1 INTRODUCTION
The Gardtec 593 Control Panel incorporates a Modem/Digi Communicator that acts as
an interface between the control panel and the Public Switched Telephone Network
(PSTN) allowing communications between the control panel and a PC running Gardtec
Remote software. The unit may be connected in parallel with existing PSTN sockets or
as a serial device. If the serial option is chosen the unit will have the ability to
disconnect other telephones on the line whilst the Modem/Digi Communicator is in use.
There is also provision for Audio verification via terminals A ON, A IN and A OUT.
Connection to these terminals is primarily intended for equipment capable of
transmitting/receiving speech. Installation personnel must ensure that the signal into A
IN does not exceed 500mV RMS in order to maintain approval. It is also an approval
requirement that indication of audio recording is given. Terminal A ON provides an
open collector output for this indication and is capable of sinking 40mA.
The equipment has been approved to [Commission Decision “CTR 21”] for
pan-European single terminal connection to the Public Switched Telephone
Network (PSTN). However, due to differences between the individual PSTNs
provided in different countries the approval does not, of itself, give an
unconditional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN network
termination point.
In the event of problems, you should contact your equipment supplier in the first
instance.
This product has been tested within the U.K. However, the product has been approved
to the European Standard CTR21 enabling it to be used throughout Europe. This does
not guarantee compatibility with all individual country PSTNs. It remains the
responsibility of the installer to ensure satisfactory operation in the countries outside
the U.K.

GARDTEC 593
Line Requirements
If you intend to use the communications features of the Gardtec 593 control panel you
should check that the following criteria can be met prior to installation.
1) That the telephone line can support DTMF dialling (Tone Dialling).
2) That the unit will not be connected to a 1+1 carrier system.
3) That the unit will not be connected as an extension to a PABX.
4) That no other digital equipment will be used on the same line (Fax etc.)
Terminals A5(IN), B2(IN), C3, B2 and A5 must connect with ports of other equipment
eligible for general approval NS/G/1234/J/00003 or otherwise approved for use with
the Telephone Network.
It is essential that interconnection circuits should be such that the equipment continues
to comply with the requirements of 4.2 of EN41003 for TNV (Telephone Network
Voltage) circuits and 2.3 of EN60950 for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) circuits after
making connections between circuits.
Due to the advanced features available on this product we would recommend that all
the manuals supplied with the unit are read and understood prior to installation.
2 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
User Codes
The Gardtec 593 control panel is capable of accepting up to 7 user codes plus 1
engineer code. Each of the user codes is allocated a code type (with the exception of
user 1 that is always Master) at the time the code is programmed. Four code types
plus engineer are available, these are:-
Type Number Code Type

1 Set Only
2 Main
3 User
4 Master
Note: User 1 will always be Master.
A full list of options that are available for the code types are given in the user manual.
Zones
The control panel is supplied with 8 onboard zones plus a global tamper for the zones
(a separate tamper is also supplied for the bell). All zones are normally closed
activating when they are opened. If normally open devices are to be used they may be
wired across a closed zone and the tamper loop.

GARDTEC 593
Keypads
The Gardtec 593 control panel may be used with any of the Gardtec 800 Series LED
or LCD keypads. LCD keypads provide backlit 32 character text display that makes
programming and using the system childsplay. An LCD keypad must be used to
program the Modem/Digi functions.
A maximum of four keypads may be fitted.
The Gardtec 593 control panel is also Gardtec ACE and MiniACE compatible. ACE
allows for the setting, part setting, unsetting and resetting (if programmed) of the
system via Infra-Red remote control keyfobs. ACE is available as a stand alone
receiver or built into a RKP.
Uploading/Downloading & Remote System Management
The Gardtec 593 control panel is capable of uploading and downloading from both a
primary location and secondary location (e.g Laptop computer), this helps reduce
maintenance costs and provide improved service levels should there be a need to
update the system program or a customer on site having difficulties.
This uploading/downloading capability has the ability to allow for complete Remote
System Management.

3 SYSTEM INSTALLATION
Planning The System
Time should be taken to plan the system. Because the master control panel is a blank
end station it may be looked upon as an engineer box requiring no attention from the
end user. When choosing a location for the master control panel consideration should
be given to the following:-
The routing of cables, e.g detection, sounders, mains, telephone line, keypads etc.
Protected area aesthetics in view of the above.
Future access by service personnel.
Consideration also needs to be given as to the positioning of the remote keypads,

wiring for the keypads may be 'star' or 'daisy chain' format (see Keypad Wiring for
more details). When choosing locations for remote keypads the following points should
be observed:-
The proximity of the keypad to the entry/exit point(s).
The operation of the keypad.
The readability of the display.
The wiring route to the keypad.
Gardtec ACE units are operational with a clear line of sight from the transmitter to the
receiver at a distance no greater than 3 metres *(1metre for MiniACE).

Control Panel Mounting

Loosen the single lid retaining screw situated on the bottom edge of the unit (remove
the two front retaining screws for metal version), pull the lid towards you and lift clear of
the lid securing lip. Store the lid in a safe place.
Offer the base to the wall and using it as a template mark the three fixing points.
Store the base in a safe place then drill the wall. Under no circumstances should
you drill through the base.
Before mounting the base to the wall remove any trunking knockouts that you require.
Mount the base to the wall using 30mm No.8 screws and suitable rawl plugs.
After the installation has been completed refit the lid and secure with the retaining
screw(s).
Keypad Mounting
The standard Gardtec 800 Series keypad is available with a 32 character LCD display
or with a twin seven segment LED display. The traditional keypads require the Gardtec
800 Series RKP Housing Part No. 01-063. Gardtec Contour keypads are supplied as
a complete unit for remote mounting.
This housing has been designed to allow mounting in one of three positions. These
are:-
With the hinged flap to the left. (See Fig 1a.) Use fixing points A, B, D, E
placing edge of board under
tab F
With the hinged flap to the right. (See Fig 1b.) Use fixing points A, C, D, E
With the hinged flap to the bottom. (See Fig 1c.) Use fixing points A, B, D, E
placing edge of board under
tab G
The base of the housing should be fixed to the wall using 25mm x No.8 screws and
suitable rawl plugs in three positions.
After the keypad has been mounted in the base, the correct spring (supplied with the
keypad) should be pushed onto the tamper switch (see Figs 2 & 3 for spring details).
Before replacing the cover move the ident jumper to the correct position.

4 WIRING CONNECTIONS
With the exception of the mains wiring all interconnections should be made with
multicore 7/.02 alarm cable.
Good wiring practice should be observed throughout the installation and the following
tips may prove useful.
Never run alarm cables parallel to mains cables, telephone cables or any
other cables that may be carrying inductive loads
Whenever you have to cross mains cables with alarm cables ensure that you
do so at 90°
Whenever possible wire the mains connection for the control panel back to
the consumer unit via a 3A unswitched fused spur.
Never tap into ring main circuits that have fridges/freezers on them.
Never tap into lighting circuits that have fluorescent lighting units on them.

Note: Contour keypads that are fitted with ACE have two additional jumpers for the
ACE functions, these are:-
US This jumper is the user select. With the jumper link removed each
ACE key fob will occupy one user code from the system, this is
termed as high security mode.
With the jumper link in position the ACE will occupy one user code
from the system but up to fourteen key fobs may be programmed
into the ACE, this is normal security mode.
NVM With this jumper in position the NVM contents will be cleared when
the unit is powered up. All ACE codes will be lost
The ident jumper should be positioned across the pins in one of the positions before
the system is powered up.

occupy one user code from the system, this is termed as high security mode.
With the jumper link in position the ACE will occupy one user code from the system but
up to fourteen key fobs may be programmed into the ACE, this is normal security
mode.
JP2 (RP)
This jumper is only used when the ACE is fitted to the Gardtec 593 control panel and is
used to select the ACE ident as 1 or 2 . This ident should be viewed as the RKP ident.
With the jumper off the ACE will be remote device two, with the jumper fitted the ACE
will be device number one.
JP3 (PN)
This jumper is used to select the panel type when ACE is used with the Gardtec 350+
or Gardtec 580 control panels. The jumper has no use when used with the Gardtec
800 Series or 593 and should be left in position.
JP4 (RST)
The ACE has a Non-Volatile Memory (NVM). If power is applied to the unit with this
jumper in position, the memory contents will be erased. When the unit is first powered
up, this jumper should be in position for at least 5 seconds. After this initial period the
jumper link should be removed.
If a reset of the ACE is required (all fobs to be deleted) this jumper link should be
refitted and the unit re-powered.
JP5 (EOL)
This jumper is the End Of Line jumper and is applicable to the Gardtec 350+ and

Output Connections
The output connections for the Gardtec 593 are situated along the edge of the main
PCB in the master control panel.
Warning:-
It should be noted that the total output current available for the Gardtec 593 is 1
Amp. Any attempt to draw a total current greater than this could result in serious
damage to the control panel that is not covered by the manufacturers warranty.
Below is a description of each terminal. The order given is the same as the terminal
order on the PCB looking from left to right.
Output Terminal Descriptions
SPKR + & -
These terminals are connected to any extension speakers (min impedance 16 Ohm)
that are fitted. The SP+ is the common and SPKR is the output of the amplifier driver.
The SPKR terminal is also connected to the SPKR (speaker terminal) on the RKP(s).
The current drawn by any extension speakers needs to be calculated in the total
system current. The current drawn by a 16 Ohm speaker would typically be 300mA.

Input Connections (4 Wire Zones)
Eight onboard zone inputs are available plus a global tamper for the zones. All zones
are normally closed loops and any unused zones should have the factory fitted link
fitted. If normally open devices are to be used (for example some PAs) they should be
wired across the zone and tamper loops as shown in Fig 16.

The unit may be plugged into an existing socket via the RJ11 socket on the rear of the
main PCB.
IMPORTANT: Where Serial Mode is used, the installation engineer is responsible
to ensure that the installation is compliant with all local country telephone wiring
regulations.
The Gardtec 593 may also be wired in serial mode. In serial mode the unit will
disconnect any other extensions on the line when the Modem/Digi is in use. When you
intend to use this configuration ask the local telephone operating company to supply a
NTE 5B (Master socket with blank front plate) adjacent to the control panel.

Audio Equipment Wiring

Typical connection of audio equipment is shown below in Fig 19. The following criteria
must be met.
1) The maximum input to the A IN terminal on the control panel must

not exceed 500mV rms
2) When in use indication that the microphone is in use must be

given (this is achieved by connecting the A ON terminal on the
panel to the A ON terminal on the audio unit).
Failure to meet this criteria will invalidate the approval for the product.

IMPORTANT:
Due to ‘Privacy Regulations’ it is a requirement that an indication is provided when
audio monitoring is in operation. The installation engineer is responsible to ensure that
the installation is compliant with all local country privacy regulations. Terminal A ON
provides an open collector output for audio operation indication and is capable of
sinking 40mA.
Where this feature is implemented, the installation engineer shall inform the occupiers
of the premises regarding this facility.

GardTec 590 Series & DD243 : 2002

From the 1st July 2002 DD243 2002 will come into effect in England, Wales and
Northern Ireland replacing the 1999 policy. All communications systems that require a
Police URN will need to conform to DD243 2002.
This document is intended to help installers of the GardTec 590 Series control panels
understand the new features that have been incorporated into the panels and use
them to ensure that the system complies to the new DD243 2002 requirements. The
advanced DD243 features may only be programmed via a LCD keypad.
This document is intended as a guide only and should be read in conjunction with the
relevant standards relating to the alarm system giving particular attention to BS 4737
and DD243. These may be obtained from the British Standards Institute.
To program the confirm options on the GardTec 590 Series enter engineer mode
(1234 default followed by YES) the display will show 'Program Zones' press NO until
the display shows 'Program Alarm Confirm' press YES to enter into this section.
The first option will be
Confirm Time Window (default = 60)

This time window may be programmed between 1 and 120 minutes. To comply the
required time should be between 30 and 60 minutes.
See 5.4.1 DD243 2002 Criteria for sequentially confirmed alarm conditions.
Confirm on Entry (default = On)

This option may be programmed to On or Off. If Confirm on Entry = Off then confirmed
alarms to central station are disabled if the entry timer is started. If ACE is used then it
is permissible to set this option to On.
See 6.4.4 DD243 2002 Opening the initial entry door disables all means of
conformation.
Sounder Mode (default = Unconfirmed)

This option controls the system speakers fitted, options are confirmed or un-confirmed.
If Sounder Trigger = Confirmed then internal sounder will only trigger with a confirmed
alarm.
If Sounder Trigger = Unconfirmed then internal sounders will trigger with un-confirmed
alarms.
This feature is not mandatory for DD243
Reset Mode (default = Any)

Choose from Any or Normal.
If Unconfirm = Any then any code can be used to reset an un-confirmed alarm.
If Unconfirm = Normal then the programmed reset mode for alarm will still be required
i.e. if alarm reset has been programmed as engineer and Unconfirm reset is Normal
then an engineer reset will be required for Un-confirmed alarms.
See A.4 DD243 2002 Resetting following an alarm condition.
Page 56
PR5200_11.qxd 04/07/02 11:39 Page 57
GARDTEC 593
Confirm Secondary Time Window (default = 60 minutes)
This time window may be programmed between 1 and 120 minutes we would suggest
a time between 30 and 60 minutes but should typically be the same time as the
confirm time window. This option affects zones that have been allocated as secondary
zones only. For functionality please refer to Secondary Zones Below.
ET (Exit Terminator) Mode (default = Set)

If ET Mode = Set then the exit terminator zone will terminate the exit procedure.
If ET Mode = Door Lock and the ET zone (door lock) is operated on entry then all
confirmed alarms will be disabled.
See 6.4.3 DD243 2002 Unlocking the initial entry door disables all means of
conformation.
Bell Mode (default = Unconfirmed)

This option controls the bells fitted to the system, options are confirmed or un-
confirmed.
If Bell Trigger = Confirmed then Bell will only trigger with a confirmed alarm.
If Bell Trigger = Unconfirmed then Bell will trigger with un-confirmed alarms.
Strobe Mode (default = Unconfirmed)

This option controls the Strobe(s) fitted to the system, options are confirmed or un-
confirmed.
If Strobe Trigger = Confirmed then Strobe will only trigger with a confirmed alarm.
If Strobe Trigger = Unconfirmed then Strobe will trigger with un-confirmed alarms.
This gives the ability to show to the keyholder from outside the premises that a
previously unconfirmed alarm has is now confirmed.
Confirmed Start Delay (default = 000m)

May be programmed between 0 & 120 minutes (default 0).
If programmed to anything other than 0 the panel cannot send confirmed signals until
the time programmed has expired. This time starts when the system has set and will
prevent confirmed alarms being generated in situations when a person has been
accidentally locked in the building.
Ace Low Battery (default = On)

Options are On or Off. This option allows for the use of new control panel boards with
V5.1 or later software to be used with earlier keypads. If older non DD243 compliant
type keypads are used with V5.1 or later this option should programmed to Off. It is a
requirement of DD243 2002 that when using ACE Low Battery is reported to the end
user if the system is set using ACE.
See A.1 DD243 2002 Portable ACE used for setting and unsetting.
Secondary Zones
The Program Part / Test /Chime option has now been renamed to Program Zone
Attributes. Within this section you are able to allocate zones as Secondary Zones.
Page 57
PR5200_11.qxd 04/07/02 11:39 Page 58
GARDTEC 593
Secondary type zones would be used for detectors that may be deemed as having an
over sensitive nature, this will stop unwanted user call-outs. Zones that are entered as
Secondary will follow the chain of events below.
During a set period triggering a Secondary Zone will start the Secondary Time
Window. This will be logged but no further action is taken. If the second zone to alarm
during the same set period is also a Secondary Zone then it will be logged and the
Secondary Time Window will be restarted.
If the time set within the Secondary Time Window is still running and a zone that is not
allocated as a Secondary Zone is triggered the event will be logged an Alarm A (un-
confirmed) and Alarm B (confirmed) will be transmitted.
Perimeter Zones
Within the Program Zone Attribute section you are able to allocate zones as Perimeter.
Zones that are entered as Perimeter will follow the chain of events below.
When activated an unconfirmed alarm will be transmitted to the central station. An

output or digi channel may be programmed as perimeter (or if using Point ID a new
signal type of perimeter will be sent). This will allow central station to inform the
keyholder that an unconfirmed alarm has been received and is a perimeter type device
i.e window backdoor etc. etc. This feature is not mandatory for DD243.
Scenarios Relating to DD234 2002.
Sounder / Bell Considerations

Please note careful consideration should be given when programming Confirm
Sounder and Confirm Bell Modes. If both are programmed for confirmed and any of the
above scenarios occur no local sounders will activate.
Other DD243 2002 Notes to Consider

When a system auto re-arms with a zone in fault condition The GardTec control panel
will omit the zone concerned. A signal should be sent to the central station indicating
that a detector(s) has (have) been isolated. To achieve this a Digi channel should be
programmed as part-set, this automatically send the required signal as the detector is
omitted.

New Output Option (Status)
A new output option of Status has been added, this option has three operating modes
and is intended to provide a visual indication of the system status.
System Set Output On for 10 seconds
System Unset Output On for 1s Output Off for 1s for a 10 second
period
Confirmed Alarm Output On for 3 seconds Output Off for 1s until
system reset.
It is envisaged that this status output would be fitted to an indicator (i.e. LED) that can
be seen from outside the premises.
