Supplied with the automation kit the 24V 9aH battery system will allow for continued use of the gate system wether in day or night. The system can operate for up to one week of regular residential use without any charge from the solar panel (winter months/wet season) and will automatically recharge from sun light. When the system batteries are fully charged it will continue to float charge to keep the batteries topped up ready for use. In a case of extended use requirments or higher duty there are upgrade options to 17aH and 33aH battery systems.

APC Connect 4 V | 4G/VoLTE Compatible

The APC Connect 4 V will allow all programmed users to ring the device from anywhere, at any time, with the ability to toggle the connected device to operate. If desired, the unit can also be set to public mode so that any telephone number to call can toggle the operation.

The administrator/installer can easily adjust the method of operation and toggle from the system features by sending simple SMS commands from their mobile phone.

 

How does it work:

1. An active SIM card must be installed on the device. Using the sim card in this device will not incur more than the cost of keeping it active if you turn off alerts, but the sim card needs to be active and able to receive incoming calls).
2. The device is then wired to the relevant system that needs to be operated, and up to 200 users can be programmed through quick SMS commands.
3. When any of these programmed numbers ring the device, it will ring once, reject the call, and proceed to open/close the system. The device can be dialled from anywhere at any time by any programmed user.

 

Prerequisites:

An active SIM card with good to excellent mobile coverage in the area where Connect 4 V will be installed is required. The SIM card cannot be a data SIM and must have an active telephone number.

The SIM card's voicemail feature must be disabled. The service provider (Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, Aldi, etc.) can do this for you.

A voltage Supply to power the device. It has a high compatibility of 9-24V DC (Any APC Gate Automation System can power this GSM unit)

Note: If your system cannot supply the required voltage, three solutions are available at an extra cost.

a) A power adapter 24VDC (PP-24) or 12VDC (PP-12) can be supplied.

• 12V Adapter, Click here for more information

b) A power convertor (APC-PC12) to transform a voltage source in AC/DC 16-28V to a 12V DC output.

Features:

• 4G Access Control Device, which is VoLTE-capable
• OPEN/CLOSE or turn ON/OFF access control systems, automatic gate systems, machines, and more.
• Ring the system from anywhere in the world.
• PRIVATE MODE: Caller ID used for verification - unknown numbers are ignored.
• PUBLIC MODE: Any call or SMS can operate the system
• Up to 200 authorized phone numbers can be configured simultaneously.
• SMS confirmation to an authorized phone number or master user when the system is triggered to OPEN/CLOSE or turn ON/OFF.
• Easy to configure the device by SMS.

Quick Reference Diagrams

What is 4G/VoLTE?

Voice over LTE (VoLTE) is an LTE high-speed wireless communication standard for voice calls and SMS using mobile phones and data terminals.

Voice over LTE (VoLTE) lets you make clearer phone calls over 4G (LTE) networks. Mobile network operators are beginning to shut down their 3G networks, so VoLTE will be needed to keep your mobile network access control device operating.

What is Required for Devices To Be 4G/VoLTE Compatible?

To use VoLTE, you will need a 4G device that is VoLTE-capable and compatible with the required technology and bands.

The APC Connect4 V 4G access control device is VoLTE-capable and can operate in the following bands/frequencies:

Band: B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B28/B40
Frequency: 850/900/1800/1900MHZ (4G/VoLTE Compatible)

Package Contents

• 1 x APC-Connect 4 V (4G/VoLTE Compatible)
• 1 x Antenna
• 1 x Installation Manual

Wireless Push Button with Isolation Key

The wireless push button switch is a simple and easy to use method to operate the gate. It is mounted in the general area of the gate and can be isolated by using the supplied keys without affecting the rest of the system, this is handy if you want to continue using the remotes or any other method of operation but wish to stop use of the push button itself.

The wireless push button communicates with the control board using the same rolling code 433mhz frequency as the remote thus eliminating the need for any extra add ons. If required the wireless push button can be upgraded to a wireless keypad for higher access security using pin number.

The push button can be used for over 50 metres in operating distance.

Long Distance Remote

The APC-RC450S Long range remote is capable of achieving operating distances of up to 400 metres, coupled with the add on booster antenna it can reach up to 800 metres. With these distances you can operate the gate system from around the property, at the home or from the workshop. Multiple long range remotes can be used on the one system.

APC Booster 433mhz Antenna

 

The APC booster antenna is suitable for gate automation systems, garage doors, receivers and any other devices using the 433mhz or 433.92mhz radio frequency band.

As a general rule of thumb on a properly function system you can expect to see results of doubling the range of the transmitter.

The antenna can also help in resolving issues where the transmitter range is decreased due to installation methods such a receiver being behind a metal fence, brick pillar , metal box and numerous other range decreasing factors

APC-RR-11 Retro Reflective Sensor

The retro-reflective Safety sensor set is used to prevent the closing cycle occurring during the case of the sensor path being interrupted by vehicles, trailers or any other obstacles.

If the gate begins to close and the sensor path is interrupted then the gate will stop and return to the open position.

The sensor ( which is the transmitter and receiver) is wired back to the control box of the gate system using the pre-connected cable. There is no requirement for wiring across the driveway using this type of sensor.
 

• Up to 11 Metres Infrared beam operating distance


• Only powers on when the command is given to close the gates


• Alignment & Misalignment led to assist in the installation process


• Resin filled for the ultimate weatherproofing
