Overview:
The Zartek Digital Wireless Intercom is our third generation system newly developed following six
years of R&D. It is fully approved by ICASA. Applications for this system include houses, offices,
cottages, security access points This system is well suited for self installation.
The gatestation is a single button which can be linked to as many handsets or extra gatestations as
needed. Communication is simplex so only one person can speak at a time but the gatestation’s
microphone is always active so the visitor does not have to press any key to speak. The inside
handset can enter into the conversation at any time by pressing a PTT button. Gate opening and
closing is triggered from the handset for a motorized gate or striker lock. Range is terrain dependant
and is 50-70m in built-up areas and more in open areas.
Thank you for purchasing this Digital Wireless Doorphone System. Your system has been manufac-
tured and checked under the strictest possible quality control to ensure that each system leaves the
factory in perfect condition. In the unlikely event you find any defect or experience any problem,
please contact our service center or dealer, do not attempt to repair by yourself.
Please read this manual carefully to obtain optimum performance and extended sevice life from the
system.

1. The supplied Li polymer battery pack is already installed in the handset. To replace, press
down the lock button 16 and slide open the battery door, take out the battery pack and
disconnect from socket 18 .
2. Keep the handset switched off and place it into the charger stand.
3. Plug in the supplied AC switching power supply into an AC outlet and connect its output
plug to the DC jack 21 located at the back of charger stand.
4. The charging indicator 20 should light up red during charging process. Adjust the position of
handset in charger stand in case this indicator does not light up. During charging, the battery
level icon P will show up in LCD and the segments inside the icon will flash in turn.
5. The battery pack should be fully charged up within 4 hours when used for the first time.
The charging indicator 20 will show steady green. The icon P will disappear or remain
shown up in LCD if unit is switched on.
6. Now the unit can be switched on and ready for operation. Either take out the unit or keep
it in the cradle permanetly. No damage will be caused to the battery. In the latter case,
when the battery is being consumed and voltage falls to a certain level, the charger stand
will automatically charge up the battery. The segments inside the icon P will flash in
turn whenever the unit is under charging.

Handset
Handset can remain permanently in the cradle and it will not overcharge.
Battery life out the cradle is 15 hours on normal use.
If the handset behaves strangely or does not turn on, reset it by removing and replacing
battery.
A. Power Supply
Caller unit
Battery:
Battery supply is only intended for back up power as the batteries will run flat within a few
days if no other supply is connected.
With the supplied tool, loosen the screw that hold the unit from mounting bracket. The screws
are specially made for anti-theft purpose, it is necessary to keep the tool in safe place as you
may need it later when replacing batteries. Insert three UM-4 size AAA alkaline cells into
battery compartment, observe correct polarity. We strongly recommend using alkaline
batteries instead of rechargeable batteries because at low temperature (below 0˚C),
rechargeable type has poor performance and its capacity will fall.
12v Supply
For permanent installations, the gatestation must be powered from 12v. You can use the
supplied 12v power supply or 12v DC from a gate motor. Connect the DC supply to the
terminals 8 at the back marked with .
In case of DC supply failure, the unit will automatically switch to power from alkaline batteries
(if installed).
MOUNTING
BRACKET
Getting Started
Range Test
Typical range is 50-70m from the gate to house. If the area is very built-up or full of trees the range
may be lower. Range will improve when there are less obstructions in the way. Placement of
gatestations and handsets will affect the range so make sure to choose places as open as possible
away from metal, concrete or electrical devices.
It is recommended to conduct a range test before installing to determine where to mount the
gatestation and place the handsets. Two people need to do the test.
1) Power the gatestation with 3 x AAA alkaline batteries
2) Fully charge the handset
3) Temporarily place the gatestation near the gate, gooseneck or wall and press the bell
4) Answer on the handset and walk to the various places in the house to check audio quality
5) Handset should be left to charge in the location with best audio
6) Permanently install the gatestation, connect 12v and relay to control gate

1. Place the caller unit and handset close to each other within a distance of 1m.
2. With the handset in switch off mode, press and hold Power ON/OFF button 12 and
door lock open button 13 together for around 3 sec to enter pairing mode. The LCD
will become backlighted and show a flashing letter “ ”.
3. Press and hold the pairing button 7 at back of caller unit while installing the alkaline
batteries. The call indicator 4 will start flashing after 3 sec, showing that the caller unit
has entered pairing mode.
Perform same for the caller unit that is intended to be used in backgate.
4. Now release the pairing button 7 , press call button 1 on the frontgate caller unit
(DO NOT press call button on the backgate caller unit) . Two “Di Di” sound will be heard
and at the same time, the letter “ ” and (or in case there is a backgate caller
unit) will show steady in LCD of handset once pairing is successful. The call indicator
4 on both frontgate & backgate caller unit should stop flashing and remain steady on.
5. Long press the Power ON/OFF button 12 to switch off handset. Take out the alkaline
batteries from caller unit and then re-install again or connect to the 12V DC supply.
6. The doorphone is now ready for operation.
If the pairing process is not successful ( the “ ” continues to flash in LCD of handset), repeat
the procedures from step 1 again.
N.B. In case you are having two or more handsets as well as backgate caller unit, always
perform pairing process with all caller units and handsets together and with the handsets
being set in pairing mode first.
Remember every time you add on new units to the system, either handset or caller unit (for
backgate use), it is necessary to perform the pairing process all over again with all the units
together or otherwise the new units will not work with your original system.

Location:
Select a suitable place for the gatestation such as on a gooseneck or wall. The mounting
plate should be fitted on a flat wall surface so the provided screws will fix properly. It is very
important that the gatestation is not embedded into a wall or covered by any metal rain shield
or cover. Wireless radio signals will be blocked by concrete or metal so for maximum range,
use a gooseneck with the smallest metal backing plate. For maximum range it is also
recommended not to mount the gatestation near other electronic equirment.
Power:
Connection the 12v DC supply ( provided power supply) or from a gatemotor to the terminals
at the back of the gatestation . A connector with plug has been provided for your
convenience to be able to disconnect easily. If the provided power supply is not used, it is still
recommended to use the plug which must be cut off the power supply.
Gate triggering can only be done if there is a 12v supply connected.
There are 3 trigger output connections. Points A,C give a 12v output and A,B a 0v when triggered
and . It is recommended using the provided relay board which will protect and
isolate the gatestation from any surges. The relay board POS and NEG connections should
be linked to the points A,C and the LED on the relay will light when the gatestation is triggered
from the handset. Connect the COM and N.O. points on the relay board to the COM and TRG
points on the gate controller board.
Where DC supply is available, the call button 1 will be automatically illuminated once
the environment gets dark. This feature and electric door latch opening feature will not operate
when using alkaline batteries so as to keep long battery life.
CAUTION : When using DC supply, in case the electric door latch does not function, reverse
the polarity connected to and try again.

B. Pairing the Handset and Caller unit
This process is to match the caller unit with handset so that they can communicate with each
other while no other devices (even doorphone of identical model) can interfere with you or
receiving your signal.
The caller unit and handset are already paired with factory preset code when they are
shipped from factory. However, we recommend you perform pairing again to achieve better
privacy and to avoid false triggering of door lock from nearby doorphone system.
To perform pairing process, it is necessary to use alkaline batteries as power supply in the
caller unit while the12V DC supply should be disconnected temporarily.

opening button 13 is pressed, this voltage will drop to 0V temporarily for 3 seconds.
Always open
These two terminals normally provide 0V. During communication, once the door lock opening
button 13 is pressed, the terminals will provide a 12V supply temporarily for 3 seconds.
Under no circumstances should AC mains Voltage be directly connected to the terminal
blocks 8 .
Auxiliary terminal
These two terminals act like a switch and will be short circuited as long as the door bell
button 1 is pressed, however, there is no voltage supply from the terminals. They can be
used to trigger a conventional door chime or a courtesy light at the entrance.
Now insert the 3 pcs AAA (UM-4) alkaline batteries into battery compartment as this can
serve as a battery back-up in case the 12V DC supply fails.
Install back the caller unit onto mounting bracket using the supplied tool.
The caller unit is housed in a high impact ABS/PC cabinet which can achieve professional
grade ruggedness required in most outdoor application. Rubber gaskets seals around all
joints keep out dust, rain, snow and spray, assuring years of reliable operation even in harsh
environment. The unit meets to IP-54 standard and can operate from -20˚C to 50˚C.

Answering Call
Upon receiving a call, either icon A or icon B appears on the screen, depending the call
is from the front gate or back gate (in case you have purchased an optional caller unit for back
gate). The handset can answer the call by pressing the Answer button 11 and the reception
mode icon D will show up in LCD.
Now conversation is possible and the voice of visitor can be heard from speaker 17 . To talk back
to visitor, press and hold the PTT button 14 and speak towards the Microphone 15 , reception mode
icon D goes off. Release PTT button 14 after finish speaking so you can now listen to visitor,

while pressing the PTT button 14 . Upon finishing a conversation, press the Hang up button 12
to end the call.
This system has an automatic end call feature. In case the resident does not talk back to visitor (i.e.
press the PTT button 14 ) for over 90 sec, the call will be ended automatically.
Door Opening/Closing
Once a call has been answered, you can use the Door lock open button 13 to remotely open
the electric door latch for visitor (this function is only available if there is 12V DC supply to the caller
unit and your door is equipped with an electric latch). Press the button 13 shortly, wait for 4-5
seconds and the icon M appears on the screen, showing the door latch is opened. The icon
M will disappear after 3 sec.
Under standby mode (i.e. when no call is set up between handset and caller unit), the electric door
latch can also be opened by long press of button 13 for over 2 sec. The Call indicator 4 on
caller unit also light up for 2 sec.
To avoid misuse by children, this door lock opening function can be activated or deactivated. When
deactivated, pressing the button 13 will have no effect.
Deactivate door lock opening feature
Under normal operating mode, press shortly the button 10 , then within a period of 2 sec, press
shortly the button 13 . The Door lock de-activated icon R will show up on LCD screen.
Activate door lock opening feature
Perform same procedure as above, the Door lock de-activated icon R will disappear from the
LCD screen.
Multiple Hansets
For system equipped with several handsets, all the handsets will be alerted with an incoming call.
However, only the handset which first press the Answer button 11 can set up conversation
with caller unit. The remaining handsets will return to standby mode and their buttons become de-
activated until the conversation ends, making them impossible to interfere with the conversation.
Missed Call
In the event of an unanswered call from a visitor (e.g. you are away from home or located at a place
which is out of range from the caller unit), the icon C will appear on the screen. This icon is
useful to remind you somebody has called. Press any button momentarily to remove this icon.
Out-of-range Alert
Whenever a handset is located at a spot which is outside the communication range of the caller unit
(either front of back gate), an alarm will be heard and the icon E will appear on the screen.
Such alarm cannot be immediate and will alert you only when you are out of range for over 2
minutes (when 12V DC supply is available or 20 minutes if battery is used). Press any button
momentarily can stop the alarm but the icon E still remains. Once the handset falls back in
range, the alarm will stop and the icon E disappears.
N.B. This out of range alert will also occur in case the batteries of caller unit run down and its DC
power is cut off.
Low Gatestation Battery or No Power Alert
Under normal operation, the back-up alkaline battery inside the caller unit (we suggest using good
quality battery such as Duracell) can last for 2-3 months. When there is no 12V DC supply and the
batteries become run down, the icon N appears on the screen and an alarm will be heard,
reminding you to replace with new batteries in the respective caller unit. Press any button momen-
tarily can stop the alarm but the icon N still remains until new batteries are installed.
N.B. In case the handset is out of range and the caller unit battery low happen at same time, then
only the out of range icon E is shown and its alarm will be heard.
Outdoor Temperature
The outdoor temperature indication provides you with an idea about the weather which is useful if
you plan to go outside of your home. When the system is first installed, the LCD will show the
default setting of - -˚C. Once the caller unit senses the outdoor temperature, the correct reading will
be shown on the LCD of handset. To obtain a correct reading of outdoor temperature, the
ventilation to temperature sensor 6 should not be blocked.
Handset Buttons
Whenever the buttons (except PTT button 14 ) on handset are pressed, a tone will be heard to
validate your entry.
Gatestation Backlight
Once the Light sensor 5 detects a low light intensity, the Call button 1 on caller unit will
become automatically backlighted (only if 12V DC supply is available).
