Product Information
The GSM 2G/3G/4G Gate Opener incorporates a professional industrial grade GSM engine
that receives calls at its sim number, as any ordinary GSM phone. The system operates in
the GSM module quad-band 850/900/1800/1900/2100mhz and has 3G and 4G capabilities
when using a 3G or 4G simcard.
Just to give an example, if your SIM has a phone number 9228 9810555, this is the number
you call to open the gates. The system has a memory where you will store the numbers of
people enabled to open the gate (up to 200). When the Gate Opener receives a call, it will
check the calling number. If the number is a stored number it will reject the call and open the
gate. Therefore, avoiding any call charges being incurred.
The advantages of this over other systems is that you do not have to leave your car to
open the gates, avoiding weather and safety issues. Furthermore, you do not need to carry
around a separate remote device or indeed replace it if it were to get lost!

SIM Active Function
Our GSM Auto Dialler comes with a SIM Active function meaning that it will send a message
every six weeks to a preprogrammed number we at GSM Activate own to prevent the SIM
card being shut down due to inactivity.

Instructi
Slide the simcard into the holder ensuring the clipped corner of the simcard lines up with
the clipped corner of the simcard holder.
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
Please ensure that you disconnect the power when you fit the simcard and you place the
simcard with the clipped corner as shown in the picture above.
Powering the 2G/3G/4G Gate Opener
Connect 240 volts to the input connector as per figure 1. Once power has been applied the
blue network LED light will flash once every second. Once a signal has been found the
green ready LED will come on and stay on indicating the unit is ready to use.
Signal Strength
To help ensure that you place the unit in a suitable position you can text the unit:
#SIGNAL#
The dialler will perform a test on the signal strength. You will then receive a signal strength
score of between 0 up to 30. We strongly recommend placing the unit where you can
receive a signal strength score of at least 10. Anything less than that will render the unit
unreliable.
2G or 3G or 4G
The GSM Gate Opener can work on both 2G ,3G and 4G networks depending on which
model you have. You can choose which network the unit will use at the start up using the
following dipswitch settings
Dipswitch 1 OFF & Dipswitch 2 OFF = Connects to 2G
Dipswitch 1 OFF & Dipswitch 2 ON = Connects to 3G
Dipswitch 1 ON & Dipswitch 2 ON = Connects to 4G
We strongly recommend checking the signal strength on 2G, 3G and 4G and using
which has the highest signal strength score. The signal strength should be at least a
score of 10 for reliability.

How to Programme the 2G/3G/4G GSM Gate Opener
Once the unit has a green LED light it is ready to use. The unit has a caller ID function so
only authorised numbers you store can activate the unit. If caller ID is left OFF anyone
phoning the units number can operate the relays.
PLEASE NOTE - The hashtag and equals symbols have been colour coded to make it
easier.
To turn caller ID on send a text message
#ID=ON#
To turn caller ID off send a text message
#ID=OFF#
NOTE - If you do not require authorised users please skip to the next page.
Programming Caller ID
To programme a number to the caller ID (WHL), send this text message code:
#WHL=NUMBER#
To delete the number send the text message code
#DEL=NUMBER#
Example #WHL=07123456789# Stores your mobile number (max 200 users).
#DEL=07123456789# Deletes your mobile number
If the code is accepted the unit will reply WHL number stored or WHL number deleted
NOTE - You can only send one number at a time, Please send the message and wait for
the text acknowledgement before you attempt to add another number.
Please ensure that you have credit on the simcard to receive the text acknowledgement. It
may take some time to receive a text acknowledgement depending on how busy your
telephone provider is at the time.
Reset Function
For a quick reset and to clear all numbers there is a built in reset function that can be
triggered by sending the text
#RESET#
The unit will remove all WHL numbers stored and return to factory settings

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.
