CONNECTING THE TELEPHONE LINE The alarm system is ready for connection over the GSM line by the proprietary GSM Satellite. It allows the connection of a PSTN line or an universal GSM gateway with the optional PSTN-line board. GSM Satellite Installing the antenna and inserting the GSM SIM card in the GSM satellite Before proceeding, make sure the device is off and use all due precaution to avoid electrostatic discharge. Remove the GSM satellite cover. Screw the antenna in the appropriate connector (take care to only rotate the metal ferrule to fix the antenna; do not rotate the antenna on itself). 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. Close the GSM satellite cover. ATTENTION A GSM SIM card is required. Do not use 3G/UMTS or 4G/LTE SIM cards. ATTENTION It is not required to remove the PIN code prior to the use of the Helpy Controller. The PIN code can be entered, if necessary, by setting parameter 282. ATTENTION In order to avoid damage, never power up the device without having first installed the antenna.

CONNECTING THE SPEAKER UNITS It is possible to connect to the Helpy Controller up to 16 independent 2W speaker units by means of the 2-wire bus (4 units with direct power supply from the bus and 12 with separate power supply). Note: a 2W speaker unit allows to realize an independent voice point with dedicated pushbutton and indicator lights. Note: a passive speaker unit can be connected to each 2W speaker unit and allows to double it. The passive speaker unit can be installed at max. 6 m distance from 2W speaker unit by using a shielded cable. Each 2W speaker unit connected over the bus must have a unique ID. Speaker units with the same ID cannot have access to the bus and are not working. Note: the identifier 01 must be assigned to the cabin speaker unit. Assign, using the DIP switch, an ID to each 2W speaker unit (see next paragraph).
