GBB100 output relays. Appropriate safety precautions must always be taken when operating or maintaining equipment connected to the GBB100. Geist Manufacturing assumes no responsibility or liability for any injury or damage to any persons or property resulting from improper operation or maintenance of a device connected to the GBB100.
“High-Risk Applications”), including but not limited to the operation of nuclear facilities, mass transit systems, aircraft navigation or aircraft communication systems, air traffic control, weapon systems and direct life support machines. Geist expressly disclaims any express or implied warranty or condition of fitness for High- Risk Applications.
Installation Guidelines If the GBB100 is installed in a cabinet the ambient temperature of the rack should be no greater than 45C. Install the GBB100 such that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of equipment is not compromised. ...

Network Overview This product comes preconfigured with a default IP address set. Simply connect to the Environmental Monitoring Unit and access the web page with your browser. Default IP Address GBB100 units have a default IP address for initial setup and access to the unit if the assigned address is lost or forgotten.
Figure 2: Network settings for initial setup. MacOS X Leopard Open System Preferences via the Dock or the Apple menu. Select “Network” under “Internet & Network.” Select “Ethernet” from the list on the left side of the window and enter these settings on the right side of the window: Configure: Manually...
Web Interface Overview The unit is accessible via a standard, unencrypted HTTP connection as well as an encrypted HTTPS (SSL) connection. The following web pages are available: Sensors Page The front page, Sensors, gives a real time view of the unit’s data. Readings for the internal temperature, humidity and dew point sensors along with all I/O ports and external sensors will be shown.
Logging Page The Logging page allows the user to access historical data recorded by the unit. Please note that although data is logged once per minute, all sensor data used in the real time display and alarm functions is read at least once every 5 seconds for internal sensors and once every 30 seconds for external sensors.
Display Page The Display page allows the user to assign friendly names to internal and attached sensors as well as change the default temperature unit of measure for sensors. The 5Vdc, internal, analog sensors can also be adjusted to show what every range is necessary for the user. There is a linear mapping of 0-5Vdc to the range entered by the user.
Alarms Page The Alarms page allows the user to establish alarm conditions for each sensor reading. Alarm conditions can be established with either high or low trip thresholds. The alarms are displayed in different sections based on the sensor the alarm is associated with. Alarm options include relays, Email and SNMP Traps.
Control Page The Control page allows the user to control the relay settings for the unit. The GBB100 has one relay that can be operated remotely or set to automatically open or close based on alarm conditions. Friendly names for the relay give the option of changing the state name from “Energized/De-energized”...
Configuration Page The Configuration page contains many of the settings for the device. Sections for Network, Time, Email, SNMP, User Accounts, Administration Information, Cameras and Diagnostics are all housed on this page. Each section contains a “Save Changes” to allow for saving the newest settings within that section only.
Unit Configuration Network The unit’s network configuration is set on the Network section of the Configuration page. Settings pertaining to the unit’s network connection are: DHCP: Allows the unit to request a dynamic IP address from a server on the network. ...
Figure 12: Time Configuration Section The time, date, IP address and friendly name of the unit are displayed in the top of each web page. Note: The time and date are not adjusted for daylight savings time. Setting the time zone offset forward and backward an hour will cause a gap or overwriting of logs, respectively.
Figure 13: Email Configuration Section SNMP The unit supports retrieval of all data via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) v1 and v2c. In addition, alarm traps can be sent to up to two IP addresses. The SNMP configuration is entered on the SNMP section of the Configuration page. The default read community string is “public”...
User Accounts GBB100 Series offer account security options that are entered on the User Accounts section of the Configuration page. There are three levels of account security: Administrator: Password protects the Display, Alarms and Configuration pages. Control User: Password protects the Control Actions and Control Settings pages.
Admin Information Information entered in the Admin Info section of the Admin tab of the Configuration page will show up at the bottom of the unit’s web interface. Figure 16: Admin Information Configuration Section Figure 17: Admin Information Display Camera Configuration Enter the domain names/IP addresses and models of up to four IP-addressable network cameras in the Cameras section on the Configuration page.
DC: 60 V, 30 W AC: 30 Vrms, 1 A Relay Settings The GBB100 Series units provide one output relay that can be operated remotely or set to automatically open or close based on alarm conditions. A relay in non-latching mode will automatically energize and de-energize as its associated alarms trip and clear.
Alarms Alarm Notifications The GBB100 supports three types of alarm notification: Relay: The unit can be configured to energize/de-energize one control relay. E-Mail: The unit can be configured to send alarm e-mails to up to three recipients. SNMP: The unit can be configured to send SNMP traps to up to two trap servers.

created. Alarms are triggered based on the selected sensor’s data and the trip threshold type and value. Alarm settings can be edited or deleted at any time. Analysis of each unit is recommended before setting alarm thresholds as some of the values monitored by the unit are relative values whose scale will differ slightly between units.
Sensors Overview All internal sensors are measured every 5 seconds. External sensors are measured every 10 to 30 seconds, depending on the number of devices connected. Sensor data collected by GBB100 units provides useful trend analysis data. While all values are not absolute in relation to a known unit, trend analysis of the data allows users to view changes and draw useful conclusions about what is happening over time in the monitored environment.

The display order of the sensors on the web page is determined by the serial number of each sensor. Friendly names for each sensor can be customized on the Display page. Note: The sensor uses Cat. 3 wire and RJ12 connectors. Wiring must be straight-through: reverse polarity will temporarily disable all sensors until corrected.
In addition to the full access, control and configuration available via a desktop web browser, GBB100 Series products present data in multiple formats for easy integration with other monitoring systems. Data formats available via links on the unit’s web page are: Figure 24: Alternate Format Links ...
Technical Support Firmware Version The firmware version is located in the upper right section of the web interface header, represented by v3.y.xx. Before contacting support, it is recommended that the GBB100 unit first be updated to the latest firmware version. If this is not possible, please have the unit’s existing firmware version number available when contacting technical support.
