Important things you Need to Know…
Please read this entire manual before installing
this product.
To be installed by certified and qualified
personnel / gate automation dealer only. Not
for DIY install!
Ensure there is a good 4G signal on site. 4G
units will fall back to 3G service in some
countries.
Set up, on a bench in the workshop BEFORE
going to the site. Program the unit in the
comfort of your workbench and call technical
support should you have questions.
This product requires a regular voice & SMS
SIM card. Do not use a data-only SIM, as
this will not work in the unit.
To make voice calls on a 4G system
and get optimum service, your SIM and
provider will need to offer VOLTE support
(Voice over LTE) otherwise the unit will be
forced to fall back to 3G or 2G service to make
calls.
Manufacturer warranty does NOT cover
lighting/storm damage. In lightning prone
areas, you MUST fit external surge protection
and a lightning rod to maintain warranty on
this product.

Inserting the SIM card
Power Connections
Perform a final check of wiring and ensure the antenna is connected before switching on the
power. Once the power is switched on, the power LED should illuminate.
Exit Button (PTE)
When the exit button is pressed it will trigger relay 1 for the pre-programmed time in the app. (Default is 1 second)
Please ensure the SIM card is a 4G NANO SIM card. Do not use a SIM
card for a tablet, as these only support data, and do not support voice
and SMS. You simply require a mobile phone type SIM card. If using a
different sim card from the one provided refer to the Cellular Coverage
/ APN section at the end of this document (Pages 34 –35)
It is always good practice to check if the SIM is active by putting it
into a phone and making a call.

Status LEDs
If you send another signal level check, *20#, you may find that if the network mode was on
3G before, that it is now on 4G mode.
CPU
Flashing = standby
Constant ON/OFF = busy
SIGNAL STRENGTH
1 flash = poor (1 bar)
2 flashes = low (2 bars)
3 flashes = good (3 bars)
4 flashes = Strong (4 bars)
5 flashes = searching
POWER
MODEM
Flashing = standby
Constant ON/OFF = searching
Do NOT use fine gauge cable such as CAT5, CAT6, Alarm Cable
etc to power this device as damage will occur.
0-2 metres (6 feet) –min 0.50mm2(18 gauge)
2-4 metres (12 feet) –min 0.75mm2(16 gauge)

The CPU, signal strength and power status LEDs are underneath the
modem and so the diagram below shows the board without the modem for
convenience.
