RTC GUARDIAN Series Installation Manual

After LED connectors have been created in all gray LED wires, make the following connections
using the connectors from the Guardian board J3 wiring harness:
• J3 wiring harness: (> symbol = connect to)
— LED1 (male) > LED 1 (female) coming from white Carmanah unit
— LED2 (male) > LED 2 (female) coming from white Carmanah unit
— LED3* (male) > LED 3 (female) coming from white Carmanah unit
*Some installations only feature two LEDs. If this is the case, disregard steps
mentioning LED3.
— LED1 (female) > LED 1 (male) coming from white Carmanah unit
— LED2 (female) > LED 2 (male) coming from white Carmanah unit
— LED3* (female) > LED 3 (male) coming from white Carmanah unit
Step 7 – Install Door Switch (optional)
Please Note: In order for the Guardian door-monitoring feature to work, a door switch must
be ordered and correctly installed. Door switches do not come standard with Guardian Series
Products, but can be purchased separately from RTC and shipped along with your order.
The door switch needs to be installed in a position and location that allows the cabinet door to
press in the switch "lever" when the cabinet door is closed and let off "lever" when the cabinet is
open. This will vary from cabinet to cabinet, but typically the side of the inside lip of the cabinet
works well.
Choose a location that follows the above guidelines and mount the door switch using a drill
and the provided mounting screws. The door switch for the GCR comes prewired to J4 of the
Guardian board, so no additional wiring is required.
Step 8 - Reconnect Power
After all components have been connected, restore power to the system by connecting the male
connectors from the wires on each battery to the female connectors on the wires coming from the
white Carmanah unit.
Step 9 - Setup Guardian Series Product in RTC Connect™
After the hardware installation is complete, the Guardian-Carmanah system must be set up in
RTC Connect. Detailed steps can be found in the Quick Start Guide in RTC Connect. To access the
guide, follow these steps:
1. Download and Open RTC Connect Software
2. Log In
3. Click on "Utilities" on the Left Toolbar
4. Select "Quick Start Guide"
5. Click on the "Adding A Guardian-Carmanah " title and follow directions
