• What type of wiring is recommended for CellGate Watchman installations?

  For most Watchman installations, CellGate recommends using 18/6 shielded wire for the main device and 18/4 shielded wire for optional Wiegand devices.

• How do I align the magnetic switch on my gate?

  The magnetic switch should be placed so that the two parts are pulled at least 2 inches away from each other when the gate is open, and come within 1.5 inches of each other when the gate is closed.

• Can I remove the SIM card from the included modem?

  No, you should not remove the SIM card from the in-hand modem provided with your cellular unit, as this may disrupt connectivity.

• Does the system support solar power?

  Yes, many CellGate units can be wired for solar power. Refer to the specific product installation guide for the appropriate solar wiring diagram.

• What IP address settings are used by default?

  CellGate IP devices are typically set to DHCP by default. If a static IP is required, you must contact CellGate support for configuration assistance.
