GX-Series Control Panel Installation and Setup Guide
Cancelling and Resetting Alarms and Alerts
Following an alarm, sounders and strobes are activated. When a fault condition occurs in the unset
(disarmed) state, an alert condition is activated. This consists of an intermittent beep at the keypad and/or a
visual alert on the keypad. Following each alarm activation, the alarm must be cancelled and the GX-Series
reset. The activation is cancelled by entry of any valid user code (type 2.2 and above) assigned to the group
that has alarmed or by presentation of a valid proximity card to a reader. The alarm sounders, Bell and
Strobe outputs are silenced and the keypad displays information on the zones or faults that have been
activated. Use the A> and <B keys to scroll through multiple activations.
If the user code entered is not of a sufficient level to reset the GX-Series, the keypad displays the message
CALL MANAGER RESET REQUIRED or CALL ENGINEER RESET REQUIRED (parameter 51.63 =
Banner Alerts must be enabled), depending on the type of alarm and level of reset required.
The GX-Series is reset by entering a valid user code assigned to the group that has alarmed, with the
appropriate reset level for the type of alarm that has activated — System, Tamper or PA (refer to option
51.6 = PARAMETERS.System Reset, 51.7 = PARAMETERS.Tamper Reset and 51.22 =
PARAMETERS.PA Reset or 51.65 = PARAMETERS.Reset Levels). The keypad displays information on
the zones that have been activated during the alarm.
NOTE: If a tamper alarm has activated (zone or module) then the system cannot be reset until the tamper
condition is restored.
On the next setting (arming) of the GX-Series, if any of the zones that were opened during the previous
alarm have not closed since the alarm activation, then the system is prevented from setting. The addresses
of the open zones are displayed on the keypad; there is no sounder activation. Closing the zones permits the
setting procedure to start.
NOTE: This is not the same as open zones being indicated on the keypad; these are accompanied by rapid
tones on the Entry/Exit Horn.
Recording of Events
During any given set (armed) period, there is no limit to the number of signals sent from individual
activations. However, no more than three events from any single source will be recorded in the event log.
Resetting Using Alarm Cause Code
If enabled in menu option 51.72, when a reset is required, an alarm cause code must be entered to reset the
system.
If there are multiple alarm causes and/or multiple groups require to be reset, then the alarm cause code only
has to be entered once. The user enters the most appropriate code as determined on site. The cause code
values should be determined in conjunction with the Alarm Receiving Center (ARC).
Overriding of Faults and Tampers
Whenever a user logs in, the display shows any unrestored faults and tampers. If the condition cannot be
cleared and restored, then to enable the system to be set, an option to override the condition is included.
When a user tries to set (arm) the system, the system displays any conditions and allows the user to scroll
through multiple conditions. If the user has the authority to override the condition, the following display
accompanies the condition;
If the user cannot override the condition, the ENT to Continue will not be displayed.
The user can override each authorized condition, by pressing the ent key while the condition is displayed on
the keypad. Each and every condition is individually displayed and overridden.
