INSERTING THE SIM CARD
Before inserting the SIM card, make sure the device is off and use all due
precaution to avoid electrostatic discharge.
 Remove the cover by unscrewing the two screws.
 Push the SIM Card housing cover as indicated by the arrow OPEN until it
unlocks and lift it.
 Carefully slide the SIM Card into its housing cover.
 Lower the SIM Card housing cover and push it as indicated by the arrow
LOCK until it locks in place.
ATTENTION
It is not required to remove the PIN code prior to
the use of the HelpyGSM.
The PIN code can be entered, if necessary, by
setting parameter 282.
INSTALLING THE ANTENNA
 Screw the antenna extension cable provided in the appropriate
connector.
ATTENTION
Position the antenna with magnetic base so that any
metal surfaces do not block the signal.
ATTENTION
In order to avoid damage, never power up the base
station without having first installed the antenna.
ATTENTION
Do not install the product in the immediate vicinity
of other electrical or electronic equipment that was
not designed to be combined with it and that could
cause disturbance or interference.

CONNECTING THE SPEAKER UNITS
HelpyGSM comes with a built-in active speaker unit.
It is also possible to connect to the HelpyGSM:
- up to 2 independent active speaker units
- up to 2 passive speaker units (or cables with microphone) combined to the
integrated active speaker unit.
It makes HelpyGSM extremely flexible and allows to realize many different
types of installation.
Note: an active speaker unit allows to realize an independent voice
point with dedicated pushbutton.
Note: a passive speaker unit must be connected to an active speaker
unit and allows to double it. The passive speaker unit can be
installed at max 6m distance from HelpyGSM (or from
another active speaker unit) by using a shielded cable.
Note: in case of connection of active speaker units, the type of
installation must be defined (by setting parameters 63 and
73).
 Connect the speaker units (beware of terminal polarity):

CONNECTING THE EMERGENCY CALL BUTTONS
Car pushbutton
It is possible to connect (inside the elevator car) voltage free contact
pushbuttons or powered pushbuttons.
 Connect, following one of the diagrams shown below, the car
pushbutton.
Voltage free contact pushbuttons
Powered pushbuttons (12~24Vdc) – 2 solutions

Page 8 INSTALLING
Other pushbuttons
It is possible to use for the pit, the car-top or the landing floors, voltage free
contact pushbuttons (NO).
 Connect, following the diagram shown below, the other pushbuttons.

INSTALLING Page 9
CONNECTING THE INDICATOR LIGHTS
The GIVEN ALARM INDICATOR LIGHT (yellow) switches on after pressing
the emergency button to indicate the beginning of the alarm procedure and
stays steady light until the end. The RECEIVED ALARM INDICATOR
LIGHT (green) switches on when the alarm call is answered.
 Connect, following one of the diagrams shown below, the indicator
lights.

Page 10 INSTALLING
CONNECTING THE LOCAL TELEPHONE
 Connect the local telephone (for programming and managing the
device) directly to the RJ11 connector (L in the picture at page 2) or to
TEL and – terminals (irrespective of the polarity).
CONNECTING THE FILTER INPUT
 Connect the filter contact as per one of the modes shown in the table:
C1 TERMINAL CONNECTED TO: FILTER CONTACT
TERMINAL BLOCKS
+12 IN1 / –
–IN1 / +12
external reference IN1 / external reference
CONNECTING THE AUXILIARY INPUT
 Connect the external contact (normally open) to ALZ and – terminals.
Note: the ALZ input must be programmed as auxiliary input (by
setting parameter 55).
CONNECTING THE RELAY
 Connect the output RL1 (normally open contact) to the external device.
REPLACING BATTERY
ATTENTION
Only use replacement batteries supplied by Esse-ti.

TURNING ON
Power connection
 Connect the power supply cable to the 230Vac mains.
or
 Connect an external 12Vdc power supply (min. 11Vdc, max. 14Vdc) to
the power supply input of the terminal block (+ and – terminals).
 Connect the built-in backup battery cable to the slot B in the picture at
page 2.
 Close the cover by screwing the two screws.
Note: the power supply cable's plug must be always easily
accessible.
Note: a protection cut-out switch must be installed upstream to
interrupt power supply in case of fault.
Turning on
 Wait 1 minute after power-up to give time to the HelpyGSM to register
correctly with the GSM network.
 Make sure the GSM status LED ( ) flashes briefly once every 3 seconds
as shown in the paragraph “LED signalling GSM status” on page 29.
If the GSM status LED ( ) flashes quicker and stays lit for a longer time (see
on page 29), the HelpyGSM has not properly registered with the GSM provider
or the SIM card is protected by PIN:
 Check the SIM is correctly inserted and, if the SIM card has a PIN, enter
the PIN using the code 282.
 See also the chapter “Troubleshooting” on page 31.
 Check the intensity of the GSM signal using the LED (see paragraph
“LED signalling GSM signal strength” on page 28) and find, for the
placement of the antenna, an area with enough signal.

MINIMUM OPERATIONS TO VERIFY PROPER
INSTALLATION
1. PROGRAMMING
 Access to programming: lift the local telephone handset and dial
.
The programming activated message will be heard.
 Program a telephone number for the emergency-call alarm:
dial < telephone number > .
 Record the identification message of the specific elevator (max. 22
seconds), which is meant to contain all necessary information
concerning the elevator location: dial and, after the
"Correct" message, pronounce the message and hang up.
 To listen again to the previous message: lift the handset and dial
.
 Make an external call to check the telephone line presence: dial and,
after the "Correct" message, digit the telephone number to make a test
call.
2. TESTING THE ALARM PROCEDURE
 Press the emergency call button for more than 2 seconds (factory
value).
The alarm starts.
3. ANSWERING THE ALARM
Note: the activation mode of the communication with the trapped
person can be configured with the “Two-way communication
mode during an alarm” programming (code 78).
-1st mode: automatic two-way connection established after the messages
(factory default)
 Answer by the called party.
The two-way communication mode will be activated after the voice messages.
 Speak with the trapped person.
-2nd mode: two-way communication established after input of "Communication
activation" code
 Answer by the called party.
The voice messages will be heard.

INSTALLING Page 15
 Press to speak with the trapped person.
-3nd mode: immediate and automatic two-way communication (no messages)
 Answer by the called party.
 Speak with the trapped person.
4. RESETTING THE ALARM
Note: the alarm reset mode can be configured with the “Alarm reset
mode” programming (code 77).
-1st mode: reset by “End” code (factory default)
 Press to end the alarm.
-2nd mode: automatic reset
 Hang up (or press ) to end the alarm.
-3nd mode: automatic reset with local acknowledgement
 Hang up to end the call.
 Press the reset pushbutton to end the alarm.
An end-of-alarm call will be generated.
 Answer by the called party.
 Press .
If the reset pushbutton is not pressed within 6 hours, the alarm is automatically
ended.
Note: in case it should not be possible to stop the alarm procedure
remotely (i.e. the entered telephone number is incorrect)
simply lift the handset of the local telephone and dial
* <Password> # (by factory default: ) or press the
reset pushbutton.

Page 16 INSTALLING
USING THE RESET BUTTON
Note: the reset operation does not alter the previously set
parameters.
Use of the reset pushbutton (D in the picture at page 2):
- Pressing shortly
Allows to interrupt an alarm call.
By pressing shortly you get the same result as lifting the handset of the
local telephone and entering * <Password> #.
- Pressing longer (10 seconds)
