GC-36
Congratulations on your purchase of the NIBBLE GC-36 GSM Communicator module
The NIBBLE GC-36 module was developed taking into account security and remote maintenance
needs. Therefore, the module can operate completely by itself providing remote maintenance functions,
automatic output actuation (actuation on incoming call and on input changes) and automatic input alerts
(SMS and audio).
The module allows for custom SMS and audio messages for each input, tamper and power supply
status changes.
It is also possible to associate with each input state actuations on the outputs to provide basic
functions like turning on a water pump when flooding is detected or activating a siren when an intrusion
is detected.
It is also available the functionality to actuate on the outputs through phone calls allowing for an
easy and costless way to activate outputs.
This guides briefly introduces you to the installation and configuration of the system, and the
reading of the user manual is recommended. The manual can be found online at
http://www.nibble.pt/product/viewp/gc as well as the application GC Configurator.

Make sure the S M card does not have a P N lock.

Bidirectional nputs/Outputs
The module provides 6 bidirectional input/output terminals, accessible at terminals IO1 to IO6.
Each IO terminal is accompanied by a ground terminal to facilitate the connections and allows the
application of voltage levels from 0V to 40V.
nputs
The inputs are activated with a negative signal, that is, they are
activated when a ground signal is applied in terminal IO. To operate the
inputs, a dry contact must be used with one of the contacts connected to
the adjacent ground terminal. No voltage should be applied to the inputs.
Outputs
The outputs function as an open collector. When activated they
close the circuit to the ground and when deactivated they open the
circuit. Each output allows up to 500mA of maximum current and 40V of
voltage.

The figure shows a navigation diagram of the menu.
From the lock screen, the user can:
•Arm the system by pressing the button with the lock symbol;
•Disarm the system by entering the disarm code (factory default 1234);
•Enter the configuration and diagnostic menus by pressing the OK button and entering the
access code level 3 (factory default 123456);
•Check the current state of the system (power and battery status, system armed or disarmed
and if you are making a call).
With level 3 access, the user has may enter the configuration and diagnostics menus.
In these menus the user can use the up and down arrows on the keypad and press the OK key to
enter or directly press the number corresponding to the menu (e.g. pressing digit 2 and then digit 3 goes
directly to the submenu GSM Diagnostic).
Diagnostic
After installation, the correct functioning of the module and the state of the connections must
be checked.
Local user interface
Through the local interface, you can view the status of the module (see Installation Manual):
•GSM network status;
•Card balance on SIM card (country restriction);
•Status of inputs and outputs;
•Outputs actuations.
The installer should check the correct functioning of the module, verifying if it was able to
register in the network. The network registration is confirmed by checking for GSM signal.
SMS
With an SMS command, you can also view details about the status of the module:
SMS command
123456,ST
Response SMS Recommended/Typical
SIM card balance Value in Euros (country restriction; if pre-paid
card, value is 0€).
GSM signal quality Good or Very Good.
IMEI 15 digits.
Power supply status On.
Battery status Varies with battery charge.
The first 6 digits in the SMS command are the level 3 access code.
