OPERATION

Visitor mode
When the visitor pushes the call button, the device initiates a voice call to the configured phone number. If the called party accepts the call, the communication establishes for the configured duration. During the call, the connection cannot be interrupted by making a call to the device, nor by pressing the button again. The call is ended automatically when the configured communication time expires, or the called party can hang up the call at anytime on his/her phone. The call is ended automatically if the called party does not answer or is not available. A new call is initiated only if the button is pressed again.
Listen-in mode
The intercom unit can be called from the telephone numbers assigned to the telephone’s push buttons. If the call is initiated from any other telephone number, the intercom rejects it. In this case the unit accepts the call without ringing and the voice connection establishes. The call can be ended on the caller’s phone or by pressing the call button on the unit.
If the call is initiated from a phone number which is configured in the unit as gate opener number, the device will consider the call as a gate opening call. In this case voice connection is not established, but the relay output is activated.
Controlling the relay output
The RELAY (normally open, NO) relay output can be controlled as follows, depending on the usage:

• controlling by free call:
  on incoming call, after identifying the caller ID, the unit rejects the call and activates the output e.g. garage door or barrier opening, for which max 100 user phone numbers can be configured

• controlling by the pushbutton:
  the relay activates when the call button is pushed e.g. possibility to connect an existing door bell

• controlling by the phone’s keys:
  while in call by pressing 2# of the phone’s numbered keys the relay activates for the configured time period

ATTENTION:
The RELAY and OUT outputs is activated in parallel and independently from each other by both menu items, the Control of outputs and the Gate control. Please take this into consideration when planning the usage!
Controlling the voltage output
The OUT voltage output can be used for the direct control of an electric strike as follows:

• controlling by the pushbutton:
  the output activates by pressing the pushbutton

• controlling by the phone’s keys:
  while in call by pressing 1# of the phone’s numbered keys the output activates for the configured time period

The output voltage is almost equal with the supply voltage, which provides easy usability with 12VDC or 24VDC systems. The output is protected against short circuit and overcurrent, thereby the output turns off upon overcurrent and becomes operable again after the termination of the fault.
Forwarding incoming SMS messages
The unit forwards the SMS messages received on its SIM card (e.g. balance information in case of a prepaid card) to the configured phone number. After forwarding, the received message is deleted from the SIM card. If there is no phone number configured, the unit deletes the incoming messages without forwarding.

Setting with MS WINDOWS Application

The intercom unit parameters (phone numbers, controls) can be configured using the Intercom Configurator software found on the internal storage of the device. You can run the program directly from the unit’s drive after connecting to USB (Widows XP, 7, 8, 10 compatible). Connect the USB port of the GSM Intercom to the PC using the supplied cable and run the Intercom Configurator software!
Important note: in most cases the power of the USB connector is only sufficient to make the settings; therefore, it is necessary to connect an external power for the tests of calls!
Click ‘Read’ upon opening the software, make any changes necessary, then click ‘Write’. Wait 15 seconds then click ‘Read’ again to check your changes have been made successfully.

Buttons

The intercom unit calls the phone numbers entered here when the appropriate button is pressed. If both phone numbers are set to any button, the unit calls the primary phone number first, and if the call is successful, it ignores the secondary telephone number. In case of an unsuccessful call (e.g. if the called number is not available or the call is not accepted), calling the secondary phone number can be done by pushing the button again (within 60 seconds). If the Automatic option is enabled, then the unit calls the secondary phone number if the primary fails without having to push the button again.
Note: Only Upper button applies to this intercom
Control of outputs
The two outputs of the unit can be controlled by multiple configured events. You can choose the activation event according to the usage.

OUT
The voltage output, e.g. for direct control of an electric lock.
RELAY
The relay contact output, e.g. for garage door control.
Setting:

1. To enable control, it is necessary to tick the chosen output or outputs.
2. At the next step you need to select the starting event which will activate the output, this will normally be Phone.
3. Default control needs to be set, where
4. NO= OFF, NC= ON by default.
   In case of OUT NO= 0V, NC= power.
   In case of RELAY NO= break, NC= short-circuit

At control the output changes state for the given time period.
General settings

Ring time (10-120 sec)
The maximum time allowed for ringing from pushing the call button. This function is useful to avoid switching to voicemail.
Call time (10-600 sec)
The maximum time allowed for a call initiated from the intercom.
OUT active time (1-120 sec, monostable)
The voltage output activation time.
RELAY active time (1-120 sec, monostable)
The relay contact output activation time.
SMS forward
Forwards the SMS messages received on the unit’s SIM card to the specified phone number, e.g. balance information received from the GSM service provider. It is recommended to configure this in case of using a pre-pay type SIM card.
Microphone sensitivity (5-14), default value: 13 the change in settings become valid in next call progress
Volume (10-50), default value: 25 the change in settings become valid in next call progress
Attention: By increasing the default values of the microphone and speaker settings, echo effect may occur and increase!
If the value of volume is increased it is necessarey to decrease the value of the microphone sensitivity to stop echoing. The same way, if the value of microphone sensitivity is increased the decrase of value can be the solution to suppress echoing.
Backlight brightness
light (0-10), default value: 5
Gate control

When calling the intercom from the phone numbers specified here, control of the output or outputs assigned to the given phone number is performed. The incoming call is not accepted from the configured telephone number, so this function operates with a free call. Maximum 100 user phone numbers can be added.
