SYSTEM INTRODUCTION
The system is designed to work on the same technology as mobile phones. It enables a call to be made from an entry point (door,
gate etc), to any telephone number (mobile or land line). Up to 50 call buttons can be connected to the door panel, each able to
call four telephone numbers (if the first is busy or not answered, the call can be diverted to up to three different numbers). The
standard GSM PRO intercom works on a 2G network. A 3G variant is also available (suffix /3G to the part number e.g. Art.4810-0/3G,
Art.4810-1/3G etc.). Features of the system include:
• A dry contact relay output and push to exit input;
• Two open collector auxiliary outputs and two auxiliary inputs;
• Integrated Proximity Access Control (up to 1000 proximity fobs or cards can be stored, these fobs/cards when presented to
the nameplate window on the GSM PRO intercom or directly in front of the Art.4850R expansion reader will activate the
door/gate relay);
• Call progress speech annunciation and call progress LED indication;
• Dial to Open facility (this feature enables up to 1000 stored numbers to dial the GSM PRO intercom, the intercom panel will
not answer these calls, but will activate the door/gate relay without being charged for the call);
• Programmable call button timeband facility (a single timeband only);
• Programmable access control timeband facility (up to 10 timebands);
• Programmable free access timeband facility (up to 10 timebands);
• Up to 10 programmable access levels;
• Micro USB connection for ease of programming using the GSMSK PC software (version 4.0.0.0 or later);
• RS485 bus terminals for connecting additional 'slave' devices including coded keypads (Art.4903) and additional proximity
readers (Art.4850R), up to a maximum of 8 devices, also used for ease of programming using the GSMSK PC software;
• Integrated bootloader function for updating intercom panel firmware via the GSMSK PC software;
• Event logging system that can record up to 4000 events which can be downloaded via the GSMSK PC software;
• Remote event logging facility (unlimited events) which can be monitored in real time (also refer to additional notes on page
71 under user management).
Programming of the telephone numbers (primary no, divert no's and dial to open no's) and the additional features including
programming key fobs for the integrated proximity reader and additional proximity readers, programming access codes for
additional coded keypads, timebands, access levels etc. can be carried out via text messaging (refer to notes programming the
GSM intercom on pages 37 - 61) or using the GSMSK PC software (refer to the manual GSMSK_66251720_EN_V2-0 or later).
SIM CARD SELECTION
A SIM card is required for this product but not supplied by Videx. The GSM PRO intercom can only accept a standard size SIM card
(refer to the following SIM card size chart), both a micro-SIM and nano-SIM are not suitable. It is recommended to choose the SIM
card which has the best coverage for the area in which the intercom panel will be installed. Both contract and 'Pay as you go' SIM
cards can be used, however if using a 'Pay as you go' we would recommend setting up an automatic top up to avoid running short
on credit and losing the use of the intercom panel. Alternatively if you already have a contract mobile phone it should be possible
to get a second SIM card and telephone number on the existing account. For more information contact the SIM card provider or
visit their website.
