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

the rated output.

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.

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. Selection for PD6662 2004 /PD6662 2010 standard can also be
set at this point. (See page 10 for further details).

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.

It should be noted that if the engineer code has been locked into the system it
may only be changed by using the code again (default to factory settings will
have no effect).

We recommend that the Installation manual and the user manual are read and fully
understood before any installation of the system is carried out. This Quick Start Guide
is intended for use by engineers who have experience in installing GT security equip­ment. Greater detail is given in the GT490X Manual available from our website.

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 unswitched fused spur.

When fitting the RKP(s) consideration should be given to:
Operation of the keypad.

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.

Readability of the display.

Mains Supply Connection - 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 contr

ol panel MUST be Earthed.

Output Terminal Descriptions

Speaker Terminals

This pair of terminals provide connection for:-

System Speaker(s)
Optional 16/32 Ohm Panel Speaker

A speaker is supplied in each keypad. If any additional speakers are fitted they should
present a minimum impedance of 16 Ohm.

PGM 1, 2 & 3 Terminals

The PGM1 & 2 terminals are an open collector output held at 12V through an integral
1k resistor. Max current sink into PGM 1 & 2 terminals is 50mA. The terminals are
programmable for various uses if required.

Note: PGM3 terminal is the strobe- terminal and is only available as a

Power Supply Rating

GT490X Max. O/P current - 0.8A plus 0.123mA for batt. charge.

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.

AUX 12V Terminals

This pair of terminals supply the + and - supply for the detectors. 1A available from
these terminals.

Strobe Terminals

This pair of terminals are the output for the Strobe. The negative terminal is switched
during an alarm period. Max current for switch is 1A.

Bell Terminals

This pair of terminals are the output for the Bell or external sounder. The negative
terminal is switched during an alarm period. Max sink current for switch is 1A.

Keypads

The + and - terminals supply power to the keypads.

programmable option if the Strobe terminal is not used for the
External Sounder e.g. when NovActive sounders are used.

Max current for switch is 1A.

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
