The GS690 addressable control and indicating panel forms the central part of a fire detection and alarm system. The
panel is available with 1 or 2 addressable loops and is easy to install and operate. A central microprocessor delivers
reliable operation and requires minimum maintenance.
The GS690 control and indicating panel is compatible with SITERWELL addressable detectors and other devices, such
as manual pull stations and audio/visual alarm devices. They are suitable for small and medium-sized buildings.
This Manual provides installers with instructions to install, use and service the GS690 control and indicating panel using
revision 1.0 operating firmware.
1. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
1.1 Alarm System Limitations
An automatic fire alarm system
–typically made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible and
visual warning devices, and a fire alarm control with remote notification capability
–can provide early warning of a
developing fire. Such a system, however, does not assure protection against property damage or loss of life resulting
from afire. The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detectors be located throughout a protected premise
following the recommendations of the current edition of the National Fire Protection Association Standard 72 (NFPA 72),
manufacturer's recommendations, State and local codes, and the recommendations contained in the Guide for Proper
Use of System Smoke Detectors, available for free download from the National Electrical Manufacturers Association,
NEMA web site at https://www.nema.org/Standards/Pages/Guide-for-Proper-Use-of-System-Smoke-Detectors.aspx A
study by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (an agency of the United States government) indicated that
smoke detectors may not go off in as many as 35% of all fires. While fire alarm systems are designed to provide early
warning against fire, they do not guarantee warning or protection against fire. A fire alarm system may not provide timely
or adequate warning, or simply may not function, for a variety of reasons:
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot reach the detectors such as in chimneys, in or behind walls,
on roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level or floor of a
building. A second-floor detector, for example, may not sense a first-floor or basement fire.
Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and alarm only when heat on their sensors increases at a
predetermined rate or reaches a predetermined level. Rate-of-rise heat detectors may be subject to reduced sensitivity
over time. For this reason, the rate-of-rise feature of each detector should be tested at least once per year by a qualified
fire protection specialist. Heat detectors are designed to protect property, not life.
Smoke detectors must be installed in the same room as the control panel and in rooms used by the system for the
connection of alarm transmission wiring, communications, signaling, and/or power. If detectors are not so located, a
developing fire may damage the alarm system, crippling its ability to report a fire.
Audible warning devices such as bells may not alert people if these devices are located on the other side of closed or
partly open doors or are located on another floor of a building. Any warning device may fail to alert people with a
disability or those who have recently consumed drugs, alcohol or medication.
Please note that:

Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizures in people with conditions such as epilepsy.

Studies have shown that certain people, even when they hear a fire alarm signal, do not respond or comprehend the
meaning of the signal. It is the property owner's responsibility to conduct fire drills and other training exercise to make
people aware of fire alarm signals and instruct them on the proper reaction to alarm signals.

In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.
