2. Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) wires from your DC power supply to the corresponding terminals.
3. Ensure connections are secure to prevent intermittent power issues.

4. Relay Output Connection

The RTU5024 provides a dry contact relay output (NC/NO) for controlling external devices such as gate motors or door locks. Connect your device to these terminals.

1. Identify the relay output terminals (NC, NO, COM).
2. Connect your gate opener or other controlled device to the appropriate relay contacts (e.g., COM and NO for normally open operation).
3. Consult your gate opener's manual for specific wiring requirements.

5. Initial Configuration (SMS Commands)

The RTU5024 is configured primarily through SMS commands sent from an authorized phone number. Refer to the detailed SMS command list in the full technical manual for advanced settings. Basic setup involves adding authorized numbers.

To add an authorized user: Send an SMS command from the administrator's phone to the RTU5024's SIM card number. The format typically involves a password followed by the command and the phone number to be added.

Example (Note: Actual command format may vary, refer to the included physical manual for precise syntax):

#PASSWORD#ADD#PHONE_NUMBER#

Replace PASSWORD with the device's default or set password, and PHONE_NUMBER with the number to authorize.

Operating Instructions

Once the RTU5024 is set up and authorized numbers are configured, operating the connected device is straightforward.

Remote Control via Free Call

To activate the relay (e.g., open a gate), simply dial the phone number of the SIM card inserted in the RTU5024 from any authorized phone number. The device will recognize the authorized caller ID, reject the call (so no call charges are incurred), and then trigger the relay.

• Ensure your phone number is authorized in the RTU5024's memory.
• Dial the number of the SIM card in the RTU5024.
• The device will ring once and then disconnect. The relay will activate.
• The relay's activation time (how long it stays open or closed) is programmable via SMS commands.
