NTRODUCTION
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 80 zones with 3
areas for the Gardtec
840
, 32 zones for the Gardtec
816
and 16 zones for the Gardtec
800
. Zone expansion is via flexible zone expander cards on all models except the
Gardtec
800
.
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
840
is one system that is capable of being
split into three areas. Under no circumstances should you regard it as three
separate systems.
Any references to Area Setting or Area
Functions contained in this manual relate to
the Gardtec 840 ONLY.
