3 Installation
The steps below are guidance for installation of the annunciator.
1 Check if you have received all items ordered.
2 Install the cabinet.
3 Power up the annunciator and check if it can be normally started.
4 Wiring and check the lines.
5 Setup annunciator and define by using GstNDef Defining Tool on a PC and
download them to the annunciator.
3.1 Component Inspection
Before installation, check the following items:
Check Engineering Requirement
Check the packing list according to engineering requirement. The main items to be
examined are: installation and operation manual, key to the annunciator and etc.
Check Internal Components and Interconnection inside the annunciator
All internal parts have been connected (including LCD drive board, main board,
indicator board and main front panel) before the annunciator leaves the factory.
Therefore, you can mainly check the connection among parts, including the connection
between LCD drive board and indicator board, indicator board and main board, etc.
Please refer to Appendix Afor the internal connection diagram.
3.2 Install the Cabinet
The cabinet mounts using four 12mm-diameter holes located in the back box. Carefully
unpack the system and check for shipping damage. Mount the cabinet in a clean, dry,
vibration-free area where extreme temperatures are not encountered. The area should
be readily accessible with sufficient room to easily install and maintain the annunciator.
Locate the cabinet at a proper height above the floor with the hinge mounting on the
right.
The annunciator can be flush-mounted or wall-mounted. The dimensions for
wall-mounting are shown in following Fig.3-1. The dimensions for flush-mounted are
shown in following Fig.3-2.

3.3 Start-up Check
After installation, apply power to the annunciator and check if the annunciator can
self-test. The procedures are as follows.
Powering on the annunciator, LCD doesn’t light and all LEDs are illuminated for 5s.
As All LED go out, LCD displays Data Loading…… and GST logo. Initiation of the
system takes about 85s~90s.
Self-test of LEDs on the front panel.
Self-test of internal cards.
Reset of the system.
Start-up check is done if the annunciator switches on normally after undertaking above
steps.
Note: After power on, the annunciator will display some fault messages because the
external wiring is not connected.
