1INTRODUCTION
The Gardtec 800 Series of control panels consists of two main parts, the master
control panel and the keypad(s). The master control panel is a blank-end-station if the
metal version is used, or the keypad may be mounted on board if the polycarbonate
version is used with standard type keypads. Various zone wiring modes may be used,
taking the maximum number of zones available on any one system to 144 zones with 7
areas with up to 99 user codes for the Gardtec 872, 32 zones for the Gardtec 816 (15
user codes) and 16 zones for the Gardtec 800 (15 user codes). Zone expansion is via
flexible zone expander cards on all models except the Gardtec 800.
If required, Radio expansion cards may be fitted and up to two 8 channel receivers;
Two on the 872 and one on the 816. These Radio expansion cards are compatible with
a range of radio equipment.
On the 872, If required, up to two ID expander cards may be fitted instead of standard
and radio expander card. Each ID expander cards will give up to 30 ID zones using
industry standard ID buscuits or ID detectors. When using any expander cards the
control panel zones are retained and are programmable as 8 (4 wire zones) or 16 (2
wire or 2 wire End of Line) zones.
Ample room is provided within the master control panel housing for all the system
wiring, Mains connections, Digicom, Modem or Red-Care communicator (fitting inside
the metal version only) and a 7Ah SLA battery.
Uploading/Downloading capabilities are possible on all models within the range
through the Gardtec 800 Series Modem and the Gardtec Remote Software Package
for a P.C. Facility is also provided for direct connection to a P.C via the Gardtec 800
Series Modem Patch Lead.
The capabilities of the Gardtec 800 Series of control panels are endless and we
strongly recommend that all the manuals (both engineer and user) are read and
understood before any installation of the system is carried out. You will find that a little
time spent now understanding the Gardtec 800 Series will prove to be a great time
saver for the future.
It must be stressed that the Gardtec 872 is one system that is capable of being
split into seven areas. Under no circumstances should you regard it as seven
separate systems.
Any references to Area Setting or Area Functions contained
in this manual relate to
the Gardtec 872 ONLY.
