4000 Series GSM Audio Intercom with Proximity Technical Information ART. 4800M PROGRAMMING GUIDE Initial Programming All programming is carried out using the keypad. The programming menu is protected by an engineer’s code. The factory default engineer’s code is ‘111111’ (6x1). This code can be changed to any 4 to 8 digit engineer’s code during the programming, but must be different to the access codes used to gain entry.

4000 Series GSM Audio Intercom with Proximity Wiring Diagrams CONNECTING TO A GATE CONTROLLER (USING THE ART.120 OPTO-ISOLATOR PCB) If the GSM intercom is going to be connected to a set of gate controls then it is recommended that the GSM relay is connected with the Art.120 opto-isolator pcb provided with the GSM kit.
4000 Series GSM Audio Intercom with Proximity Auxiliary Inputs/Outputs AUXILIARY OUTPUT AO1 The auxiliary output AO1 has six modes 00 - 05 and is set using the A1M command (refer to page 35 for full list of A1M programming modes). It is an open collector output (switched low, 150mA max.) and depending on the mode it is set to will determine how the AO1 output behaves.
Page 22
4000 Series GSM Audio Intercom with Proximity Auxiliary Inputs/Outputs AO1 SET TO MODE 02, ‘STATUS INDICATION’ When set to mode 02 auxiliary output AO1 is used exclusively as a monitoring input. For example, checking if a gate/door is open or closed. Once set the AO1 input status can be interrorgated in two ways: 1.
