The Gallagher HBUS 8 Port Hub (C300698) is a crucial component in Gallagher security systems, designed to facilitate flexible wiring configurations for HBUS devices. Its primary function is to allow installers to reuse existing wiring on-site, supporting combinations of star, home run, and daisy chain wiring when connecting HBUS devices back to a Gallagher Controller 6000. This flexibility is achieved through the integration of a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), which enables the star wiring of devices. The hub itself is not a monitored device, meaning it operates transparently to the Controller and connected HBUS devices.
The HBUS 8 Port Hub acts as a central distribution point for HBUS communication and power. It takes a single HBUS input from a Gallagher Controller 6000 and splits it into eight independent HBUS output ports. This allows for a "star" topology where multiple HBUS devices can branch off from the hub, rather than being limited to a linear daisy chain. This is particularly useful in installations where devices are geographically dispersed or where existing wiring infrastructure needs to be leveraged efficiently.
The hub supports various HBUS devices, including T-Series Readers, Z10 Tension Sensors, T20 Alarms Terminals, and F-Series Fence Controllers. However, it's important to note that UL evaluation for the 8 Port Hub has been specifically for readers and alarm terminals only, with tension sensors and fence controller equipment not being subject to the UL294 listing.
Each of the eight HBUS output ports is permanently terminated internally with a 120 Ω resistance, simplifying installation by eliminating the need for external termination at the hub's output. The "In" port, which connects to the Controller, has an optional termination jumper (J2 TERM) whose usage depends on the wiring configuration to the Controller.
