Product Information
The GSM Gate Intercom 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 850/900/1800/1900Mhz.
When a visitor arrives at your property they will press the call button on the intercom which
will then connect to a phone number up to 3 numbers can be added which will be rung in a
sequence of your choosing. Once you answer the phone and speak to them you can then
open the gate from your phone and let them in remotely from wherever you are in the world.
You can also open the gates by dialling the simcard number held within the unit and also by
pressing a combination of your choice on the keypad.
The advantages of this over other systems are that you do not have to leave the car to open
your gates, avoiding weather or safety issues, you don't need to carry around a separate
remote device or indeed replace it if it were to get lost!

Installing your simcard
New SIM cards will need registering before they can be used. Full details of how this is done
can normally be found in the SIM card pack. It will normally require that the simcard is inserted
into a mobile phone, a number dialed and instructions followed. While the SIM is in the mobile
phone it would be a good time to disable any PIN codes, call diverts, ring back and disable
features such as voicemail and text alerts.
Details of how to do this is found on the SIM card provider’s web site or by calling their
customer services. Please use one of the following SIM card providers (Vodafone, TMobile,
O2/Giff Gaff or Orange). We do not recommend using 3 at this present time
Please be advised that if the intercom will be used on a regular basis, we would
recommend a contract based sim card as pay as you go call charges can be as high as
25p per call.
The GSM Gate Intercom has a built in “sim active function” which keeps track of the unit’s
activity. If there has been no usage for 6 weeks it will send out a text message to a preset
recorded number to keep the simcard alive. This then eliminates the problem of sims being
shut down if they are unused for 3 months.
Activate and put credit on your simcard and disable voicemail using the following codes
Vodaphone: call 1210 Tesco call 2915
T-Mobile: call 222 O2 call 1760
Orange: call 4502 Giff Gaff call 1626
EE - send the text message command VM OFF to 150
Please see page 5 if you wish to keep your voicemail activated.
1: Slide back the sim door and lift it up.
2: Slide the simcard in to the door making sure that the clipped corner of the simcard lines up
with the clipped corner of the sim holder.
3: Close the sim door.
4: Slide the sim door to lock the simcard in place.
Connect 12v – 24v DC to the input connector as per figure 1. *Important DC Only
Once power has been applied (referring to figure 1) the blue network LED light will flash once
every second whilst searching for a mobile signal. Once it has found one it will then revert to
flashing once every 3 seconds.
You can identify the signal strength by the 3 LED’s.
Red – poor,
Amber - average,
Green – good
You can also check signal strength by holding down the P1 BUTTON for 3 seconds.
We strongly recommend that the unit has at least an average signal strength for reliability.

Programming Dial to Open Gate Entry (Caller ID)
You can open the gate direct from a mobile phone or landline by calling the simcard number.
Once you call the number the GSM Intercom will reject the call but will take the command to
open the gate.
We have a caller ID function controlled by dipswitch 2, if this is set to ON only the numbers
stored on the simcard will be accepted to open the gate. If set to OFF there is no caller ID
security and any caller can open the gate.
To program the caller ID function you will need to do the following
Step 1 – Enter a (hash) then your (keycode) (star) then caller phone number you want
stored then (hash) and the position in your caller ID list (you can store up to Max
80 numbers).
Example #1234*07713055002#01 – To enter a number to position 01
Example #1234*07895622547#80 – To enter a number to position 80
If the code is accepted you will hear 5 beeps. If it is incorrect you will hear a singular long
beep. In the above example you have programmed 07713055002 as position 01 in your caller
ID list and 07895622547 as position 80 in your caller ID list.
To Delete a number you type in (hash), (key code), (star), (hash), then caller ID number.
Example #1234*#01 To delete your position 1 number in your caller ID list.
If the code is accepted you will hear 5 beeps. If it is incorrect you will hear a singular long
beep.
To open the gate permanently from your phone you can send a text #OPEN
To close the gate just ring the simcard number this will reset and the gate will close.
We recommend keeping a seperate list of numbers stored and their positions in case you
need to amend in the future.

Voicemail Settings
Our intercom will skip to the next number if it hits an active voicemail for example, the phone
is switched off and goes straight to voicemail. However if the phone rings and then your
voicemail answers the intercom will treat the voicemail as a received call and will not skip to
the next user. To fix this problem we recommend using the following codes to make sure your
voicemail does not answer before the intercom has skipped to the next number.
Example You have P1 set to ON which means it skips to the next number at 13 seconds.
You will program your phone for voicemail to answer at 15 seconds.
EE - **61*07953222222**XX#
O2 - **61*901*11*XX#
T-Mobile **61yourownmobilenumberwithnospaces**XX#
Tesco- **61*905*11*XX#
Orange - **61*07953100123**X
Giff Gaff - **61*443*10XX#
In all our examples the Xxs stand for the number of seconds you’d like the phone to ring for
before voicemail kicks in. So replace the Xxs with 30 to enable your phone to ring for half a
minute before the call diverts. Most providers allow you to increase the time in 5 second
intervals. There are limits as to how long you can make the ring last for. Most providers set a
cap at 30 seconds.
Note:
To avoid confusion we have colour coded the hash (#) and the star (*) symbols.
Program keypad Entry
You can open the gate via the keypad with a 4 digit keypad access code
The factory key code default is 1234
To change this number you need to do the following.
Step 1 – Enter the current code with a hash before and after the code.
Step 2 – Enter the new key code followed by hash
Example #1234#1111# To change the keycode.
If the code is accepted you will hear 5 beeps. If it is incorrect you will hear a singular long
beep and you will need to start again.
In the above example you have now changed your key code to 1111
You can now just type in the new key code 1111 and the gate will open.
You can reset the key code to factory settings by holding down the P1 Button for 10 seconds.
This will reset back to 1234.

 When installing the aerial antenna cable please ensure that the cable leaves the back box by
the shortest possible route and is not coiled up and left inside the intercom.
 Do not stick the aerial onto any metal surface. This will degrade the signal strength
received
 Only use the 12 volts DC power supply supplied with the kit.
