OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION
This document covers the installation and commissioning of a GEKKO fire alarm panel. This document is intended for use by
a competent, qualified, fire alarm installation engineer.
The GEKKO fire alarm system should be tailored to the building requirements. The complete system should be designed to
meet all applicable regulations. The installation must then be performed in accordance with the system design. This manual
not only clarifies the components and connections during installation, but will also assist in commissioning and maintenance.
This manual covers the installation and commissioning of a complete system, excluding the communications system. Please
