Installation
The installation of this kit must be carried out by a Gallagher Install Partner. Complete the
instructions in this document to install the kit.
ATTENTION: This equipment contains components that can be damaged by electrostatic
discharge. Ensure both you and the equipment are earthed before beginning any servicing.
1. Install the cabinet
The cabinet is a secure metal enclosure containing the electrical equipment. The cabinet
provides installation space for two 7 Ah 12 V batteries.
Before you begin
• Location
Choose an installation location for the cabinet. The cabinet should be installed in a cool,
dry, and secured location such as a server room. The location must provide environmental
and extreme temperature protection, AC mains power availability, and building cable
availability for the external connections. Ensure the cabinet is accessible to the site’s
wired network.
• Dimensions
Height: 500 mm (19.7"). Width: 400 mm (15.7"). Depth: 150 mm (5.9").
• Earthing
The cabinet has an earth wire connected to the cabinet door and power supply unit.
If the wire is disconnected during installation, please ensure it is reconnected.
• Tamper detection
The controller's front optical detector uses the reflective sticker (pre-installed on the
inside of the cabinet door) to detect a change in light when the cabinet door is opened.
The controller's rear optical detector uses the light pipe in the back face of the cabinet,
and a rear tamper sticker on the wall to detect a change in light when the cabinet is
removed from the wall.

• Knockouts
The knockouts in the side panels of the cabinet can be drilled out (or 'cut out').
Each knockout has a 'dimple' in the centre to aid alignment of a drill or other cutting tool.
The knockouts are designed for use with a maximum conduit size of 25 mm (1") and for
use with PVC conduit terminators and appropriate cable glands.

Procedure
1. Remove the gear plate from the cabinet by unscrewing the four bolts and lifting it out.
2. Identify and create the knockouts needed for the external cables. Alternatively, drill out
any additional holes needed for cable or conduit access.
3. Mark the position of the four mounting holes and rear tamper detector on the mounting
surface.
4. Fix the rear tamper sticker to the mounting surface. The sticker must align with the light
pipe located in the back of the cabinet.
5. Secure the cabinet to the wall, using a minimum of four suitable fixing anchors.
The cabinet must be tight and flush against the wall. This ensures the distance between
the rear tamper sticker and the controller's rear tamper detector is kept to a minimum.
6. Install the gear plate within the cabinet.
7. If using the Permaconn PM54, refer to the Permaconn Install Note for installation details.

2. Install readers
The default configuration provides allocation for one reader. It is recommended at least
one reader be configured to a site. This allows a user to arm or disarm locally using their
smartphone, in the event that the site losses internet connectivity. The smartphone uses
Bluetooth to communicate with the reader.
Doors can be configured without a reader, if required.
The HBUS communications protocol allows a single reader to communicate over a distance
of up to 500 m (1640 ft) from the controller, when using data only in a single CAT5E cable.
Cabling should be a minimum size of 0.2 mm2(24 AWG).
Connect the reader tail to the building cable. All cabling between HBUS devices should use
‘daisy chain’ wiring. This allows you to have multiple devices on the same cabling run. The end
devices on the HBUS run must be terminated. To terminate a reader, connect the orange wire
to the green wire.
Should you require multiple doors, the HBUS 8 Port Hub (C300698) can be utilized. This hub
supports the star wiring of eight HBUS devices to the hub's eight ports. Note that you will still
need to provide power to the door.

The reader is designed to be mounted on any solid flat surface. However, installation on metal
surfaces, particularly those with a large surface area will reduce read range. The extent to
which the range is reduced will depend upon the type of metal surface.
The recommended mounting height for the reader is 1.1 m (3.6 ft) from the floor level to the
centre of the reader. However, this may vary in some countries, and you should check local
regulations for variations to this height. If using conduit, the reader can be mounted on a
mounting block (C300951).

3. Connect inputs and outputs
Two I/O boards are installed in the cabinet; the 8In Board, and the 8In 4Out Board.
The boards provide connection for a total of 16 inputs and 4 outputs. Two of the 16 inputs
are used for monitoring mains power failure and battery low. The remaining 14 inputs can be
used to connect sensors.
The HBUS 16In 16Out Board can be utilized with the SMB Kit to expand the solution.
Balanced inputs
Cabling should be a minimum size of 24 AWG (0.2 mm2) for all balanced inputs.
For tamper detection, the balanced inputs require resistors to be connected as close as
possible to the device being monitored. When the monitored device incorporates a normally-
closed tamper switch, it can be wired in series with resistor R1.

Alarm 2 (4k7 + 4k7 = 9k4) 3.3 V
Open circuit tamper 0 (no resistance) 5 V
All devices connected to a single I/O board must share the same physical resistor value,
(i.e. individual devices cannot have different resistors, unless assigned to different boards).
You can change the resistance value for an I/O board within the SMB Configuration App.
Additional boards can be added to the system.
Power can be drawn from the Fuse & Fire Relay Board. This board provides power distribution
and enables a fire panel to control power to a site’s doors. The board can be used to control
power to sensors and sirens, whilst maintaining circuit protection.

Output relays
Relays are provided as ‘dry’ contacts or ‘electromagnetically switched’ contacts. Each relay is
rated 3 A at 24 Vdc for a resistive load, or 1 A at 24 Vdc for an inductive load.
The relay is controlled by the assigned output in the SMB Configuration App. To utilize the
relay, terminate the positive constant supply to the common termination of the relay and
nominate either Normally Open (N/O) or Normally Closed (N/C) termination to operate the
external device. Refer to the image below.

4. Connect power to the controller
The power supply comes pre-installed in the cabinet. It can power the electrical hardware and
charge up to two 7 Ah 12 V batteries. It provides a battery charging current of 3.5 A.
The power supply provides two alarm outputs for monitoring battery low voltage and mains
failure alarms. Both the alarm outputs have on-board 4k7 EOL resistors fitted as standard.
Note: Do not apply voltage directly to the Battery Low or Mains Failure outputs, as this will
damage the monitoring circuitry, rendering the power supply unusable.
1. Connect the earth wire from the power supply to the cabinet door.
2. Using the battery lead provided, connect one or two 7 Ah 12 V batteries to the power
supply. The batteries must be connected in parallel. The red wire connects to the red/
positive battery terminal. The black wire connects to the black/negative battery terminal.
The batteries are not provided. The batteries are used as standby batteries, should the
mains power supply fail.
3. Connect an IEC power lead from the mains wall socket to the power supply unit. The IEC
power lead is not provided with the kit.
4. Ensure all equipment operates correctly, both with mains power ON/batteries ON, and
with mains power OFF/batteries ON.
Calculating battery life
The cabinet supports up to two 7 Ah 12 V batteries. To know how long your batteries will
support your cabinet, calculate the following:
(combined battery capacity*) ÷ (total current draw in amps**) = (battery life in hours)
*To find the combined battery capacity, add the Ah values of all your batteries.
**To find the total current draw, add the current draw of the individual units in your cabinet.
Refer to the end of this installation note and separate hardware installation notes for current
draw values.
Battery Low alarm
The Battery Low system alarm will be triggered when the battery charge falls below 10.8 V.
If no battery is connected the Battery Low alarm will not activate. This output is connected to
Input 15 in the default configuration.
