4.
At the mounting location for the GSM, remove 13 cm (5 in.) of the outer jacket.
5.
Remove 6 mm (1/4 in.) of insulation from the end of each wire.
6.
Remove and retain the 4 screws from the GSM.
7.
Remove the compression nut from the cable gland fitting and pass the cable through the nut
and into the enclosure so that the two leads plus 1 cm (0.4 in.) of outer jacket are inside the
GSM.
and into the enclosure so that the two leads plus 1 cm (0.4 in.) of outer jacket are inside the
GSM.
8.
Route the two leads along the inside edge of the GSM. Fold the two leads back so the battery
or solar capacitor holds them toward the side of the enclosure and away from the proximity
sensor (see
or solar capacitor holds them toward the side of the enclosure and away from the proximity
sensor (see
).
9.
Connect the two leads to the auxiliary input connector on the GSM.
10. Ensure the wire leads are properly dressed (away from the proximity sensor) and cannot be
pinched by the enclosure cover and reinstall the 4 screws.
Selecting the GSM battery type
For GSMs using D-cell batteries, set the shunt on T8 for the specific type and voltage of the
battery being used (see
battery being used (see
). The solar powered GSM does not include the T8 header.
•
for a 1.5 V alkaline battery place the shunt on T8 pins 1 and 2
•
for a 3.6 V lithium battery place the shunt on T8 pins 2 and 3
Replacing the GSM battery
The GSM will transmit a low battery notification when the battery is down to 10% capacity. The
GSM can usually continue to operate for over a month after the low battery notification. However,
other factors such as temperature also affect the battery life. Senstar recommends that the battery
be replaced within one week of the low battery notification (see

Note
Install the SK9 enclosure 15 cm (6 in.) above the cable to provide drip
loops.

Note
If there is a chance that the GSM will be relocated to another position on the
gate at a later time, create a service loop with sufficient cable near the
GSM.

CAUTION
The GSM requires that all 4 screws (# 6 X 32 X 3/8 in.) be installed and
securely tightened to prevent water ingress into the device. If a screw is
lost, it must be replaced.

Note
The lithium type D-cell battery should be used at sites which experience
periods of extremely cold (or hot) temperatures. The lithium type battery will
provide more than double the operational lifetime of the alkaline type
battery in normal use.

CAUTION
If the GSM includes an auxiliary device connection, use care when
removing the cover from the GSM to ensure that no pulling force is applied
to the auxiliary input connector (13 cm lead).
