How to Achieve & Maintain IP55 Rating The IP55 rating attached to this unit is only achieved if the below steps have been followed. This is to prevent any unwanted water and/or bug ingress that can cause various issues with functionality and will void warranty if not followed. Step 1 –...
Power & Antenna This intercom comes with a 24v dc power supply. The intercom requires up to 2 amps peak demand at times, therefore power cable is of extreme importance. Please adhere to the cable thickness guide below or the device may be damaged and rendered out of warranty by the manufacturer.
Solar Power You can use solar power if required. You will require a DC voltage regulator applied at the gate board end as the voltage output can vary and cause too high a voltage, which will damage the intercom if over the 26v DC. Our systems would require as a minimum a 30W of solar panel capacity and 10ah battery capacity for our intercoms.

Sound, Volumes and Speech Serial Number This intercom is capable of full duplex speech, which means two people can have a conversation and appear to speak at the same time. Since various manufacturers of android phones, iPhones and tablets all differ in acoustic performance, and different users may require varying levels of volume on their own handset, it may be possible to setup some devices in full duplex mode, but Ethernet others may need to be set in half duplex mode (phone user will press to talk).

Troubleshooting It is worth remembering that when you install this intercom, you are only supplying one piece of the overall system. The customer’s chosen device will be connected to WIFI or a different cellular network which means there are now three pieces to this system. Anything can go wrong with any part of that entire system.

4G Router Maintenance If using a pre-pay casual SIM card it will need topped up occasionally. It is recommended to register the SIM card on the provider’s web site if available. Most major networks allow registration of card payment details for an auto top up feature, which means they will automatically top up your intercom when the balance runs low or in some cases, they offer a low balance reminder to be sent if they do not wish the auto top up feature.
How to Change Router APN / Check Signal Step 1: Connect to the router: a) PC/Laptop = Connect direct using LAN cable (Computer LAN port to LAN 2 on router PCB) << DIRECT CONNECTION >> b) Mobile = Connect the AES 4G Router to an available LAN port on another router that has Wi-Fi.
