The G-SPEAK ULTRA promotes the ultimate in convenience and peace of
mind by combining wireless GSM technology with CENTURION’s futuristic and
stylish ULTRA interface. Infused with the DNA of innovation, the G-SPEAK
ULTRA allows wireless communication between the user and the intercom gate
station, eectively turning the user’s phone into the intercom handset.
Filter Time: Filter Time determines how long an input event (Rising or Falling
Edge) must be present before it is recognised, i.e. an SMS or email is sent, or
a missed call is initiated. The time is set in increments of one second and the
default is 0.
Blanking Time: Blanking Time determines how long the unit will wait
between events before it will recognise the next event.
Hang Time: The time for which the call remains connected after a DTMF
event.
Any Number Mode: When enabled, this useful feature allows any number
to activate the module’s outputs, irrespective of whether they are learned into
memory. A typical application would be an event such as a wedding where
many guests need to be given temporary access. Instead of manually learning
in a 100 guests and then having to delete them again after the occasion,
the administrator can simply enable Any Number Mode and disable it again
afterward.
DTMF: Dual Tone Multi-Frequency signaling. This is used for
telecommunication signaling over analogue telephone lines in the voice-
frequency band between telephone handsets and other communication devices
and the switching centre. This allows the user to press a number on his or her
mobile handset to switch any of the outputs on the G-SPEAK ULTRA.
Channel: An electrical gateway implemented as a physical terminal on the
G-SPEAK ULTRA that provides the external interface to Input or Output signals
Called Party: When one of the Call Buttons on the Calling Module is pressed,
the Called Party is the person or persons who receives/answers the call on
their mobile phone or landline handset.
Calling Module: This can be seen as similar to a traditional intercom
gate station or entry panel that resides outside of the property and is the
component of the G-SPEAK ULTRA system that is used to dial through to and
communicate with Voice Phones.
GSM Controller: A module using 2G GSM (Global System for Mobile
Communications) technology to communicate wirelessly with GSM-enabled
handsets, allowing both audible communication and monitoring and switching
of Inputs and Outputs.
Voice Phone: A Voice Phone pertains specically to the intercom functionality
of the G-SPEAK ULTRA system, and is any learned-in phone with the ability to
communicate audibly with the Calling Module, but is also capable of activating
any of the Outputs during a call using DTMF signaling.
Switch Phone: A Switch Phone is a learned-in phone that is capable of
exercising some inuence upon the Outputs of the controller via GSM switching
and does not necessarily possess Voice Phone functionality, though it can be
learned in for both.
Access Number Proles
The access number conguration proles eliminates the hassle of conguring
input and output permissions and notications every time that a new number
is added.
Intelligent Gate Status Monitoring
With seamless integration with CENTURION gate motors, the G-SPEAK ULTRA
will let the user know when his or her gate has been left open, or is in any
other state specied by the user through intelligent monitoring of the gate
motor’s status output. Adjustable Filter settings mean that the user can specify
under which conditions they are notied about a particular gate status, for
example if the gate has remained open for longer than 20 seconds.
Supplied with activated SIM card (South Africa only)
All G-SPEAK ULTRA units are supplied with an activated Vodacom SIM card
(South Africa only). Airtime can be purchased via G-WEB (South Africa only).
Monitoring and alerting
The device can be congured to monitor up to four separate electrical devices,
such as a home alarm or even a water reservoir. It could send the user an
SMS, give a missed call or even send an email, letting the user know if the
house alarm is on or o or a reservoir is full or empty. When congured as
inputs, the unit’s four individually-congurable channels can be congured
to react to Rising Edges, Falling Edges, or both, which makes it ideal for
monitoring variable levels such as mains power. A single input can be used, for
example, to send a notication to users when mains power has failed, and the
same input can notify users once it comes back on, freeing up the other inputs
to take care of monitoring duties for other devices.
Control
When congured as outputs, the device’s dry contacts can be used to remotely
control electrical devices and appliances such as gate motors, alarms, geysers
and lights, to name but a few possible applications. Outputs can be activated
via missed call, SMS text message or by pressing a number on the user’s
phone’s touchpad.
Timed access control
(Weekly and Visitor) Set arrival and departure dates and times; guests will
only be able to activate the device’s outputs between these limits, aording
the user maximum security and aording guests maximum convenience. As a
special value-add developed specically with B & B owners in mind, customised
arrival and departure messages with welcoming messages, access instructions,
etc., can be sent automatically to guests and visitors.
Alternatively, set weekly recurring time-periods (for example 8am to 5pm,
Monday to Friday) during which users will have access to the system.
Outside of the congured time-periods, access will be denied.
Add the ability to map inputs to outputs, customise the input and output
notication messages and use the G-SPEAK ULTRA in advanced applications
and one has a powerful and convenient GSM-based monitoring and control
solution. Up to 20 separate text messages with up to ve scheduled outputs
can be congured.
Time-barring windows can be congured to block notications, activations or
specic access numbers.
Quick device associations
Devices can be associated to a G-WEB prole in a matter of seconds by simply
scanning a QR code with one’s smartphone and a third-party universal QR
scanner application.
Table 3 below lists the information shown on the dierent screens found
on the LCD interface. The left and right scroll buttons are used to toggle
between the dierent screens.
Easy access to diagnostics
This smart device provides intelligent feedback via a graphic user interface
displaying status, system information and diagnostic messages for the
complete ULTRA experience.
Smart hardware
An internal GSM antenna ensures healthier, more reliable network signal
strength without the frustration of trying to nd the optimal location to
mount the unit. If one needs to t the G-SPEAK ULTRA in a metal enclosure,
simply attach an external antenna to the onboard connector.
Time-barring per call button
Each call button can be individually time-barred. For example, the primary
button can be time-barred so that only the secondary call button works
during the evenings or early in the morning while the primary call button is
disabled.

Main Unit
The Mounting Plate is used to mount the G-SPEAK ULTRA device to a wall.
Use four screws with wall anchors (not supplied) to secure Mounting Plate.
1. Position the Calling Module on wall adjacent to entrance gate or door.
2. Mount at a height that allows for comfortably speaking into the microphone.
The recommended height is 1600mm above ground level.
1. Ensure that the Calling Module does not protrude too far into the driveway.
2. The Calling Module must not be set too far back and must be easily
accessed from a vehicle.
3. The height should allow for comfortably speaking into the microphone.
Clip the G-SPEAK ULTRA main unit into the mounting plate after it has been
secured to the wall; a ‘click’ will be heard if done correctly.
Should the G-SPEAK ULTRA need to be mounted onto a DIN-rail, a DIN-rail
mounting kit is available. Enquire at Centurion Systems (Pty) Ltd for more
information.
Secure the DIN-rail clips to the back of the mounting plate using four (4)
screws.
Position the bottom of the DIN-rail clips onto the rail, and clip the top end into
position(A). A ‘click’ will be heard if it has been done correctly(B). Clip the
G-SPEAK ULTRA main unit into the Mounting plate after it has been secured to
the wall; another ‘click’ will be heard if done correctly.
To remove the unit from the DIN-rail, remove the main unit from the mounting
plate as described in Section 10.1. Insert a small at screwdriver into the
hole(s) shown in Figure 12, and gently pry the clips from the rail.
If the cable is surface-mounted, route the cable into the unit from underneath.
Terminate the cables into the voice communication terminals by following the
wiring diagram found under Section 10.4.
Write Call Button labels, insert into lens(es) and clip lens(es) back onto chassis.
Clip the front cover back into position and secure it with the xing screw
provided in the kit.
Carefully remove the front cover of the gate station. Insert screwdriver as
shown, unclip the Calling Module and remove it from the base.
The Mounting Panel is used to mount the calling module to a wall or
goose-neck. Use two screws with wall anchors (not supplied) to secure the
Mounting panel to a wall, or two screw to secure it to a goose-neck.
If the cable is being routed into the unit from a concealed conduit behind the
base, knock out one of the cable entry holes provided in the base and feed
through the cable. Ensure that at least 100mm of cable extends out of the wall
or goose-neck.
Run the cable through the base, hook the Calling Module into the base as
