		GT490X Metal
		For Indoor Use Only

This equipment is intended only for use as a Security Alarm Control Panel. Adequate ventilation away from heat and humidity must be provided. The unit must be fixed securely to a non-flammable surface using suitable fixings.

All mains wiring must conform to the relevant current IEEE wiring regulations (or appropriate international regulatory standards). See Mains Supply Connection section within this manual for more detailed instructions.

All wiring must be protected from sharp or jagged edges.

All low voltage (alarm) wiring must be to the appropriate international regulatory standards and comply to good wiring practice and should be routed away from the mains cables.

Replacement fuses should be of the same type and rating conforming to IEC 127. The GT490X Control Panel is fitted with resettable fuses. The areas protected are Battery, Aux and Keypad. In the event of a fuse tripping or an input/ output not working, remove the source of the load and check wiring for shorts. Check any added devices for full functionality before any reconnection.

The maximum current draw from the unit for all output combinations must not exceed

1A.

Sounders, detectors and other auxiliary items, including the control panel and keypad(s), should be included when calculating current drawn by the system.

Any damage caused through overloading the Control Panel Supply will not be covered by the warranty.

We recommend that additional power supplies are used to supply detectors on long cable runs.

The unit is intended for use with a suitable re-chargeable lead acid battery permanently connected to the appropriate terminals.

All documentation and manuals must be thoroughly read by suitably qualified installation personnel prior to installation.

Important Safety Information. Hazardous Voltages Inside.The unit has no user serviceable parts inside. No User Access. Internal access should only be by suitably qualified personnel.

The unit MUST be Earthed. It is the responsibility of the installation engineer to ensure that the earth connection to the unit lid is good on completion of the installation or after service.

1 INTRODUCTION

The GT490X Control Panel is a microprocessor based unit that has been designed to be suitable for all types of domestic and commercial installations. All zones are fully programmable by the engineer.

On power up / reset, the Control Panel can be set to the old BS or EN2 (Grade 2) operating standards. It is ESSENTIAL that a 4 6 YES NO reset is done to all new systems before commencement of programming.

Upon completion of the installation the engineer may, if required, re-program several factory set options so as to tailor the Control Panel to suit the requirements of the system.

The GT490X Control Panel uses 32 character LCD Remote Keypads for control of the system via User Code(s) and programming of the system via an Engineer Code. The Factory Default Codes are:

Default Master User Code	5678
Default Engineer Code	1234

The Engineer code may be ‘Locked’ into the system during engineer programming and it should be noted that if the ‘Locked’ code is not known the only way to have it returned to the factory default is to return the PCB to the factory.

Option Formats. When an option cannot be changed the display will show a : rather than the usual = sign. Pressing the No key is disregarded and the panel will react as though the Yes key has been pressed (i.e. it will move onto the next option).

GT490X Engineer’s Reference Guide

2 SYSTEM INSTALLATION - WIRING

Planning the Control Panel Location

Consideration in locating the fixing position of the Control Panel should be given to:

Access for the routing of cables for the system from detection devices, sounders (internal and external), remote keypads, mains, etc.

The position of the underside retaining screw.

The fixing of a 3 amp fused spur with disconnection facility.

When fitting the RKP(s) consideration should be given to:

Operation of the keypad.

Readability of the display.

The Panel should be fixed to the wall using appropriate wall plugs and No.8 screws at least 30mm long. Do not tighten the screws at this stage, wait until all your wiring is in place.

Wiring Considerations

With the exception of the mains wiring all interconnections should be made with multicore 7/.02 alarm cable.

Good wiring practice should be observed throughout the installation and the following tips may prove useful.

Never run alarm cables parallel to mains cables, telephone cables or any other cables that may be carrying inductive loads

Whenever you have to cross mains cables with alarm cables ensure that you do so at 90°

Whenever possible wire the mains connection for the control panel back to the consumer unit via a 3A fused spur with disconnection facility.

Never tap into ring main circuits that have fridges/freezers on them.

Never tap into lighting circuits that have fluorescent lighting units on them.

Page 4

GT490X Engineer’s Reference Guide

Mains Wiring - WARNING: Electricity can KILL

Before connecting the control panel ALWAYS disconnect the supply at the consumer unit. A 230V a.c supply should be taken directly from the consumer unit. In order to comply with the relevant current wiring regulations this should be via a 3 Amp fused spur with disconnection facility. This must be carried out by a suitably qualified electrician. If you are in any doubt please contact your local electricity company for advice.

This control panel MUST be Earthed.

Remote Keypads

Up to four remote keypads may be fitted to the GT490X control panel. Each Keypad offers a 32 character backlit LCD.

A four core connection will be required between the control panel and remote keypad(s), keypads may be in a 'daisy chain' or ‘star’ format.

Note: 680 Ohm resistor must be fitted to ONE RKP. If the RKPs are wired in daisy chain format this should be the last RKP in the line.

Note: Each keypad must be programmed onto the system in order for it to be recognised by the system.

Note: Depending on the variant of keypad fitted external G-Tag Proximity Reader(s) may be fitted to each Remote Keypad.

Note: 680 Ohm resistor should be fitted to ONE of the RKPs. If RKPs are wired in daisy chain this should be the last RKP in the line,

		End Of Line wiring, this is the most secure wiring format.
8+8 (EOL)		This wiring method uses double EOL format to give 16 Zones
		from the control panel.

Note: For information on how to wire for the various wiring modes please refer to the wiring section within this manual.

If selecting 9 (EOL) follow steps 24 through to 26. If selecting 8+8 (EOL) jump to step 28.

Page 22

GT490X Engineer’s Reference Guide Three wiring options are available under 9 (EOL):

Norm: Standard GardTec wiring configuration without Mask or Fault detection.

Note: Does not give any Fault or Masking detection and should only be used with Zone pairing.

ELF1: ELF1 wiring is used for detectors that have a relay output (a pair of terminals) for Fault or Mask..

ELF2: ELF2 wiring is used for detectors that have a transistor output (a single terminal) for Fault or Mask.

Note: We would recommend that either ELF1 Format or ELF2 Format (dependant on detector output type, Relay or Transistor) is used. ELF1 or ELF2 wiring modes will allow for Alarm, Tamper, Fault and Masking to be monitored from a single zone without the need for zone pairing.

Note: The installer should check what output type the detector are, noting that all the detectors should be of the same type with regards to the Fault / Mask output.

Zone Pairing.

A zone is used to monitor Masking and Fault.

This is achieved by selecting Zone Pairing as on. Zone Pairing cannot be used in ELF1 or ELF2 wiring modes.

When using Zone Pairing each zone will have a corresponding paired zone that will be used for Masking and Fault signals. This is done by using the Odd numbered zones for the normal alarm detection and the Even numbered zones for Masking and Fault Detection. For example.

Alarm Zone
Zone 1	Pared Zone for Mask / Fault
Zone 3	Zone 2
Zone 5	Zone 4
Zone 7	Zone 6
etc...	Zone 8

Please note that half the zones on the system would be lost for processing the Mask and Fault signals and it would be more prudent to use the ELF1 or ELF2 modes as described previously.

Secondary Zones:

Zones programmed as secondary will not active any sounders or comms until a normal zone activates.

This will then trigger a confirmed signal and activate the sounders as programmed.

Perimeter Zone:

Zones programmed as perimeter will activate the alarm as normal but will also activate a comms channel programmed as perimeter.

DKnock/Arm/Log:

Zones on double knock are required to activate within the double knock time window or stay active for fifteen seconds to generate an alarm condition.

	Arm is used to program the zones to automatically re-arm after an activation.
	It should be noted that a zone still violated when the system times out after
	an alarm, will not re-armed.
Note:	Zone Log Limit is defaulted to On and may not be changed. Only five activations from any
	one zone will be recorded in the log during any set period.
Note:	E/E in part set entry exit zones will start the entry timer if opened in part set.
	12Hr in part set entry exit zones will be instant when opened in part set.
