MANUAL INTRODUCTION
The information in this manual is intended as an installation and commissioning guide for
the GSM door intercom system. This manual should be read carefully before the
installation commences. Any damage caused to the equipment due to faulty installations
where the information in this manual has not been followed is not the responsibility of
Videx Security Ltd.
VIDEX run free training courses for engineers who have not installed this system before. Technical
help is also available on 0191 224 3174 during office hours or via e-mail tech@videx-security.com.
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 ten call buttons can be connected to the door panel, each able to call two
telephone numbers (If the first is busy or not answered, the call can be diverted to the
second). Features of the system include a dry contact relay output, an open collector
auxiliary output, push to exit input and switched 0V auxiliary input. Programming of the
telephone numbers and additional features can be carried out via text messaging or dial in.
An additional access control feature is also available on the system allowing a number of
callers to open the gate/door simply by dialling the telephone number of the intercom panel
(The intercom panel will not answer these calls but will activate the relay output).
A SIM card is required for this product but not supplied. 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 but if using a ‘Pay as
you go’ we would recommend setting up an automatic top up to avoid running short on
credit and loosing 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 providers or
visit their web sites.
When registering a new SIM you may be asked for the IMEI number. This is the unique
serial number of the GSM intercom and can be found on the rear of the module as shown
in the picture below:-
IMEI Number
PAGE 5 of 36 GSM DOOR INTERCOM TECHNICAL MANUAL VER1.2.1
PRECAUTIONARY ADVICE
o When mounting the GSM antenna, choose a location which is away from human
interaction and away from the intercom panel. Route the GSM antenna cable from
the intercom panel so that it is separate from the power supply cables and
microphone wire.
o Always ensure the power is off to the intercom panel before inserting or removing
the SIM card.
o New SIM cards will need registering before they can be used. Full details of how
this is done can normally be found in the SIM card pack. It will normally require that
the SIM card is inserted into a mobile phone, a number dialled and instructions
followed. While the SIM is in the mobile phone it would be a good time to disable
any PIN codes, call diverts, ring back and disable features such as voicemail and
text alerts. Details of how to do this can be found on the SIM card provider’s web
site or by calling their customer services. Please use one of the following SIM card
providers (Vodafone, TMobile, O2 or Orange). We do not recommend using 3 at
this present time.
o To be able to receive text messages from the intercom panel, the SIM card will
require an SMS service centre number. This is normally preinstalled on new SIM
cards but if you are having trouble receiving SMS messages you will need to
confirm this by inserting the SIM card into a telephone and using the telephones
menu options to check it. If a number is not programmed then it should be
programmed while in the telephone (The number can be obtained from the service
provider).
o Voicemail and text alerts must be switched off on the SIM card when using the dial
in to release the door/gate feature. For Vodafone and O2 this can be done while the
SIM card is in the intercom panel. For Orange and T-Mobile the SIM card must be
remove and put into a mobile phone.
o When storing the intercom panel’s telephone number in your own mobile phone
avoid using an obvious name such as ‘Front Door, or ‘My Gate’ as this would make
it easy to decipher if your phone was lost or stolen.
o The PIN request feature must be disabled on the SIM card before using it in the
Intercom panel. It is likely on a new SIM card that it will not be enabled but if it is, it
will prevent the system from working at all.
o This product may not be suitable for installation in hospitals, health care facilities or
in the presence of flammable gases or liquids. Seek advice and authorisation before
installing this product in these locations.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT SIM CARD
When using a pay monthly SIM card you must ask the service provider to put a spend limit
on the account (Vodafone call this service ‘spend checker’). This is to safeguard against
possible problems which could result in a large phone bill at the end of the month. All
providers offer this service. You will need to either ring them or e-mail them to set this up.
Automatic top ups should also have a monthly limit.

• If the GSM module has 1 button, the additional button module buttons should be
addressed beginning with 2 (i.e. The first button of the button module should be
connected between C1 & b, the next between C1 & c etc)
• If the GSM module has 2 buttons, the additional button module buttons should be
addressed beginning with 3 (i.e. The first button of the button module should be
connected between C1 & c, the next between C1 & d etc)
• If the GSM module has 4 buttons, the additional button module buttons should be
addressed beginning with 5 (i.e. The first button of the button module should be
connected between C1 & e, the next between C2 & a etc)
6 BUTTON EXAMPLE
When the jumper is in the top
position, one side of that button
is common to C1. When a
jumper is in the bottom position,
that button is completely isolated
from the others.
In this example, button 1-4 of the
module have a common side to
C1 and button 5 is fully isolated.

installation in the event of damage).
- Keep all packaging away from children.
- Do not obstruct the ventilation openings or slots on any of the devices.
- All connections to mains voltages must be made to the current national standards (IEE
Wiring regulations)
- Install an appropriate fused spur or isolation switch to isolate the mains.
- Isolate the mains before carrying out any maintenance work on the system.
- Avoid water ingress into the rear of the module, always seal the module frame after
installation using a suitable silicon based sealant.
- All intercom and access control cables must be routed separately from the mains.
Lock release back EMF protection : A capacitor must be fitted across the terminals on
an AC lock release and a diode must be fitted across the terminals on a DC lock release
as shown in the diagrams below to suppress back EMF voltages.

PANEL CARE
The door panels facia is either mirror finish stainless steel or matt finish aluminium. It is
important that the facia is cleaned on regular occasions to prevent dirt build up and
tarnishing of the metal. A general household metal polish can be used but care should be
taken to follow the grain of the metal when polishing and also avoid any polish build up
around the call buttons which may prevent the buttons from operating correctly.
PAGE 17 of 36 GSM DOOR INTERCOM TECHNICAL MANUAL VER1.2.1
TESTING, POWER UP AND RESET
After connecting the power supply, antenna, lock output and auxiliary devices as shown in
this manual and before powering up a SIM card must be installed. The SIM holder can be
found on the back of the module under the label ‘SIM’. A SIM card from any supplier can
be used. Simply push the SIM holder in the direction of ‘OPEN’ and then lift. Insert the SIM
card (It will only fit one way) and then push back down and into the ‘LOCK’ position.
IMPORTANT: Replace the label over the SIM hole.
- Check all the connections have been made correctly and then power up the system.
- The GSM intercom requires approximately 30 seconds too initialise properly. We
recommend not sending SMS messages or pressing buttons during this time.
- From power up; two short beeps will be heard and then following a short delay of
approximately 15 seconds, the name plate light will illuminate and a further short beep
will be heard. After approximately another 15 seconds another short beep will be
heard. The module is now fully initialised (Note: If you here a different combination of
beeps in place of the last short single beep then you can find the meaning of these
beeps towards the back of this manual. Once initialised, you can begin programming.
Power up initialisation sequence

PAGE 18 of 36 GSM DOOR INTERCOM TECHNICAL MANUAL VER1.2.1
PROGRAMMING
Programming can be carried out either by text message or by dialling into the intercom
panel (Certain programming features can only be setup by text message).
IMPORTANT NOTE: When you are required to use “ in a text message it is very important to use the
correct symbol and not for example ‘ (Or two ‘ single apostrophes side by side which you will see
look the same but will be interoperated differently by the SMS intercom panel).
PROGRAMMING BY TEXT MESSAGE
Programming by text message is the simplest way to customise the settings of the
intercom panel and add or delete telephone numbers. Simply send texts in the format
below to the telephone number of the SIM within the intercom panel:-
<4 DIGIT CODE><3 DIGIT FUNCTION CODE><OPTIONAL DATA><OPTIONAL ?>
4 DIGIT CODE: The code prevents unauthorised access to the programmable
features of the system. The code must be four digits long but
can be any combination using digits 0 – 9. The default code is
1111 and will be used for all examples in this manual.
3 DIGIT FUNCTION CODE: The 3 digit function code identifies the programmable feature
to be changed. The code must be in capital letters. The table
below lists the available codes.

when it is received by the intercom panel depending on how congested the network is. If
you are at the door panel when sending the message you will here a single beep from the
intercom panel to indicate it has receive the message.
STORING A CALL BUTTON TELEPHONE NUMBER
Telephone numbers can be stored for the ten available call buttons. Each call button can
call up to two telephone numbers (If the first is busy or not answered in a certain time it
can call the second number if the divert facility is setup). The messages to store/check
numbers are as follows (See important note on page 18):-
1111STNnnn”yyyyyyyyyyy” Store the telephone number yyyyyyyyyyy in position nnn
1111STNnnn”yyyyyyyyyyy”? Store the telephone number yyyyyyyyyyy in position nnn
and send a confirmation text message to confirm
storage of new number.
1111STNnnn? Query the telephone number stored in location nnn. A
text message will be sent to the sender with the stored
number for that location.
1111STNnnn”” Delete the telephone number stored in location nnn.
1111STNnnn””? Delete the telephone number stored in location nnn. A
text message will be sent to the sender with the delete

STORING A TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR DIAL IN DOOR RELEASE
Dial in door release allows users of telephones with their number stored to release the
door/gate simply by dialling the telephone number of the SIM in the intercom panel. The
intercom panel will check the callers ID when it receives a call and if it matches the list of
stored numbers, it will clear the call down (Avoiding the caller being charged for the call)
and will activate the relay for the programmed time. The number of numbers thatcan be
stored depends on the SIM card’s available memory. SIM cards are normally able to store
100 – 250 numbers. The messages to check, store or delete numbers are as follows (See
important note on page 18):-
1111STNnnn”yyyyyyyyyyy” Store the telephone number yyyyyyyyyyy in position nnn
where nnn = 100 - 250
1111STNnnn”yyyyyyyyyyy”? Store the telephone number yyyyyyyyyyy in position nnn
where nnn =100 - 250and send a confirmation text
message to confirm storage of new number.
1111STNnnn? Query the telephone number stored in location nnn
where nnn = 100 - 250. A text message will be sent to
the sender with the stored number for that location.

Memory location nnn can be in the range of 100 – 250. (Important note: Some SIM cards
may use some of the memory locations for special features such as checking balance,
retrieving voice mails etc. If you are not planning to use all memory location we would
suggest storing from location 111 onwards. Use the chart on page 26-27 to record the
telephone numbers stored.
Note: It is important to switch off voicemail and automatic SMS features on the SIM
card when using this feature. See the ‘Forced Dial’ section for more details. Also
note that it will not be possible to use the dial in and program facility from a number
stored to release the door/gate when dialling in.
SET CALL TIME
The call time is the maximum time in seconds that a call can last before the intercom panel
automatically clears the call down. The time can be from 20 seconds up to 240 seconds (4
minutes) and begins from when the call button is pressed. The default time is 40 seconds.
The following messages are used to set/check the maximum call time.

sending text messages to the intercom panel. The following message changes the code:-
1111CDEnnnn nnnn = new 4 digit code
SET DAYS TO WAIT BEFORE MAKING A CALL
In the event the intercom panel is not used for long periods of time it could be possible that
the network disconnects it. To prevent this from happening it is possible to program a time
period (From 01 – 99 days) to wait before the intercom panel makes a short call to refresh
the connection. This time period is reset after each call made on the system and will only
happen if the full time period elapses without any incoming or outgoing calls.

FORCED DIAL
A useful feature of the Intercom panel is its ability to call a number sent to it in a text
message. This feature can be used when setting up the SIM card. For example, disabling
the voicemail facility or disabling automatic SMS messages or missed calls. Any number
up to 15 digits can be called and the call will last for a maximum of 40 seconds. The
example below would switch off voicemail on a Vodafone SIM card. Substitute the
Vodafone number for other service providers (See important note on page 18).
1111DLE”1210“ Dial 1210 for the intercom panel
Other useful numbers which can be used with this feature are as follows. Please also
check the service provider’s web sits for other useful codes.
Vodafone O2
Disable voicemail 1210 1760
Disable text alerts #148# 1760
NOTE: Disabling voicemail and text alerts is very important as there is no way to retrieve
either of these services from an intercom panel. Disabling these features will also prevent
the intercom panel switching to voicemail or sending a text when dialling in from another
phone.
STORE SMS AUXILIARY MESSAGE
When C2 & AI are shorted on the intercom panel, a text message will be sent to the
number stored in memory location 020. The text message can be customised using the
following message(See important note on page 18) :-
1111SMS”HouseAlarm” Change message to HouseAlarm
Note: The message can be a maximum of 20 characters long and can not include spaces or “.
The memory location used to store the telephone where the text will be send is also the same
memory location used for the divert telephone number for button 10 (i.e. 020).
PAGE 24 of 36 GSM DOOR INTERCOM TECHNICAL MANUAL VER1.2.1
PROGRAM BY ‘AT’ COMMANDS
This is an advanced feature of the system which can allow an AT format command to be
sent to the OEM GSM module.
1111PRG(command) Send an AT command to the OEM module
STORE CREDIT BALANCE CHECK STRING
Several network providers offer the facility to check available balance on their pay as you
go tariffs. For example, on Vodafone the string is *#1345# and on O2 the string is *#10#.
Other networks may also have this feature. Because the intercom will not know the details
of the network provider’s SIM card which you have inserted it will be necessary to store the
correct string in order to use the credit balance check features.
1111SDL”*#1345#” Store the balance check string for a Vodafone pay as you go.
1111SDL”*#10#” Store the balance check string for an O2 pay as you go.
PAGE 25 of 36 GSM DOOR INTERCOM TECHNICAL MANUAL VER1.2.1
PROGRAMMING BY DIAL IN
Note: programming dial in cannot be used from telephones which are already
programmed to open the door when they dial the intercom panel.
When dialling into the GSM intercom from a telephone number which is already
stored as one of the call button telephone numbers it will be necessary be press
¶¶ to switch from call mode to programming mode.
To gain access to the programming menu via dial in, follows these steps:-
1. Call the telephone number of the intercom panel.
2. Wait for the intercom panel to answer and signal by two beeps (If the number you
are dialling from is already programmed as a call button number then you will need
to press ¶¶ before proceeding to the next step).
3. Enter the four digit code listening for a confirmation beep after each digit.
4. If the code is correct, you will here two beeps to indicate programming mode. If the
code is incorrect the call will end and the line will go dead.
Once in programming mode, the following options are available. Remember to listen for a
beep after each digit entered. This indicates that it has been received and understood by
the intercom panel. The intercom panel will stay in programming mode until the call ends
or a timeout occurs. The timeout will occur after 30 seconds if no buttons are pressed. This
is reset to 30 seconds each time a button is pressed.
Note: At any point press the # key to clear and begin a programming sequence again. # is
also used to confirm and store a new value. After pressing #, two beeps will be heard from
the telephone to indicate successful completion of a command, four beeps will indicate an
error in the command.
The following table outlines the available programming codes. These are explained in detail on the following pages.

SYSTEM OPERATION
TO MAKE A CALL FROM THE INTERCOM PANEL
Press the required call button. Two beeps will be heard to indicate the call has been placed. If a
mistake is made, press any other button to clear the call (A long beep followed by a short beep will
be heard to confirm the call has been cleared. (Note: If the same button is pressed after five
seconds of placing the call this will also clear the call down. Pressing the same button before five
seconds will do nothing).
DOOR/GATE RELEASE
This is signalled by 1 second interval beeps from the intercom panel. Pressing 3 releases the
door/gate for the programmed time. Pressing 1 followed by 0 will latch the door/gate in the open
position (Note: To unlatch press 3, the door/gate will unlatch after the programmed time.
RELEASING THE GATE/DOOR BY DIALLING THE INTERCOM PANEL NUMBER
This feature is only possible if the caller’s number has been stored correctly for this feature. Simply
dial the number of the intercom panel. The intercom panel will drop the call and then open the
gate/door for the programmed time.

CHECKING THE BALANCE
*Note: The balance can only be checked if the correct balance check string has previously been
stored using the SDL code explained earlier in the manual.
The intercom also has the facility to monitor the available credit and then text you to inform you
when it has fell below £5.00, €5.00 or $5.00. It will then remind you with another text after every 5
calls until the credit is either increased or it runs out. To use this feature, the following settings
must first be made:-
o You must be using a Pay AS You GO SIM card from a provider that offers this service (Vodafone, O2)
o The correct balance check string must be stored using the SDL code.
o A mobile phone number in which to receive the balance low text must be stored in location 020 using the
STN code.
UNDERSTANDING THE SIGNAL STRENGTH
When a request for signal strength message is sent to the intercom panel it will reply with a two
digit signal strength code. The code will be between 0 – 31 or 99. Ideally the signal strength should
be as close to 31 as possible. The lower the number, the weaker the signal. Signal strengths lower
than 10 may cause operational problems such as loss of speech quality (and possibly missing
DTMF tones) and network loss. A signal strength of 99 indicates it could not be detected.
DIALLING INTO THE INTERCOM FROM ANOTHER TELEPHONE
There are three possible outcomes to dialling into the GSM intercom depending on the
telephone number you are dialling in from and the features setup during programming. The
three possible outcomes are shown in the table below and are shown in order of priority
(For example, if the number is programmed to automatically activate the relay, this will
take priority over the following two options and if the telephone number is stored as a
telephone number called from one of the push buttons, this will take priority over the last
option.
FUNCTION REQUIREMENT PRIORITY

this manual (Powering up with C1 & PTE shorted).

ERROR message returned in SMS when
programming or no SMS returned at all
even though a ? was included at the end of
the message sent.
Check over the message sent again and compare it with
the examples in the manual.
Common errors include:-
1. Using two apostrophe marks side by side instead of “.
Note that these look the same in the message. An easy
way to see if this is the problem is to move the cursor
along in the message and if the cursor can get between
the two “ then it is not the connect character used.
2. Lower case letters instead of upper case. For example
using stn when STN should be used.
