• Contact the manufacturer for repairs.
Take note that:
• Failure to comply with the above may compromise the safety
and warranty of the device.
• The manufacturer can not be held responsible for any damage
caused by improper, incorrect and unreasonable use.

INSIDE THE BOX
• BGates LT device
• This instruction sheet
TECHNICAL FEATURES
• Power supply 230V - 50/60 Hz.
• The transformer is electronically protected against overloads
and short circuits.
• Absorbed power: 10VA.
• Relay: 230V maximum voltage, maximum current 1A with
resistive load (0.4A inductive load).
• Action Type: 1 B-U.
• Dimensions: 9-unit module for DIN rail.
• Dual mode operation: pulse (default) or bistable.
LOCATION
Install the device in an area where there is a good GSM/GPRS
signal. This area can be identied in the vicinity of the automation
that you want to connect, though its proximity to the gate is not
an essential factor. It is advisable to perform simple eld strength
checks before installing the actuator.
INSTALLATION
The device is equipped with a relay to process the open command.
The device can be installed in an electrical panel or alternatively
in the box tted with DIN rail (EN 50022). Outdoor installations
require the use of a suitable sealed container such as an IP65
weather sealed box.
BGates LT can operate in two modes:
• Pulse (factory default setting): the device closes the relay for
the number of seconds set (factory settings: 2 seconds).
• Bistable: the device closes the relay until the next command.

OPERATION OF THE BGates LT TERMINALS (Fig. 1)
A) Terminal board M1
220V power supply
B) Terminal board M2
Automation open control relay. Relay contacts:
- NO normally open
- NC normally closed
- C common
C) SW1 button - Reset to factory settings
Turn on the module, wait for the three LEDs to light up at the
same time and then press the C button (SW1) within 5 seconds.
Acceptance of the command will be conrmed by the rapid
ashing of the right LED (looking at the label and reading BGates).
CAUTION:
This process deletes all registered telephone numbers and restores
messages and settings to the initial values (including passwords to
0000).
D) SIM Card insertion seat
The SIM inserted must be congured without the PIN number. The
device will not work if a SIM congured with the PIN request is
inserted.
The connections to the control relay must be provided in function
of the type of apparatus that must be automated. The simplest
approach is to identify the button/key to open the device to
automate and make a parallel connection. If the plant is not tted
with any, refer to the manual of the plant to be automated to
determine the correct connection with the control unit in order to
automate the opening.
Once powered, BGates LT will proceed with registration on the
GSM network. Registration may last a few minutes.
The system is ready for use after this operation.

2. Setting the personal password
BGates LT has a default password that is 0000. We strongly recommend
you to change it with a new password and to keep it secret, writing it
down in a safe place. The password may contain only 4 numbers.
• Send an SMS using your mobile phone to the number active on
the SIM card inside the BGates LT device, using the following
formula (without spaces between words):
You will receive an SMS to conrm the changes.
WARNING: BGates LT must be reset to factory settings if you misplace
your password. All saved phone numbers will be deleted and messages and
settings will be restored to the initial values (including password to 0000).
MOBILE PHONE AND SMS USE
ACTIVATION OF BGates LT
1. Preliminary steps
• Add the number of the SIM that you will insert into the BGates LT
to your mobile phones contact list giving it a name that is easily
identied. For example Name: “Garage Door”, Phone Number:
“07936 719189”.
• Insert the SIM into slot (D) of your BGates LT.
• Make sure that your mobile phone sends its caller ID when
making a call. If your mobile phone does not send its Caller
ID check the phones “Settings/Phone” and make sure “Show
My Caller ID” is turned on. This instruction is correct for all
Apple iPhones.Almost all other mobile phones have a menu
option that allows you to turn the phones Caller ID ON and OFF.
If you are using a landline phone, contact your service provider and ask them
to enable your phones Caller ID. If your phone is connected to a PBX exchange,
contact the PBX administrator and ask him to enable your phones Caller ID.

3. Enabling the authorised numbers to open the gate
Up to 500 numbers can be enabled by entering the phone number
without the leading international country or dialling code.
• Example: The Mobile it shows Number in Phone Settings as
“[phone]”. Send a SMS to BG using the following
formula : Number becomes 20123456789 with the international
country and dialling codes removed.
Please see the table “COMPLETE LIST OF
FUNCTIONS” for instructions on how to delete
enabled numbers, how to enable or disable
the SMS response to commands and all other
functions.

Dial the number of your
BGates LT!
NB: We strongly recommend that you do not give your BGates
password to any other users, but instead authorise each mobile
phone number individually.
