verview:
The Zartek ireless Multi Intercom System is newly developed and three years of R&D in the making.
It is fully approved by ICASA. Applications for this system include housing complexes, apartments and
office blocks, large estates, long driveways etc.
This system can accommodate 80 separate channels. Communication is initiated from the gatestation
by selecting a 3 digit code such as 001 or 901 and pressing the # button. Only the selected houses
handset will ring and communication is established. 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.
There are 2 triggers that can be activated from the handset for opening a motorized gate or striker lock.
Multiple handsets can be added for the same house to have internal communication. Range is terrain
dependant and is 100m in built-up areas and 350m in more open areas. The external antenna is
mounted as high as possible for improved coverage and audio.
Note: This Installers manual is intended to explain programming and installation, please refer to the
User’s manual for operating instructions.
Setup Procedure:
1) Charge gatestation and handsets for at least 2 hours before programming and testing.
2) Program one code on gatestation manually or via PC. Do not program or pair gatestation outside;
it is easier and better to do all programming on a table before going on site.
3) Pair handsets to programmed codes.
4) Place gatestation near gate (wall or gooseneck). Connect external antenna to gatestation and
mount temporarily for testing.
5) Do range tests to furthest point of usage. Test handset audio and gate triggering in actual house
or unit. Press code on gatestation and answer on handset.
6) Place antenna higher if more range is required.
7) If range test is successful, program all names and unit codes.
8) Pair each handset or handsets on same code individually.
9) Once all paired, test communication from each handset.
10) Mount gatestation and external antenna. Connect to fixed power and gate controller board.
11) Place each handset in unit and do final communications test.

Power
Use only the supplied 12v DC supply. It is a switching power supply which has more stable voltage
output than an AC adapter. Connect 12v wires to connection block at the back of the intercom. There is
no polarity needed. Do not use any other supply such as 12v battery back-up systems. Insert the Li-ion
battery connector into the Li-ion battery socket (refer to Figure below) and connect the power supply.
The battery will charge when connected to 12v DC. Use battery power for programming and range
testing. In case the gate station is not used for a long period of time, it is recommended to disconnect the
battery connector from the socket, otherwise the Li battery will run flat. In case of power outage, the
battery will last for 4-5 hours under normal usage.
Programming
Programming can be done manually or via a PC. If there are multiple houses is recommended to use PC
programming to enter all the house names and numbers. Manual programming is used to make small
changes, add new houses or program a few users. Once the gatestation is programmed with names and
unit numbers the handsets can be paired.
Manual Programming

one handset (or handsets if you need multiple handset for same house no.) also under
PAIRING mode nearby. Once the handset receives the signal from gate station
successfully, the selected house no. will be shown in the LCD of handset.
Note : If the selected house no. is not a no. that is previously programmed into the unit,
PAIRING will not be executed ( the word “ PAIRING “ will not flash in the LCD). The unit
will return back to standby mode after 3 incorrect entries.
4. Handset pairing
The LCD will initially show “ 000” and then show the paired house no. once the pairing process
is successful. Take out battery from handset, install back again and press K2 to switch on unit,
the handset is now ready for operation.
Note: In case the house no. shown on LCD is different from the intended pairing no., repeat
pairing process again.
5. All handsets
The pairing process should be carried for every house no. programmed in the unit so that there is
at least one handset paired with each house no.
6. Backgate station
Once the front gate station is paired to the respective handsets, use PC programming to read all
the data stored in front gate station and then write such data into the back gate station.
utline of pairing process steps:
Take handset/s and get into Pairing mode
Press **238 on gatestation and enter 6 digit PIN to begin pairing
Place all handsets and gatestation flat on table
Press 3 digit code to be paired to handsets and press enter
Code should be displayed on handset within a few seconds
Repeat process with each handset and code

Back gatestation
It is possible to add an additional gatestation to be used on another entrance or exit, for instance to be
notified when visitors want to exit. The functions of the back gatestation are similar to the front station
as all the same names and codes are stored on the station. Gate triggering is limited in that a call has to
be initiated from the back gatestation in order to be able to trigger the gate it is connected to.
Programming a gatestation:
Once the front gate has been programmed and all the handsets paired the front gate will be able to clone
a backgate station. Note that if any changes are made to the front gate programming such as new names,
numbers or additional handsets, the back gate will need to be updated again via PC cloning.
Enter PC programming mode on both the front and back gate
Connect the front gate to the PC using the cable and READ from gatestation (left icon).
The PC will load all the programming on the screen
Now connect the back gate station and RITE to station (right icon)
The station is ready to use.
System busy function (if required)
This function is used to block any communication from either front or back gatestation whilst another
conversation is in progress. A hard wire connection is required between the 2 gatestations. There is a 3
core wire coming from the back of each gate station, the colour of wires are red, white and black. Connect
red to red, black to black and white to white.
If you do not connect these wires, the gate station will still perform normally but will not have the system
busy function.
hen either the front or back station is making call, the remaining station cannot make any calls until the
station in use finishes the call. The screen of remaining station will show:
“SYSTEM IN USE PLEASE AIT”
Above text will be shown until the station in use finishes the call. In case a visitor tries to make a call when
this text is shown on screen, the station will just ignore the input and provide no response.
hen two visitors approach the front and gate station at same time and try to make a call, the visitor who
first press the CALL button can initiate the call, the remaining station cannot make a call and screen will
show “ SYSTEM IN USE PLEASE AIT”

Reset to factory/default setting
Under standby mode, short circuit the two solder pads A & B for over 25 sec (with power supply
connected), all programmed data will be erased and the unit returns to factory default setting. (i.e. PIN is
111111). The gatestation can also be reset using the PC programming and clicking the “Return to factory
settings” button
Range and External antenna
The gatestation has been designed to be used with an external antenna. Typical range with the antenna
mounted is 100m in built-up areas and 350m in more open areas. Heavily built up areas will affect the
range significantly and possible reduce maximum range to less than 100m. Further range is always
possible with higher placing of the antenna or by using the handset with external antenna. Place the
external antenna in a vertical orientation on top of poles, walls or a roof. It is important to place the
antenna away for metal or concrete. If the antenna must be placed against a wall or building, range will
be good in front of the building but low behind the structure. The antenna mount uses a “L” bracket and
includes plugs and screws.
Connect the cable at the back of gatestation to the antenna cable and ensure
that the ends are fitted tightly. Extra 3m lengths of cable are available although it is advised not to
exceed the length by 10m as power will be lost.
Booster handset
The ZA613 handset has an internal antenna and is therefore portable. Clarity and signal quality will be
affected if there are many obstructions between the house and the gate such as trees, walls or buildings.
It is then advisable to use a booster handset ZA613-E where a fixed external antenna with 6m of cable is
permanently connected directly to the handset. Better audio and reception will be achieved by mounting
the antenna outside the building and at some height so that there is clearer line-of-sight to the gate
stations antenna.

Gate Triggering
The gatestation has 2 separate triggers used to opening/closing gates. Both gates can be triggered from
the handset. During a call the door lock button is pressed once to activate and under standby the buttons
must be pressed in for 3 seconds in order to trigger.
The contacts are located at the back of the intercom. Lock A is a 1amp pulse output of the 12V supply.
This is used to trigger strike locks such as used for pedestrian gates. If Lock A is used to trigger a
standard gate motor it is essential to use the supplied relay board as shown in the figure below.
Lock B is a 300mA dry contact which is normally open. Once the Lock B trigger is activated the pins of
Lock B will connect and make a short circuit and close. This connection can be connected directly to the
gate controller board of a gate motor. It is advisable to also use a relay board for trigger B to isolate the
gatestation from power surges etc. The connection is different as the power wires to the relay should be
connected in series with the trigger B contacts.
A standard receiver can also be connected on the gate controller board in parallel with the gatestation if
remotes are required.
Connection to a gate motor using DC power
There is no required polarity for the DC connections
although the relay board has polarity. If pin 1 is 0v and pin2
12v, so pin A will be 0V and pin C 12v when triggered.
Connect the relay board as shown with Pin A to the Neg (0V)
contact and Pin C to the Pos (12V) contact. The relay has a
LED light which will light-up when triggered. Connect the
Com and N.O. pins of the relay board to the Com and Trg pins
on the gate controller board.

1. The caller unit has been designed to be splash and rain proof. Ensure that the rubber buttons,
keypad bracket and plate cover are fitted well when installation is complete.
2. Select a location near your door entrance against a wall. The gatestation can be mounted against a
gooseneck and be covered with a metal housing as the antenna is external and range will not be
affected.
3. It is advised that the intercom is not installed in the vicinity of other electronic devices that may
reduce the operating range such as electric fences, cameras etc.
4. Use the supplied self tap crews to fix the mounting bracket onto the wall. The supplied paper mask
at the end of this manual can be helpful in drilling the correct position of holes.
5. Align the two rivets on the mounting bracket with the holes of the metal hangers on the back of the
caller unit, make contact and slide the unit upward. Screw in the supplied machine screw to fix the
caller unit in position.
The caller unit is housed in a high impact ABS/PC cabinet strengthened by an aluminum alloy front
cover to achieve professional grade ruggedness required in most outdoor application. Rubber gaskets
seals around all joints and terminals 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 -30°C to
55°C.
