Enquire Now

GradeShift Pro Radio/Radio uses two active 4G WorldSIMs, each with their own radio module, one as the primary and one as the secondary path. A third standby SIM acts as a backup to the primary SIM on the primary path. GradeShift Pro LAN/Radio uses LAN connectivity for its primary path and a 4G WorldSIM as its secondary path. A standby WorldSIM is also supplied. Each SIM operates on an independent network from the other for total resilience.

How do I setup Multi-Factor Authentication on the My Base App?

For security, multi-factor authentication (MFA) is now required to use the My Base App. MFA drastically increases security on our platform and requires users to authenticate themselves via their username/password and with a time-limited code (each code expires after 60 seconds). This code is obtained via an Authenticator App, email or SMS. New authentication is required once every 30 days; if the user logs out or if we update CSL Live.

How it works:

  1. Log in to My Base as normal with your username and password.
  2. Receive a code via an Authenticator App, email or SMS.
  3. Enter the code within My Base.
  4. You are now securely logged in.

If you have any issues with the steps above, resetting your password will restart the authentication process. If the issue persists and you require support, call CSL Technical Support on +44 (0) 1895 474 444.

What is the standard pin setup of the Gradeshift Pro?

As standard, the device is triggered by removing or applying zero volts to input terminals 1-8. No external pull-up resistors will be required.  This is usually achieved via the digital communicator outputs of a control panel.   

If you need to use a positive applied/removed, please contact support so that they can amend the bias of the device.

Why are pin alarms not coming through on the alarm log?

As standard the device is triggered by removing or applying zero volts to input terminals 1-8. If you are using a positive applied/removed to trigger the pins, you will not see any pin alarms in the alarm log until the bias of the device has been changed. You can amend this by carrying out the following steps: 

1. Using the A or B button, scroll until you see an “L” on the display. 

2. Hold and press the C button until you see an “ _ “ on the display. 

3. Using the A or B button, scroll until you see an “L” on the display. 

4. Tap the C button. 

5. The bias has now been changed.  

Alternatively, please contact technical support for assistance.

Why am I not receiving SIA signals from my panel?

Your device will come pre-configured without a panel connection type (pins only). To enable the serial connection to a control panel, go to MyBase and select the panel type. 

1. To so this, follow the below steps: 

2. Go to hardware. Click on the “hamburger” icon and select “edit panel”. 

3. Select the correct panel type in panel 1 and then click on “save changes”. 

4. Your device will upload its configuration and reboot. Once the reboot has taken place you should start receiving signals from the control panel.

If you are not receiving signals, make sure you have completed the panel programming steps detailed in the panel guide for that particular control panel. The guides can be found on online - Click here

How do I check the signal strength of my device (both primary and secondary path)?

To check the signal strength the device is registering you can use either My Base or the display of the device. The display will read out the radio access technology and the signal strength of the primary radio path (i.e GSM 1 4G 8). We recommend a minimum of 4 out of 10 on 4G/3G/2G. 

If you have a secondary radio module, toggle DIP switch 4 of the module to show the signal strength and radio access technology of GSM2 on the display (i.e GSM2 4G 6). Toggle DIP switch 4 again to view signal for GSM 1.

Why is the display of my device showing a continuous H or T?

If your device has been configured as single path IP, you will see one of the below network configurations displayed on the device’s display: 

“T” = 10-Base T connection – half duplex. 

“T” with “.” = 10-Base T connection – full duplex. 

“H” = 100-Base T connection -half duplex. 

“H” with “.” = 100-Base T connection -full duplex.

What does “Missing 4G Pod 2” alarm mean?

You will see this alarm in the alarm log, if radio module 2 has been installed in one of our radio module enclosures and the device has detected an issue with the optical tamper of that enclosure. Ideally, an engineer should attend site and ensure the enclosure has not been tampered with.

What is the standard setup of the GradeShift Pro's fault output?

The output default is normally open.  Outputs 1A + 1B are volt free contacts, that are normally open and configured to indicate path fail conditions to the control panel.  If required, you can invert the relay output via My Base.
