GSM-HOUSE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
WAFER GSM-HOUSE is an anti-vandal GSM intercom with self contained GSM door entry
audio intercom system and also built-in the WAFER “GSM-KEY” function,that is used to open
an electric gate by means of a GSM phone.
For the GSM intercom function.By pressing the Call buton on the GSM-HOUSE,it makes a
voice connection in a few seconds,allowing two way audio communication between the visitor
and owner.Up to two numbers can be called in sequence.Door release is from the phone keypad
during an intercom call. This allows the owner to answer intercom calls at anytime,from anywhere,
even when not at home.The unit does not need any special installation or complicated wiring, it
fixes to a wall or post and then only needs power supply and an active SIM card.
For the “GSM-KEY” function,It has the door open relay whose contact has to be connected in
parallel with the button which opens the gate. It has a White List of numbers who are enabled to
open the phone, up to 200. When the GSM-HOUSE receives a call, it will check to see if the
calling number is in the list. If it is in the list it will reject the call (so there will be no charge -at
least with today's charging procedures) and click the relay momentarily.
Also GSM-HOUSE has two alarm input port for the security detection including the intruder
detection alarm and gate problem alarm.GSM-HOUSE also has the recharageable backup battery
inside for power off alarm and keep working even for sereral days.

INSTALLATION

Please read this entire manual before installation !Note!

z Take EXTREME care with the DC voltage polarity Power line installation
z In case of fault power connection will cause the default permanently.
z If device is connect into electricity, you couldn’t take off its cover.
z To maximise reception, install the GSM antenna in a prominent elevated position if
possible, and vertically mounted.
z The GSM unit requires mounting carefully with the lock for proper operation.
z Always ensure that the power is switched OFF before inserting or removing a SIM
card from its holder or damage will be caused to the module.

To install the GSM-HOUSE, you need to connect the 2 wires of the relay contact in parallel
with the gate opening button. The relay contacts can stand 30V 2A maximum, this is enough for
its operation but don't try to switch higher voltages or currents. You should install the
GSM-HOUSE in a place where there is GSM signal coming from the operator you want to use.
Check it with a phone before proceeding with the installation. If you need to install the device in a
place with little signal, you may consider using the magnetic mount better gain GSM antenna that
we may supply as an option to be purchased separately with 200cm cable.
You should then insert the SIM Card of the operator you want to use with the right direction
according to the following pictures.
!Note! : You must remove the PIN request from the SIM before inserting it in the
unit, otherwise the device will not work. In order to do so, insert the SIM in a mobile phone and

verify the SIM card to call other phone and send and receive the SMS).
Lock the SIM card in the right direction:

1.Slide back the SIM door and

lift it up
2.Slide the SIM Card into the
SIM door making sure that
the clipped corner of the SIM
card lines up with the clipped
corner of the SIM holder
3.Close the SIM door
4.Slide the SIM door to lock the
SIM card in place

GSM-HOUSE also comes with additional 2 Input.The inputs can be used to generate alarms
when triggered. For examples,you can can connect the door or gate saftey beam output to the
GSM-HOUSE Alarm1 and Alarm2 input.
Before the following test and programming,connect the DC12V properly to the DC12VIN
and GND.
After the device successfully connected to the GSM net,the LED on the Call button would
flash around 5 seconds per time.then we can start the following test:

WAFER GSM-HOUSE PROGRAMMING

You can program the GSM-HOUSE with SMS commands using your phone. It is safe to do
so because in addition to the fact that other people may not know the number of the SIM inserted
in it, we also use a Password that makes it impossible for anybody who doesn't know it to access
the system by chance.
Remember that commands must be CAPITAL LETTERS. It is PWD not pwd, CAP not Cap
etc. Don't add spaces or any other character.
Some complicated Instructions,that cann’t be programmed by the phone SMS. That would
need to use the PC software to program and inquire the status of the terminal.

The following compand is used in the GSM-HOUSE :

#PWD: Password
#CAP: Change password
#WHL: White List (add or remove numbers)
#GOT: Gate pulse time
#ALARM: Alarm information setting
#MODE: Relay mode
#CSQ: Check Signal Quality
#SCA: Set service center address
#STATUS: Check status
Once you issue a command with an SMS, you will receive a confirmation SMS with OK
if everything is correct or Err if there is an Error.

SMS COMMAND LIST:

#PWD Password.
This command must always come first 6 digits as a password.
The standard default one, when the device comes from the factory, is 123456.
We suggest that you change it, using the #CAP command.
In all the following examples we will use 123456 as an example of password.

#CAP Change Password.

Use this command to change the password with a new one that you will chose for your device
( don't forget it or you will have to send the unit back to us to reset it, and this has a cost )
The #CAP command must be issued 2 times to be sure you don't digit a wrong one.
OF course it must be preceded by the old password.
For example, to change the password 123456 into the new password 333444 you need to send the
following SMS:

#PWD123456#CAP333444#CAP333444
Acknowledge SMS: PWD SETUP OK
If you wrote correctly, or an Error message if you made a mistake.
If the old password is error,then conformation would be : Error Old Password
If you input two different new password,then reply would be : Error New Password,Please Check the
input again

#WHL White List.

This is the command that you will use most. it is used to add or remove numbers that are enabled
to open the gate into the White List. You can add up to 200 numbers in the list. Every position
must be indicated in the command and we advise you to keep a list written somewhere to know
which numbers are in and in which position.
• To add a number, the syntax of the command is the following:
#PWD123456#WHL01=61143815
Acknowledge would be : WHL01 SET TO 61143815 OK
Where 01 is the position in the list and 61143815 is the number enabled.

http://www.waferstar.com
 WAFER GSM-HOUSE INTERCOM UNIT

Please note that it is possible to program up to a maximum of 10 digits for a number. If it has
more digits you should use the rightmost ones. For example, if your number is 33446665555 you
should program 3446665555. If your number appears as +85261143815 you should not program
the country code (+852). If your number has only 9 digits or less, it is not a problem. The
important thing is that you don't exceed 10 digits.

signal level your GSM-HOUSE is receiving. It ranges from 0 to 32 (if it is 0 we doubt it will
ever answer...). You should have a signal above 12 to be sure of being able to open the
gate in any condition. Better if above 16. You should add an external antenna if this is not the case,
or eventually even change operator with another that serves your area better.

BCPW-LOW-ALARM: When the Remaining battery power is lower than 60%,will send the alarm SMS
You will get the reply SMS:
POWER-CHANGE-ALARM:ON,BCPW-LOW-ALARM:ON:60 OKAY
If you want to know the setup of the battery alarm,then send the inquiry SMS:
#PWD123456#POWER-CHANGE-ALARM?
You will receive the SMS reply from the unit :
POWER-CHANGE-ALARM:OFF,BCPW-LOW-ALARM:OFF:60
