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.

2SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Codes
The Gardtec 872 is capable of accepting up to 99 user codes (15 for 800/816) 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. Code types plus
engineer that are available are:
Code Type (872) Code Type (800/816)
Cleaner Set Only
Area 1 Main
Area 2 User
Area 3 Master
Area 4 Cleaner (816 only)

Note: User 1 will always be Master Level.
Note: For EN3 installations, User Codes and Engineer Codes MUST be six
digits in length.
Note: 800/816 have no area facilities.
Note: 800 series control panels can only be programmed using LCD KEYPAD.

A full list of options that are available for the code types are given in the user manual.
As a general guide for this section, the codes for the Gardtec 872 are split into two
groups, Global and Area codes. Codes allocated to these groups are as follows:-
Global Codes (Controlling All Areas).
Master
Main
Set Only
Engineer
If any area is set, entering a global code (not Set Only or Cleaner) will unset all areas.
If all areas are unset, entering a global code followed by YES (or code then NO YES if
Engineer code is used) will give the option to set all areas.
The global codes with the exception of Set Only also have other options. More details
of these options are given in the user manual.
Area Codes (Controlling Specific Areas)
Cleaner (Area 0)
Area 2 Main 6
Area 3 Main 7
Main 1 Area 4
Main 2 Area 5
Main 3 Area 6
Main 4 Area 7
Main 5 Area 1
Group Master
Group Main
Group Area
These area codes will only control their specific areas. Area codes are 'low level codes'
and have no user options, they will however allow for the part setting of each area.
Areas 1 to 7 may have up to 3 part sets suites (groups of zones). If part set 1 is used
zones programmed into the part 1 suite will be removed (omitted), if part set 2 is used
zones programmed into the part 2 suite will be removed and if part set 3 is used zones
programmed into both part 1 and part 2 suites will be removed, no programming is
required for part 3 as it combines zones in part 1 and part 2.
PR5892 Rev11 800 Series Eng Ref 15.qxd 16/11/2006 11:20 Page 5

It should be noted that the zones programmed into a part set suite are programmed by
the engineer and not the user.
To set an area simply enter the required area code (Press YES if a Main Area Code is
used) and exit the area.
To part set an area enter the area code followed by NO and the part set number
required (1, 2 or 3). If Main Area type code is used enter code followed by part set
number.
To unset an area, enter the area code.
Cleaner Code (part set 0) ) Master & Main Codes only
The Cleaner code or part set 0 acts in a different way to the other area codes. To set
the system and remove the cleaner zones Enter code followed by YES, YES 0 This will
set the system or area and remove the cleaner zones.
If a cleaner code is now entered the cleaner zones will also be set.
If a cleaner code is entered when the system is fully set or area set only the cleaner
zones will be unset.
It should be noted that any entry/exit zones that are removed or unset via the cleaner
code or part set 0 will chime when violated. This is to prevent other users straying into
protected areas without warning.
More details of codes and using the system are given in the relevant sections of this
manual, and in the user manuals.

Zone Allocation to Areas
Whilst within the zone programming section zones may be allocated to areas. This
may be one single area or multiple (common) areas.
If a zone is allocated to more than one area it is then a common area zone
and the following logic is applied:-
If any area that is assigned to the zone is unset then the zone is not active.
If all areas that are assigned to a zone are set then the zone is active.
If any area that is assigned to the zone is in exit then the zone is also in exit
(zone type will still apply).
If any area that is assigned to the zone is in entry then the zone is also in
entry (zone type will still apply).
Zones
Three zone wiring modes are available depending on standard selected on power up.
16(2 Wire). If required, this configuration may be programmed for 16 two wire zones.
In this case, two zones should be reserved for global tampers and the remaining 14
zones are then programmable for the desired zone types. All zones marked as AZ are
positive loops and all zones marked as TZ are negative loops. Your global tamper
loops must be of opposite polarity to the zones it is protecting.
Cannot be used in Grade 3 installations.
8(4 Wire). If required, this configuration may be programmed for 8 four wire zones.
Wire 8 individual zones with their own tampers.

16(EOL) The control panel zones may also be programmed as 16 EOL (End Of Line
resistor) zones. This configuration gives the highest possible zone wiring security and
a maximum of ten detectors may be wired on to each zone when this option is
selected. Resistors required for EOL operation are supplied with the control panel.
When using EOL zones each detector has a 6K8 resistor in parallel with the alarm
contacts and there is a 4K7 resistor in series with the two zone wires. This gives both
alarm and tamper protection from a single pair of wires. To make full use of this
security feature the 4K7 resistor must be fitted to the furthest most point in the loop.
Three wiring options are available under 16(EOL):
Norm: Standard GardTec wiring configuration without Mask or Fault detection.
Note: Does not give any Fault or Masking detection and should only be used with Zone pairing.
ELF1: ELF1 wiring is used for detectors that have a relay output (a pair of terminals)
for Fault or Mask..
ELF2: ELF2 wiring is used for detectors that have a transistor output (a single
terminal) for Fault or Mask.
Note: We would recommend that either ELF1 Format or ELF2 Format (dependant on detector output type,
Relay or Transistor) is used. ELF1 or ELF2 wiring modes will allow for Alarm, Tamper, Fault and Masking to be
monitored from a single zone without the need for zone pairing.
Note: The installer should check what output type the detector are, noting that all the detectors should be of the
same type with regards to the Fault / Mask output.
Zone Pairing.
If the 8(4 Wire) wiring mode is used then a zone must be used to monitor for Masking
and Fault. This is achieved by selecting Zone Pairing as on. Zone Pairing cannot be
used in ELF1 or ELF2 wiring modes.
When using Zone Pairing each zone will have a corresponding paired zone that will be
used for Masking and Fault signals. This is done by using the Odd numbered zones for
the normal alarm detection and the Even numbered zones for Masking and Fault
Detection.
Please note that half the zones on the system would be lost for processing the Mask
and Fault signals and it would be more prudent to use the ELF1 or ELF2 modes as
described previously.
Note: GardTec DO NOT recommend zone pairing if the control panel has be programmed for 16 two wire
zones.

Zone Expansion
An expansion path is available through zone expander boards. Each expander board
being programmable for 4 x four wire zones, 8 x two wire zones or 8x two wire EOL
zones. Up to sixteen expander boards may be fitted to a Gardtec 872, giving a total of
144 zones when configured as 2 wire or 2 wire EOL zones, and up to two expander
boards on the 816 giving a maximum of 32 zones. Each expander board and the
control panel zones may use differing wiring configurations.
Expander cards may be fitted in locations away from the master control panel.
More details of zone options are given in the relevant sections in this manual.
ID Zone Expansion
As an alternative to ZEX expansion, up to two ID expander boards may be fitted. Each
ID expander board will accept up to 30 standard ID biscuits/devices. ID biscuits may
be used with all standard detection devices. This system allows either single leg or ring
wiring using standard alarm cable, detectors may, if required can be ‘teed’ off the leg.
This expansion method can offer considerable savings of cable and labour
One ID expander card may be plugged on to the control panel PCB (not with onboard
RKP) with the other remote. Alternatively both ID expander may be mounted remote
from the control panel. If this method of expansion is used standard zone
expanders or radio modules cannot be used.
Zone Descriptions
Up to sixteen characters may be used for zone descriptions on the LCD keypad. The
description that you allocate to a zone will also be applied to the tamper of that zone. If
the cause of an alarm is through a zone tamper the description will be shortened to 13
characters on the display, the last three characters being replaced with <space>T!
The zone descriptor is displayed whilst viewing the cause of an alarm, viewing the log,
if a zone is violated during exit and when programming zone descriptors
User Names
Each user (with the exception of the engineer) may be allocated a user name of up to
nine characters. This name will be shown if the system is being set with a master or
main code type and whilst viewing the log.
