HUBBELL COMPANY GAI-TRONICS HUBBCOM GSC4100 (01) PDF Document

The Model GSC3100 Smart Controller includes a handset. The HUBBELL COMPANY GAI-TRONICS HUBBCOM GSC4100 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 regarding your installation. Install Class 2 circuit wiring in accordance with the NEC.

Indoor use: HUBBELL COMPANY GAI-TRONICS HUBBCOM GSC4100 controllers are intended 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 meet 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 (sold separately) to install the telephone.

Use the supplied backbox when mounting the controller in a GAI-Tronics Model 234 Series Tower or for standard flush-mount installations. Follow these steps:

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

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

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

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

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

6. Complete all necessary cable terminations.

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

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

Use a GAI-Tronics Model 236 Series or Model 238-001 Enclosure to surface mount the smart controller:

1. Install the surface-mount enclosure according to the appropriate technical publication instructions.

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.

3. Complete all necessary cable terminations.

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

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

The smart controller has quick release terminal blocks that accept 18 to 24 AWG wires. Release wires from the terminal block by pressing the quick release button above the terminal. 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 Remote Terminal Unit Input/Output functionality. Install appropriately sized ferrules onto the wire ends before termination. The pin assignments are as follows:

Terminal block TB2 is for optional RS-485 or Weigand D0/D1 and external speaker connections. Note that smart controllers with external speakers require external 24 V dc power. Install appropriately sized ferrules onto the wire ends and double wrap the wires around a ferrite core close to TB2. The pin assignments for TB2 are:

The smart controller has dual Ethernet ports. Use the RJ45 jack furthest from the USB port to connect to the Ethernet network. Follow these steps:

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

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

3. Optionally, plug an Ethernet cable from a PC into the remaining RJ45 jack (closest to the USB port).

Note: Connecting a smart controller via WiFi disables the secondary Ethernet port.

Use external 24 V dc power in place of POE (optional) or for smart controllers with external speaker hook-ups (required). Follow these steps:

1. Install appropriately sized ferrules onto the wire ends.

2. Insert each wire into the correct quick release terminal on TB3.

Use the provided SMA (Sub-Miniature connector A) coaxial connector to connect an antenna. In flush-mount installations, use a customer-supplied antenna. FCC, IC, ETSI/CE, and TELEC Certified antennae (PCB, Dipole, Chip, and PIFA) are required. GAI-Tronics Kit No. 12840-001 meets these antenna requirements.

Wi-Fi operating frequency range: 2.412 to 2.462 GHz

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

If the equipment causes harmful interference to radio or television reception, 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 the dealer or an experienced radio/tv technician for help.
