Page 4 CONNECTING THE TELEPHONE LINE
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 TELEPHONE LINE Page 5
Connecting the GSM satellite
Connect the RJ45 connector of the GSM satellite to the RJ45 connector
of the Helpy Controller by means of the supplied cable.
PSTN line or universal GSM gateway
Insert the optional PSTN-line board in the dedicated connectors (A in the
picture at page 2)
Connect the ground terminal (indicated by
), to a ground socket in
order to increase the telephone line protection.
Connect the PSTN line or the universal GSM gateway to terminal LTI.
Page 6 CONNECTING THE SPEAKER UNITS
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).
Connect the speaker units (beware of terminal polarity):

The DIP switch allows to assign an ID (01~16) to each 2W speaker unit
connected to the bus.
Note: it is possible to verify the operating devices over the bus
through the code 63.

CONNECTING THE EMERGENCY CALL BUTTONS Page 9
CONNECTING THE EMERGENCY
CALL BUTTONS
It is possible to connect external pushbuttons (voltage free contact pushbuttons
or powered pushbuttons) to 2W speaker units without built-in pushbutton.
Connect, following one of the diagrams shown below, the external
pushbutton to the 2W speaker unit.

CONNECTING THE INDICATOR
LIGHTS
The GIVEN ALARM INDICATOR LIGHT (yellow) switches on after pressing
the emergency button to indicate the beginning of the alarm procedure. The
RECEIVED ALARM INDICATOR LIGHT (green) switches on when the
alarm call is answered.
Some 2W speaker unit models come with built-in indicator lights. It is also
possible to connect external indicator lights.
Connect, following one of the diagrams shown below, the external
indicator lights to the 2W speaker unit.

CONNECTING THE LOCAL TELEPHONE
Connect the local telephone (for programming and managing the
device) to TEL and – terminals (irrespective of the polarity).
CONNECTING THE FILTER INPUT
Connect the filter contact as per one of the modes shown in the table:

Note: if a 2W speaker unit is installed in the cabin, it is possible to
use the terminal block’s filter input of the speaker unit (AUX
and – terminal blocks).
CONNECTING THE AUXILIARY INPUT
2W speaker units come with an AUX input (configurable as auxiliary input,
alarm input or filter input).
Connect the external contact to AUX and – terminals.
Note: the AUX input can be configured either as normally open or
closed.
