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 equip-
ment. 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.
Readability of the display.
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.
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 electri-
cian. If you are in any doubt please contact your local electricity company for advice.
This control panel MUST be Earthed.
