  • Page 8: Applicability Of This Manual

    GeoSIG instruments are constantly being improved. Although the manual you receive along with your instrument corresponds to the actual software versions, you are advised to check the GeoSIG web page periodically for the most recent version of this document, and especially after performing any software upgrades.
  • Page 9 Please consult the battery manufacturer’s website for the latest operating, maintenance and safety guidelines. Please contact GeoSIG in writing if the specific safety, operating, maintenance and disposal information for your battery type can’t be found.
  • Page 10 GeoSwitch User Manual 10 / 66 GS_GeoSwitch_UserManual_V21.doc...
  • Page 11 11 / 66 GeoSIG Cybersecurity Recommendations GeoSIG instruments, as described in their documentation, have built-in security and safety features against unauthorised access or use. However, ultimately it is the user’s responsibility to ensure the safe and secure usage of our instruments based on their actual implementation. No factory delivered solution can fit each and every possible scenario.
  • Page 12 10. Software / Firmware updates Networked devices must only run software/firmware that are updated according to supplier’s guidelines. A periodical check of any available updates from the supplier must be sought. Please contact GeoSIG Ltd if you require any further advice or clarification. GS_GeoSwitch_UserManual_V21.doc...

  • Page 14 This is a reliable and easy to use device, and at the same time a sophisticated product, which requires care, attention and know-how in configuring, installing, operating and maintenance. The GeoSwitch should never be used to switch main AC power. It should always be used in conjunction with appropriate high-power relays.

  • Page 15: Incoming Inspection

    5 years parts and maintenance support commitment. If GeoSIG receives notice of such defects during the warranty period, GeoSIG shall at its option either repair (at factory) or replace free of charge hardware and software products that prove to be defective. If GeoSIG is unable, within a reasonable time to repair or replace any cabinet to a condition as warranted, buyer shall be entitled to a refund of the purchase price upon return of the cabinet to GeoSIG.
  • Page 16 GeoSwitch User Manual 16 / 66 3. Description 3.1. Housing The instrument comes with an UV stabilized Polycarbonate housing with UL94-HB flammability rating and mounting flanges on both sides. These mounting flanges allow easy fixation of the instrument on the ground, wall or any other surface.
  • Page 17 17 / 66 3.2. Connectors The GeoSwitch instrument has three connectors – Main connector, USB Console connector and the LiPo Backup Battery connector.. The Main Connector must be only accessed during the first installation of the instrument. To access this connector the transparent cover and the internal black cover must be removed.

  • Page 18: Main Connector

    K3_NO Normally opened contact of relay 3 Each of three alarm relays of the GeoSwitch has 3 contacts, where one Common (Kx_CMN) contact will be connected to Normally Closed (Kx_NC) in case the instrument is not powered. Figure 4. Schematic of Relay Contacts.

  • Page 19: Geoswitch Cable

    GeoSwitch User Manual 16.11.2023 / V21 19 / 66 3.2.2. GeoSwitch Cable Please refer to Appendix D for cable drawing with pin colour code 3.2.3. USB Console Socket This is a standard USB type B socket, which can be interconnected with computer to configure the GeoSwitch.

  • Page 20: Push Buttons

    Maximal voltage is 28 VDC. Average power consumption of the GeoSwitch is around 0.3 W. HW of GeoSwitch prior to version 3 has supercap as main backup power source. HW version 3 has Li-Po battery as main backup power source.

  • Page 21: Installation

    • If the instrument will be powered in the field from a 115 / 230 VAC supply, an external AC/DC power supply is required. The GeoSwitch cannot be connected directly to 115 / 230 VAC. The VAC supply must consist of Phase, Neutral and Protection Earth.

  • Page 22: Physical Installation

    The unit must be fixed rigidly on the foundation. For that purpose, the housing has mounting flanges for fixation, where two or four M4 screws with washers should be used. The GeoSwitch contains an internal offset correction. Therefore the instrument can be installed on the floor, wall or any other oriented surface without any limitations.

  • Page 23: Connection Of Cable To Main Connector

    Pinout of the Main Connector can be seen in chapter 3.2.1. It is required to connect relays to controlled equipment in such a way, so that in case of power outage for GeoSwitch, its relays should block operation or activate brakes of controlled equipment for safety reasons.
  • Page 24 GeoSwitch User Manual 24 / 66 Once the protective panels have been removed, the GeoSwitch internal electronic boards and battery will be visible as shown in the figure below. For ease of installation and to avoid wrong connections, the internal battery is provided with a short cable that has a polarised connector.
  • Page 25 This chapter gives an overview about the normal operation the instrument in a network or as a standalone unit. 5.1. Interfaces of the GeoSwitch Generally, GeoSwitch has LCD display, LEDs, push buttons, Main Connector and Console Interface (USB). Main Connector allows connecting: • External power source.

  • Page 26: Normal Operation

    The GeoSwitch does not have any main power switch, so its power need to be disable externally. Because of its internal backup power source it is required to wait up to 400 seconds until GeoSwitch will completely switch off. Alternatively, GeoSwitch can be reset and powered off through the Clear Switch input if it was configured to reset the device and external power is off.

  • Page 29: Configuration Of The Instrument

    6.1. General STA/LTA feature added from version 1.1.0 of GeoSwitch FW. At first start or after a restart (reboot), the GeoSwitch needs to stabilize its signal filters based on actual ambient conditions and vibrations, to achieve higher accuracy. This may take up to 1-2 minutes during which STA/LTA and Threshold triggering functions disabled.

  • Page 30: Relay Usage

    – when alarm state alternate between set and unset state periodically until fault will heartbeat happen. Relay contacts can be used for external monitoring of "A'm alive" state of GeoSwitch. • – when STA/LTA at corresponding axis exceeds threshold value of STA/LTA.

  • Page 31: Relay Hold Time

    Applicable only for threshold, vector, sta_lta, sta_lta_vector usage of relay. Default is 0 (0 seconds). 6.1.9. Relay Beeper The GeoSwitch can beep three times (500 ms beep, 500 ms silence) at start of each 10 seconds if alarm is active for specified relay. Can be disabled or enabled.

  • Page 32: Clearswitch Input

    6.1.14. MODBUS Slave Address Change of this setting will apply after reboot only. The GeoSwitch MODBUS interface can be configured to use one of addresses from range 1-247. Default is 1. 6.1.15. MODBUS Baud-rate Change of this setting will apply after reboot only.

  • Page 33: Time Of Rtc

    57600 Default is 19200. 6.1.16. Time of RTC The GeoSwitch has RTC which counts local time. Its time can be set to current time. Supported range for years is 2000..2099. 6.1.17. Comment for Device This value is write-protected and can be set up at factory only.
