Bell generates into a call short beeps for time of input activation. Voice signalling of different status. Up settings might be different status signalling by voice . ( language adjustable). When is voice signalling presented during a call it is hearable on both sides of connection (for example „open“) Detection of start/restart.

Examples of relays connection Basic connection - 2 electrical locks and possibility control 2 doors 2x PSU – possibility to use 2x PSU independently. First for GSM-VB and second for electrical locks.Electrical lock number is connected reversally (emergency exit). Activation of external camera or light. Combination of electrical lock and external bell.

Connection of extending modules VBD10(5)-mod Buttons extending modules are VBD10-mod with 10 buttons and VBD5-mod with 5 buttons. Buttons numbering will be explain further but it is done on each button module by DIP switch (6). PCB board with components VBDx-mod is connected to button module by screw terminal only (5) and via 3 wire cable (4).
Page 14
Example of connection VBD10-mod and VBDKey Connection of each extending modules is done by flat cable K1. Nearest extending module to basic module is connected by cable K2. Modules numbering is setup by DIP switches (6) of each module. It not depends on connection order of each module but on DIP switch setting.
Page 15
Buttons numbering Modules button numbering depends on DIP switch setting only. Button name is allways descripe by alphabetic B (button), button number (via button numbering) and after dash by order marking of phone number assigned to button. For example: B1-1 is mark of phone number for button 1 which will be dialled as first in order (etc..
Page 17
Modules numbering is on picture. In left part are modules with 5 buttons VBD5-mod and in right part are moduleswith 10 buttons VBD10-mod. The module with desired number you find on this picture and next on the left is combination of DIP switch (6), which you have to setup on module!

Mounting process: A. Preparation of mounting holes in the wall – recommended height is about 160cm from ground. Dimension of holes depends on number of modules and here we mention dimensions for 1,2 and 3 modules (basic mounting boxes). The bigger sets are completed from those boxes by their combination ( under or next each other).

2. Switch ON GSM-VB When you have connected required wires (relays, locks,etc...) CAUTION for antenna, connect power supply. Red LED will light up and after few seconds start flashing yellow LED (via table). The GSM-VB by tones eventually by voice signalling SIM card reading, logging to GSM network and readiness for operation (via table).

Simpliest mode – selected relay will close after inserted code from keypad for preprogrammed time. (via parametr time of relay activation further in manual) After code insert the relay close in preprogrammed days of week only.The GSM-VB might also calculate number of used codes and when number exceed preprogrammed value (for example number of prepaid entrances) the code is refused.

After inserting the code relay is activated in range of setup dates (included). Code using might be announced by sending SMS with date, time and used codes Setting of month and day from which is access permitted Setting of month and day until which is access permitted After code insert the relay is activated from setup date.
