1.1. Description The GR-6500 is a 16 zone addressable control panel for emergency luminaires that can connect with 250 devices. All the luminaires that are connected on the loop are displayed on the panel with the general term «POINTS». This term will be also used in the instructions below from now on.
1.4. General LCD indications A typical main screen of the panel GR-6500 is shown below. Figure 1-2 The LCD is divided is four sections. The first section is the current mode of the panel. The modes can...

• “CHARGING” all the luminaires are in charging mode • “EMERGENCY” at least one of the luminaires is in emergency mode • “FUNCTION TEST” a function test is running • “CAPACITY TEST” a capacity test is running • “INHIBIT” inhibit mode is active •...
2. User Menu By pressing “Enter” you have access to the user menu of the panel. There is a general diagram of the user menu options below. MENU CURRENT FAULTS SHOW FAULTS RESET FAULTS LUMINAIRES MODE INHIBIT OFF IN EMERGENCY TEST INFORMATION TECHNICIAN MENU...
Figure 2-6 The last line shows the index of the fault and the number of all faults. By pressing the “RESET FAULTS” the panel deletes and resets all faults. The next option “LUMINAIRES” sends commands to the luminaires connected to the panel. The option “MODE INHIBIT”...

The second line shows the source of the event for example PANEL, POINT 230 (point at address 230). The third line shows a description of the event, for example “NOT REGISTERED”...
3. Installation instructions Connections between the control panel and the luminaire modules is consisted of a 2 core twisted pair cable. The figure below shows the interior of the panel and the keyboard. ° Please install the panel in a clean and dry environment with an ambient temperature of between 5 °...
Olympia Electronics recommends the following cables: 1. YSLY-OZ 2. LiYCY Typical cable cross section is from 0.75mm2 to 2.5mm2 depending on the number of connected luminaires, topology of the installation and length of cable runs. 3.2. Topology of the installation The maximum number of luminaires connected to the panel is 250.
250 mA. The total loop current of the installation is calculated by adding the total current consumption of each device in normal operation. If in any condition we exceed the current limit of 250mA, we must install a second GR-6500 panel to create a network. The devices will be divided into two panels.
3.6. Network connection The GR-6500 panel can be connected to a Local Area Network via Ethernet and can be accessed remotely via a PC and a common web browser. The Ethernet network connectivity, is provided by the GR-8530 Ethernet card (10BASE-T controller) (optional accessory - contact your sales representative).
At the right bottom corner of the panel PCB there is a mini USB-B connector. This USB is used for communication between the panel and the software PC GR-6500. You can update the firmware of the panel by using the software too.

Please follow the general guidelines bellow for any installation: • External cables must be connected using the cable entries or knockouts provided. • When routing external cables inside the panel they must be kept as short as possible • Cables must be routed close to the housing •...
4. Technician menu To enter the technician menu you must press “Enter” from the main screen, then select the option “TECHNICIAN MENU”. Then you must enter the technician code. The default code is 1000. You can see a figure of the enter code screen below. With Up-Down keys you change the digit, Right-Left keys you move to the next digit.
• “SYSTEM” where you can automatically setup (register) all points of the loop • “POINTS” configure each point of the panel • “SETTINGS” configure parameters of the panel. See paragraph 4.1. • “ENABLE” a point, a zone, all zones. • “DISABLE”...
• “TIME SETTING” set the time of the panel • “SELECT LANGUAGE” choose language between GREEK and ENGLISH • “BUZZER SETTINGS” set buzzer on/off • “ANNUAL CHECK WARNING” enable/disable the annual check warning • “MENU MANUFACTURER” you need the code of the manufacturer to access this menu 4.2.

5. PC - Visualising via web browser You can monitor and control the panel from any device (pc, mobile etc) and from any OS with the use of an internet browser. No special software is necessary. A connection of the system with the local network via standard network cable with RJ45 interface is required.
