Features of the Intercom/Keypad
The INTERCOM has two separate units . The KEYPAD (outside unit) should be mounted outside the gate allowing the driver of the
vehicle approaching the property to press the CALL button from their vehicle . The BASE (inside unit), with it's rechargeable battery,
can be plugged into any 110 Volt AC outlet for use while charging . It can also be disconnected from the charger allowing it to go any
where within range for convenience . Up to three additional BASES can be added for convenience in different locations throughout
the house .
When someone without an access code approaches the gate, they can press the CALL button on the keypad which will ring the
BASE unit inside the house . To answer the CALL, the person inside presses and holds the ANSWER button to talk to the person
at the gate, releasing the ANSWER button to listen . To allow the person calling to open the gate, the GRANT PERMISSION button
must be pressed . Then the person at the gate can press any number key on the KEYPAD to open the gate . The "END CALL" button
terminates the calls and the "ON/OFF" switch can be used to conserve power when using unit on battery .
Up to 25 different personal entry codes may be programmed into the KEYPAD, allowing you to give different temporary and
permanent entry codes to different users . For example, you can give a delivery person their own temporary entry code, which you
can easily change after he has made the delivery . This will prevent him from being able to regain access, while still allowing those to
whom you gave permanent entry codes full access .
After entering a valid code, pressing any key on the KEYPAD while the gate is opening will stop the gate; pressing any key while
the gate is stopped will cause the gate to reverse direction . The KEYPAD will not affect the auto-close setting of your gate opener
system .
The KEYPAD number pad will light up and the unit will beep at the press of any key . The KEYPAD memory will recognize your
entry code in a string of up to 20 digits . If it finds the correct sequence, it will activate the gate opener . As a security feature, the
keypad will shut down for 40 seconds if it does not find the correct code sequence within a 20 digit string . This will discourage an
unauthorized person from trying to use random numbers to access your property .
Your entry codes will remain stored in memory even when the batteries go dead . The KEYPAD will remember your entry codes as
long as you don't press the RESET button .
IMPORTANT: In areas of high radio frequency (RF) interference, the KEYPAD may need to be connected (hard wired) directly to the
gate opener using 16 gauge (AWG) stranded, direct burial, low voltage wire (part no . RB509 not included) .
Also in areas of high radio frequency (RF) interference, the BASE unit may not communicate with the KEYPAD and will require
extending the antenna from the KEYPAD closer to the house co-ax cable (RG59 or RG6 which is not included) . See page 8 for
details .
