Replacement fuses should be of the same type and rating conforming to IEC 127. The GT 600 / 601 Control Panels are fitted with resettable fuses. The areas protected are Battery, Aux, Bell, Keypad and Comms. In the event of a fuse tripping or an input/ output not working, remove the source of the load and check wiring for shorts.
Introduction The GT 600 / 601 Control Panels are microprocessor based units that have 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, EN2 (Grade 2) or EN3 (Grade 3) operating standards.

Digi Modem - The GT 600 / 601 control panels feature an onboard Digi modem. The Digi provides all the features of an eight channel communicator whilst the Modem provides facilities for Gardtec Remote Upload/Download software package. Vo-Comm - (If fitted) Is a method of transmitting signals to a standard land-line or mobile telephone, giving information regarding the status of your security system.

Zone/Output/ID Expander Card Connections Upto 4 zone expander cards (or 1 ID Expander card) can be fitted to the 600. Up to 16 zone expander cards (or 2 ID Expander card) can be fitted to the 601. These are all fitted to a common expander bus via a serial connection lead (part No. 1CB 6046). This lead is fitted to the plug on the front of the control panel PCB and the cards wired as shown below.

GT 600 / 601 Connection Details If powering up the Control Panel with battery only, connect battery and short out JP1 for approx. 5 seconds. Key pad and Control Panel will then become active. On the GT 600 the BAT. jumper can be found under the pcb plastic cover.
Initial Power Up When the Control Panel is powered up it will be either set or unset dependent on the state of the Control Panel when it was powered down. The factory default state will be unset. Reset to Default Modes Note: It is ESSENTIAL that a 4 6 Yes No reset is done to all new systems before commencement of programming.
Engineer Programming Although LED keypads may be used, ONLY the LCD keypads can be used to programme the GT 600 / 601 Control Panels. To enter the engineer programming mode follow the steps outlined below:- 1. Remove all power from the system for at least 10 seconds.

Select PD6662 The display will then show:- 1: 2004 2: 2010 From Control Panel Version 2 ONLY. 5. Select either 1 or 2 depending on which standard you require. Please WAIT The display will show:- This may show for several minutes. Enter Authorisor The display will then show:- Code .
Note: Throughout the programming routine you may use the 0 (zero) Key to escape back one level. This does not apply when a numeric entry is expected, in this case complete the input before using the 0 Key to escape. Factory Default Codes: Engineer BS / EN2 - 1234...

Programming Alarm Confirm The first option will be: Confirm Time Window (default = 60) This time window may be programmed between 1 and 120 minutes. To comply the required time should be between 30 and 60 minutes. Confirm on Entry (default = On) This option may be programmed to On or Off.
Page 22
Confirm Secondary Time Window (default = 60 minutes) This time window may be programmed between 1 and 120 minutes we would suggest a time between 30 and 60 minutes but should typically be the same time as the confirm time window. This option affects zones that have been allocated as secondary zones only.
Page 23
Secondary type zones would be used for detectors that may be deemed as having an over sensitive nature, this will stop unwanted user call-outs. Zones that are entered as Secondary will follow the chain of events below. During a set period triggering a Secondary Zone will start the Secondary Time Window.

Typical Wiring Modes Where Anti-Mask detectors are used, one of the below wiring modes may be utilised. ELF1 wiring is used for detectors that have a Alarm Tamper Fault/Mask relay output (a pair of terminals) for Fault or Mask. The installer should check what output type the detectors are, noting that all detectors should be of the same type with regards to the Fault / Mask output.
