Gallagher units require well-regulated power with good output filtering.

When selecting the capacity of a power supply it is important to allow for the “worst case scenario”. The correct supply will be able to cope with all devices operating simultaneously, charge batteries and allow for possible system design variants. The worst case for supply interruption would be during an emergency when most relays are operational, electric door strikes are operating, lift controllers are used etc. the main AC has been interrupted, back-up batteries have been used, and then main AC supply is restored.

The selected power supply must be specified to maintain a regulated voltage of 13.6VDC (±15%). Calculate that current based on the parameters of the system and allow some for unforeseen conditions.

Gallagher units require +13.6VDC (±15%) = 11.56VDC to 15.64VDC.

When daisy-chaining units from the Controller, be careful to check, and stay within, acceptable voltage levels measured at each unit. Voltage start from the Controller at 13.6VDC and as it travels down cable an amount of voltage is lost through each board. There is a slight voltage drop as it passes through each fuse.

Voltage at each unit should be +13.6VDC (±15%).

Voltage at each unit should be measured “under-load”. Each unit has a different current requirement so measure the voltage at each unit when the unit is operational i.e. a relay board with 20 operational outputs will require extra current and may drop the voltage on the supply cable.

If the measured voltage at the unit is low, increase the cable size, which will decrease the effective cable resistance, increase the current carrying capacity and effectively maintain a higher voltage at the controller. One way to optimize the voltage to each unit is to run separate power feeds from the same power supply (assuming the power supply has sufficient current capacity).

Please consider power supply integrity (protection) when installing power. As an example; depending on the lock type used a fire drop relay may be installed in the control cabinet. If two power supplies are used, one for Gallagher units and an independent one for external devices, if the lock fails or pulls down a power supply, the electronics will keep operating and monitoring

The front optical tamper detector will sense when the cabinet door has been opened. The rear optical tamper detector will sense when the cabinet is removed from its mounting surface.

Initializing the tampers should be the last thing you do before you leave the site.

• If you will be completing the Installer Portal (configuration app) configuration on-site, initialize the tampers just before you activate the site.

• If you will be leaving the site and completing the Installer Portal configuration off-site, initialize the tampers now.

When you have finished wiring the devices and no longer need to access the cabinet:

1. Close and lock the cabinet door using the key provided.

2. Within the SMB Installer Portal, open the site and click the Controller at the top of the hardware tree.

3. Within the Controller lightbox, select RESTART.

Configuring Controller settings in a web browser

The Controller’s cloud configuration web pages allow configuration of specific Controller settings, including the Controller’s date/time and NTP server if needed.

To connect to the Controller’s cloud configuration web pages, there are two methods:

1. Check cable type, size and maximum distances

2. Pull cables for all inputs and outputs

3. Check device power requirements

Cable distance

* The matching of wire sizes to equivalent wire gauges are only approximate. ** Recommended cable types for optimal HBUS RS485 performance.

About this topic

The Gallagher SMB Kit installation note contains the procedures for bringing the controller online. This topic contains information to surplus the installation note, in case further help is required.

Bringing the controller online

The Controller should be brought online before the site is configured in the SMB Installer Portal.

1. Connect the site's LAN (Ethernet cable) to the Router's secondary Ethernet port.

2. Power on the Controller and wait for for the Controller to show as Online in the SMB Installer Portal. To indicate the Controller has come online in the SMB Installer Portal, the word 'OFFLINE' will not display next to the Controller item on the 'HARDWARE' tab. The physical Controller also enters the single flash state when it comes online.

3. Once connected, the controller will receive any outstanding firmware updates from the Cloud server.

If the Controller doesn't come online

Check the site has an internet connection - plug the laptop into the network via ethernet and test the connection.

If the site does have internet connectivity, try the following:

1. Check the controller flash state (see below table)

2. Use cellular router instead, as a last resort

Controller Flash Modes

The 8 In 4 Out LED is located near the centre of the board. The 8 In LED is located above IN3.

Proxy Server

If the site is using a proxy server, this may also stop the controller from coming online.

To resolve this issue, you will need to connect a web browser to the Controller's configuration web pages and enter the proxy server's connection details.

When the Controller is powered up with DIP switches 2 and 3 ON, the Controller uses the following default addresses:

Controller IP: 192.168.1.199

Gateway: 192.168.1.198

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

This enables you to configure your PC with an IP address in the same subnet as the Controller, and by setting DIP switch 1 to ON, connect a web browser to the Controller. Your PC IP address should be different from the Controller's IP address, (i.e. not 192.168.1.199).

To enter the proxy server's connection details, perform the following procedure:

1. Connect the Controller to your PC via the Controller's Ethernet port.

2. Set DIP switches 1, 2 and 3 to ON.

3. Power cycle the Controller.

4. Using a web browser, enter the IP address of the Controller as follows: http://192.168.1.199/cloud/ The Enter Network Password web page displays.

5. Enter cloud for the username, then GGLcloud for the password and press Enter. The Gallagher Cloud Controller Configuration web page displays.

6. Click the Proxy Server Configuration link. The Proxy Server Configuration web page displays.

7. Enter the proxy server's name, port number, and logon credentials (if required).

8. Click Save.

9. Set DIP switches 1, 2 and 3 to OFF.

10. Connect the Controller to the site's network.

11. Power cycle the Controller.

The proxy settings are persisted across Controller re-power.

To clear the proxy settings, set DIP switches 1, 2 and 3 to ON, then power cycle the Controller. Wait for the Controller's Run LED to enter a 2 flash pattern, then set DIP switches 1, 2 and 3 to OFF, and power cycle the Controller again.

Firewall

If the site has a firewall, this may also stop the controller from coming online.

The customer will need to open the required ports/protocols to allow the controller to communicate to the internet through their firewall.

Destination Ports

Detailed below are the destination ports that the SMB Controller and router will try to connect to for various services.

Clearing the Controller's configuration

Basic reset

To do a basic reset of the Controller's configuration, perform the following procedure:

1. Set DIP switch 2 to ON.

2. Power cycle the Controller.

3. Wait a few minutes until the LED is flashing in a steady state (2 flash or 5 flash).

4. Set DIP switch 2 to OFF.

5. Power cycle the Controller again.

   The Controller can now be assigned to a new site.

More reset options

If a basic reset is not sufficient, refer to the "DIP switch settings" section in your Controller's Install Note for more information about the DIP switch functionality.

How the Controller works

The Controller works through the following steps:

• The Controller requests an IP address using DHCP.

• The DHCP server on the local area network assigns an IP address to the Controller, so it can send and receive TCP/IP messages from the Cloud server.

• Most networks have a DHCP server. The Router provided has a DHCP server.

• The Controller uses DNS to resolve the IP address for the Gallagher cloud services.

• The Controller uses the SNTP to obtain the time.

• The Controller establishes an HTTPS session with the Cloud server for encrypted communications.

• The Controller authenticates the Cloud server. This ensures that site-specific data is only exchanged with the authentic Cloud server.

• The Cloud server authenticates the Controller. This ensures that site-specific data is only exchanged with a Gallagher provisioned device.

The Controller connects to the site's local TCP/IP network. If required (i.e. TCP/IP network connectivity is unreliable), the Router can be used to provide connection to a mobile network provider. The router comes pre-equipped with a SIM card and an ethernet cable to connect it to the controller. Purchase of the Cellular data subscription package will automatically enable the controller to communicate over the cellular network.
