Mounting the Control Cabinet

To mount the control cabinet, perform the following steps:

Do not attempt to remove the knockouts after the circuit board has been installed

Step Action

1. Before mounting the circuit board, remove the metal knockouts for the wiring entry that you will
be using.

2. Using fasteners or anchors (not supplied), mount the control cabinet to a sturdy wall in a clean,
dry area that is not readily accessible to the general public. The back of the cabinet has 4 holes for
this purpose.

To provide certificated burglary service for UL installations, refer to the special requirements and

Mercantile Premises Listing Guidelines

• The panel door must be supervised. Mount the clip-on tamper switch (supplied) to the cabinet's right

side wall and wire it to the cover tamper on the PCB. See Figure 2-4 for the location of the PCB terminal
block.

• All wiring between the transformer and panel must be run in conduit. Remaining wires do not need to be

run in conduit.

• All unused knockouts must be plugged using the disc plugs and carriage bolts (supplied), as indicated in

Figure 2-3.

• Fasten the cabinet door to the cabinet backbox using the 15 one-inch-long Phillips-head screws

(supplied) after all wiring, programming, and checkout procedures have been completed.

Mercantile Safe and Vault Listing Guidelines

• Follow the guidelines given above for Mercantile Premises listing.

• For safe and vault installations, a shock sensor (not supplied) that is listed for protection of sheet metal

enclosures, as well as an additional tamper switch, must be installed on the cabinet backbox to protect
the cabinet from being removed from the wall. These devices must also be wired to the cover tamper on
the PCB. See Figure 2-4 for the location of the PCB terminal block.

Installing the PCB in the Control

To install the circuit board in the cabinet, perform the following steps:

Step Action

1. Confirm the Mounting Plate is installed securely in the cabinet.

2. Place the board flat and secure to the mounting plate with the six accompanying screws. (See
Figure 2-3)

NOTE: Make sure that the mounting screws are tight.

Use shielded wire or keep wiring away from the microprocessor (center) section of the PC board. Use the
mounting plate brackets on the left and right sidewalls of the cabinet for anchoring field wiring using tie
wraps (Figure 2-3). These steps are important to minimize the risk of panel RF interference with television
reception.

The 7 transistorized outputs on the GX-Series can be configured to open collectors by setting the dip switch
SW3 to the OFF position. Table 2-1 shows which outputs are controlled by which switches.

Note: Output 2 on RIO 0 (relay output) is not affected. This is a f orm C r ela y that can switch up t o 1 amp at

24 volts DC.

Transformer Installation Instructions

Use the supplied 1451 Transformer. This transformer provides 18VAC/72VA secondary winding for
powering the control and has a manually resettable circuit breaker mounted inside a protective metal
enclosure. To connect the 1451 transformer to the control, perform the following steps (refer to Figure 2-6):

Notes: 1. Make sure the circuit breaker that controls the circuit providing power to the control unit is in the OFF position.

2. The 120VAC circuit that the transformer is connected to should be dedicated to powering the control unit, should
provide power continuously for 24 hours, and should not be controlled by a wall switch.

3. All circuits are power limited except the output of the 1451 transformer and the battery.

Step Action

1. Remove the front cover.

2. Mount the 1451 transformer enclosure to the wall near the control panel. The enclosure has four
mounting holes on its back surface for this purpose.

3. Identify the circuit breaker or fuse controlling the circuit furnishing power to the control unit.
Make sure it is in the OFF position.

4.

5. Use wire nuts to splice the 120VAC wires to the transformer’s white and black primary leads.

6. Connect the earth ground post on the back of the enclosure to a good earth ground.

7. Run 16AWG wire in conduit from the enclosure to the control panel.

8. Route the wire through a knockout on the left-hand side of the control unit's enclosure. Tie-wrap it

9. Use wire nuts to splice the transformer blue 18VAC secondary leads to the 16AWG wire. Connect

10. Replace the front cover of the enclosure and fasten it with the screws supplied.

Run 120VAC wiring from the circuit breaker or fuse to the enclosure in conduit. A dedicated

circuit must be used.

GX-Series Control Panel Installation and Setup Guide

Connecting the Control Unit to Earth Ground

To connect the system to earth ground, perform the following steps:

Step Action

1. Connect the earth ground post inside the transformer enclosure to a good earth ground (use
grounding methods specified in the National Electric Code).

2. Use a green nut (supplied) to secure the green ground wire to the ground post. The earth ground
wire should be the only wire under this nut.

3. Run 16AWG wire from this post through conduit into the control unit enclosure.

4. Take a ring terminal harness and cut it in half. Connect the wire end of the ring terminal harness
with a wire nut to the 16AWG wire from the conduit and take the ring terminal end and place it
under the mounting plate screw. See Figure 2-6.

5. Take the other end of the ring terminal harness and insert the bare wire end into the ground
(GND) terminal block on the main PCB and place the ring end under the mounting plate screw.
See Figure 2-6.

6. To ground the cabinet door to the cabinet take the ring terminal harness and place both ends on
the mounting post on the door and cabinet and secure it with a washer and green nut. See
Figure 2-6.

Power Requirements

The GX-Series uses 1451 power supply as the primary power source. Because the system power is
distributed over the RS-485 buses, it is important to keep the voltage drops along the buses to a minimum.
Good installation practices will go a long way toward minimizing both the effect of the voltage drops and the
need for adding an external power unit.
Where additional power is needed, an Electronic Security Devices (ESD) SPS-6E power supply can be
introduced at sections of the bus. The power supply will provide power for its associated device and for
additional sections of the RS-485 bus, as well.

Notes: 1. Terminals 1 and 2 must be hard-wired to LINE A (Tip) and B (Ring) terminals on the GX-Series PCB.

The connection is polarity independent.

2. It is strongly recommended that the GX-Series panel is the only device on the line.

3. Audio module not evaluated by UL.

Note: If a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) is used, a suitable filter must be used for the phone line.

Line Monitoring

Under normal idle state conditions, the on-board Telecom Module monitors the PSTN line.

PSTN LED (Green): If a telephone line fail is detected by the Audio Interface this LED will flash repeatedly
at: 200ms ON/200ms OFF. When the telephone line fail condition clears this flashing LED will then go OFF.

Table 2-3. Battery/Control Panel connections

NOTES: 12V 7AH battery capacity is required for emergency standby for at least 4 hours.
Two 12V 7AH batteries are required for standby power in UL installations.
Accommodation of 2 x 17 Ah batteries not evaluated by UL.

When connecting batteries in parallel:

- Battery normally need not be replaced for at least 3 years.

- Use batteries from the same manufacturer and with the same voltage and capacity rating.

- Use batteries with approximately the same age and state of charge.

- Use cables provided, and observe polarity!

- It is recommended that all batteries be replaced at the same time, even if only one battery has
become weak.

Battery Start-up

The system can be powered up via the Battery Start-up jumper if there is no AC power. To do this, short
out the Battery Start-up jumper for the duration of the configuration process only. Never leave the Battery
Start-up connected or else deep discharge of the Stand-by Battery will occur.

Power Monitoring Characteristics: Low battery level: 11.2V
Deep discharge protection: 10.2V
Overvoltage protection: 14.7V

Internally the PSU is split in two in order to ensure sufficient current is always available for stand-by
battery recharge. The PSU capacity is broken down as follows:

• Battery: 1.25A

• Control PCB: 0.25A

• AUX +12V: 1.00A

The PSU is available for zones/outputs and peripherals.

Memory

The GX-Series control panel has a built-in memory chip with its own battery backup on the main PCB. This
allows the panel to retain the system configuration, programming details and the event log for up to a year
when both the mains power and standby battery have been disconnected. The memory backup battery must
be kept in place to retain the memory during a mains failure. Re-apply power, this is known as a warm
start.

To completely erase the system memory and return to the default settings, place a piece of thin card between
the retaining clip and the memory backup battery then remove all power to the PCB for one minute. Re­apply power and remove the card. This is known as a cold start.

The memory backup battery should be replaced every 5 years, by a trained installer only.

Memory backup battery replacement:

1. Remove memory backup battery with a small flat head screwdriver.

2. Replace with a good battery.

3. Reconnect mains supply.

4. Reconnect 12V battery.

CAUTION: There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries

according to the instructions.

Do not overstress the retaining clip when removing and installing the backup battery. The clip must

maintain a firm pressure on the backup battery at all times.

Replacement Batteries: Panasonic CR2025; or Varta Batteries CR2025.

GX-Series Control Panel Installation and Setup Guide

RS485 Data Communication Bus (AB Lines)

Communication between the GX-Series control panels and the modules attached to the system takes place
on the AB lines. The communication protocol is RS485 format. The control panel constantly monitors the
modules attached to it. A break in the communication from any of the modules generates a module tamper
alarm.

RS485 Wiring Configurations

The system must be wired in a daisy-chain configuration. That is the A line from the previous module is
connected to the A terminal of the current module and then on to the A line of the next module. The RS485
(AB) line must have a 680 • resistor installed across the A and B terminals of the last module on the line. If
two lines are connected, both ends must be terminated with 680 • resistors and the appropriate link (LK3 or
LK5) removed.

Table 2-4. Communication Devices

2. Minimum wire gauge for field wiring circuits is 22AWG.

3. The system must be wired in a daisy-chain configuration. Spur and star configurations must not be

used as they reduce the immunity to electrical interference.

4. The cable used must screened twisted pair (Part No W002) to connect the RS485 (AB) line. This would

be CAT5 or Belden 8723 equivalent.

5. Shielded twisted pair cable, where used, is connected to the cabinet ground rod on the GX-Series control
panel using the P-clip and nut supplied (refer to Figure 2-10).

6. The RS485 (AB) line must have a 680 • resistor installed across the A and B terminals of the last
module on the line. If twin lines are connected, both ends must be terminated with 680 • resistors and
the appropriate link on the control panel PCB must be removed (refer to Figure 2-9).

7. There must only be a single AB pair of wires in each of the cables.

8. Supply voltage to the devices is 12 VDC.

9. The power supply in the GX-Series control panel and remote power supplies must not be connected in parallel.

10. The 0 V of all remote power supplies should be connected in common to the 0 V of the GX-Series control
panel.

11. Ensure that any extension loudspeakers are not wired in the same cable as an AB pair of wires.

12. Where possible, ensure that the AB cable is at least 30cm away from any other cables.

13. Where possible, ensure that the AB cable does not run parallel to other cables for extended distances
(maximum 5 meters).

Zone Addressing with On-board RIO Switch (Line 0 Switch)

The RIO switch (SW3, dipswitch 8) controls the ordering of the on-board RIO’s. This dipswitch must be set
before powering up the panel. Setting the switch to ON sets the on-board RIO1 to operate on line 0 and
allows a RIO addressed as 1 to be connected to line 1, giving a total of 15 RIO’s on a GX-520. The RIO switch
only needs to be activated if the maximum number of RIO’s will be used.

NOTE: The RIO switch is not functional on other panel variants. It defaults to the Switch off configuration.
Switch off (default)

When the switch is set to this mode, the on-board RIO’s configure to the following addresses:
On-board RIO0 Zone address range: 1001-1008 Outputs: 1001-1004
On-board RIO1 Zone address range: 1011-1018 Outputs: 1011-1014

Wiring Keyswitches

Latching or spring loaded keyswitches can be used to set (arm) and unset (disarm) the GX-Series panels;
option 52 = PROGRAM ZONES has provision to accommodate both types of transition. If the keyswitch
latches, the transition from 1 k• to 2 k• initiates the setting (arming) procedure of an unset (disarmed)
system, the transition from 2 k• to 1 k• instantly unsets (disarms) a set (armed) system. If the system is
already set (armed), then the transition from 1 k• to 2 k• has no effect. If the system is unset (disarmed),
the transition from 2 k• to 1 k• has no effect. This is programmed as a * Keyswitch in the PROGRAM
ZONES option. If the keyswitch is spring-loaded (returns to its normal position), the transition from 1 k• to
2 k• initiates the setting (arming) procedure of an unset (disarmed) system and instantly unsets (disarms) a
set (armed) system, the transition from 2 k• to 1 k• - the return to the normal position - has no effect. This
is programmed as a Keyswitch in the PROGRAM ZONES option.

Wiring Terminator Buttons

Zones programmed as Push-Set (terminator) buttons can be open going closed (2 k• to 1 k•) or closed going
open (1 k• to 2 k•). The first activation of the terminator button initializes its status to the system.

NOTE: The first activation of a termina tor may not set (a rm) the syste m as this can be th e initializ ation ro utine . If the

system continues setting (arming), push the button again. The system will set (arm) on the second push. This
initialization only occur s on the fi rst setti ng (a rming). All sub sequen t setting (arming ) routine s set (ar m) on the
first push of th e te rminat o r. The w i ring of the t e rminat or an d keyswi t ch z one ty pe i s show n in Fi gu re 2 -16:

Trigger Header

The Trigger Header on the GX-Series is a set of pins that consist of programmable outputs for an external
communication module. The connection is via an optional ribbon cable.

Trig 1-6

There are six trigger outputs that can be used as communication triggers, but can also be used for any other
purpose. By default these outputs are programmed as positive. They are designed to sink current (to 0V) not
source current (from 12V). The functions of these outputs are shown in Table 2-9:

NOTES: 1. A single TouchCenter can be installed on each bus line.

2. If RIO 2 on-board is set to line 0 (Dip SW 8) then the first external RIO can use address
1 to give an extra 8 zones where needed.

Connecting the RIO

The RIO can only be connected to the system while engineer mode is accessed. The RS485 (AB) line of the
GX-Series RIO must be wired in parallel (daisy-chain configuration) with the RS485 (AB) line of any
keypads connected to the system. The RIO requires 12 VDC and 40 mA. This can be supplied from the

Table 3-2. GX-Series Peripheral Addresses

3-1

GX-Series Control Panel Installation and Setup Guide

control panel power supply or from a remote power supply if the distance causes a large voltage drop on the
cable.

Connect the RIO terminals as follows:

+12 V (either control panel, keypad or remote power supply);
–0 V or ground (either control panel, keypad or remote power supply);
A to the A terminal of the previous module (or control panel if RIO is the first on the line);
B to the B terminal of the previous module (or control panel if RIO is the first on the line).

NOTE: If the RIO is the last module on the line, connect a 680 Ω EOL resistor across the A and B terminals.

Configuring the RIO

The added RIO is configured into the system on exiting from engineer mode. If the message XX Mod Added
[<],[>] To View is displayed, the system has recognized that a new module is present. Press the A> or <B

keys to confirm that the RIO has been added. If this message is not displayed or the RIO is not on the list of
added modules, then the RIO is not communicating with the control panel or has been set to the same
address as the RIO already connected to the system. The flash rate of the red LED (LED1) on the RIO
indicates the status of the communication with the control panel - refer to Table 3-3.

Flash Rate (seconds) Meaning

0.1 ON / 0.9 OFF Normal communications
OFF No DC supply

1.5 ON / 1.5 OFF RIO has not been configured into system

0.2 ON / 0.2 OFF RIO has lost communication with system

0.9 ON / 0.1 OFF Very poor communications

Table 3-3. RIO LED Flash Rates

RIO Zones

The GX-Series RIO has eight programmable zones. These default to INTRUDER. Each zone is Double
Balance monitored with a 1 k• resistor in series with the zone detector and a 1 k• (1%) resistor in parallel
across the detector switch. The change to 2 k• (1%) resistance registers the zone as open/alarm.

RIO Outputs

The RIO has four transistorized outputs. Each output is connected to +12 V via a 3.3k• pull-up resistor
(refer to Table 3-4). When an output is activated, the load is switched to the negative supply voltage (ground
or 0 V) of the RIO. The total current available from the RIO outputs 1 - 4 is 700 mA. The default functions
and pull-up resistors of each RIO output, when connected to a GX-Series are shown in Table 3-4.

Output No. Function Maxium Load Pull-up Resistor

1 Bells 400 mA R1
2 Strobe 100 mA R3
3 PA (Personal Attack) 100 mA R5
4 Reset 100 mA R7

Ethernet Module

NOTES: For UL installations use a DTK-MRJ45C5E Ethernet surge protector.

In UL 1076 compliant systems, the Ethernet module must be used as the primary means of
communication.
In UL installations, do not use an Ethernet card in wireless LAN or WAN configurations.

The Ethernet Module is an optional add-on to the GX-Series control panel. It is a highly intelligent and
compact module, combining alarm signaling, remote servicing and integrated facilities over Ethernet LAN
and/or WAN. The Ethernet Module connects to 10 Base T Ethernet networks both supporting UDP/IP and
TCP/IP protocols. The Ethernet module supports the following features:

For UL installations, use LAN for all Ethernet connections.

Configuring the Ethernet Module

The added Ethernet Module is configured into the system on exiting from engineer mode and is allocated
keypad address 15 (B). If the message XX Mod Added [<],[>] To View is displayed, the system has
recognized that a new module is present. Press the A> or <B keys to confirm that com 4 has been added. If
this message is not displayed or the Ethernet Module is not on the list of added modules, then the Ethernet
Module is not communicating with the control panel. The flash rate of the red LED (LED3) on the Ethernet
Module indicates the status of the communication with the control.

Ethernet Communication

The green LED (LED1) is illuminated when the Ethernet Module is connected to Ethernet. The amber LED
(LED2) flashes when the Ethernet Module is sending or receiving data. For further information regarding
the Ethernet Module, refer to Ethernet Module, Installation Instructions (800-07482).
