Fixing the wall mounting brackets to the DOU
Each DOU weighs up to 26Kg (Depending upon the actual version) and is supplied with four steel wall
mounting brackets. Each bracket is pre-assembled with one M6 X 16mm set-screw, steel washer,
rubber washer, and expanding nut. Push the bracket assemblies into the four predrilled holes on the
rear of the enclosure and tighten the set screw such that the brackets are secured firmly to the
enclosure by means of the expanding nuts.
NOTE: It is important to ensure that the brackets are mounted vertically so as to protrude above and
below the top and bottom surfaces of the DOU (See Figure 1 and Figure 2).
Fixing the DOU(s) to the wall
The DOU(s) should be mounted to a flat vertical surface (e.g. brick wall) by means of the four mounting
brackets supplied. It is the Installer’s responsibility to ensure that the wall, or other vertical surface, is
of suitable material, flat and dry, and of sufficient strength to continuously and safely support the
mass of the DOU(s) to be installed.
For fixing to brick or concrete, the use of one of the following two options is recommended:
•Four off, M8 x 75mm (minimum) zinc plated expanding anchor bolts and nuts.
•Four off, 7.93mm x 62.5mm (minimum) zinc plated hex –head coach screws, together with
suitable plugs (e.g. “Rawl-plug”).
For mounting onto surfaces other than brick or concrete, it is the Installer’s responsibility to ensure
that any screws, bolts, or other fixings used are suitable for use with the base material, and of
sufficient size and strength to continuously and safely support the mass of the DOU(s) to be installed.
If a DOU is to be mounted onto a conductive metal surface, it is the Installer’s responsibility to ensure
that the mounting surface is properly earthed in accordance with the prevailing National and Local
electricity supply rules and regulations. If a DOU is to be mounted onto a surface consisting of wood
or other flammable material, it is the Installer’s responsibility to ensure that the installation is in full
compliance with National and Local building and fire prevention regulations.

DOU power supply
Check the power supply tag to ensure correct incoming mains voltage before connecting the DOU This
tag is located near the bottom left corner of the power board and the supply voltage is also printed
on the DOU Serial Number Label. The mains supply input is internally protected by a 5A circuit breaker.
Always replace the metal terminal cover. The incoming mains supply must be capable of delivering 5-
amps continuously, and an external safety isolating device must also be provided as part of the
building installation.
The DOU must be permanently connected to a good quality earth for safety reasons and
for good surge protection. Use at least 2.5mm2(12 or 14 AWG) wire, or (preferably) 12mm
(1/2”) sleeved braiding to a grounded copper earth spike.
A DOU using a power plug must (additionally) remain connected to a permanent earth at
all times.
The standard DOU. enclosure is manufactured from painted mild steel and designed to be wall-
mounted inside a dry building, away from direct sunlight. The ambient temperature in which it
operates must lie within the range –5oC to +60oC (23oF to 140oF). Extra environmental protection must
be provided if the DOU is to be installed in an outdoor location.
WARNING: The DOU. mustbe installed in full compliance with the Local and National Electricity Supply
Authority Regulations, and only by competent and fully trained personnel. It is essential that the
installation and servicing procedures and instructions issued in this documentation be followed during
any installation and servicing of this equipment. The product must not be installed or serviced before
isolating all incoming mains voltage supplies elsewhere. The DOU. contains hazardous voltages.
All incoming cables must be protected from abrasion and must be relieved from mechanical strain
(cable glands are supplied with the DOU in order to help meet this requirement). If an incoming
(mains) power supply cable should slip its anchorage, placing a strain upon the individual conductors,
then the protective earth conductor must be the last to take the strain.
Any additional power cord anchorage required during installation must be made from insulating
material or must contain a lining made from insulating material. All unused cable entry holes in the
gland plate at the bottom of the DOU enclosure MUST be plugged with the special plastic bungs that
are fitted upon leaving the factory.
It is the Installer’s responsibility to ensure full compliance with the above two paragraphs.

DOU storage warning
Never put any items in the enclosure, it violates all Health & Safety rules.
You will have received a GTI Product folder when the system was commissioned. Items such as the
following, should be kept in the plastic wallet at the back of this folder.
•GTI installation CD
•Spare fuses
•Tool to adjust the potentiometers (Required for calibration)
•Spare cable crimps

Fibre optic connection
Use Port 1 on the Micro Board (See page 16) to connect the fibre optic cable (FOC). Port 1 consists of
two sockets, match the colour of the plugs with the sockets as shown in the following diagram:

N/A
FOA
Fibre-optic adapter. This is a bidirectional converter, it
translates between electrical signals and light pulses that
can be transmitted through the FOC.
Do not put the FOA in the controller. That is
against all electrical design principles.
GTI-FOA
SPA
The USB<>Serial Port Adapter. Due to the requirements of
the FOA, it is highly recommended to order this device
from Bailoy to guarantee reliable operation.
This requires software, which is supplied
with the device, to be installed prior to
connection.
Furthermore, the Power Settings (Found in
the Windows Control Panel) of the
computer, must be reconfigured to ensure
the USB cannot enter standby mode.
GTI-USB-SPA
FOC
Fibre-optic cable. The cable consists of 2 fibres. Each fibre
is terminated with a grey plug on one side and a blue plug
on the other side. The cable also acts as an electric
insulator.
The cable is available in 3, 6 and 10m lengths. The
standard supplied length is 3m (GTI-FOC-3M).
GTI-FOC-3M
GTI-FOC-6M
GTI-FOC-10M
PORT1
This is the port to which the FOC connects. In the case of
a DOU, it is connected to PORT1, which can be found on
the Micro Board.
N/A
Use the FOA at the PC side (Again the colours must be matched as shown in Figure 3). Fibre optic Port
2 on the Micro Board is used to connect to the next DOU. Do not remove the rubber plugs from Port
2 unless the port is required to make the connection to another DOU.
Do not attempt to shorten the fibre optic cables as the terminations have been carefully polished.
Make a coil of the excess cable. The diameter of the coil must exceed 50mm (2”) to avoid damage to
the fibres.

CSG cables
The maximum distance that a station can be located from the DOU is determined by the voltage
available at its decoder-terminals whilst the station is running. This in turn is decided by several
combining factors such as:
1. The current draw imposed by the station
2. The line voltage transmitted from the DOU
3. How many other stations are running simultaneously from the same CSG
4. The losses due to cable resistance (which clearly increase for running stations located at
greater distances from the DOU)
Stations that are located at long distances down the line will obviously be more affected by line
resistance than those that are located closer to the DOU.
A decoder should be located as close to its station solenoid as possible, ideally within 50 metres (55
yards).
For example, a Green has a single valve-in-head station located at each of its four corners. In this case,
one 4-way decoder controls all four stations as each station is within 50 metres. This saves on decoder
costs and connections.
Cable ring-main
Never create a “ring-main” in an attempt to reduce CSG volt drop problems, or to save cable size costs,
etc.
Surge Protectors
Surge Protectors may be attached at various intervals along the CSG cables in areas of high lightning
risk. They will help to protect the system from secondary surges but remember that surge protection
devices can fail in the event of an excessively heavy surge.
Solenoids
A good quality solenoid has a holding current of about 0.2A at 60Hz (Add 16% for 50Hz rating, 0.232A).
A much less efficient coil may require a current in excess of 0.5A at 24Vac. Power consumption details
can usually be found on the coil body.
Most solenoids are nominally rated at 24Vac but have a specified operating range of 19Vac to 30Vac
(In practice they typically work quite reliably down to about 17Vac).
The use of special “low current” solenoids appears to be an attractive proposition, because either
more stations can be run simultaneously, or a station canbe made up of a number of these low current
devices. However, these devices cannot be used in conjunction with DOU’s.

Connecting the control cables to the DOU terminals
Never fold (solid) wires inside the DOU, or any other enclosure.
Most systems use control cables with solid copper wires which are more sensitive to breaks. Control
cables entering the DOU must be terminated using the “Pig tail” method, shown in figure 1 and not
the folded method shown in figure 2.
The shape of the “Pig tails” requires a longer length of wire which is more practical during fault finding
processes, especially when the technician wants to re-arrange wires.
The radius of the “pig tail” is made slightly larger than required. This helps to “push” the plug into the
terminal block on the power board.
Figure 1
Figure 2
By using the “Pig Tail” method, it is much easier to take current readings using a clamp
meter without disturbing the wiring.

Rain switch and alarms
See Error! Reference source not found. section on page 18Error! Bookmark not defined. for the
location of connector J5. The inputs are internally connected to a 12Vac power source.
NEVER apply an external voltage source to any terminal of J5. Do not connect
inputs from different controllers together, observe strict isolation.
Special note for users of multiple DOU systems:
1.
NEVER make any interconnections between the Rain Switch (RSW) and alarm
inputs of different DOU’s
2.
If the Rain switch option is enabled, then GTI expects a rain switch to be
connected to each DOU You may opt to short the rain switch terminals in all
but one DOU
Rain switch input
The RSW input is closed in dry weather conditions. Wiring is not required unless the RSW option is
enabled in GTI (See the Rain switch input topic). A “Too wet” condition is signalled when one of the
rain switches opens.

Output voltage selection
Each electrical zone (CSG) has a High/Low (H/L) switch, see The Power Board topic. Only use the 40Vac
(H) voltage setting in conjunction with Trident and Gemini decoders. These decoders regulate their
outputs, therefore extending the life expectancy of the solenoids and reducing the power
requirements (Read volt drop over the CSG cable).
Set the outputs to 40Vac (H), whenever possible, for best performance of the Gemini and
Trident systems.
