HUBBELL COMPANY GAI-TRONICS HUBBCOM GSC3100 (01) PDF Document

The HUBBELL COMPANY GAI-TRONICS HUBBCOM GSC3100 Smart Controller includes a handset. The Model GSC4100 Smart Controller is designed for hands-free operation and is not equipped with a handset.

Read, follow, and retain instructions: Read and follow all safety and operating instructions before installing or operating the unit. Retain instructions for future reference.

Heed warnings: Adhere to all warnings on the unit and in the operating instructions.

Attachments: Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.

Servicing: Do not attempt to service this unit. Opening or removing covers may expose dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Installation requirements: Install equipment without modification and according to all applicable local, national, and international electrical codes. In North America, consult the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), Canadian Standards Association (CSA 22.1), and local codes for specific requirements. Install Class 2 circuit wiring in accordance with the NEC.

Personnel: Only trained, qualified, and competent personnel must install these devices. Installation must comply with state and national regulations, as well as safety practices for this type of equipment.

Usage environment: These smart controllers are designed for indoor use only.

Use only 24 V dc power supplies that conform to UL/CSA/CE Class II, Double Insulated supplies with over voltage and short circuit protection. Use only a dc source with a 50-watt maximum output or fuse the supply with a 2-amp fuse. EMI standards must conform to Class B.

The smart controllers are vandal resistant. Security screws attach the front panel of each smart controller to its enclosure. Use a GAI-Tronics Model 233-001 security screwdriver or Torx T-25 security head tip to install the unit.

Step 1. Remove the backbox from the smart controller by removing the six #10-32 security screws and washers holding them together.

Step 2. Remove a tapered plug from one of the rear cable entry holes in the backbox.

Step 3. Install a cable strain relief cable fitting to the box.

Step 4. Feed the Ethernet cable and all additional cables through the cable fitting.

Step 5. Mount the backbox to the structure using appropriate hardware.

Step 6. Complete all necessary cable terminations.

Step 7. Secure the smart controller to the backbox mounting flanges using the six security screws with washers removed in Step 1.

Step 8. Tighten the screws to 10-12 in-lb.

Note: These devices require access to an NTP (network time protocol) server.

Step 1. Use a compatible enclosure (Model 236 Series or Model 238-001) to install the surface-mount enclosure.

Step 2. Remove and discard the backbox installed on the smart controller by removing the six security screws and washers. Retain the six security screws and washers.

Step 3. Complete all necessary cable terminations.

Step 4. Secure the smart controller to the surface-mount enclosure using the six security screws and washers removed in Step 2.

Step 5. Tighten the screws to 10-12 in-lb.

The smart controllers have quick release terminal blocks that accept 18-24 AWG wires. Release wires from the terminal block by pressing the quick release button above the terminal.

Note on Ferrite Cores: Two clamp on ferrite cores are supplied. Double wrap all wires terminating to terminal blocks TB1 and/or TB2 around a ferrite core. Install the clamp on ferrite cores as close as possible to the terminal blocks.

Terminal block TB1 is for optional RTU I/O (Remote Terminal Unit Input/Output) functionality. Follow these steps:

Step 1. Install appropriately sized ferrules onto the wire ends.

Step 2. Install a clamp on ferrite core around all wires (double wrap) terminating to TB1 as close as possible to the terminal block.

Step 3. Insert each wire into the correct quick release terminal according to the pinout table.

Terminal block TB2 is used for optional RS-485 or Weigand D0/D1 and external speaker connections. Smart controllers with external speakers require external 24 V dc power.

Step 1. Install appropriately sized ferrules onto the wire ends.

Step 2. Install a clamp on ferrite core around all wires (double wrap) terminating to TB2 as close as possible to the terminal block.

Step 3. Insert each wire into the correct quick release terminal based on the following pin configuration:

The unit features dual Ethernet ports. Use the RJ45 jack furthest from the USB port to connect to the network. The RJ45 jack closest to the USB port can be used to connect a PC.

Step 1. Plug the Ethernet cable from the network into the RJ45 jack furthest from the USB port.

Step 2. Install a clamp on ferrite core as close as possible to the RJ45 plug.

Step 3. (Optional) Plug an Ethernet cable from a PC into the remaining RJ45 jack.

Note: Connecting via WiFi disables the secondary Ethernet port.

External 24 V dc power is used in place of POE (optional) or is required for smart controllers with external speaker hook-ups.

Step 1. Install appropriately sized ferrules onto the wire ends.

Step 2. Insert each wire into the correct quick release terminal according to this table:

Wi-Fi operating frequency range: 2.412-2.462 GHz

Temperature Range: 32-122 degrees Fahrenheit (0-50 degrees Celsius)

Antenna Connection: Use the provided SMA (Sub-Miniature connector A) coaxial connector.

Compliance: CE, EMC emissions Class B (EN55032/FCC Part15B/ICES-003), Immunity (EN55035), Assessment risk of exposure (EN62311), Product Safety Assessment (UL/IEC62368-1).

If the equipment causes harmful interference, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult a dealer or an experienced radio/tv technician for help.
