How to use the gate switch
Using your mobile or landline phone, dial the simcard number, you will hear 1 ring tone.
The unit will automatically hang up this will prevent any call charges, the relay will then
pulse for a period of time, this time is adjustable from Dip switch 2, switching on pulses the
relay for 2 seconds, switching off pulses the relay for 4 seconds. This will send a signal to
your gate control board to open the gate.
Texting the gate to open
If you need to keep the gate permanently open, you can text the unit #OPEN
To close the gate all you need to do is just telephone the simcard number this will cancel
the relay and close the gate.
Pedestrian Access
#PED
Relay 2 controls the pedestrian gate. You will need to text
This will pulse relay 2 on for 3 ½ seconds. This should be sufficient time to open one gate
to allow for pedestrian access.
Signal Strength
To help make sure that you place the unit in a suitable position you can text the unit to see
how much signal strength you have by texting #SS
this is the signal
(IN UPPER CASE )
strength. You will receive a text telling you if it is GOOD,
AVERAGE
or POOR. We
strongly recommend that you place the unit where you can get at least an average signal .
You will find that with a poor signal it will be unreliable.
Note
The unit has a "sim active" function which monitors the activity on the simcard and if it has
been inactive for 6 weeks it sends a phone call out to a pre-recorded number. This will
then eliminate the problem of sim's getting shut down if they are unused for 3 months.
