1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
G5 is a communication device that combines the abilities of power system monitoring with useful extras,
such as monitoring of volt-free contacts for external devices, environmental sensing, and voltage and
current measurements. G5 can use cellular communication (SMS), email, and voltage-free output contacts
to inform the end user of alarm conditions.
The entire system is accessed through a built-in HTML interface, and can be accessed remotely through a
web browser. The interface is intuitive and simple, and configuration is straightforward.
G5 enables the user to remotely monitor all current Gamatronic products. G5 also provides specialized
power-oriented features, including the monitoring kWh pulse meters and the sending of reports to the end
user.
1.1.1 I/O
• Input volt-free contacts: up to 13, out of which 5 can be used for KWH pulse metering and
one for flood detection.
• Output volt-free contacts: 5, programmable, changeover.
• Temperature sensors: up to 3 (optional).
• Humidity sensor: 1 (optional).
• Analog inputs: 4, can be used for generic sensors or voltage/current measurements (optional
isolated transducers for high voltages are available).
• KWH pulse metering: up to 5.
• Serial RS232 port: for UPS or dc power system monitoring.
1.2 Features
• Up to 20 recipients for email and SMS notifications.

1.5.2 I/O connections on rear panel

See section 5.1.1 on page 14 for a description of the I/O connections on the G5’s rear panel.
1.5.3 Internal connections

See section 5.1.2 on page 14 for a description of the G5’s internal connections.
1.5.4 Restore factory settings

If desired, you can clear G5’s entire current configuration at any time and return the settings to the factory
default values. To do this:
• Press and hold the Act button on the front panel for at least 20 seconds, until all three status
LEDs are on. Then release the button. The unit will restart with factory settings.
• This procedure also returns the system user name and password to their original default values
of “admin” and “admin”.
1.5.5 Booting into bootloader mode

Bootloader mode allows you to perform system software upgrades and also to upload a previously saved
configuration.
In case you need to use the bootloader mode, use the “Switch to bootloader” button in the Configuration
screen on the web interface (Figure 2).
Figure 2: Bootloader mode button

Another method for entering bootloader mode is to press and hold the Act button on the front panel, and
then press the Reset button right next to it, or just plug the power in while holding the Act button.
In bootloader mode G5 receives its IP address from DHCP server. If no address is received, G5 uses the
default IP address: 192.168.0.198.
When G5 is in bootloader mode and has received an IP address from DHCP, the green status LED (see
Figure 1) blinks slowly. If the default IP address is being used (after a timeout), the yellow status LED will
also be blinking. During file upload the LEDs will also blink; the rate at which they will blink depends on the
file type.
Note: if you boot the device to bootloader mode (normally for performing updates or restoring user
settings), but don't log into the web interface of the device for 5 minutes, the device automatically restarts in
normal operation mode.
If the G5 unit always boots in to the bootloader, this means that the main software is corrupt. You will need
to update the software file again.
4 G5 User Guide
2. INSTALLATION
The initial configuration of the device is fully performed through the web interface, and therefore the
installation begins with connecting it to the local network.
2.1 Physical setup

1. If you plan to use any of the I/O connectors, you must prepare all the necessary wires and sensors in
advance, and make sure they can reach the device. Connect all wires to the appropriate connectors,
according to the information in the relevant sections of this user guide. (See chapter 5 for information
on the physical connections.) After making the connections, close the G5’s top cover.
2. The G5 can be secured in a 19" rack using the provided accessories. In any case, the G5 unit must
remain fully accessible, front and rear.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ45 connector marked LAN on the front panel.
4. Connect input power to the plug on the rear of the unit.
2.2 Access the web interface setup

1. When switched on for the first time, the device attempts to acquire an IP address automatically from
DHCP on the network. In the case that there is no DHCP server available in the network – for
example, when you are connecting the G5 directly to a computer – or in any other case of failure to
set the IP address automatically, the device falls back to the default address of 192.168.0.198, subnet
class C. This process can take up to one minute.
2. When configuring the G5 through a direct connection to a computer, the “network segment” (the first 3
nodes) of your computer’s IP address must match the network segment of G4’s default IP address.
So, change your computer's IP address to 192.168.0.100 and subnet mask to “255.255.255.0”.
Remember to return your computer to its original IP settings when you're done, otherwise this may
cause issues on your LAN.
3. You can find the G5 on computer network by running the Discover.NET software, which is compatible
with Windows XP and later Windows releases. Discover.NET can be downloaded from
http://www.gamatronic.com/g5.html. The software is very easy to use, and it lists all Gamatronic
devices in the current subnet.
4. Type the device's IP address in to web browser's address bar and press enter. You should see the
main web interface screen. This is the place to begin the configuration.
Figure 3: The main web interface screen

See chapter 6 for further details on the software configuration process.
G5 User Guide 5
3. USER INTERFACE
The User Interface (UI) is built for quick and intuitive access. The usual page structure is:
Figure 4: Layout of the user interface screen

1. Company logo, name, and the current firmware version, required for support purposes.
2. UPS, volt-free contacts, environment, and other system indicators showing current status.
3. Language selector, functional on all pages. Language setting is saved with a "cookie" in your browser.
4. Navigation tree lets you efficiently switch between various informational and configuration pages.
Items in navigation tree can vary depending on system configuration.
5. All data related to the current informational or configuration page is shown in the middle of the screen.
6. System-wide conditions shown in the status bar can include cellular modem alarms, page refresh info
and so on.
3.1 Dynamic updates

The web pages are dynamically updated every 3 seconds. This auto-refresh process stops after 5 minutes
so as not to create unnecessary network traffic, and a message will be shown in status bar (item 6 in Figure
3). When the page has stopped refreshing data, it will still display the last information received on the
screen. Keep in mind that that this information may already be irrelevant.
To restore the dynamically updated connection, just refresh the page in your browser.
6 G5 User Guide
3.2 Main screen

After typing in the unit's IP address in the web browser, you will see the main screen that shows general
system condition and basic information about all features that have been enabled.
Figure 5: The main web interface screen
G5 User Guide 7
3.2.1 UPS / Power System

To monitor a UPS or other power system, a serial connection to the device in question must be established.
This is done by connecting the device to be monitored to the serial connector on the G5’s rear panel, and
configuring the connection in G5, using the “Serial” option in the “Configuration” menu.
When UPS monitoring is thusly enabled, the “UPS” menu option displays the UPS’s status and general
information. The “Measurements” and “Commands” options display additional information, and enable the
user to send commands to the unit, to switch it on or off, or to run a test, and so on.
Be aware that the information displayed and the commands supported depend on the specific UPS or
power system model. Not all UPSs support every possible command.

3.2.2 I/O
If input, output, or environment measurements have been enabled this screen will show you their general
status. For more detailed information, you can click on the relevant submenu.
Figure 9: The I/O status screen
3.2.3 Log
The log menu shows you the total amount of events saved in the log, and will offer to either download the
log to your computer (as a csv file) or clear it. Some systems, like Power+ modular UPS units, have their
own internal log, and in such cases the log screen will enable you download that internal log as well.
3.2.4 Configuration
The configuration menu functions are described in detail in chapter 6.
10 G5 User Guide
4. ADDITIONAL FEATURES
4.1 Cellular modem
The presence of a cellular modem is an optional features of G5. With a cellular modem, G5 can send
notifications of alarm conditions to your mobile telephone, using SMS. You can also use SMS to query G5,
which will send you responses with real-time system data.
All cellular data requests are read-only.

alarms List of alarms that are currently active.
data Real-time data from external power device.
vfc Current condition of volt-free contacts.
env Measurements from environmental sensors and inputs.
kwh Actual kilowatt-hour counter values.
4.2 Automated shutdown of computers

If a UPS is being monitored by G5, and that UPS is providing power to computers, you can instruct G5 to
shut down any of those computers in an orderly fashion in the event of a prolonged ac input failure, before
the UPS’s battery is exhausted. To achieve that you must install Shutdown Agent software on the
computers to be shut down. The Shutdown Agent can be downloaded through a link on the remote
shutdown configuration webpage (see section 6.7), or can be obtained from your G5 dealer. Use the same
configuration webpage to configure remote shutdowns.
Remote computer shutdown can also be achieved through special dedicated software installed on one of
the servers. Such software monitors the UPS through SNMP, and can be configured to send appropriate
shutdown signals to specific servers in response to a specific alarm condition. Such software may provide
more shutdown options.
4.3 The bootloader

Bootloader is a separate software program that runs before the main program is loaded. It lets the user
upgrade the main software version when fixes or new features are released. Bootloader mode is also used
to restore a previously saved configuration. In normal conditions, the system boots directly in to the main
program, so the user will not see the bootloader in action unless it is run manually.
There are two ways to put G5 into bootloader mode:
1. Reset (or power on) the device while pressing the "Act" button; or
2. Press the bootloader button in the web interface "Configuration" webpage (see Figure 2).
In both cases, the unit will switch on in bootloader mode, and will still be discoverable with Discover.NET
software. It will try to receive DHCP address automatically first. Failing this, it will use the default address
“192.168.0.198” (class C).
After 5 minutes in bootloader mode without user activity , bootloader will exit (try to run the main program).
If the main program has not been flashed properly, it will reboot again in the bootloader mode, to let you try
to upload the new firmware again. If you are having trouble with a system upgrade, please contact support.
G5 User Guide 11
4.3.1 Using bootloader mode

Using a web browser, put the G5 in bootloader mode by pressing the “Switch to bootloader” button in the
"Configuration" webpage (see Figure 2). Then follow the simple screen prompts to perform the required
function.
Figure 10: The bootloader login screen

User name and password will match the ones set up in the main program. Default username and password
are "admin" and “admin”, and are case sensitive.
The next page will offer you to upload a file. After choosing a file and pressing "Upload" let the upload
finish, do not navigate away or refresh the page until you're informed that the upload is complete.
Figure 11: Using the bootloader to update a file
The bootloader can work with three file types. The valid file extensions are:
• .gam – Web UI software update files
• .bin – Firmware update files
• .mem – System settings files that were previously saved through the by using the
“Download” button on the Configuration main screen
12 G5 User Guide
4.4 Upgrades
You will not have to upgrade the software unless serious issues are reported and fixed. Your distributor will
contact you if a critical update is required. Never try to upload any *.gam or *.bin files without being
instructed to do so by an authorized distributor or the manufacturer.
Usually, the web user interface file version must exactly match the specific firmware file version, and
therefore you will be asked to upload both .bin and .gam files for an upgrade. Do not change the names of
the files you receive for upgrade. The bootloader will only accept English letters and numbers in the
uploaded file name. The only valid file extensions are “.gam”, “.bin”, and “.mem”.
To perform an upgrade, just choose the relevant file (normally the .bin file goes first) in the upload page and
press the "Upload" button. After you are informed that the upload is finished, choose to upload another file
if required. After all files have been uploaded, press the "Reset" button to return to normal operation.
4.5 Saving system settings

You can save the current system configuration values from the "Configuration" web page by selecting the
“Download configuration” button. The configuration will be downloaded with the name “config.mem” to the
location of your choosing.
You can rename the file if you like, but use only Latin (English) letters and numbers in the file name, and do
not change the .mem extension, otherwise you may have issues uploading it in the boot loader on a later
stage.
When you need to restore the configuration, simply choose the file through the bootloader upload page and
press the "Upload" button. After you are informed that the upload is finished, press the "Reset" button to
return to normal operation.

5. I/O
The device includes 13 digital, 4 analog, and 4 sensor inputs. It also provides 5 digital outputs. Some of the
digital inputs are dual function: inputs 1 to 5 can also act as kWh counters by appropriate configuration in
the web interface, and input 13 can act as a flood detector since it has a special detection circuit. A serial
connection also exists, for monitoring an external UPS or other power system.
5.1 Physical connections

CONNECTION DESCRIPTION
Digital inputs with two possible states: “closed” or “open”. The normal state of
each contact (N.C. or N.O.) is defined by the user. The user can connect an
external circuit to these contacts. A change in state of the contacts (the opening
or closing of the external circuit) can be used to trigger an action by G5, such as
VFC/kWh
sending an alarm notification, or triggering an output voltage-free connection.
IN1 to IN5
Alternatively, any of these contacts can be defined to accept input from a kWh
pulse meter. G5 counts the pulses and converts that information into a ”kWh
used” reading. Refer to section 6.13.
VFC
Same as VFC IN1 to IN5 above, but no ability to read a kWh pulse meter.
IN6 to IN12
Same as VFC IN6 to IN12 above.
VFC IN13
With a special optional sensor, VFC IN13 can also monitor for a flood condition.
Analog inputs that can measure 0 to 5 volts dc. These inputs are not isolated.
ANALOG Optional transducers and converters are available to adopt high voltages to these
IN1 to IN4 levels, and for isolation. Calibration can be performed using the “Configuration”
menu functions.
Digital volt-free outputs that can be wired to provide both NC and NO contacts
VFC with a common center pin. These contacts are programmable using the
OUT1 to OUT5 “Configuration” menu functions. These contacts are operated by changeover
relays, and are isolated for the allowed voltage range.
Can Bus Currently not in use
• Make sure that no voltage is applied to digital inputs!

• Digital outputs are rated 30 Vdc / 1 A
• Analog inputs are not isolated from internal circuits
5.1.3 Optional devices

There are several optional external devices that let you make various types of measurements.
1. Temperature sensors (up to 3 per unit) – one is supplied with the device.
2. Humidity sensor (one per unit).
3. Flood sensor (one per unit).
4. Door/window security sensor, contact closure alarm.
5. Smoke sensor, contact closure alarm.
6. Four-channel isolating voltage transducer for ac and dc voltage measurements.
7. Isolating step-down transformer/rectifier for ac voltage measurements.
8. Current transformer for various current values.
16 G5 User Guide
5.1.4 4-channel isolating voltage transducer
This extension converts up to four high voltages (up to 424 Vac and up to 600 Vdc) to a more conveniently
measured range of 0 to 5 volts. The transducer can be connected directly to G5’s analog inputs on one
side, and to high voltages on the other. Measurements taken can later be calibrated through G5’s
configuration function.
The transducer requires 12 Vdc for operation. The high voltage inputs are isolated from each other and
from the low voltage side.

6. CONFIGURATION
All system configurations are performed under the configuration menu. Use this menu to update basic
system settings like identification names, and to quickly enable or disable system functions without
removing the functions from the current configuration.
The Identification information entered on this screen (Unit name, Site, Manager) appears on the main
screen upon entry into the system. This is to enable you to distinguish between units in the event that you
are operating multiple G5 units.
Figure 15: Configuration menu expanded

There are also three buttons near the top of the screen:
• DOWNLOAD CONFIGURATION: downloads to your computer a configuration file that can be kept for future
uploading through the bootloader to restore system configuration to the same state. The restore works
only if the system is of the same software version as was in effect at the time the configuration backup
file was created (unless otherwise mentioned in the documentation for the new software release).
• RESTORE TO FACTORY DEFAULTS: returns G5’s configuration to default factory settings excluding
password. To restore the factory default user name and password (admin/admin) see section 1.5.4.
• SWITCH TO BOOTLOADER: causes G5 to reboot in bootloader mode. You must refresh the page manually
to see the bootloader web interface. It is possible that when switching in to the bootloader mode the
device will receive a different IP address. This happens if, for instance, the device is set up to use
constant IP address, or just by chance, since the bootloader will always try to get an address from
DHCP first, and failing this, switches to the default address 192.168.0.198 class C.
G5 User Guide 19
6.1 Network configuration

Use the “Network” configuration function to specify the details of your connection to the local Ethernet
network.
Under "Static IP address" specify the connection details to be used by G5 when no DHCP address is
available, or when you specify that the static address is to be used at all times.
Under "Actual IP address" select the desired mode of operation, which can be one of the following:
• Static IP
• DHCP, fallback to static IP
• Device IP, fallback to DHCP
• Device IP, fallback to static IP.
In the operation modes listed above:
• Static IP is the IP address defined under "Static IP address",
• DHCP is the IP address received from DHCP server automatically, and
• Device IP is the IP address received from the controller of connected power system (if supported
by protocol), such as the Power+ UPS or the 1UDC+ Power System.

6.2 Discovery configuration

When you have large number of G5 units, you can use G5’s “Discovery configuration” option to define one
or more custom character strings to which this particular G5 unit will reply, apart from the default reply. In
this way you can enter certain string in your site’s network software to show only the units with the same
string for discover signal reply. Contact Gamatronic’s technical support team if you would like to know more
about network discovery options.
Figure 17: The discovery configuration screen
G5 User Guide 21
6.3 Date/Time configuration

Use the “Date/Time” menu option to set G5’s internal calendar and clock.
Enter the current time and date, or click on "Get local time" button to update all fields with the current local
time from your PC. The update does not take effect until the “Apply” button is selected.
The date and time is used to timestamp entries in the event log.
If you choose to receive network time updates, the device will try to receive NTP time from the server
(defined in the Network configuration) every three hours. Pay careful attention to the time zone and DST
settings when using network time, since these parameters will not be updated automatically.
"Set current time from SNTP server" will simply try to access the server immediately and return a reply.
This will also instantly update system time upon successful reply.
Figure 18: Setting the G5’s internal clock with the current date and time
22 G5 User Guide
6.4 Configure a serial connection

The “Serial” function is used to describe G5’s communication link with a UPS or other power system.
Select the protocol and additional serial communication settings. Use the G5 compatibility table (Table 12)
to find out what protocol is supported by your device.
If you are not sure of the particulars of the connection, use the "Detect" button, which will “talk to” the power
system to determine what protocol it supports. The speed of the power system’s response to the Detect
function can vary. Watch the screen for messages from the auto-detection process. If the Detect function
succeeds, all of the fields in the screen are automatically updated with required values – there is no need to
click "Apply" after detection, detected values (or "Disabled" if nothing was detected) will be saved
automatically.

6.8 Define a username and password

Access to the G5 system can be password protected. Use this screen to define or update a username or to
change a username’s password.
Only one username-and-password combination exists at any given time.
The factory default values for the username and password are “admin” and “admin”.
Selecting the checkbox labeled “Secure web login with password” makes entry of the correct username and
password mandatory for accessing the G5. Deselecting this checkbox makes entry of a username and
password optional. This checkbox is selected by default.
Figure 25: Define or update the username and password for access to G5
6.8.1 Restoring the factory default username and password

• The factory default values for the system user name and password are “admin” and “admin”.
• On the initial screen of the “Configuration” function (Figure 26), there is a button labeled “Restore to
factory defaults”. Using this button does NOT restore the username and password to the factory
default values.

G5 User Guide 29
6.10 When to send SMS messages

The “Cellular” configuration option is used to control when SMS messages shall be sent.
Say we have one or more notification targets (see section 6.9) for which an email address and a telephone
number have been defined to G5. You can use the “Cellular” screen to limit the sending of SMS messages
to the targets to times when G5 has no Ethernet access – that is, when email is not available.
You can also use this function to restrict the sending of SMS messages to alarms of certain priority. You
can limit SMS messages to “Critical” messages, or to both “Warning” and “Critical” events – that is,
“Informational” messages shall not be sent by SMS. (The severity level of individual events can be modified
through the “Event” configuration option.)
This feature can be useful in environments where it is desirable to keep SMS messages to a minimum – for
example, for cost reasons or due to telephone network capacity limitations.
If your G5 includes a cellular modem, the modem’s technical details are also displayed on this screen.
Figure 28: Limit the sending of SMS messages
30 G5 User Guide
6.11 Define event properties

The “Events” configuration option is used to determine the conditions that will be reported to the user and
logged to the event log. The conditions include events related to the status of the UPS or other power
system, the status of the power system’s serial link with G5, the status of the G5’s input and output voltage-
free contacts, and more.
The events screen includes multiple pages of events. The exact number of events will vary, depending on
the specific UPS or other power system being monitored and on the G5 functions currently enabled. Each
individual event can be enabled or disabled. A disabled event is not reported to the user and is not logged
to the event log.
Figure 29: The Events screen
6.11.1 Event severity

Each event has a default status that can be changed by the user. The status can be:
• Informational – Lowest severity. An informational message.
• Warning – Next-highest severity. Indicates a potential problem.
• Critical – Highest message severity. Warns of a more serious problem.
You can use the “Cellular” configuration option (section 6.10) to limit the messages sent by SMS to Critical
messages only or to both Warning and Critical messages.
6.11.2 Message Group

In the “Group” column of the Events screen you assign an event to a group. The group name is used by G5
to handle related messages together. In the “Recipients” screen (see section 6.9) you indicate which
message group or groups you want each recipient to receive.
The system default values include four message groups: Power, Volt-free contacts, Environment, and
System, plus four generic group names (Group #5 through Group #8). You can use the “Groups” screen
(section 6.12) to define additional message groups and to change the name of an existing message group.
G5 User Guide 31
6.12 Define message group names

6.13 Define input voltage-free contacts

The “VFC / kWh input” configuration option lets you change the name of the input voltage-free contacts
(input VFCs) to something more meaningful than the default value. For example, “Loading dock gate 1” or
“Lobby motion detector”. The names must be entered using English characters.
The “normal” state of each contact can be defined as either open or closed. Any contact that is not used
and has nothing connected to it should be defined as “normally open” to avoid the generation of false alarm
messages.
• Kilowatt/Hour meters can be connected to input VFCs 1 through 5, in which case the “kWh Meter”
checkbox must be selected for that contact.
• Input VFC 13 can be used either with a flood detector, or as regular input VFC.
