General GMAC-5 is a communication device for power system monitoring. GMAC-5 is accessed through a built-in web interface, and can be accessed remotely through a web browser. The interface is intuitive and simple, and configuration is straightforward. GMAC-5 enables the user to remotely monitor all current Gamatronic products.
12 Vdc power adaptor. (for external model) • RS232 crossover cable (DB9 to DB9) for connecting to external device like a UPS. (for external model) • Ethernet crossover cable for direct GMAC-5-to-computer connection during configuration. • Quick start guide. G5 User Guide...
1.5.2 Restore GMAC-5 factory settings If desired, you can clear GMAC-5’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 •...
DHCP on the network. In the case that there is no DHCP server available in the network – for example, when you are connecting GMAC-5 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.
AMATRONIC LECTRONIC NDUSTRIES SER INTERFACE The User Interface (UI) is built for quick and intuitive access. The usual page structure is: Figure 3: Layout of the user interface screen Company logo, name, and the current firmware version, required for support purposes. UPS, volt-free contacts, environment, and other system indicators showing current status.
AMATRONIC LECTRONIC NDUSTRIES 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 4: The main web interface screen G5 User Guide...
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 GMAC-5’s rear panel, and configuring the connection in GMAC-5, using the “Serial” option in the “Configuration” menu.
AMATRONIC LECTRONIC NDUSTRIES Figure 6: UPS actual values Figure 7: Issuing commands to a UPS or other power system 3.2.2 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.
If a UPS is being monitored by GMAC-5, and that UPS is providing power to computers, you can instruct GMAC-5 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.
NDUSTRIES 4.2.1 Using bootloader mode Using a web browser, put the GMAC-5 in bootloader mode by pressing the “Switch to bootloader” button in the "Configuration" webpage (see Figure 8). Then follow the simple screen prompts to perform the required function.
AMATRONIC LECTRONIC NDUSTRIES 4.2.2 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 unless instructed to do so by an authorized distributor or the manufacturer.
It is possible that when switching to bootloader mode the device will receive a different IP address. In bootloader mode GMAC-5 takes its IP address as per the user’s instruction in the “Actual IP address” field in the “Configuration > Network” screen (see section 5.1 “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 GMAC-5 when no DHCP address is available, or when you specify that the static address is to be used at all times.
"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 13: Setting the GMAC-5’s internal clock with the current date and time G5 User Guide...
NDUSTRIES Configure a serial connection The “Serial” function is used to describe GMAC-5’s communication link with a UPS or other power system. Select the protocol and additional serial communication settings. Use the GMAC-5 compatibility table (Table 6) to find out what protocol is supported by your device.
NDUSTRIES Defining an SNMP connection Use the “SNMP” menu option to define the GMAC-5’s relationship with your site’s SNMP system. GMAC-5 supports SNMPv2c and SNMPv3. Consult your IT manager to determine which version of SNMP is implemented at your site.
Heartbeat time Interval at which “keep alive” messages will be sent to the SNMP manager. You can allow GMAC-5 to accept SNMP requests from any host, or in the “Add SNMP SNMP Managers manager” field, specify the IP address(es) of authorized requestors.
The values for items 1 through 5 must be determined in coordination with your site’s email administrator. Note that only basic authentication is supported (username/password). GMAC-5 does not support Internet-based email servers such as Google’s Gmail or Microsoft’s Hotmail. G5 User Guide...
AMATRONIC LECTRONIC NDUSTRIES Define a shutdown target Use this screen to define a network-connected computer that is to be automatically shut down under certain conditions. In order for the shutdown to take place, the Shutdown Agent must be installed on the target computer. The Shutdown Agent can be downloaded from the link on this screen, or can be obtained from your dealer.
LECTRONIC NDUSTRIES Define a username and password Access to the GMAC-5 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.
AMATRONIC LECTRONIC NDUSTRIES Define a target for alarm notifications Use the “Recipients” screen to define email targets (destinations) for alarm notifications. Enter the target email address and/or telephone number. Select one or more message groups from which the target is to receive notifications. If any of the alarm conditions defined in the selected group occurs, a message indicating the specific alarm condition will be sent to the target.
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 GMAC-5, the status of the GMAC-5’s input and output voltage-free contacts, and more.
AMATRONIC LECTRONIC NDUSTRIES 5.10 Define message group names The “Groups” configuration function enables you to change the names of message groups. The group names must be entered using English characters only. Figure 24: The Group screen, for defining message group names GMAC 5 User Guide...
Type and amount of events in the device depends on the product it is monitoring, and there are also some general alarms (related to I/O and the system itself) that are always available. Product compatibility table Table 6: GMAC-5 compatibility table AMATRONIC RODUCT...

GMAC-5 requires periodic preventive maintenance inspections. At the least, these inspections should include a visual inspection of the GMAC-5 and the tightening of any screws that have over time become loosened.
