1 Description

Congratulations on your purchase of the NIBBLE GC-36 GSM Communicator module!

The NIBBLE GC-36 module was developed taking into account security and remote mainte-

nance needs. Therefore, the module can operate completely by itself providing remote mainte-

nance functions, automatic output actuation (actuation on incoming call and on input changes)

and automatic input alerts (SMS and audio).

The module allows for custom SMS and audio messages for each input, tamper and power

supply status changes.

It is also possible to associate with each input state actuations on the outputs to provide basic

functions like turning on a water pump when ﬂooding is detected or activating a siren when an

intrusion is detected.

It is also available the functionality to actuate on the outputs through phone calls allowing for

an easy and costless way to activate outputs.

All these features can be conﬁgured in the following ways:

• Via local user interface (see section 5);

• Via SMS commands (see section 6);

• Via a Windows application with local USB connection (see section 7).

All the software tools and manuals may be found online at

http://www.nibble.pt/product/viewp/gc.

2 Technical Features

• Local interface with 2x16 alphanumeric LCD and capacitive keypad;

• 6 bidirectional input/outputs;

• Micro-USB;

• 150 users;

• SMS and voice message alerts for each input;

• Periodic test calls;

• SIM card balance indication (country restriction);

• Disarm code;

• Access levels 2 and 3;

• Output actuation with input changes;

• Output actuation with costless phone call;

• Tamper detection;

• Power supply failure detection;

• Internal antenna (optional external not included);

• Backup 9V battery Ni-MH (not included).

3 Installation and connections

Installation of the GC-36 is done in the following steps:

1. Pre-conﬁguration of the equipment via the PC application - optional;

2. Inserting an activated SIM card without PIN code lock;

3. Connection of external peripherals (sensors, actuators or other auxiliary devices);

4. Power connection and, optionally, backup battery;

5. Placing the device in the desired location;

6. Conﬁguration of the equipment via the local interface – optional;

7. Enabling tamper detection – optional;

Figure 1: GC-36 rear view

Figure 1 features the rear view of the

GC-36 detailing the inputs/outputs, inter-

faces and power.

3.1 Power Supply

The module can be powered with a 12

to 32VDC power supply. Whatever the cho-

sen voltage, the power supply must provide

at least 12W (i.e.: 12V 1A) and allow for

current peaks of up to 2A. The positive ter-

minal of the transformer must be connected

to the ‘+’ terminal of the module’s PWR con-

nector and the negative to the ‘-’ terminal.

An optional rechargeable 9V Ni-MH battery

should be connected to ‘+’ and ‘-’ termi-

nals of the module’s BAT connector. For

the optimum performance of the battery, a

15VDC power supply to the module is rec-

ommended.

Version 1.9

3.2 SIM Card

To insert the SIM card, slide the cover and insert it into the slot.

The SIM card PIN code is requested if it is not deactivated. After 3 failed attempts an error

message is displayed, the module must be restarted and the SIM card must be unlocked with the

PUK code without GC-36.

To beneﬁt from all the features, your SIM card should allow for the sending and receiving of

SMS and phone calls.

The card can be postpaid or prepaid.

3.3 Bidirectional inputs and outputs

The bidirectional inputs and outputs can be accessed in IO1 to IO6 terminals. Each IO terminal

is accompanied by a ground terminal to facilitate the connections. Each IO terminal allows the

application of voltage levels from 0V to 40V.

Inputs

The inputs have negative logic, that is, they are activated when a ground signal is applied to

the IO terminal. To actuate on the inputs, a dry contact should be used with one of the contacts

connected to the adjacent ground terminal, as shown in ﬁgure 2. No voltage should be applied on

the inputs.

Figure 2: Input states with dry contact

Outputs

The outputs are open collector type. When activated they close the circuit to the ground and

when deactivated they open the circuit, as is shown in ﬁgure 3. Each output allows up to 500mA

maximum current and 40V maximum voltage.
